 We just made this giant six foot long kitchen farmhouse sign using some scrap wood that we had and our glow forge. And we learned a couple of things with our glow forge and we're going to share those tips with you right now. What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do it, Bill or make it? Great. And that's what we do on this channel every week. Everybody knows this week we're making a super long kitchen farmhouse sign to go over our back door where our kitchen meets the backyard. It's like the wilderness. Yeah, this is huge blank space above that wind wall window. No. To the window? To the wall. To the wall. Yes, it's a huge space above our door. It's a double glass door and it's just a big empty space above there and I really think it needs a nice farmhouse sign. So that's what we're going to make today and then make it a six feet long. Six feet long. Damn, but we're down to nubbins. We have like very little scraps. Well this week's project was going to be a farmhouse desk because I need a new desk now that I'm working from home in my day job. That was our plan but our, what is it? Our wood order? Our wood order has been delayed for the fourth time. Yeah. Guess what I learned? They do curbside pickup. Guess what I'll be doing next time? Curbside pickup. Clamby. We're going to make this, I just know this is going to look great so I'm really excited about it and we get to use our glow forge again because we're making it with 3D letters. 3D letters. Step one. We're going to gather all of our supplies. This is a super simple shopping list. Again, we just needed a couple of sheets of this hard board. That's what we're going to cut our letters out of. Two, a one by twos, that's what we're going to make our frame out of. And some quarter inch plywood. You would need that at 16 by 72 or six feet. The home improvement store will cut that for you. However, we don't have any quarter inch plywood but we do have this leftover eighth inch plywood which we used for the ship lap. So we're going to glue them together and create quarter inch plywood. Make it a little stiffer. And some paint. Yep, and our paint. Step two. Now we're going to make all of our cuts. I'm going to take this hard board over to the glow forge and cut out our letters. Ooh, I got a quick tip for you. I'll meet you there. I imported a JPEG into Illustrator. Bid a quick image trace, black and white, deleted the background, expanded it and gave each word its own color stroke. I then sized it and then stacked all the words on top of each other, saved it out as an SVG. Now in glow forge, each of those different color strokes will come in as a different layer. You could set each one of those layers to cut, score, or engrave. You just ignore the layers that you don't want to deal with right now. And I'm going to select cut for the layers that I do want to cut right now. And repeat until you're done with all of your layers. And now we're just going to cut out this thin plywood. We're going to cut it down to 72 inches, then we're going to glue it all together. I'm going to do it with my little pocket saw. I told you I'd take this guy everywhere with me. Glue ours together and make the backboard. Let it dry. Step three. Now we're going to paint. I'm going to paint all these little letters and little words that we made. Happy. I'm going to paint them with this black noir. Chalk paint. Oh classic noir. And I'm going to paint the board with a amount of white. So I'm going to paint this really, really, really light gray. It'll look white. Yeah, it'll look white. Meet you outside. Now we're going to assemble it. First, we're going to glue down all of our words, looking all beautiful and black. And we're going to glue them down with some wood glue. He is not into the E6000 if you watched last week's video. I hate the E6000. Or two weeks ago, I guess. He's not impressed. It never dries. It always seems rubbery. We're going to attach the frame. This is the one by two that we cut earlier. I'm going to tack it together with a one and a quarter inch brad. The nail. Not the guy. Ooh, that looks good. Bam. Look at that. Look at that thing. Can you see it all at once? That's beautiful. It's hard to see it all at once. Bam. What do you guys think? Our scrap wood project turned out okay, right? Turned out great. I love it. If you liked this week's video, remember to leave us a comment. Tell us what you liked, didn't like.
