TIKIGIKI just what I was thinking.

Hang10tiki I need more explanation or photos of these bullet projects in use. What did you do with the lead tops?

Wendy- these are my spent rounds. First, I filled them with epoxy to hopefully cut down on the bubbles. Pour a small amount of epoxy in the silicone skull silicone mold, let it sit for just a short time, drop in the ammo, pour in the rest of the epoxy. Then I spend the next 10 or 15 minutes using heat to pop the surface bubbles. Cures in 24 hours. The fifth one is curing now, so tomorrow I will add a picture of the completed lineup.

In the meantime, this piece is finished for a thirsty friend! I’m not sure what type of wood this is, it was a leftover piece in my garage that I stumbled across, possibly Mesquite. He said his favorite color is blue, so he got the blue epoxy bottom.

And as usual, sanded to 3000 grit

You don’t mess with a skull full of bullets

Lol

If anyone was unfortunate enough to end up with a skull full of bullets, it's my bet they are then incapable of doing much at all.....

Do these have a specific function or are they purely decorative items?

[ Edited by TIKIGIKI on 2023-02-12 17:47:13 ]

No function

Just wanted to pour some epoxy in a skull

Lol

I’ll keep one, the rest to family

It's fun to see your mind working. Spent rounds from making drill bits or target time on the range?

RANGE

In case the zombie apocalypse hits town

I like the way the epoxy came out on the giant coasters, so I added black to one of mine!

Wendy- thanks for this surfboard trophy.

I rounded the edges and sanded it to 3000 grit, wow, great wood grain! Just need to stain the base. Thanks again.

You are so welcome. I pictured you carving something to attach to it. Maybe a war club cracking it in half? Are you leaving it like this?

I think so, it’ll make a nice surfing trophy for my brother. You know the trophy that got away. Lol

He surfs and you hit the range. I used to have a paper target on my wall showing I know how to aim. Good fun.

Well, he used to surf, now he’s in Pennsylvania

Lol

Got a little time in this morning

Hang10, you got some cool stuff coming out of the Tiki Factory! Enjoy!

Are those teeth marks? Your daily fiber?

Ha ha, good teeth marks, see you at the dentist.

Did I mention we had snow today???

I like your house. Kind'a looks like my place. You'll have to stop by when you're in the hood.

You shoot off all those spent cartridges?

That's so cute. I can imagine smoke coming out of the chimney.

I had an aunt who opened the first all-female gas station in California. She was in Reader Digest. They all wore white with black bow ties. I just mention her because once she thought it would be fun to sit on the patio (out in the country) and hit bullets with a hammer to shoot them off. Only one spun around and shot her in the leg. She showed me the big dent and scar when I was a kid. She also was a gold miner/prospector. Such a fun aunt. I like the coaster.

Will- ok, sounds like a plan

Wendy- wow, super aunt

Cha-ching !

I like the extra credit windows.

For starters

I like you carved the chimney into stones. Looks great stained.

Thanks you two

Palm cleaned up

Now I just have to pick out the pattern for the drum

Hmmmmmm

Drums are so cool when they have tikis or tribal designs. This is going to be fun to watch.

Wendy-

Originally, I was going to do the one with the five small tiki gods at the bottom but I wasn’t sure the wall was thick enough so I picked a different design

Fingers crossed Wendy

I know how you feel. I once went to a garage sale and bought a whole lot of paint brushes. This looks like a bunch of fun projects.

Hi Wendy :-)

Well Crud I just realized something a little late, I should not have hollowed out the bottom half of the log, I should’ve done the design work first, while chiseling today, started cracking. Oh well

02985820-31DB-4DEF-B162-C28A04816FBD

Glue n clamp n cross fingers

3A7BDBF1-6E3E-4628-9D4A-D6B6516AFD2F

A Pahu drum! So you glue the cracks with some good carpenter's glue, clamp it, and hit is again?

That’s the plan

Those are impressive clamps! This is a fun project.

Hi Wendy

Fun it is

Your lil raspy tool works good, and that finish looks out standing.

But I don't hear a thing.
