"Gretchen, stop trying to make 'fetch' happen, it's NOT going to happen!" Seriously though, GREAT, great channel, you inspired me to move in to my bus 'pre-finish' and it's been fantastic. Thank you so much !!!
A hint, idea. Your shelf you made. I would recommend using a peice of weatherstripping, foam on the side against the window. Help prevent scraped and cracking window....
I hope that doesn't break your window. You can get a piece of pipe insulation or a pool noodle, slice it open and use it as a cushion between the glass and wood. Heck, you could cushion both sides like that.
Hey Emma I just wanted to say that I like your new dashboard and if you add yourself something too protect your windshield that would help you in the future and I think next you should maybe build yourself a cupholder for up front as well. I really do enjoy watching your videos and always look forward to watching you come up with new projects as well. Great Video Emma 👍👍
Love your down to earth uploads Emma. It's funny I started watching your channel because you bought the Honda monkey which showed up in my feeds. Normally I watch motorcycle channels. Anyhoo, I think you need to invest in a small shop vac to pick up all your wood particles after doing wood work. It'll make your post cleanup so much easier. I think vacuums are awesome!
Nice work, Emma. I live by the philosophy that when you don't know where to go, go somewhere. Same thing applies to doing things. You have that mastered. Best to you as you continue the build. I will definitely be checking in on the progress.
I like it when you're building and improving your bus.😊 Always a great attitude. Slowly but surely you keep making it better. Always look forward to seeing you.
Queen Emma in her queendom that she built herself and calls Birbie. Thanks for yet again very entertaining episode of the never ending story of Building Birbie. Lots of succes and a nice week 🇳🇱
6:14 Mark. I have the EXACT same issue. I have gadgets I need when I'm driving but the dash in front of the driver's seat is too small, sloped badly AND made of flimsy material that can't hold any weight. So I'm also looking in to making a shelf that fits over the instrument console. I just get the willies with the idea of putting something against the windshield because the first big bump in the road I can picture my windshield cracking.
You can get that split wire loom in many sizes, as well as p-clamps in either stainless steel or plastic to secure it. With the clamps, you could either shoot new screws to mount them, or use existing screws, just take them out and reinstall them through the hole in the clamp.
The dash self is a great Idea ... but I suggest you leave a decent gap between the dash shelf and your windshield, you may end up breaking the glass if the shelf is pressed up against the glass. It's a little hard to tell if there's a gap in the video.
Hey Emma! Great job on the dash and getting the boxing in started! Just one thing maybe run a strip of black rubber along the edge of the wood that's facing towards (maybe its touching?) the windscreen, so it doesn't mark or crack the front windscreen if any movement! Also please make sure it's well secured down to the dashboard so that it can't fly toward you or through the window in an impact (God forbid) but better safe than sorry! Other than that it's all looking great! I love how you just work things out and get stuck into them! Great attitude! And the Bus is REALLY coming together now! Looks great! You're looking well too.. Cheers from London 👍😎🏴
Emma, I love watching your videos and love your attitude. Just an FYI, check your package of tie wraps as most white tie wraps are not UV resistant. What I mean by that is they will get brittle and break when exposed to sunlight for any length of time. If they aren't they will only last a few months if continuously exposed the sunlight. You are probably fine for now, but if you notice them getting yellow, just know you will need to replace them. Look for UV resistant ones when you go to replace them. Of course putting the wiring in an enclosure will protect it from sunlight as well.
Use wire covers like you would use for the wires on your TV if its on the wall they are available at Home Depot there are different types and sizes. They are vinyl and have a sticky back on some of them but they are white or black.
Great work, staying productive! A quick tip for your oven, buy a pizza stone, and place it directly on the burner plate. Still cook on the rack, but the stone on the plate will disperse the heat more evenly.
Your stain color issue is due to different types of wood. Pine stains different than oak or cedar or any other species of wood. You’re doing a great job. The bus is turning out great
So great to see someone with little skill but a can do attitude tackle this job and do well. Keep it up your mojo to do the tasks will come and go(hold on to the ups and try let go of the downs). For your wood ceiling. As the wood ages it will get darker and darker. It's the nature of wood with UV. Try get a clear sealer and put a white tint in the sealer(with a UV protection) I used an external sealer. It makes the sealer almost a watered milky colour. Then give the wood a couple of Coates it will result in a lighter looking wood with the wood grain coming through and prevent the wood from going darker. We use a product Woodoc 30 with a moonglow tint (this is in South Africa) I am sure you guys have something similar. Onwards and upwards.
Anyone can provide a suggestion but only you will know for sure if that would be the decision you want to go with. Always ask the "why" questions for the purpose of learning more from that person. A router would be cool to own though. You are doing such a great job Emma. Yep the most important thing about mounting wires is always to protect them and to make sure they are not kinked anywhere. Love your vision and creativity.
I was going to tell you a long time back, but forgot, maybe you could use decorative wire-chase to enclose all that wiring? They have all kinds at home depot. it's like pvc pipe with a slit. or a removeable top allowing you to put the wire in the bracket, then cover it with the pretty plastic, long cap. the stuff on amazon is like 24" long and you get 8 pieces, I think. I use that for my entertainment centers. The stuff at the Depot is 8 feet long I think, been a minute since I bought any. Good to see you on this cold friday :)
Something to think about maybe with all the finish work you’re fixing to do it’s a good time to get a Ridgid cordless Brad gun and some glue. I think you’re doing awesome. I’m glad that you’re finishing above the windows
Da, you made me happy today.. I was waiting for the moment you addressed the wire entanglement hanging all around.. Go, Emmy, just a little more effort to do. Oh, and that pencil in the hair is cool! 😊It's not easy to manage the wires when you move them elsewere as those were supposed to be, since those are always too short or too long. Nice work though, the black ribbed wrap thingy is neat solution. Don't get discouraged if you hit some obstakle, just think and make your way around. Good idea about the overhead concealment unit at the end.. Keep sticking to the pillars with the backing all the way down, then attach side parts from the side into the backing. I think it will be the easier way. Cheers though, you're doing excelent. Don't mind small imperfections and krookedness.. It's a part of the build. I know very well that adaptations in builds are way harder than to build something on measure from scratch. 😜 Keep safe.
You are getting very domesticated. Suggestion: After you get those wires hidden, buy a squeegee, some glass cleaner and new wiper blades for the windshield. Your videos always make me smile. Glad I found your channel.
So much fun to watch your thought process every week !!! I just can't imagine the things we don't see ! hey, if you want a router, get yourself a router 😎😎!! I'm sure you'll put it to good use !!! Did you get a haircut, or is that just your non-bus working hairstyle while making your sponsor spot ?
Are there not air vents for the windshield coming from below the platform you built in front of the steering wheel? Or are the vents at the top? Or no vent?! I can't imagine there wouldn't be any vent at all... But I don't have a bus, so what do I know... Yay for trims! It will look a lot more finished once you've done that. After that, enclosing your bathroom and finishing your couches, and your bus will look like a home! Love your hard work and, mostly, your personality, always!
the backup monitor is in a plastic headrest frame. If you took it out of that and just mounted the stand to the monitor you'll have better adjustability and a cleaner look.
They use these pieces of wood that are about 1 1/2 x 3" with a grove already in it. You've seen them before, they run a strap through them when they band pallets and lumber bundles together. They'll give you a couple for free. Just cut a 45 degree when you go around the window. All that wiring should fit in that groove just fine.👍🌹
Emma, maybe you should consider getting a multi-function toaster to avoid using the big oven so much. The Nostalgia Classic Retro 3-in-1 Breakfast Station Toaster not only poaches eggs it steams vegetables.
“If you only look at the boards that are straight”….😂 More commentary from your sis-in- law, please. The wires look so much better! How is the dash mount part staying in place on the dash?
I was watching a bus conversion were, instead of having such a big massive bed, they had walled off a bit of that area and used it as a garage to store a bike, with a small lift to get it on and off.
Look who is back with another wonderful video. It's my favorite RUclipsr. Really love this girl and what she is doing and how much she has done. Love you Emma ❤️ 💛❤️💛❤️💛⚘️⚘️⚘️
Just a quick question! Why wouldn’t you put the wires behind the wood instead of in front? Do you plan on building a square around the wires and mount them to the wood plank?
That window thing bothers me. I would not put any pressure on the window. That plywood piece on the side. I would have two layers the outside for show and the inside to channel the wires. That way you don''t have to drill holes. Good Luck!!!
I bet all color pigmentation for the stain is stuck to the bottom of the bucket, (especially if it's stain and sealer in one) get you a scraper and get it off the bottom then stir the crap out of it. Great job!
To make a plywood shelf look nicer. Get a 1 x 2 or a 1 x 3 oak or pine whatever your plywood is, that's slightly longer than your longest edge. On a tablesaw rip the 1x2 on the edge at like 1/8" so it ends up as a strip 3/4" x 1/8" congrats you now have a piece of edging for your plywood. Cut it same as or slightly longer than your plywood edge. Spread some wood glue on the plywood edge stick your edging on there and use a 18ga brad nailer with about 1" brads spaced about 6" apart. Keep the edging centered as you nail it. Put remaining 3 pieces on etc. Remember this increases the dimensions of shelf by 1/8" each side so figure sizes accordingly. Sand/file top/bottom/ends so they are smooth/square and there's no lip from the face to the edge. Sand corners a bit so they aren't so sharp. You can fill nail holes if you wish. Use some of your sawdust you created mixed with a little wood glue for a good filler that's color matched. There's also thin veneer wood edging that can be glued on...but the 1/8" is a bit easier to work with
Your work is getting better but my issue is you can not block part of your windshield and view out of your windshield with a shelf and device's. Good luck moving forward !
That interpretation explains a lot 😕. Have someone stand in front of the bus say 20ft away then walk towards your front bumper, with you in the driver's seat, compare the difference of what you see with and without the shelf, with the shelf it changes your view. It will also block the air of your windshield defrost vents. Just one person's opinion.
If you had searched for cable concealers on Amazon you’d have found very inexpensive, simple stick on conduit you could have used to run the wires straight down. It would only have cost a few dollars and taken 15 minutes to install. I really wish you would make a super short video of what project you’re about to tackle before you actually do it so that people could chime in with options before you get started.

Just take the wires and run them through plastic wire sleeving... you can get it from Home Depot in the Electrical section or from an electrical supply house near you. You're gonna need big diameter sleeving, maybe 2 1/2 or 3 inch. Probably can get it on Amazon as well. It will clean everything up and make it easy to get to the wiring if you ever need to again. Wire sleeving is used a lot in the Electrical and Automotive industry.

I don't think u really want help since uv already finished the work long before you publish the video. But for future reference... I used to retrofit TVs,remotes and call buttons in old hospitals with something called CHANNEL CONDUIT. It comes in all sizes and colors.

I think a shelf in that spot is perfect to conceal the wires and the boards that you want to hide. It’s going to look great

Use the black insulation for pipe to hide wires. It has A split in it the can be glued or taped. Secure with ties
Just a quick question! Why wouldn’t you put the wires behind the wood instead of in front? Do you plan on building a square around the wires and mount them to the wood plank?
YOUR WORK LOOKS VERY GOOD.. KEEP IT UP..
Great job!
Careful with that board because if you put pressure on the front end of it you could break your windshield. If it is up against it.
Thanks for the new video! 😊
18:41 Stewart Skoolie theme!
Great job
Emma..you are so
Creative!..🤔🙂😊
Wire management is sooooo important. Done right, you should see NO wires! Makin it happen!
Good cable mgmt leans just as much to function and accessibly as to appearance.
2 right angled pieces of trim glued together will make a square tube
Use foam to shape and design the place needed, Then copy the shape with Fiberglass+Resin. This maybe solve everything very easily
Emma Vision got to Love it...:)
Good job Emma♡
We didn't know ya had a kid...congrats... how fun...😁
That window thing bothers me. I would not put any pressure on the window.
That plywood piece on the side. I would have two layers the outside for show and the inside to channel the wires. That way you don''t have to drill holes.
Good Luck!!!
That wooden shelf could crack your windshield going over rough roads
Emma 2 things you should make some isolation betwen windows and this new dashbord, and dashbord must be screwed to something.
Are you going to finish above the windows on the sides?
I love your thingys😂😂😂😂
I bet all color pigmentation for the stain is stuck to the bottom of the bucket, (especially if it's stain and sealer in one) get you a scraper and get it off the bottom then stir the crap out of it. Great job!
To make a plywood shelf look nicer. Get a 1 x 2 or a 1 x 3 oak or pine whatever your plywood is, that's slightly longer than your longest edge. On a tablesaw rip the 1x2 on the edge at like 1/8" so it ends up as a strip 3/4" x 1/8" congrats you now have a piece of edging for your plywood. Cut it same as or slightly longer than your plywood edge. Spread some wood glue on the plywood edge stick your edging on there and use a 18ga brad nailer with about 1" brads spaced about 6" apart. Keep the edging centered as you nail it. Put remaining 3 pieces on etc. Remember this increases the dimensions of shelf by 1/8" each side so figure sizes accordingly. Sand/file top/bottom/ends so they are smooth/square and there's no lip from the face to the edge. Sand corners a bit so they aren't so sharp. You can fill nail holes if you wish. Use some of your sawdust you created mixed with a little wood glue for a good filler that's color matched.

i didn't, it's the exact same height as the existing dash
That interpretation explains a lot 😕. Have someone stand in front of the bus say 20ft away then walk towards your front bumper, with you in the driver's seat, compare the difference of what you see with and without the shelf, with the shelf it changes your view.

Just hollow out the back of 2x4 for the wires ?
Please Emma fit some better window blinds for your privacy just to seal all the windows up for night time that is really easy.
