I just need to add some wheels to it and I'm all set! I can stay at home all the time, AND go places!
Buzzy Out!

Sunset:
I just saw my thread passed 1,000,000 views. Thanks for looking all these years!
I'm a little overdue for a update, and for that I apologize. Here's a quick run through of what's been up
Did a run of soaps:
Then I did a massive resin casting run, hoping to make enough to last until at least August. A few highlights of some finished pieces:
Some new Maori Hei Tiki test pieces
Final versions pre abalone inlays
I recast some CocoJoes pendants and made a chess set with wooden board:
Back in the shop with a new small 7" Marq face design and mini shield/paddle
Missed the good old days where I was carving in comfort all the time so I got a new carving carpet for the living room:
I upgraded the tv, stereo, speakers, and furniture in the carving room as well
Heaven! This new set up rules!
First two tikis carved in front of the tv:
Next was a maori:
And another Maori:
The group:
Finishing process:
Then Don's Tiki marketplace vending came up again, I was real low on stock, so I went to it for a few days:
In the middle of all that, I got a new buddy to hang out with:
Still no name for her. Her temporary name is Little Dog.
Custom sign:
After the Don's show, I still had the old mess in the shop to deal with, and a bunch of stock pieces to replace. Usually I'd wait a while and do something different, but there was already a mess there. So, back to more mess and stock pieces:
I also got sidetracked one afternoon and made a mug shelf out of the Moai design:
I went all New Yankee Workshop on it and made mortise and tennon joints on it. I've only had the table router set up for 3 years without using it...
And that catches me up to present day...A couple quick custom requests to fill right away and then it's back to indoor carving for a few days.
C-ya again soon!
Buzzy Out!

Be sure to see Buzzy at the Tiki Marketplace at Don the Beachcomber
all of his great carvings are ridiculously affordable.
Quality work at a "Great Price", no excuse not to add to the home bar or lounge!

No, unfortunately, it's just a Cammo joke. My setup is the exact opposite. I usually don't even have a table to vend on. I just throw my stuff on the floor and make people buy it when they step on it.
And while I'm here, a few more new and stock replacement pieces that I made over the last several days:
Soon as these are done, I have 4 split logs I want to hack out. Been a few weeks since I carved...
Buzzy Out!

Buzzy has broken more vacuum cleaners than are currently on sale at Super Target. His whole front yard is full of vacuum cleaner parts, bags, wheels, shattered dust casings, etc. They form kind of a no-mans land in a foreboding ring around his house. A really talented vacuum cleaner repairman with a can of glue and a box of tools could probably assemble 10 to 15 brand new vacuum cleaners from the parts thrown out of his kitchen window alone.
(Whoah, the Buzz Shack is a hit! Benzart wants one!)

Yes Cammo, Benzart Wants one!
Hey Buzzy, you know you are supposed to put bags in those vacuum cleaner things?
Glad you're back home again.
