Great to see your hard work starting to pay off Jeff!

P

yeah, these media things come and go.

P

Congrats! Fame and fortune are your play things. Can I borrow some money now?

awesome tiki bar,

P

thanks bro... had a fridge, outlets, a sink, the whole 9 yards....

so the sunset tiki party was cool.... sold a few things, hooked up with a new chick, and may have cleared the way for a deal for my wedding tikis at the post card inn, so I'd say it was a success...

next stop, the hukilau...

P

2 weekends in a row of non-stop drinking and tiki madness, and I feel about as shot-out as a rusty cannoball...

I am so ready to just go home, hug my dog, and lay on the couch for like 2 days...

Ahhhhh, The life of a tiki fanatic!

:drink:

P

ok boys, here they are...

hukilau pics....

GREAT PIC! Basement Kahuna, Benzart, some loud French dude from Tampa, WillCarve AlohaStation and some dude that photo-bombed that pic! Who could it be, anyone recognize him?

I second that emotion, a fantastic grouping of carvers Jeff!

Looks like you've been busy bro , hopefully one day I'll get to the Mai Kai . I imagine it must be pretty motivating hang'n out with so many talented
tiki artists , I'm pretty much on my own down here.

P

A humbling experience for sure...lol..

Campbell, if you ever get to this side of the pond, there's a futon at my house with your name on it...

So yeah, one of my old surf buddies works for a dude who is kinda trying to build a tiki bar, and asked if I'd come help.....and well, in my normal fashion, I kinda took over... but the boss is way stoked on my ideas, so the LOW BUDGET SURF SOUL TIKI BAR is underway....

P

Put the first 2x4 up...

before...

after...

P

moai'd support beam for the lo budgey tiki bar....

P

so this guy is done too....

P

so, a good friend of mine that I've known almost 30 years was killed tragically in an elevator accident a few months ago. This is his son Ethan. He's a good kid, he's out of school, and doesn't have a lot to do, so he's gonna start coming over & helpin' out some...make a few tikis. His dad really loved my stuff, so I think he'd be stoked about this arrangement...

and I'm back on the big lono...

You need a real mallet!

P

you mean mine is fake!

damn those bastards at home depot!!!

P

Cedar mega-score..

one of 'em is 7 ft... I think I'll make a shark out of it,...

Great seeing you both at Hukilau !!

LOL Is that a dead blow hammer? Probably works fine. I like my poly hammers better though - harder to strike your hand with those!

P

yep,...dead blow.

and yeah, every time I think about spending 80 bucks on a mallet I just end up buying a new chisel instead...

we're really just a bunch of dressed up savages....

P

I heard that...I carved my first mallet out of a piece of cottonwood...kind of wish I would have saved it. Probably got a bigger return on that carve than all the others.

Looking forward to another Cedar shark...keep it rolling man.

Grab a chunk of wood and make one!! Doesn't need to be round, just hard and heavy (or light, or in between)! I use the 20oz urethane mallet myself, but have made others for more specific uses.

You guys made me think about and actually look at the mallets I use. You can tell where the sweet spots are.
