I basically have been hanging out on this site all weekend and gained knowledge and inspiration. Thanks for the kind words everyone , this is a great site. Wish I could hang out with everyone in reality rather than on a screen. I am not looking to make money type thing , I lost a lot of that by visiting Harbor Freight and Home Depot almost everyday. I am just looking to put smiles on peoples faces and one back on mine.
This is what I blogged on my myspace after this weekend....
Tiki Dilemma
I know a lot of you guys are liking what I am doing but to tell you the truth I am not really happy with the direction I am going at this moment. Since the Ike one where I got the closest to the traditional look I was looking for but not close enough. I have been researching pretty hard and my problem is always TIME but the material I have been using is not the best. I realize tiki's don't have any boundries and can be any size , shape , form or style. But that's the word STYLE and I am not happy with my style yet , others may be but I am not. I am learning a lot from a tiki forum I been visiting and I think I am going to take another approach to it , which means practice and slowing down. I am going to experiment with softer woods , which means Cheap Ass Scotty will be spending money and not looking for a construction sites on the side of the road for free wood. I want to do some panel work with patterns and design. I think that will help my approach. Maybe smaller subjects on the tikihed's as well. If you are on my waiting list please bear with me and thanks for your patience. I have to find what I am looking for to make it even better for you.

Thanks Scotty
