Making Simple Cabinet Doors From Scrap Wood

Part of my ongoing school bus conversion project calls for cabinets through the entire bus.  These are the latest cabinets I built from donated scrap wood.

Bedroom cabinets

These were very simple to make. 

A basic 2" X 2' wooden frame and 1/2" OSB board base. 

The doors are as you see here.

A little fancier door was required for the living room.

Stain Wood With Snapple Iced Tea

This is certainly not a new idea. People have stained wood for years with such things as food coloring, clothing dye, berries and just about any other colored liquid you can imagine.

If you've been following my slow moving school bus conversion project you'll know that I'm converting a school bus to live, work and travel in. Right now I have an OSB board for a kitchen countertop. I've been kicking around what kind of countertop I wanted to make but I knew that I wanted to embed a map of the US in it. A friend donated me a load of 40 year old cedar planking and the wheels started turning. I purchased a map puzzle of the US on Etsy.com and the rest is history.

A One Man Habitat for Humanity

A man was so upset seeing a homeless woman on the streets that he decided to build her a house.

Everyone can't travel off to build homes for people

or set off and single handedly build a home for someone else.

Many can't even volunteer locally.

"How you can help".

Let's Start Being Human!
