My vote is totally for "Bus-Less Not-Dungeon"

“I killed one project to send a message to the other projects.”

Call it The Bus Stop, because that's where you stopped working on The Bus.

He says that random bit of sheet metal is something that he doesn't remember buying but the fact that it fit the gap in the wall perfectly is nothing but a coincidence.

I change my mind, the shop is: The Dunn-geon

At least this pit has a cover and isn't car sized!!

“The comments on that video will be fun” Not a single person noticed the move LOL, everyone was just worried about your partnership with BetterHelp

a little sad because I found this channel because of the bus project and had been hoping we'd eventually see it completed.

RIP the bus. At least now we will have 900 hp Ford Escape

Well, obviously, Shoppy McShopface. Ironically, by getting rid of the b-u-s, you now have a Big Usable Space...

Fellow ADHD afflicted here. Kudos to you for decluttering your list of things to worry about, and focusing on tasks that make you happier. Also, side note: I love the jump-cut sequences of your videos (this one, and previous) where you're creating/installing or disassembling a thing. I also love the individual projects focused-on in each of your videos, but I especially like the approach, explanation, and the editing style as mentioned. Keep them wheels rollin', sir.

The Bus Dungeon is dead, long live the Bus Dungeon! It shall be known as "The Once and Future Bus Dungeon", for in a time of great need, the Bus Dungeon will save us all. It was great getting to meet you at Open Sauce, thanks for taking the time to talk.

I mean if we're trying to cram "busless not-dungeon" into something snappy, we could always just crunch it down to "Bungeon" and do a thousand-yard stare whenever someone asks why it's called that

"Every tool is a hammer", I grant you honorary electrician status

Funny thing: The bus project was one of the reasons that got me into this channel. But I still think you made the right choice. Especially since you didn't want to have the end result anymore. Projects are a weird thing. You start out with either an idea of something you want or an item that you got by chance. I had this happen to me numerous times and I have quit on both types. The first ones are usually harder to give up on because you keep coming back to it and have started organizing stuff around the thing you do not have yet but for which you already bought components. The second ones are usually easier to give up on and I actually have stopped taking stuff because it's free. It never ends well... A few years back (probably 7 years by now) I got my hands on a free Audi TT leather driver seat. Manual seat adjustment but electrically operated back support and heating. My plan right from the start was making it into a desk chair. So I build a wooden base (that was about 200mm too high) and used it. But I never could get over the idea of having electrical heating and being able to adjust the back support. So about 4 years ago I started buying components like a 12V power supply, automatic breakers (it turns out most of the ones for your home also work with 12V DC), switches, cables aso. The idea was to build a new base made from square steel pipe and integrate a breaker board into it. But whenever I thought about it, I came up with even nicer solutions. Eventually I buried that idea and used all the home breakers for their intended purpose and bought cheap car relais and a fuse box and switch board for a caravan. That was like 50€ all in all. I build an external power supply as I didn't want a cable with 230V AC (I live in Germany) laying on the floor being moved all the time. This was also like 50 bucks. But I hit another roadblock: To control the heating you would need a heating controller. This is easy enough. They are like 20 bucks on Amazon. But they come with their own temperature sensor (and only work with that type) and I want to use the one already inside the seat as it is way more accurate and faster. But I couldn't find anywhere which kind of sensor they use. And without that knowledge I cannot buy the correct controller. We also own and wrench on a lot of cars and from time to time I stop and wonder if I should quit it all, sell everything and buy one nice and newer car. Life would be so much more simple and I'd have more time for other stuff. But then I'd end up with new and potentially even more stupid projects so what's the point :D

Dude is an absolute unit of productivity… I know these projects can be scattered over months, but it’s always so impressive to me.

As someone who bought one of the engraved bus panels, now I have an even more obscure random bit from a thing that will never get done! It's awesome

If you keep calling it bus dungeon it might drive more engagement from people being confused

I always felt like the bus project was overwhelming. I'm glad you got rid of it and in a way that it didn't just get driven to a junk yard. The new workshop looks good.

I think we are all super relieved the bus went bye bye. That thing was a stressful part of MY life just as a viewer, can't imagine how it must've been to live with.

I think "The Workshop Formerly Known as Bus Dungeon" is both great and a mouthful that would have to be said in totality every time, keeping the vibes of how tedious the bus project actually was without having it there staring at you as a reminder.

Please tell Factor that I specifically stay to watch your ad reads for them because they are hilarious.

"sponsored by Factor .." **skip** ".. raw sewage .." Ok I'm sold.

The amount of side quests you have to go through for any project 1) Reminds me of 90% of anything I have to do on my cars/house 2) But at a much larger scale. Hats off to you and your enormous patience. I love this channel 😂.

Name suggestion: "the pit shop". It implies it's in the building with a pit, not the de-pitted old shop or pitless wood shop, and also puns on "pit stop" :) (Although I'd also find it funny to keep calling it the bus dungeon in memory of the bus project, but that might be a bit confusing for new viewers)

The "Second Huge Addition (for) Wild Projects". The SHAWP. edit: if you make it "...Wild Projects Etc." it could also be SHAWPE so it sounds _fancy_. Also, if you ever fill that that super-tiny pit, I hope you do a proportionally tiny percussion edit like you did for the first pit.

You sound so happy right now. The genuine enthusiasm in your voice and this video.

I knew the bus would never happen from the beginning. Since he had no idea what he was even getting into. He just dropped the failure before admitting it.

“I know it still looks like a mess in here, but I’ve actually done quite a bit of cleaning up already”… Story of my life.

Moving on from the bus project was the right decision. Happens here in Britain all the time, every few months an old bus will pop up on eBay as an abandoned camper project because people underestimate how long it takes when combined with work, motivation and family obligations.

Workshop 2.0 Sorry to see the bus go BUT very glad to see your enthusiasm back again. As you say - The best thing for YOU ( and therefore the channel !!) Looking forward to the future episodes.

We have a separate building later planned to be used to disassemble vehicles we call the slaughterhouse. Since this will be your work space, it needs something evoking the feeling of accomplishment when you finish a project in it. The assembly bay? "The bright and shiny, get off my hiney." No, wait, how about "Bolt on bolt dome".

Please continue using "bus dungeon", it'll be forever a reference new viewers will search your channel for. And yeah, when I watched the VTrux video I thought "he gave up on the bus, and he got a new workshop in return" Good thing we got a video explaning everything

As a fellow Midwest guy with a perpetually cluttered workshop, I'm actually proud that you were able to part with the bus project. I know how hard it can be to admit you don't really need something like that lying around.

The Bus project when it started made me excited to see the final product, but your explanation for quitting makes complete sense. I can't wait to see what the next project will be!

Great to see you bit the bullet, Robert. I'm proud of you for giving up on the project. It gave me the courage to do the same and it took a gigantic boulder off of my back. Keep it going!

It's the "Graveyard", since it's where projects go and die.

I'll miss the bus, but totally understand.

I am a little sad to see the bus project gone as i was really interested to see your amazing solutions along the way but, mental health comes first and you seem way happier with the changes so I support this 100% thanks for all you do!

I feel validated watching your videos. I got into so much debt in my twenties jumping from project to project, never finishing a single one. Then I got diagnosed.

NEW PIT!!!!

I'm not upset that the bus project got cancelled, but I am sad that it didn't work out and I'm happy that you didn't fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

I agree you made the right choice. You moved on from a project you lost the spark for and got a great place to finish projects you still want to work on. I look forward to updates on the Escape project!

It'd've been cool to see the finished bus project, but as a chronic overcommitter myself, just reclaiming the space and going through a good health culling of stuff is always worth it. There's no shortage of cool things you can do in this life no need to stick to one. I don't have a clever name, but you def should put up a sign in the shop that says "no busses allowed"

Came for the bus when you acquired it, stayed for the great editing and amazing narration. Seeing you improve and sticking along for the ride definitly was worth it. Of course i'm sad to see the bus go, but i also found myself less and less invested into the bus and i knew this was just a matter of time. Also i love butter chicken. Amazing choice!

RIP to a project I loved watching when I was in high school. I know the feeling of taking on a huge project and eventually having to decide it’s not worth it years later and killing it.

Sad to see the demise of the bus project, but I fully understand your need to do what you did. I do recommend making the wall behind you in your recording area less bright. The light reflection is causing a backlighting effect, making it harder to see you and your face. (Maybe that’s a good thing?)

It's okay, we know you still like bus stuff.

I expect an entire 20-minute video on filling the pit. I doubt it will be as good as the first one, which is your masterpiece, but we can hope!

Your new workshop looks great. You made the best choose! We are happy for you..

I always appreciate the rapid powered screwing/unscrewing, and I really appreciated the pause for the sneeze!

You clearly look a lot happier now! The bus project was pretty cool for sure, but it was certainly being a huge burden on you. I'm looking forward to the new content and projects in the new workshop. Cheers!

It's OK Mr. Dunn, Bus Stuff isn't for everyone. I had to make a decision on a couple of projects myself recently. I had two motorcycles that I really enjoyed, but they were worn out to the point where I had to fix something on them every time I rode one, and I basically had two bikes I couldn't ride. I sold them both and bought something that worked, and while I sometimes miss the old bikes, I get a lot more riding done with the one I have now.

The bus and the impact driver montages are what originally got me hooked on this channel. Im glad the impact driver montages aren't going away!

It's funny because I think I subscribed after watching a few bus project videos ... and stayed because I enjoyed the content. Keep the videos coming, they're really nice and I always like to learn new things ! Can't wait to see what the next project's gonna be

"The Un-Dunn Project HQ"

A single tear rolls down my cheek as I watch the bus ride off into the sunset

Great job on the video! Thanks for making it.

I noticed and appreciate the musical magic you did when you were hammering the rebar into the jackhammered slab.

Hi i'm here thanks to the polish man you've met some time ago who tried to fix your 126p :) (though i watch your channel previously too) - on the comments of his @Zlomnik video someone pointed out the problem with the fuel pump might be not the pump itself but the cam lever that drives it - it is common for it to get worn out and then the pump has not enough stroke to feed the engine... Resulting in exactly the symptoms you've seen (works ok on slow rpm when warm abd dies when revving up) I won't translate how they described this material it is made of cause you're a family friendly channel;) but just pointing it out in case it didn't reach you yet!

I've watched the video of the pit being filled in an innumerable amount of times since mid-2020, and even I forgot about it until you mentioned it

I think you should call it "The Shop" with air quotes every time but never explain why.

good for you walking away from the bus project, sometimes our heart is larger than our reality of the situation and its hard to give up on a project but Ive washed my hands on a few projects that seemed like they would be super fun at first

Looks great! I like the busless none-geon. Also love seeing that the weight, literal and metaphorical, of the bus is off your shoulders. I've had projects weight over me before where just the thought of it is daunting and stressful, but the release of that can add a lot of enthusiasm and energy to something new. Can't wait to see what's upcoming!

Love to see the 96 bonnet still hanging out

The ingenuity and fun way of doing your videos man! I absolutely loved the "making the concrete"-clip. You're working for it I'll say!

I can feel your exitement :) Have a inspiratious time in your workshop. I hope you can ease the hurdles with yourbig EV projekt

Good on you for getting the bus out of your life. It sounds like it was (almost literally) living there rent-free and not helping things much--actually, just the opposite. And a better workspace is always helpful. I don't have any shop name ideas, but I have a name for the other building: The Cellar. You know, because the channel is called Aging Wheels, and a cellar is where you keep barrels to . . . Yeah, that one may not be ready for prime time. But I'm excited to see what you do in the new space!

I bet that sheet steel at 9:20 was bought to cover that exposed insulation

Hoorah! You did it! Congratulations and happy shopping. 👍

Congratulations!!!! The new shop area looks great!

15:03 - "I'm sure the 'feeling' part of that is temporary". Man, do I ever feel that statement. It makes me so happy seeing you happy and content as you are in this video; just knowing how similar a battle we constantly fight with ourselves to do anything, or WANT to do anything.

The bis giveth and the bus taketh eh... got taken.

I wasn't even three minutes into the video and I was already crying with laughter from your brutal honest and sarcasm :D You rock!

I did subscribe for what seemed like an unimaginably involved and complex project, BUT: you have won me over that you're interesting in a more general sense since then! Congrats on putting the bus behind you.

The downfall of this project, in MY opinion, was your decision to take all the strengthening ribbing and rivets out of the walls and replace perfectly good walls with your flat panels. I think the excessive work involved in something that brings so little return failed this. I'd slit my wrists before being able to go through that again o the other side.

I think that as your life has changed via many events since you started the bus project, you were right to part with it. I'm going through a similar phase myself and I hope I can come out of it with as positive an attitude and outcome as you.

You’re certainly not the first KZfaqr to give up on a project that people subscribed to watch, and you won’t be the last. I’m excited to watch you work in a much better space. And, though I liked it, I won’t miss the bus at all. 😊👍👍

I was thinking about your bus project the other day and I decided I was done with it… It gave me anxiety and now I am relieved! Good job!!!

Tiny pit in my garage, I know I know, it’s serious Tiny pit in my garage, I know I know, it’s really serious

It's a pretty simple suggestion, but the bus has left a large hole in both the garage and our hearts, so how about "Bussy Hole?"

It's always a chuckle to watch your videos.

"Busless bus dungeon" rolls off the tongue so much more smoothly.

As a guy with (too) many projects, I think that you did the best thing in cutting your time losses so that you will have the bandwidth and energy to conquer other projects. There's really nothing worse than a life leech of a task. May Bast look fondly upon you and your new space!

that bus project was for another time and another Robert, time and Robert have moved on to a different path, i'm really happy you turned that corner...onwards and upwards...great things to come

I am genuinely happy for you. This was an enjoyable video. I enjoyed seeing the relief on your face of de-burdening yourself from the bus. On a side note, however, who are you kidding that you won't end up getting more cars than will fit in the old shop and end up with a couple-three in there? ;-)

Well, RIP Bus. But yeah its probably a good idea, I was surprised when you said just how long the bus had been parked there, as it just felt like it was yesterday when you drove it into the shop. And damn, I remember when you first got the shop, so the pit also seems like it was just yesterday lol. Some not bus dungeon name ideas: big room, working room (compared to storage room) and white room. Yes, I am not very creative. I also had to laugh when you said you wouldnt ever permanently store vehicles in that room, my ADHD brain thinks its only a matter of time.

I totally forgot about the back part of the shop being subterranean. If you call it “busless”, you will really never be rid of the bus project, move on and call it something else… Mordor comes to mind.

Hooray, another pit! I legitimately lamented the demise of the other pit.

The “Not So Magic School Bus Anymore Dungeon”

Appreciate the realness in your content, it's like a dose of authenticity

The bus was doomed to failure when you chose to electrify it.

Yaaaay the pits back!!! Sad to see the bus go but happy you got a great shop space. Looking forward to the new shenanigans.

We can visually see you working in your mental health. It’s awesome and I’m here for it

Great job not succumb into sunk cost! It can be very difficult to let go of a project midway through, but sometimes you have to do it. Also I think the new room should be called the gutter room, but said really quickly like it's one word "gutteroom" haha

The Bus-Less Workshop.

I'm here to watch your passions and interests, I am not super tied to what exact projects you're doing. I'm here to see what you care about! Rip bus long live aging wheels

I'm not terribly surprised that you're getting rid of the bus project. After you'd don a ton of filler work on the side panels, and then scrapped it all and re-did it, I thought "wow-he's going backwards". I think that's a good decision. It looks great in there! Congratulations! I'm looking forward to the new stuff. I'm glad you're continuing on with the vehicle electrification. I find that's really interesting.

Yay for pits
