Jamesbbh

Thanks rudeney!! It was just a random idea I had for a christmas present for a buddy. He loves it haha

Rudeney

I'm not into spiders, but that one is great - it looks just like the real one!

Gary C

You have some serious talent there! And a lot of time! Lol

Jamesbbh

Thanks guys! No free time, just don't sleep much haha. Here are some more fairly recent ones. I'm actually going to be doing some work to the car soon so this will go back to the "car" thread haha.

Made a rattle snake out of a length of chain





Liked the first fire pit so much I made myself one

Jamesbbh

I'll be working on the car soon I swear guys haha.

Did this guy in the last couple nights "Angry Fish" Based it off of a google search of the finding Nemo Angler fish haha. Still needs polishing and clearcoat, this is freshly done.

Rudeney

James, do you sell you sculptures? if not, you really should - it's good! I see pieces like that go for hundreds of dollars in those boutiques in Destin and 30A. Especially anything nautical or "fishy".

Jamesbbh

Made a banana holder the other night haha

Jamesbbh

Thanks man! I sell one every now and then when someone really hounds me about it. Once I get the next bar open in Gainesville and have some free time I might start selling some more.

Jamesbbh

Finished another RR spike knife earlier, any tips on the best way to polish the parts I want shiny?

Jamesbbh

ACTUAL car related question haha. The car has felt a little loose in the front end, it also just rolled over on 100k, any ideas of where to start?

Rudeney

James - tires are always the first thing to look at. of course the suspension is next. I have found that bad rear tires can really make the car drive like crap. My philosophy is to always check the obvious first - tires are relatively cheap and easy to replace, so start there.

Jamesbbh

Just replaced the rears, the fronts are at least 50% left. where to next?

Rudeney

So still loose feeling? I would say get an alignment, but at 100K miles, it's likely time for some new parts. If you really want to make it right, replace it all - struts, inner and outer tie rod ends, upper and lower thrust arms. Then do an alignment. It won't be cheap, but it will make it drive like new.

Jamesbbh

I’m still alive!!!! Been busy as **** but I’ve been working on the car a lot lately including replacing rear SAM (I have electrical problems so much) but WHATS UP FELLAS 🍻🍻🍻🔥🔥🔥🦍🦍🦍 oh btw I bought a 2015 wrangler and the CLK has been mostly sitting since then 😭😭😭 (also opened, closed and sold 2 bars and moved to Gainesville then st pet) so it’s been hectic

Rudeney

Glad to hear you're still around! Any new sculptures?
