Going to show some not so Tiki items before then show

So what would you do?
How could you make this into a Tiki bar light that would work well
in your bar?

Ok, right or wrong here it is.
This is what I did to Tikify this light.
PS the cord looks like in this photo that it comes out on the left.
But that is the cord to light in the background.
The cord for this light goes up the sides and in through the chain.
All tucked in nice and neat.

Great Skip. Looks Tiki to me. Is the base covered in shellaced burlap?

T
tikiskip posted on 02/27/2014

Thanks all,
And Tiki Shark I don't do these often as buying the light and then putting
even more money into the light it can add up fast.
But I always look for light parts everywhere I go.

It costs less to make one totally out of rattan really.

With this light it was hard to get the sizing right as the top and bottom
of the globe has threads.
So this made matching the holes in the shade and the side handles kinda tricky
to get even.

And Mike, it is made of cork, so no burlap.

more to come....

Here's a short Tikiskip how to.
And I know these are not tiki but more things that would
go well with your tiki bar or Luau, Hawaiian and or tropical décor.

Here's our mailbox, not too tiki but for the Bosko sign (not shown)
It had one of those turned ball things before.
Just add Fisherman tiki.

Granted nothing really brilliant but it's an idea you may be able to
use at your home.

tikiskip posted on 06/13/2014

Thanks TikiAno! I just look at things with a Bamboo and Cork eye.
It's fun to make things that you can't even buy anywhere and to say I made that
when people ask where you got it.
Here are just a few utensils I have made in the past, have sold a lot of them, these are the ones
that are left.

What is this? and What will it be?
I can tell you it cost me one dollar.
Stay tuned.....

Garage sale season is here, and you got all of those utensils you made with Wangi Bamboo
from Frank's Cane and Rush supply....

So you may find Bongos, not hugely tiki but they fit in with the tiki tropical
vibe.
Here's what I do with em, take out the middle bolt that holds them together, then flip them.
It's that easy, I know you can do it.

That's fantastic tikiskip. It's great to see how your mind works how you can look at something such as that simple globe and shade and then modify it to make it, not just tiki, but also more interesting. I look forward to seeing how that ends up.

Yeah that is the idea, this is kinda how the light will look.
I still need to make what I call rattan staples for the light.

And thanks again all.

Found a fixture for the Tapa shade on the last page.
But heck the way tiki is going I may sell this one as a Davy Crockett lamp after all.

Side note I saw a light like this on Eddie Haskells bedroom wall.

Theodore Cleaver: Yeah, I never smelled a real skunk before.
Eddie Haskell: Aw, that's kid stuff.
Wally Cleaver: Maybe. What are you gonna do, Eddie?
Eddie Haskell: Oh, I don't know. I might go over and see my girl. Want to come along?
Theodore Cleaver: I'd rather smell a skunk.

Aloha, Mahalo, Ohana.

That's definitely an improvement!
I'm not saying I don't like the Davy Crockett lampshade, it just doesn't go well with a ships wheel wall sconce.

T
tikiskip posted on 02/05/2016

Thanx all.
A Gilligan shade would be cool but may not fit in my room.

"Davy Crockett lampshade, it just doesn't go well with a ships wheel wall sconce."
True I found it that way, not sure I'm In love with it on the Tapa shade.

Here is another shade that I added the lashing stuff on the bottom.
I think it helps make it look better more tiki, sure will help hold on Tapa as well.

Before no lashing....

After with lashing...

Ha! there are many things I started and did not finish.
Was going to just remake that in bamboo.

It is a holder for those fondue type forks.

Damn if it ever gets warm I can get outside and start some projects.
But then more and more that means fix the house.

Need an inside workshop for the winter months that anymore are 3/4s of the year it seems.

Ohio sucks!
