But I do swing by to lurk, and still create tiki when the mood strikes! For several years, I've had an idea kicking around to build a PNG Drum Lamp truer to form... So here it is... 3 ft tall, 9" diameter. Crocodile Kundu Lamp ~Skully [ Edited by: Capt'n Skully 2015-03-17 10:27 ]

You always were a very creative guy. Wanted to go to the opening of you and Lena's art show but.... Well you know, we will try to make it before it closes for sure. Great to see you back on TC and Makin Tiki art! Don't stop now.

Didn't mention previously, but the light color can be changed with its remote controlled LEDs... Draws a max of 20w at full intensity. Here's a quick test to see a few possible color variations from over 16 choices and other functions- from the same 2 bulbs.

You lost me with the colors. Just me, but then I don't even like to see Blowfish lights with colored lights in them.

CS Capt'n Skully Member The Lost Lagoon Joined: May 28, 2005 Posts: 418	CS Capt'n Skully Posted posted on Thu, Apr 9, 2015 8:12 PM Thanks all! Wow Skip! Thanks for taking all the nice pics and the appreciation!! Glad you were able to make it to the show - It was great seeing you and Barb again, and talking tiki with you too. We had lots and lots of compliments on all the lamps, but talking with someone who really understands the theme and what it takes to actually produce them was a real treat. More soon.. And I'll get a few shots of my Kahiki Lamp for you. Now that the lamp is back in my hands, I'm looking forward to addressing and adding a couple more details to finalize it... ~Skully [ Edited by: Capt'n Skully 2015-04-09 20:13 ]
