Tiki Oasis photos
Jo David posted this fun shot of the booth in full swing on Flickr. Boy that takes me back... now I can't wait for next year. Check out more of his shots from the event here. Why don't my photos ever look that good?

We're halfway thru Sunday and are in the thick of it. The Dormers have been painted with much help from Troy's talented hands. The warclub spine extensions are about done except for perhaps a bit of trimming The whole shebang has been assembled and tested open and closed. The table top was decorated with a vinyl design to match the umbrella and got a bit of shading from Maya and is now getting an epoxy topcoat from Joe. Lesson learned: don't allow me around epoxy The final leg's damage has been cut off and is ready for its wooden prosthetic.
Another Weekend Push
Well another weekend is over and once again we made some progress. There were a few missteps as well. We're changing directions on a few elements and more than once we measured once... and "cut" a few times. The recap: The Umbrella skin has been sewn, and test fitted, and finished.

The beam extensions have been cut and dressed and only need support plates and a clear coat for protection if we're up for it. The table...
Momentum!
We had a big push this weekend and quite a bit was done. The rest of the umbrella panels were laid out on Friday ready for the weekend of progress. We decided to go with a water based fabric paint commonly used for silk screening. It should remain flexible and was easy to purchase in bulk. Of course it turned out that we didn't need nearly as much paint as I expected so I now have enough left over to do this at least 4 more times. Maya, Troy and I spent around 7 hours Saturday working on the hardwood...
We're back baby!
Progress! The stand was welded this weekend... and yes it looks like it was done by a pack of marmosets, but a pack of marmosets with a grinder and black paint. Here you can see Entropy working his magic with his Harbor Freight rig. Hopefully no one will notice what a death trap it is. We still need to fix two of the feet (or redesign all 5) We have also begun the work to decorate the fabric for the umbrella. Sadly the bleach just doesn't have the effect I was hoping for so we will resort to paint. 5...
