Toney's Beach Cafe

 This is one that we did for our neighbor T. Some people actually thought that it was a real cafe. The first picture is the concept version(fake) the one below it is the real thing.

All Together Now

We have finished with EL-wire for the summer and these are most of our projects on our cabin porch.

Re-brand name

We change the name of the bar sign to TIKI MIKES. You remember how we had the coat hangers to raise the EL-wire letters above the plywood? Well we didn't do that this time, it didn't look any better. This time we just zap strapped the letters to the plywood.

T2

We thought T1 needed a friend so we made T2. T2 is different from T1. T2 is oval shape, wile T1 is square shaped. T2 uses zap straps rather then hot glue because it worked quite well on the light house and birch bay sign.
T2 is oval shaped so we had to make the 1 by 2's around the edges curve to fit the shape of the wood. We made the 1 by 2's curve by cutting 3/4 of the way into the wood every inch. This made the wood easier to bend.
Little L helped us with this project.
