Last night's post storm sunset: Aloha:Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. Got a link to an example of the blades you use? Also, that stain was a new one i was trying, so I wanted to test it on a piece that I would look at in a few months and say, " I'm so much better than I was` when I carved that piece. Look at this ugly thing. Glad I kept practicing." So I figured I'd test it on my first "messy" hookknife piece. Kind of like a double negative makes a positive? Anyway, I do not like the stain, and am glad I didn't use it on a better piece. I was thinking of doing my next one with just clear sealer. Benzart: Today I can handle this stick: To work I go...

Sunset for the sunset fans:
I'm not one to make excuses, but I had to prep another log for my hookknife adventures. With the size of the big log, I cannot drag it into the house every evening. So, I had to spend most of my day, ironically, prepping my night project. Here is the log all ready to go: Today's progress: TikiDuddy: Yeah. Everytime i look at that little guy, I still cannot believe that it was one tool that did all that. I'm starting my second one right away. Buzzy Out! [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2006-11-15 17:11 ] |

He's looking really good! Thanks a lot for the progress pictures, it really gives me a better idea on how to start attacking a log. I had wanted to do a headress, but wasn't sure where to start. I'll have pictures soon. Any hey, where's the tuesday sunset? I was driving home last night and thought that the sunset looked really nice from where I was at, so I was looking forward to seeing an even better view. :) |

I'm taking a break to watch that world Hamburger eating contest on ESPN2. Joey Chestnut is the FUTURE of competitive eating! I cannot wait until he brings the belt back to the USA! Down with Kobayashi!!! USA! USA! Progress: One time I ate a 2 pound chili cheeseburger in 11 minutes. I had the Chili Coast Iron Man title for a couple months until this 400 pound guy came in and ate one in 8 minutes. I was a buck thirty seven, at the time, so I'd like to think that I am the Iron Man Lightweight Champion. Buzzy Out! |

Benzart: T day was cool. It's good to take a day off from red meat once a year... Sunset: Tiki Work: Early Moonset: Hiltiki: I'm about as far away from being a vegetarian as one can get. I don't eat donuts or cereal for breakfast because they don't have meat in them. When you fed me, I only considered it a snack. You didn't notice, but I went out to the car while you were mixing drinks and I took a couple of shots from a can of Dennison's No Beans All meat Chili. Kept my blood sugar and chloresteral levels at acceptable levels while I ingested the fish. Clearing the Garage Buzzy Out! |

Hey Buzzy- I've been reading through your thread and it's great. Others have mentioned this to you before, and I agree with them that your work has come a long way since that very first one. Keep it up, man! The Gods smile upon you. Were you an English teacher in your previous incarnation? |

Interesting ideas, thanks people. I was asked question about sanding. Here's the stuff I use: I start out by doing cleanup and detail carving with the dremel tool. First, I use the carving bits on the right side, and then finish with the sanding drum. I usually use a 60 grit on the drum Next I hand sand it,using a quarter sheet sanding block I start with 60 and go up to 220. I buy the big boxes because I sand a bunch of tikis at the same time I also use this electric sander a lot. It has all kinds of fancy attachments to sand at all kinds of different angles and spaces I also have a quarter sheet finishing sander and a belt sander, but I do not use those that much.

Super double sunsets, I love the detail you are getting on this tiki. Thanks for sharing the sanding and finishing tools. A reminder that 75% of the work is Sanding, Sanding, and More Sanding! Whats in the wooden box in the last pic ? |
