Happy New Year all!

Hopefully I'll have more to show this year, but until I do here's a few things I did to wrap up last year

I carved a pair of masks for the Tonga Hut remodel. Here's one a little bit before it was finished:

And now installed under the bar(all the Tonga Hut pictures were taken by other people, I borrowed them from other TC threads):

I never got a picture of the other one, but it looks like a tiki and kind of the same as the other one but with a little bit different features.

I also painted the front of the bar green:

I installed a bamboo fence behind the fountain:

I put up the wall on the left side of the photo:

And then my biggest part of the project` was making all the benches. Here's the one by the fireplace:

Another one along the other wall:

And a matching portable one:

The dark shadows below the cushions are my work:

Mojave Crew did a kick ass job on the fireplace and rock wall between the benches.

People had such a good time sitting down at the Tonga Hut, they asked me to do another portable bench for New Year's Eve. Here's an in progress shot

It was the first project I did in my new workshop!

We're converting the old horse stalls into usable space. I took over one as a woodshop/work area after they cemented it in:

It's 12' x 12'.

I've already started ordering tools to fill it up with:

I'm using another room for log storage:

The log wall:

In other news, one of my bigest fans came out to Las Vegas to see me:

I took him to Frankie's and showed him a good time:

If you're ever at Frankie's and some chick asks if you want to see her light her titties on fire, say, "Yes!"

After that, I brought the Benzarts out to Mojave Oasis for a quick stay and I bought this piece off of him:

Benzart #147. Now I actually have a Benzart "collection!"

I never took photos of the finished plane, but here are a few right before it was done:

The wing got painted, a motor, pilot and propeller were added after this

It was all hand painted, both sides. I did a crap load of these flowers all over it

Tribute to the original Lake Loreen Tiki Bird

And other than that, I got a gun a while back and I've been doing a lot of shooting. So much,in fact, that I built a shooting range on the property:

I'm using my resin seconds as targets. Half the days now, I fire off a few rounds before I even get dressed. Zaya bought me a camo set of pajamas and calls them my "shootin jammies." Sometimes i'll even pop off a couple rounds before I get out bed in the morning. That's when you really need shootin' jammies...

Until next time,
Buzzy Out!
