Hi All, I haven't been here in the last 10 years or so but have still been collecting. I'm now ready to start building my tiki bar. It started yesterday with the demo of my basement, all the way down to the brick and limestone. I'll be posting my progress here and look forward to any comments good or bad. Day 1 |

No work done in the basement yesterday. Discovered an unused gas line and didn't have the correct tools at home to move it. I made this light instead. |

Interesting space, can’t wait to see how it looks after cleanup. Lamps look great, how did you make them? |

I didn't take pictures when I was making the lamps. Here's the finished 2nd one. I've only had 2 days to really work on the bar, updated picture.

Nice lamp. Are the tiles made from ceramic? |

The tiles are made from foam. I made one and took it to a ceramics place. It was expensive, $40 each, and would've taken them 2 months to make 10 tiles. I made the tiles in 6 hours and 6 hours to put it together. It cost about $30. |

I bought a few jade tiles from Tampa about six weeks ago and they've been sitting on my desk. Couple days ago I'm sitting at my desk and I see something out of the corner of my eye run behind some papers, I move them and it jumps up and into the little hole at the end of the tile. I got it out of the tile and into my kitchen sink. My best guess is it was inside one of the tiles and got a free ride from FedEx to Chicago, from Tampa. It's about six inches long. I caught it and took it to a pet store nearby. [ Edited by TikiFan on 2023-10-08 22:04:44 ] |
