Today's sunset:

There are the "two trees" from the first contest. That means "sunsets on the ocean" season is upon us and all the nice stormy sunsets are coming soon. And, if that wasn't enough to look forward to, It's Fire Season!

It's awful crowded around here with all these damn chairs!

I finally have these finished. Now to get rid of them so I can have enough room to get the next batch in here and finished...

I finally figured why you are doing so many So you can sit down on the job and call it work.

That reminds me: I can't wait for a long winter of on the couch carving little crap while watching some TV! Now that's living! I mean work! the lines are blurred. I need to sit down and think about it.

In other tiki product news:

Looks like my first three mugs made it through the first firing. They're in there somewhere. Now I just have to wait for Cammo to finish his glaze samples and I can go a glazin'
Read about the wonderful world of ceramics here on Babalu's thread.

I like how you stain next to the gas water heater. " Living on the Edge!!"

Do you have a picture of the 16' er we're doing for the A-frame entry??

I use the "many fans right behind my ear to blow the fumes out the always open door" safety method.

Based upon the high wind vortex I can create with two 16" fans cranked up and the very small workspace I have, I can make the following safety comparision:

Imagine you are driving in a Chevy Surburban that is ten feet high and you are smoking a cigarette. All the windows, including the large back one, are rolled down, and you are driving at a constant speed of 60 mph. In the back of the Surburban, I am putting stain on a tiki. Do you think that your cigarette, under these conditions, would ignite the interior in an explosive inferno? Probably not. And I feel much safer doing it this way in the garage because your smoking while driving is distracted driving and IS NOT SAFE! Therefore, I can logically conclude that I am using the safest method available.

THE 16' entry way tiki? WTF? I thought I was supposed to do 4! Well, at least I have some spare carved 16 footers lying around. Know anyone who needs a few? Wow, now I know why he freaked out that my bid was so high. At least he paid!

If my water heater explodes and catches fire, then the chairs will burn up and I can start all over again!
Buzzy Out!
