Been getting a lot of questions about lights lately. (Thank you Amy)
I know this is not the Tiki Marketplace, but I do just tell people
to look here and see if there is one they like.
So I have put SOLD on the bottom of the ones that are gone so you
will know if you can get that one or not.
Sometimes I can make the same light over and over.Sometimes not.
Plus if you see a style you like I can do a custom light for you.
Kinda backed up right now but will get to those as fast as I can.
Plus I got a few going on Ebay on Monday. 6/8/09
I start my Ebay sales on Monday.
Thanks again!!!

Thanks Wildsville!
Got a lot more lights coming this summer.
Here is a pic of our new garden gate.
More nautical than tiki I guess.

D R I N K M O R E O V A L T I N E!
"A commercial that was the measage from Annie! a stupid commercial"
Ok I guess I should have put that here insetad of in general tiki.
The mesage was save your Ron Z bottles.
I could show you all step by step how to make these lights.
But then who would I sell lights to?
"well Skip not everyone would want to make their own lights"
"THEY would buy your lights"
True, but sure as the sun is going to come up tomorrow some guy or girl
will start making the very lights I show people how to make and THEY
would become my bigest competition.
Plus I would not have the money to buy cool glass ring saws.
Here's how I cut the glass.
And the light.

That rum company should hire you to make these lamps from their bottles - a promotional give-away or something like that. VERY cool. Too bad Sailor Jerry's bottles have the paper wrapper instead of the screened print on the glass - THAT would be a really cool lamp too!

Hey Bead that is a good idea!
Both of them I'm going to work on a Sailor Jerry version.
And Amy thanks! Hope to see you soon.
Well I did it, I got a hole in one of those cheap chinese
floats. (It was a large float, but very thin glass)
Had to go VERY slow, and still got a few small cracks.
As you can see I coated the inside of the globe with resin
in hopes that this would keep it from breaking more.
Last photos are of the tool I used to put hole in globe.

Thank you Wentiki for giving me this globe.
I say to heck with glass. Get plastic if you can.
