I was searching for a jukebox years ago, but we never had the space and they were too expensive or too ugly. I kept seeing facebook listing for this jukebox, which I loved; but they wanted $7,000 for it. After seeing it occasionally for weeks, I decided to lowball him just in case; and then […]
It got cold this year and people started posting how terrible it was in West Virginia, so I took some pictures of the backyard. Looking pretty good!
A long time ago, I thought it would be cool to add an ocean sound effect to the chalkware fish bathroom. We bought the shell box at an estate sale over 6 months ago and I bought the speaker and control board for the Tiki room music box over a year ago. The box legs
We finished hanging the Demonoyo. I made the support out of some left-over teak and made the support wider than it needs to be so I could screw it into studs. I do NOT want this to fall for any reason. It’s made out of the same teak as the PNG shield with a brown-stained

I gave Lina a bar sink for Christmas with plans to build a bar similar to her existing one. So I drew up some plans in Fusion 360: Then we built some cardboard cutouts to see how it would actually look in the space: Now I needed some tools to actually do fine woodworking for
We bought this Moai from an event company a couple of years ago. Then Rene taught Lina how to paper-crete and she made the little piggy better. All was well with the world. Then the wolf came (high wind storm) and blew the piggy down and he split in half like Humpty Dumpty. Tiki Rancher
