But this is the idea I gave Jamie on how to color that glass. Just did not know if you knew that Idea came from me. Was not sure till he told me it was. Small world right?

Good job, have wanted to make one forever. Is this for Matt in Fla? That guy wanted me to make this light for him forever. The fact that this post got Nuttin, zero replies speaks to TCs slow death. Ten people putting on a show that soon no one will watch, but those ten people. Too bad their used to be great stuff here on TC. I would say keep postin but why bother when posts like this get less replies than say a smoking tiki fountain.

K KAHAKA Tiki Socialite San Jose, CA Joined: Mar 03, 2003 Posts: 874	K KAHAKA Posted posted on Thu, Jan 28, 2016 6:29 PM Wow... Irony at its very best. I honestly came back to post my goodbye to Tiki Central, and now I see this. Sincere mahalos, everyone. The slow death of TC has been hard to watch. Used to enjoy coming here everyday to get away a little. We all know how it's changed, and how the Internet has changed since TC's inception. I know there's a lot of folks out there from the "old days" of TC that feel the same way. If the light of TC is still flickering, I'll come keep coming back.

K KAHAKA Tiki Socialite San Jose, CA Joined: Mar 03, 2003 Posts: 874	K KAHAKA Posted posted on Sun, May 15, 2016 1:12 PM Mahalo everybody... Hope you're all having a great weekend. I found a float at Home Goods that had a hole cut in it, but a flat glass lid had been glued on to cover the hole. I steamed the lid to heat the glue and popped it off. I shoved a 15" puffer inside, fogged the inside glass, and tied a top hoop to hang it. I finally have a lamp of my own to keep. It's been years since I've had one of my own lamps. I'm keeping it in my garage to force me to get out there and continue working! Cheers, Woody

I have maps and globes as a theme in that room. I am starting to collect globes as I would like a globe chandelier in there. I am not in a hurry, as this may take a year or so to gather the globes and draw the design. Would you be interested in doing something like this. Marlene

The top Orchids of Hawaii style lamp with the Maori tikis is for sale. PM me if you're interested! The 2nd is a style I reworked that I originally did for Forbidden Island 12 years ago. This one is going to a new bar opening in the fall. The 3rd is one we kept for our house. We haven't had one in the house for over 10 years. My wife says we can't sell this one. Ha. Cheers TC! Woody
