Re: Good News Bus Conversion Project

Very nice! I was wondering how you were going to fabricate the cabinet doors.

Did you use screws to attach the cabinet door frames together?

Re: Good News Bus Conversion Project

I think we would all agree that having tools for our projects are important. Lowe's is running some great deals right now if you can find them. For example I just picked up this drill bit set for $5 after discounts:



I have info on the blog for this item and others that you can end up getting for FREE.
