My name is Nick and I live in central Scotland with my wife and son. I love Mid Century Americana. I’ve never been into modern cars and love the design, smell, feel and driving experience of a classic. Hot Rods, Kustoms and Air-cooled Volkswagens really light my fire and I’ve been around them for over 30 years. I’ve worked part time as a photographer for several car magazines, predominantly Custom Car. The cars, clothes, furniture, Tiki are all part of a culture cocktail that resonates with me. I hit my teenage years in the 80s and there was a huge American influence in TV at the time. The 80s time of affluence and the style harked back to the 50s in the US and that was literally linked in films like “Back to the Future”. I was lucky enough to travel to California in the mid 80s and came back with a skateboard and a head full of ideas. I’ve since travelled to 20 states and hope to visit them all one day.

MCM Monitor Makeover
มุมมอง 158ปีที่แล้ว
I recently posted my desk set up to Reddit and a lot of people asked how I made my monitor shrouds. I have found some footage so here is how I did it. This was before I redecorated the office so I will get together an office walk round video to show the rest of it too soon. www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/10a9d41/retro_futuristic_battlestation/ www.midcenturyscotland.com ...

Great project Nick, turned out well, cheers
@@iainmarshall2514 cheers dude 😃😎
Aloha from Las Vegas! Looks Good! 🤙🏽
Thanks Jimmy 🍹
I found you yesterday through your backtard tour and instantly knew i needed to subscribe. Greetings from Los Angeles
Hi Tim, thanks very much. I’ve not been to LA for far too long 🙂
I'm built me a tiki bar old $12 bar I found at the Goodwill I think it came out pretty good with the back of the band offense wooden fence attached to the back the fence was free.
Yank here. I have a 57 Chevy Bel Air 4 door (no post)…. I am looking to do a bare metal finish on here, offset by all that chrome. Suicide the rear doors. Tobacco colored leather finish. Hook an Airstream coach on the back and call her “57 Bel Air Stream”
Sounds awesome :) I've thought about suicide doors on the back too.
I love that it’s not your typical tiki bar. This one has many unique features. Love the flowers 🌺 nice touch 👌🏻
Thanks very much 🍹
Love the stop sign! Fantastic!
Thank you, my friend painted that for me :)
That is a wonderful space, and you have used it well. I bet garden parties at yours are brilliant. Cheers.
Thank you. Yes we love entertaining, would be a shame not to let others enjoy it 🍹
I Love it! Thanks for sharing this ... inspiring!
Cheers 🍹
I can definitely see why this would get someone started on their own Tiki Bar! So many ideas come from this I’m sure. Very cool!
That's really nice!! Love it
Thanks 🍹
I recognise the screen on wheels from a previous vid about this bar. I am pleased to see it tikified. Suits it very well. Nice work indeed.
Thanks very much 🍹
So cool! I love it! ❤
Thanks very much 🍹
Looks epic 🌺
Cheers Sam 🍹
Amazing! Great inspiration as I work towards my own tiki bar.
Thanks very much 🍹
Very cool. Cheers! 😎👍
That looks amazing! Can you tell me what screensavers you are using?
Thank you. Here you go, this Fallout one th-cam.com/video/AcpoMr3Fcyg/w-d-xo.html and this one th-cam.com/video/GPQhIrp1AJ4/w-d-xo.html
Very nice job. The Surfrajettes 🗿 Rule BTW!
Thank you. They certainly do 🍹
Hi. Im using exactly your process on my MGB. Id be interested in how its held up over the year.
Hi Mark, I have a walk round video of the Chevy that was shot about 18 months later. It’s doing pretty well.
@@midcenturyscotland Cool thanks! Looks very good!
@@markdavis2475 there was some initial reaction where it browned a bit under the lacquer but it’s stayed stable since
@@midcenturyscotland Cool, thanks for the info. I had to special order the Owtrol. Got it now. Almost finished the welding! I probably will have it painted but not for a year or two!
This is amazing, well done!
Thank you, I need to film an update there have been some improvements.
This is so rad. Thank you for sharing. Definitely will reference when I start this project.
You are very welcome, good luck with your build
Very impressive..I think you have an eye for art. I hope your TIKI BAR is still going strong here at the end of 2022 and many years to come😍
Thanks so much, I need to do an update video as it’s changed a bit now. I have built a roof over the deck.
COOL! TIKI is so universal nice mug collection,, wow nice big property well landscaped
Thanks very much 😎
Lovely property, and home design. Bakersfield Drag racing sign on the shed caught my eye. Born and raised there for 40 years. I just started the tiki vibe in a new town i call home now.
Thanks very much. Hope the tikification goes well 😎🥃
Thanks for the info. Stay cool and stay abiding in the vine.
Thanks, it's not quite worked out as planned as it has gained a bit of patina, I will do a follow up video soon.
Hi I’d be interested to know how it’s worked out as I’ve a bare metal project and I live in Devon
Thanks for the prompt I've been meaning to do a follow up, it's not quite worked out as I planned. After treating the whole car I had to get it outside to paint underneath. During the first couple of days there was a patina like reaction in the clear, a light rust. It stopped reacting after a few days and seems to be fixed now. I did 1300 miles in it over the last few weeks down to the NSRA Supernats amd Aberdeen, it got exposed to a lot of rain but still hasn't got any worse so it seems that its OK. There is a clip of the car right at the start of this video th-cam.com/video/FO0cSSQcYh8/w-d-xo.html so you can see. I will do a full follow up video soon.
Phenomenal location for your tiki bar! I just have a standard American suburban backyard for my view. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks very much. I’m working on some upgrades at the minute so should have a new video up soon.
Great video!
Thanks Jay
Thanks for sharing! I watched your other video about the tiki bar and was going to ask you some questions about how you made it, then you read my mind! Cheers!
Thanks Andy, mind reading is a special power developed by drinking plenty of rum 😂
@@midcenturyscotland See I knew you were going to say that! Now I know why! Rum!
@@coolate 😆😆😆👍🥃
Love this. I would have a blast sipping a Tiki cocktail from there. Well done.
Thanks it is really great to escape up there :)
Greetings from Colorado USA. Your bar is great, especially because it is in Scotland. Tiki bars are a dime a dozen in California, Hawaii and Florida. Excellent rum selection as well.
Hello Colorado, I love visiting the US, so much inspiration. Thanks for the nice words :)
Wow, such an awesome bar you have. Totally in love with the style, very original 👍
Thanks very much :)
Great job home tiki bars are the best . We have a nice one in the summer 👍
Excellent, it's great to escape into it isn't it?
That Retro Christmas illumination box you made was Amazing... Maybe a tutorial closer to Christmas 😉
Thanks very much. I shot a build of that for Instagram but the screen is the wrong way round! I’m sure there will be another sign for Christmas this year as that one is a barbecue sign now 😎
Great job Sir, did you buy the letters or hand made? I may have missed that part.
Thanks Timothy, I just printed them out on normal paper and then cut round them. Stuck them to the sign with repositionable spray mount to use as a mask 😎
Wow! Just discovered your channel and absolutely loving your videos! The Service sign looks incredible, what an amazing job! Looking forward to seeing your other projects, feeling really inspired!
Thanks that’s very kind. I love making these projects so hope to have more up soon 😎👍
Just amazing! You must have the BEST parties!! 🍹🌺
We have had some great parties, can’t wait to start them again! Thank you 👍😎
Good stuff Nick:)
Thanks Al, appreciated. Hope all is good with you.
Awesome stuff! Subbed and looking for more... inspirational content. Rock on !.
Thanks, much appreciated 😎👍
Awsome job Nick. Your gonna have to do more videos now .
Thanks Steve much appreciated, I’m hoping to, I love making these projects.
Greetings from a mid century and tiki inspired Northumberland, will be stealing some of your ideas for our garden renovations this year!
Excellent! I’ll get some video of the house up too soon. Hope your project goes well. 😎👍
What a great place, bet you have some cracking parties up there!
Thanks very much. Yes it’s been rubbish not being able to get anyone round. It will be getting well used when we are able to again!
Love your bar 😁🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🍹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌
Thanks very much. Plan some upgrade this year, ready for when we can get people round again!
