Thanks Buzz,

You probably have the largest stock of red-tinted stain on the West Coast. The one we ended up picking was Red Chestnut, which looks just great mixed with Jacobean (an almost black, very transparent stain) for the dark parts. I think I'll hit it once again with Dark Chestnut in the nooks & crannies.

Sorry for my little OkiDoki soaking up 3 1/2 pints of it. A thirsty little rascal.

It was fun visiting the House of Buzz in person, kind of like the difference between seeing a picture of a space shuttle launch and being right there. Buzzy kept wandering in and out, wheeling and dealing on the phone and Ebay. Chips everywhere. A wall of stain and varnish. Elvis Cds. You know.

Next time I'll take some shots of the new Tiki Palace wall. Apparently he spent less than 3 bucks on everything you see there, dang!

Cammo OUT from the FUMES.

Still staining, 4WD. Got a problem making the face white; Minwax "Pickled Oak", their whitest stain, just doesn't work. Fan palm is not what it was designed for, shall we say.
Will try a test with thinned-down white paint, but I wanna finish it with that Zizzner Amber Shellac, and it may not work. That's what's fun with this Tiki stuff; crazy combinations of crap. On the Shellac can it says not to sand between coats, but that's exactly what I'm gonna do in spades.

Anyway, OkiDoki is lookin' way better after GETTING BUZZED.

Thanks Kate! I'll probably need them in the coming couple of months. it's been cloudy every night, with barely a sliver of sun. A couple years ago, it stayed like this all the way through July. I might have to feature other sunsets while mine are hiding

Speaking of sunsets
Yesterday the clouds broke for a couple minutes at sunset:

This would usually indicate that for a couple hundred years, the Indians used this spot to harvest seafood, and found an abundance of shellfish there to eat. That many shells is usually evidence that there was a well established permanent or seasonal Indian village there with a sizable community at some period in historical times. The shells are refered to as midden(trash), and there were obviously a lot shells harvested there for food over a long period of time. This was still a pretty desolate part of baja, so people have not taken all the shells yet. If they pave the road out there, the shells probably wouldn't last more than a year.
I've seen a few spots like this up and down the coast of baja, but this one was the most extensive and undisturbed that I have seen so far.

Most of you guys didn't even know I had carpet until I cleaned up a couple weeks ago...
It came with the house.

I got a double dose of our government yesterday: the DMV and the Post Office. The only thing more inefficient is a Mexican Bank. I was inspired to do nothing after those visits.

I still love my country though! And my wall to wall carpet. And my new coffee table. And my dog...

Found this mint condition La-Z-Boy chair on Ebay. I outbid Bamboozled Ben, BigBigBigBroTiki, and FootballTiki for it. Will trade Zinznzer Amber Shellac for it.

It matches your coffee table perfectly;

Today's lack of sunset:

Babalu: You could just have the logs, but if you're donating the camera for the good of the tiki nation, then Deal!
Cammo: That might be a Witco chair, actually. Nice score!

Sometimes I wish I wasn't known as just Buzzy. Sometimes I wish I had chosen Tiki________(insert cool tiki guy name in blank)for my name. I cannot call myself Tiki Buzzy, or Buzzy Tiki, because both of those sound stupid to me. The reason I was thinking about this was because I was hanging out and talking with Tiki Dan and Tiki Sol and I realized that I was the only guy there without Tiki in his name. Then I thought what kind of tiki guy am I without tiki in my name? It seemed like I had no credibilty because I didn't have a tiki name, or rather, a real tiki guy name.

I took my show on "the road" today:

Barely got anything done, though

It wasn't "the road", but it looked like the road from my view

I can almost see my house on the hill behind the wall, over to the left. If you can see the one with the tikis in the yard, that's my house!

Buzzy Out!

Babalu posted on 05/03/2007

MB,

Yes, yes, thank you...Babalu has mucho ideas, and only a few rotten - green logs in the arsenal.

Not sure if Buzzy can use, but I was was given a "one size fits all" hat by a guy who lived down the street, under the bridge for a spell. As we sat in the shade together one day, watching the cars go by, having a sack lunch...he handed over the hat and said that it possessed "certain magical island powers"? He gave this hat to me when we parted, and told me that someday it's purpose would become clear to me. I cleaned it up, and sat it on a shelf...lately, I've been getting this strange feeling that it needs to be passed on...

So, whether it gets used, or ends up on a shelf at AM Vets...I would like to humbly donate it to the good of the Tiki Nation too.

Let's PM...

You have the rest of your life to answer this question.

Everyone present gets an A today. Tomorrow too...
Class is cancelled if it rains.

Oh yeah, all I'm doing tikiwise is sanding the big fence tiki. I forgot to take a picture of it. I'll describe it though: It looks the same, but smooth now. Not smooth all over. But smooth in a lot of parts. It looks whiter too. But still dark in the rough spots.

I spent a litle time since last update refining the body. I've still been having trouble with arms, but after it was too late, I think I finally figured out the adjustment I need to make. You will not see what I learned on this tiki, on this tiki, but you will see it on every tiki I carve after this one. And those are the important ones, because this one is just for practice. I think I've said that about them all...
Got the face edges all drawn up and I'm going to hit it after I get something to eat. I feel like having In n Out. It's late, so since I shouldn't be eating, I'll have them hold the lettuce on my two cheeseburgers.

Hiltiki: First of all, I always have been, and always will be, a real man. Secondly, there is no such thing as a "tiki man." There is only the Tiki Guy, which I am not yet one of. It takes more than shirts and decor to become a true tiki guy. As for changing my decor, I didn't change anything. Before, I had no decor. Or furniture. I finally have something to decorate with. Finally, those finds, it's more like inventory. And as I kind of explained in finds, I believe that male humans are genetically predisposed to hunting and gathering, but modern conveniences have made these inherent skills unecessary. Finding those things are me just expressing my natural urges, in my most primal and natural fashion.
My music of choice is talk radio: Traffic and news every ten minutes, sports at 47 and 17 minutes after the hour.
I gave all my hawaiian shirts to amvets when Homer got that Hawaiian shirt.

In and Wait and Finally Out Buzzy Out!

You should try carving with the ngle grinder. You production time will shrivel. I will rough out my shapes with the grinder and finish with chisels and sanding. the bad part is those sandingpads don't last very long. AND it is a very dirty process - you won't be doing it in your living room - maybe?

because i didn't want it to rub on the lower parts of the tool marks.

I saw Cammo do something like this with his okidoki tiki and thought I might try it some day.
Today is that day.

I also finished sanding the fence post:

and I stained the chair he is sitting on

Now all I have to do is cut a bunch of pieces of bamboo down 12" and stain him.

That's it for now.

Great shots Buzzy!

The little guy looks great, I hope he can find work somewhere someday.

When do you think you'll have the fence ready?

I take no credit whatsoever for that sand-after-staining technique. It's like a 3000 year old German woodcarving trick from the Olde Countrie. One thing I noticed is you can just sand the places you want, like outside edges and tops, subtly defining the shapes more.

Hit that thing with watered down Zisnznzzer Amber Shellac now, and the thing will look like it's from 1933. You could sell it to Genuine Handicrafts Musem in Balboa Park for 3 large.

Catalina is burning right now, so we have a smoke enhanced sunset:

Tornhalo: I have to cut all of these (and a bunch more you cant see) a little shorter...

that's it.

The most important part was finishing the corner piece. Which I did today:

And I stained this guy too:

I want to try and carve something big now. Haven't done a big piece in a while.

Stay tuned for video news...
Buzzy Out!

That sunset is the best yet, Maybe I can start a tire fire here or something to get one like that. The big guy looks great, and I think the little guy is my favorite so far. I can't wait for hurrican season to get into full swing so I can go down south and pick up some logs!!

(not that I wish doom and gloom on any of my southen neighbors.. just on their trees!)

I would like to thank the following people, because if they hadn't done everything, none of this would have been possible:
Film and Narration by Babalu
Button Pushing by Professor Robot
Music by Pufferfish

I hope you enjoyed that.

I laughed so hard it scared the dog, and he nipped me on the hand.

Wait a minute... I'm getting a vision! (The loss of blood must have awakened my latent fortune telling powers) I see Buzzy TV picked up by HGTV, Buzz becomes the next Rachel Rae, earning bazillions of dollars, Earning an army of fans.. BUT WAIT! DARKNESS!! People begin to accuse him of being a sell-out.. Hundreds of thousands of people turn on our hero and begin to form "We hate the Buzzy show" hate-clubs.. Death threats, Palm trees everywhere are spiked.. firebombed log piles, Tikis are crucified and chainsawed all around the world.. a giant sailcloth is erected next to the house so the sunsets can no longer be seen.. Chisels are outlawed! Rum is taken off the shelves!

the horror.. the horror..

Well screw them. I'll still watch.

After I go get a band-aid.
