Hang10Tiki stuff

W- on my days off

Stocked up on some wood today:

Old age lines? I like that collar. Ohhhhhhhh all that wood for projects. Did you get a bargain?

Wendy- I prefer smile lines

Lol

Yup, Picked all that up for 100.00

Lil more today:

Ha ha, I'm fighting those lines. He has personality. Is he a relative?

Great deal on the wood. So many future projects.

I wish he was a relative

Lol

Ear joinery and base detail next

Luke,is he your father?

Will- “Do or do not. There is no try.”

Heard a chainsaw I thought I did

Yup:

3 pieces of pine I have

Wow, your are going to carve some really big tiki or something else?

Aloha Wendy, not sure, I assume this Pine will take forever to dry

🤷🏼‍♂️

According to my calculations, 80,170 and 200 lbs, but man does it feel like more!!!

That or I need to start working out again, lol.

Maybe I just need a Will crane. 😆

Nice logs! The pine could sit for a month or 2 or4 but won't need to dry out that much. It won't change much. Can't wait to see what you'll do in it. Remember it goes thru to the other side.

Will- ok, thanks, it sure is sappy

Yodas hut:

The base will resemble it, I hope 🤷🏼‍♂️

What are you holding onto? Will it screw into something like a walking stick?

W- a carving screw

Ya screw it into the bottom of a carving

I Put a hole in my workbench so I can secure the carving to my bench to work on it

More on the base, vines on the tree

Gotta go, Steelers on

Ok

🏈

Maybe next week

Time for a Mango 🥭 kolada

Really impressive. Did you mention what type of wood that is?

Aloha BW- bass wood

Glad u like it so far

Base and sanding, sanding, sanding

What’s missing

Hmmm 🤔

Ear time

Ears blocked out on the bandsaw

WILL start carving them tomorrow

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh it's Yoda! So obvious now. He's going to be darling.

Wendy- Lol

Yoda!

Hi Mike

Lil more ear work this am:

Another wood score today:

What would make that would score even better?

Bamm

Wonderful Yoda.

Did a carver retire? That's a great score of wood including the boat front. Will she go into your tiki room?

You can do anything, and I'll be watching.

Aloha Wendy, yes, it was nice to retrieve someone’s leftovers. I will put them to good use. And yes, the lady carving will eventually make it to the tiki bar once I clean it up.

Cheers

All cool information.

Ok

Had to make the hut doorway bigger, so the star of the show could fit in his doorway

Next making the head wrinkles deeper

So cool Jon!

Thanks Mike

Little more detailing, lots of the sanding, then more sanding, then a little interior decorating on the inside of the hut!

I placed it on a lamp to see if the window was big enough and would be able to pick up the light

Remote control Flickering tea light gets delivered tomorrow.

Next, it’s time to find an airbrush and pick up some green paint

😆

The tea lights arrived at 5am, very pleased with the flickering color. I can imagine Yoda sitting by the fireplace inside his house enjoying his dinner!

😆

Picked up the primer.

Primer on.

Next is to get an airbrush, and maybe some practice before I ruin this thing

😝

WOWOWOWOWOW that's so wonderful. I'm anxious for the ears to go on. The light effect brings it to life.

Such a cool and unique project!

Thanks guys. Fun one, hope the painting goes ok

In the meantime…

I was moving some stuff around in the garage and look what rolled on the floor

Hmm 🤔

Noooooooooooooo

Ok. Tiny joinery

I’ll let the glue dry then pull out the red and white paint for my 1st Santa ornament

Lol

Well done repair. Your Santa looks like the Grinch so no presents for you!!!

W- lol

Found a cypress knee today

Future carving:

Wife getting ready for Halloween:

Who knew you could finish a project with 3 drops of paint and 2 drops of water

😂

I'm like'n your Santee. What will you think of next ??? careful.

Will- good one

U up early sir

Are you done with the big painting project so u can get back to wowing us?

Well, we’re waiting…

Cute cute cute. Just darling projects. So much fun to see. Keep them coming.

Thanks W

Gloss on

So the walking stick branch I hooked onto the 2 x 4 to try and straighten it a bit is dry, it helped a little, so, sanding with a rasp all morning, then I started grinding out some of the knot holes in the top for extra credit

A friend of mine was selling his bandsaw, got it

[ Edited by hang10tiki on 2023-09-24 14:40:41 ]

That was a cool idea. Now you need a snake to crawl through all the holes.

😆

Golf tee? Oh good Lord! I couldn't even see that, let alone carve it! Turned out great! The cypress knee should be interesting. What type of grain do they have?
