I looked at the space and saw that my patio does this round thing as it meets the grass. It occurred to me to do a retro, round tub jacuzzi surround (but tikified)! So this is the beginning of framing it out... Cutting the boards to make the circle that will surround it. Beginning of framing it out… And totally framed with a blurry Astro in the foreground. There will be red rope lighting in the opening, under the thing there… It'll be like this glowing, floating, tribal cauldron thing… There will be a round burned and wire brushed deck on top of the boards there too... Then, I got to carving… FIFTY, yeah, fifty of these panels to face the surround. After some burning and wire brushing, this is a quick mock-up of how I'm going to lay them up. I'm about 3/4 of the way through burning and brushing the fifty panels… It's long, dirty, tedious work… Should be cool when it's all done though! Stay tuned!
