That is just so over the top fun. Never heard of such a brick... well Dan was famous for his brick bread which only he would bake and eat. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing. Wendy

Yeah Chris there will be more.
Thanks for compliment.
And to the people who have asked about lights I am sorry to kinda blow you off
my knee/back are not doing well so I've not been really doing much in the light
world.
If you got the new Tiki mag you can see my lights at the Tonga Hut on the right and left
of the Drooling Bastard tiki. (pg54)
Or just go there and check the place out, Thanks Jeremy and Amy!!!
Ok on to some cool rattan work.
Going to see how I can work some of this into some lights.

You tear apart old rattan furniture and make it into tiki lamps?  Way cool!

Yes use a mask, and you need a dremel tool with a fine grinder bit,
to cut the hole in the top of the fish.
Next pull out the stuffing if there is some.
You can use a wire brass brush to clean sides of blowfish.
Stick a c7 in the thing and you are done.

Here is the red lights with more rattan added.
Also pictured here is a new basket light.
my wife talked me into gettig the hat on this one
as I did not think it would work.
My best guess on this hat is that it's a 1920s beach hat.
It was kinda tatterd and fragile but I fixed all of that.
I like taking a cool item like this and putting it to use
on an item that would have daily.
