Thanks,
it's a fun thing to do on the side and people love them !

I was never the best student in school, but I was GREAT in all the shop classes...... ::)

The stools are pretty cheap at AC Moore and they come unfinished.

ACMoore? where is one?
Oh for fun I do a lot of hunting in the winter, ice fishing, , plus I seem to be involved in Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts as the committe chairman, canoeing and camping with the scoutsand there meetings, , Kiwanis, Lodge, Janitor, Deacon and Trustee of my church. A winter bowling league. There are 2 weeks a month for Sept. through may when I am at a different meeting 4 nights a week. Also with the funeral business one never knows when I will be working. Even when I am at the shore, still have my pager and cell phone on. I have 2 great funeral directors who cover for me and starts the process, but i usuall head back home within 24 hours after a death call comes in. Thats aboput it, I think

Aside from family work and fishing I play guitar. (Or at least thats what I call it ;D) I also play a little golf when I feel like pissing myself off.

I like to surf. They work great togather, if its to rough to fish that means is just right to surf and vise versa. But I must say fishing consumes most of my weekends. I'm also lucky that the better half likes to fish as much as i do so i don't catch any flack about it.

Harry,

Those Tiki Bars are awesome!! Do you sell them mainly in your area? Tiki bars are real popular down here in Jacksonville/St. Augustine.

Thanks Mike !!

Yes, there too big to ship and what started out as me making one for my deck has lead to a lot of friends asking me to help them or build them one too.
I just do it on the side as a hobby if someone asks for one. I also made up a little website for them www.islandtikibars.com

Ill start by saying for fun i like to go to Gainesville and wear UGA shirts :) GO Dawgs! im into scuba diving, fishing, boating, anything else outdoors, hot rod riding, hot rod building, anything with fast cars especially driving, play a little guitar, and im sure theres a million other things. My first comment was because last year i went on the HOT ROD Power Tour and had a stop in gainesville. I chose to be true to my heart and wear UGA shirts while i was there, man there were some mean people, but there was one that was nice. (im sure most people know Gators and Bulldawgs are mortal enemies) and if your into old cars and cruisin you would probly enjoy the power tour!

I'll have to get some pictures, its a '73 nova with a lil' 307 ;) and my new aquatic ride is a 16 ft skiff just for me to run around some of these rivers and creeks to dig up some Redfish and Trout. As soon as i get some picture on my computer ill post 'em up. Also i love your LED lights i have been considering them for quite a while, and they will be purchased tomorrow! i do alot of freshwater fishing as well and love night fishing so i think that will work out great. Awesome site you have hear seems like a great bunch of people!

Harry - that is some beautiful workmanship.

I build / fix up trikes (mostly VW, although I did buy a Lightning 350 V8 trike once), old cars, that kind of stuff. Wish I had kept all the vehicles I've owned over the years - I'd be rich. 55 Chevy convertible, 56 T-Bird, 57 Chevy convertible, 57 Ford convertible (dog engine), 64 Falcon Sprint (V8 4-speed). Hindsight is always 20-20 I guess. Wonder if my 96 Jeep Cherokee will be a collector's item someday... Probably only for a junkyard owner.

Since I sold my last trike which paid for my J16 and a new(er) car for mama, it's fishing and sightseeing on Lake Livingston, where I will be retiring for good by the end of this year. But there just might be another trike or motorcycle in my future as my son just bought a Sportster.

I'm 44 years young ;D and with my very bussy schedule i'm trying to ride my sportster with my cousin, play a liitle golf, build little things with my younger kid(been in the woodworking business, which started as a hobby,i don't like it much now as hobby), that's why they say don't make your hobby into business. 004 004 I also hunt, ski(both),Dj(used to),mount climbing(used to,before the GAIN 004 004). 012 012
