Skinning Windows

In the end, I'm not sure if it was a good idea to skin a few windows in my bus with sheet metal. I mean, it wasn't necessary. But then, it helps obscure the works inside (a shower; some shelves).

Prison Bus Gets a Roof Deck / Cargo Rack

Full build video is on YouTubes. I see why people like the views up there ... what a nice feel to be on solid "ground" atop the bus.

yep yep

I completely agree ... the easiest access is likely the many windows, any of which can be smashed in a second ... but I like to keep the low-risk, low-IQ burglars away

Hmm, makes me think I should WELD these hasps in place, so it's more than mere bolts holding them in place. And better locks, which I've seen for this setup. Peace!

New Locks & Lights on the Prison Bus

Tinted would be great! Awesome idea. Maybe I can stick on a film .... detail work is key, so I’ll have to tune them up

joints

The joints just weren't as tight as I was hoping for ... I think I've gotta use router bits or chisels from now on. On the table saw, the tenons just end up too messy.

Next time!
