Buuuzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! Were are you Buddy???

Yo Freddie! A lot of stuff was going around here as usual. But first, a tragedy: My trusty old Sony Mavica MVC-FD90 camera finally died on me several days ago. I tried to use a emergency MVC-FD83 that Clysdalle gave to me in the meantime, but I found this earlier model to be insufficient for my photo needs.(I'm further saddened that Clysdalle never got to realize the true Mavica experience with his FD-83. He should have waited a couple years for the FD-90.) So, I was waiting to post again until I got a suitable replacement. Fortunately, a near mint Sony Mavica MVC FD-90 was located, secured, and delivered to me this weekend. It even has the original stickers on it, just like my old one. I'm so happy!

In other factory news:
It was a good time for the camera to go down this week because I was just sanding all the chairs I've already posted. Non sanding related work:

I started by shaping the ass on the Big Ass tiki chair:

And I finished the front of the last Hawaiian one:

After much sanding, I took the chairs into the garage and started staining them:

Most of them are all finished now, a couple need one or two more coats of sealer.

I have also been busy finding uses for all that thatch I got a couple weeks ago.

I covered my popup with a big piece of round thatch and cut it to fit(on the right). I put the scraps on the porch right outside my back door and enclosed it with bamboo fencing(on the left). Then I made a 6 x 10' hut right outside the back garage door. (in the middle, way in the back )Here are some shots of the action, taken with the FD-83:
Stepping out the back garage door into the new thatch room. Bamboo fencing to make it an enclosed room coming soon:

Stepping out my backdoor into the porch hut, looking towards the work area:

Buzzy, great stuff. thanks for showing up at the TV station and doing the Tiki Oasis show at 7 am on the Friday after Bali Hai! You are a strong man.

No problem Otto! In addition to my physical strength, I am also frequently noted for my rugged handsomeness as well.

My greatest strength is my sense of compassion for my fellow man...

Great chairs!!
Your subject is ten pages old though!! :D :wink:
If you could rename your subject heading "Erik wanted to see a new subject, like ""the 12 apostles' chairs"" or something" that would be great.

I'm still working on that journal....kinda. I'll change the thread to "Frankie's Chairs" after I photo the finished ones tomorrow.

Moss told me I could say the chairs are for his super secret new Tiki bar named Frankie's opening soon in Las Vegas.

It sure dooes get dark early these days...
Buzzy Out!
