I have been driving down to Taree in NSW lately to work on my car and its freezing down there - doesnt stay cold too long when your working around the welder though. The Buick is so close to being finished now I can almost smell that final coat of paint! Cant wait to drive her home. its been a long voyage and if I ever even think about building another custom my wife will have me put away!

Thats a long drive! Having said that, seeing the quality of work that comes out of the shop, it's all worth it.

Thanks for all the positive feedback as always your kind words are a inspiration to keep carving.

A very exciting thing has occurred, I have made the decision to take two years off from travelling to Hawaii (due to the financial situation over there developments have almost stopped) and now have the time to create pieces for Gallery shows here in Australia and overseas and finally, can organize the workshops on carving, that I have been asked about over the last five years, here in Australia and overseas. I will still be travelling to the States to attend shows that Im involved in and Hawaii for fun!
I will be starting these workshops in Brisbane in August 2010. Beginners workshops commencing Saturday 7 August 10am – 2pm there will be four of these Workshops on each Saturday of August. It will basically be the same lesson each week, so if you want to attend just one that’s fine – or you can attend as many as you feel you need before moving onto Intermediate workshop.
Intermediate Workshop will be held in September it will be a more structured lesson – refining techniques, using different tools to obtain different effects and then we will talk about staining and other techniques used to finish off the carvings.
Then if there is a demand I will hold Advanced Workshop group to explore other types of carvings.
Beginners Workshop costs will include everything you need to get started.
If you live interstate and you are interested in attending please contact me we can assist you with accommodation in the area. If I get enough enquiries from other states I will take the Workshop on the road, so talk to your mates and get a group together I will need at least 8 people per workshop to make it worth packing the tools and hitting the road – I can do a two day workshop interstate. For overseas people - if you can get a group together I will make the journey!
If you are interested in attending these workshops please email me at Tikibeat@bigpond.com I will send you all the available dates and information you need.
I’M EXCITED!!!
