I drew out a few things in pencil and then fashioned a jig for a router.
I wanted to try and save some things so the interior design would retain the flow as originally designed. This wall I am routering through is a full 1inch thick and it is laminated on both sides. I wanted a clean cut no chips either side and without burning the laminate.
My newest best friend Sawdust coached me, Thanks Eddie.

I plowed out a cavity on the top and down the side for rope lighting behind smoked glass to match what is between the windows on the rest of the bus. It will be enclosed with laminated bull nose I have removed and will recycle.

This leading edge I have exposed will be laminated with a match to the existing.
