New Ku Tiki bar for Viva Las Vegas Weekender in April. Here it is on the trailer at foamer Kent's "Ranch house," up in the hills of east San Jose. Tiki in this state is a wooden frame, surrounded with chicken wire, and black felt. About 1 year's worth of work (off and on) put in by Nacho. The tiki measures about 18ft. tall, 8ft. wide, 10ft. deep (minus foam).

Good Old Kent riggin' up the foam rig.

Progress!

Nacho foams:

BREAK @ Kent's thoroughly insulated keg-o-rator

Decided to stand it up:

Still more foaming to do (we ran poor Kent out... he thinks we probably put a good 200 lbs. of foam on it), then Nacho will carve it, paint it, finish it. I'll be doing up the inside with some help, hopefully. Lots more work to do before Vegas!
