[Mike Meyer]

[Mike Meyer]

Applebee's is a chain restaurant here in the states....do I do work for them? no. Would I like to? SURE! I like their logo, and thought I would make something aged and a bit different. Why the heck not!

[Mike Meyer]

This sign is some old boards glued together, sanded, cut to shape. Letters and Apple were s**** HDU. All water base paint.

Brilliant stuff Mike-

..First job tommorrow..I gotta get meself one of them there clocks- fantastic!

[Mike Meyer]

Wayneo i get my clocks at "dollar stores"...for...are ya ready for this

A DOLLAR.

Maybe you have "pound stores" there......we have them here..but we call them RESTAURANTS..where we obese Americans pile on the pounds!

Speakin of that, the pub next door had a Beff Strogonoff special that could gag a maggot. Next time I need paint stripped of something, I'll get an order to go. man was that awful........I wish I could get a good plate of Haggis. Is that too much to ask?

[baypainter]

Awsom work man! any chance of a step by step on these here pages, would love to learn how to make stuff like that.

[Mike Meyer]

Sure Baypainter, can I call you Bay?

I need some more time though....I'm busy as a one legged man in an ass kickin contest.

[Mike Meyer]

Ok...first, get an acorn, and dig a spot in the earth (see picture)that will get lots of sunshine...plant seed. Wait for tree to grow. Eventually you will get a large tree to cut down and saw wood into planks. Bear with me, this may take some time.

[Mike Meyer]

Oh God Bubba does that look good! Thanks!

[Mark Fair]

CAN YOU GO FURTHER BACK THAN THE PLANTING OF THE TREE???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[baypainter]

do ya water it with Bay Bio fella?

[Mike Meyer]

Bay Bio??????

[milo]

I think he may mean Baby Bio, It's a plant food over here to make it grow quicker, or it may be a play on words (baypainter)
By the way Mike you been watching too much star wars, we've seen the end now we've gone right back to the beginning.

We bow to you O Jedi master.

Regards Ian

[Mike Meyer]

Come to think of it Ian, I went to the Outdoor movie theater in a nearby town back in 1977-78-79? when I was in high school......I took a nice looking blonde with me so I don't rememeber much about Star Wars...Was it a good movie? Did Burt Reynolds get the girl in the end?

[James Kelly]

Great stuff Mike. I gotta make one of those clock signs for my workshop!

[Adam May]

I planted myt acorn yesterday. How lon can I expect to wait until my sign is done?

[dave parr]

Do we have to collect the squirrel hairs that fall from this tree as it grows to make the quill with?

I've gotten started on my hair net just in case.
