eh, Isaac barely affected us...and there are couple of storms churning in the Atlantic, so the waves on the east side should be epic by tuesday or wednesday...
I've been kinda slow with work this week but I'm cutting down a big dead palm on sunday so I'll have some stuff to play with...I ran out of material this week and it's been frustrating...

yeah Andy I've been super lazy this week and didn't get anything done...
and Nixxy? where the hell have you been hidin' out bro??? get yer head back in the game son!
So yeah, I gotta get back on top of things this week....Lately I've been getting commissions for tikis from a completely different sector that I never really expected and I kinda feel like I may have stumbled over a gold mine. I'm looking at all this and I'm kinda getting geared up to pursue this little "niche" in the tiki biz that may just become my "bread and butter" production gig here soon...which is awesome because I really, really, really just want to sell tikis and not get a real job.
but yeah Andy, I'll be heading out there by tues or weds....I think it's gonna be reeeeaaaally good this week...not too big of a system so the waves won't be like, monstrous or anything....probably a few feet overhead, glassy, etc...and the sandbars aren't all troughed out from big swells...so yeah, I'll be there...

so I really like this little "jawhorse" I bought.
Has a locking foot operated vice to hold things in place. Works great..

well, since I have so many hours into this damned thing I figure I might as well keep on it & try to make it my "masterpiece for now"...
so I am going back over the whole thing and "tool-marking" it...
I seriously need help...

yeah it works great for tiki-ing. AND, it's quite thick and heavy, which sucks if you want to carry it around a lot like I do, but it's awesome for keeping things nice and still & secure with a very heavy log squeezed in there. It has like a 400 or 500 lb capacity.
It'a a solid unit, I'm glad I bought it, and I'd definitely recommend it.
