 Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Ah, there we go. Okay, okay. Alright, that was just a false start. Yeah. What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder make it? So do we. And we have a new video each week. This week, I was a lot more excited last time. This week, it's another test cut Tuesday. And I didn't have a picture last time. So no idea. This is Kim's whimsical design. Yeah. So what I was trying to tell you guys, and I was miming was that we can't always have Garrett's detailed designs as you see back here. Sometimes we need something easy to paint, especially if you're taking these things to the craft shows or the farmer's markets. And I thought this one would be kind of easy to paint and it would be fun. I hope it's going to look cool. We'll see. I haven't, you know, it is test cut. So feel free to give me your feedback. Maybe these are too big. This is what I'm thinking already. The balls are too big. I should have smaller balls, swirls or whatever they're, whatever they're called. What do you call that? Spiral. Yeah, that's what I was looking for. Smaller spirals. We'll see. But, you know, I just thought this one might be an easy one to paint and take to the craft shows. And it's giving like Dr. Seuss or Grinch vibes or something like that. So, yeah, so it would be kind of fun. So that's what we're going to try and do today. She made the design and then I decided on the layers. So I layered it up. Yeah, she's popping. All right. It'll pop. Oh, okay. So here we are overhead. And I don't know now that you're overhead. Oh, Kim. All right. Well, I can't really show you maybe this way. See here? I could show you that there's several layers there. We'll see. We'll see. We'll paint it up. See what we think. It'll be fine. So let me come over here and say hi. And it was when I went to say hi before that I could see that there was no sound. So thank you for letting me know. Let me roll back here. You want to say hello to some of your friends? Yeah, hold on. I got my mirror out. Oh, it's quite a scroll today. Well, that's because there's quite a scroll there. Has everybody hit that thumbs up yet? Go ahead and hit that thumbs up for me. Give me a hand. More thumbs up. I see Tyra and Helen and JJ and Michael and Chris. Chris, I thought so. I already said Tyra, right? Amy Tiny Hands Baker, Deanna, Bob, Tracy, JJ. Did you get Diana? I did. I think so. Diana. Oh my gosh. Annette, Manuela, Haley and Matt, Scott, Chantel, Mandy, Eric. Oh, there's Christina. I thought so. Emily, Christy, Jason, Lois. What's up Lois? Sharon. Who else do I see? I don't know. Amir, Spade, Nami. Did you get Christian? Christian. Oh yeah, of course Christian. I think this. Walter. There's a lot of people here. I see Corey. You said hello to everybody that was in first. I got you guys. Everybody that was in my mirror. Okay, yes, you can hear me now. Christian said, whew, that was scary. We haven't had technical difficulties in a while. I thought, bring them back. Manuela said yes, exactly what I was thinking, Grinch. I found that piece, but now I lost it again. Eric, Eric, you gotta get yourself in trouble. You're in trouble by me. Eric says, where did it go? I lost it. Funny, I didn't think they had mic issues at the beginning. Us men normally don't hear that way anyway. You're doing all the talking. That's how we usually hear. Christian Tiny Hands fan is here. I already lost the piece. What happened? You won't even notice. It's this piece right here. Oh, this piece I'm holding my hand. I was just playing with it. That piece goes there. I'm thinking we're going to want to start with white. Really? Because we're going to go red, right? Yes. And you know red's a pain. I think that you can know. You're going to get too much white showing. Just do a couple coats of red. You'll be good. How about I do the red? And you move on to these little top pieces. Garrett and I have been at odds all day. We had to be friends right before this video. Come over here and be my friend. We had to make up and be friends right before the video. I made him mad this morning and he has not been happy since. We were talking about this week's video and Kim goes, well, and I was like, oh, uh oh. And he says, I'm out. I got work to do. Yeah, I went in the back and started working on laser stuff and I haven't seen him since. So Eric, I cleaned the lasers. You probably resonate with Garrett a little bit this morning or this afternoon. I do with the long paws and the closed eyes and the closed hand play I'm showing. You know what? I didn't even get to. Something was coming. He walked away. He literally was like, oh, I got work to do. And then he did not hear what I had to say. That was fine. I went on. I did some other things. Lots of other things. I figured whatever you had to say was going to cause me more work or get me in trouble. So I felt it best if I go be busy. That's okay. We'll make up. We'll make up. There's no mad. There's no mad. Nobody's mad. It was just an avoidance thing. Like I said, I don't need any more work because I feel like this video is going to change last minute. Michael said, come on, one coat G. You could do red in one coat. Oh, I can't. Manuela said that's just part of being married, lol. It is. There's no hate. Hollow Queen says, ooh, never undermined a woman, Garrett. Nope. That's why I leave. Making a woman mad is the highway to the danger zone. I don't know it. I don't know it. So the best way to deal with that is to not be there. I can't get hurt riding my bike if I'm not on my bike. Oh, you can't avoid me forever. Can't get in trouble by the police for speeding if I'm not in my car. Patricia said, hey, happy Taco Tuesday. Yeah, did you guys see I put the tacos on behind us? I thought that would be fun. We raided all of our signs and took them to the craft show with us last weekend. Why are you going in for it? I was dared. You were dared to do it in one coat? Yeah. So we had to take them all with us to the craft show last weekend, which by the way, yes, was a thousand degrees. Hey, I needed to go back up and reference who was up here from Arizona, Diana. She said it's supposed to reach 116 today. Oh, good luck, girl. It's crazy. Stay cool. So we were at, let's see, we went to, if you followed our, if you guys are top tier patrons and saw our after show, you heard the story. I'll make it a short one. My crazy hair is getting in my face. I'll make it a short one, but it was like the peak heat of the day, 330 was supposed to storm in the field after a storm. No, it never actually stormed. It just got really, oh, maybe, maybe the night before it rained, but it was supposed to rain a Friday afternoon and roll right through. So I was like, well, I could set it up in the morning, but these are supposed to, that is some thick paint. Michael, look what you've done. He has got that thing. Hold it. Let me see if I can hold it up. Don't touch it. You're going to try to sabotage it. Oh geez. Don't get Jason started. Can you guys see? One coat. Bam! I think that is. One coat champion of the world right there. Right there, Michael. Gotcha. Anyway, we decided not to set it up before the rain because we knew that storm was going to roll through and they were talking hail and everything. So I was like, let's just wait. So by the way, it never stormed, but we did set up at 3.30, peak heat of the day. When we were sitting out there, I think it was 96 degrees. Underneath palm trees. And then when I got back in the car at 9 p.m., this one was 5 to 9. So they were trying to do it in the evening hours, and then they did it Saturday morning 9 to 1 in the morning hours. But when I got back in the car at 9 p.m., it was still 87 degrees. So that was a long time to be outside. And what was it, 70% humidity or something? That was here in the warehouse with 70% humidity. Okay, before you go in with that lime green, which I see you're about to rock, is it supposed to be? Oh, my bad. Like, yeah. Lucky green? Yeah. Good catch. I'll be back for you later, lime green. You're not up yet. You're not on deck. He is on deck. Oh, on deck is waiting? Yeah, on deck is waiting. I thought on deck is like ready to go. Yeah, like you're the next batter. You're on deck. You're not in the batter's box. You're on deck. I got you. I got you. So let's see what's happening out here. Helen's out there touting the Patreon. Yes. Yes, sir. We're going to tout that. Oh, catch it now because we got a Zoom call this week. Yes, that was, I think Courtney made a post about that. Hey, Patreon Zoom calls on Wednesday if you haven't joined, but you've been thinking about it. Now's a good time to do it because our call is on Wednesday. And Lois said, happy wife, happy life. Don't I know it? That's my motto. Oh, Michael said you got this G. So he was, he had faith in you. He pulled it off. Thanks, Michael. Thanks for the confidence. Yeah. Christian said it's only too much paint if you stop rolling it. All right. Yeah. You keep it going. You keep it going while it's wet. You'll eventually get it smooth. Humidity is the worst. Yes. Worst. Can't wait to have you join us on the Facebook group. Oh, yeah. Christy just joined us on Patreon. Thanks, Christy. We just did another live illustrator thing too. Oh, yeah. We did an illustrator class last Monday. Like Dave said, we. Yeah. That was hilarious. Like last Monday, I wasn't even, I just popped in for five seconds. Just to make some noise. But we wanted to make sure we got that for you guys. Thanks, Kim. Yeah. You guys did a quick one. It wasn't a marathon one. So good job, everybody, for. Trying to keep it an hour. Kind of keeping that short and sweet little compact. Don't want to overwhelm me. We just did a couple of different ways to use the trace tool. Oh, it's good. I mean, that is like one of the number one things you're going to use in Adobe Illustrator. So that was a great place to start. Oh, Helen said you skipped my comment above. I did Helen. She said, will that layer get that layer is going to get glitter, right? Oh, I can. I think I have green. I think that's no. No, no, no. This one, I think. Which one, Helen? The red, the green or the red? I think there's green. Let me go see if I can find it. Yeah, I think I missed it. Oh, shitties. I'll see you. Oh, Lois said you need to glitterize this ball. You gave more votes for glitter. Oh, glitter ball. Helen was thinking the green one. Okay. The green one. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yep. Jason said, yep. And we didn't have somebody randomly moving furniture either. Yeah. It was a quiet one. All I did was move one little crate on the first call. And man, I'll never leave it down. One little crate for like 20 minutes. Yeah. Jason, go and get. I feel like that crate was filled with lead. Hold on. Just moving this crate. I just dragged it. Because I didn't want to get out of my chair. So I dragged it closer to me. That is it. Uh-huh. It's not like I dragged it across the room or anything. Yeah, practically dragged it across the room. And it sounded like it. You want me to put some tape? Because you're going to do these letters? Why don't I paint this first? Yeah. And then we'll do the left tears. Left tears. I will do my left tears. Donna said she was late, but she made it. Steve's here. Hope Steve's done. Nice to, nice for you to make it. Jason said across the room it only took 20 minutes. Right? Yeah. She was dragging the lead snail. You guys are winers. What else we got going on around here? Big announcement. Big announcement? Yeah. Do we have a big announcement? What do we do? It's like we're giving birth in three weeks. Oh, I wondered if that's what you were talking about. Not a baby. Too old. Yeah. Not a baby. No. Not that. And nobody I know either. Shoot. I don't need any of my kids having kids yet. Yeah. They're too young. No kids for the kids. No. Do you want to, do you want to, do you want it to be a surprise? Yeah. It'll be a surprise. All right. So he just, he just rolled that right? Yeah. I just teased you. He just rolled that right out there. This week's video is going to be a good one. Another good one. Yeah. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a family feud episode. A little Steve Harvey video. Every family feud episode is going to be a good one. Look, this is going to be so fast. Yeah. Shoot. I'm going to have a short test cut Tuesday. But see, but look how fast this is going to be when you go to paint this yourself. I batched these out. I did a cut to one for test cut Tuesday because I need that faith in my cut file. Well, the craft show this weekend is a Christmas in July one. This is perfect. We can take it. Perfect. We've got some more Christmas designs in the works. Mine that I had in the works was vetoed due to detail issues. I told him so, you know, while I'm keeping the mad train going. Or keeping it real. I was thinking maybe I would go get either the silver, the gold actually. I think I'm going to go get the gold paint and paint it. Silver and gold. Gold. Why don't you paint it like yellow or whatever and I'll come in with the gold glitter. I'll give it the glitz and the glam. Okay, but I'll have to go get it because I didn't bring it. With a little bit of shazam. Did you bring the white because this is pretty dry. No. Like a muscle through. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. No, don't make it chunky. I got you. Almost done. Oh wait, I don't want to go over the edge. I don't feel like cleaning up my edges. Are we doing custom rounds at the, at our craft shows? Not yet. Not yet. We're not set up yet. We have, we want to get the files and everything together and ready. We're asking about, did you not bring back the white? It's coming. Grace is going to get it for me. They're asking about if we're doing the custom rounds at our booth yet. Oh, for the F1? Yeah. Well, one of the things that, what are you doing? Face forward. No, it's been so hot. I just wasn't sure how this thing was going to do in this, in the humidity. It is just, I mean, our lasers can't handle the heat out back. I don't know if the F1 is going to be able to handle 70% humidity. Right. So that's been our hesitation. But I do, I'm ready to use it. We really know how to use it now. Yeah, I was using it this weekend. I was just throwing stuff under there. Yeah, Billy Baker came to visit us to check out some lasers this week. So. Thank you. Thank you. You have to play with the, we played with the big 100 watt. We played with the P2 and the F1. Well, we did a little more rearranging and moving some things around and Garrett, I think that I shared that with you guys last week. Yeah, it was the week before I did all that moving. Yes. And when I came back, everything's got a spot. So every laser now has a home and we can use them. Two are back there on that wall and two are on this wall. Thank you very much. Do you want to hit that with some white before you go with the gold? No, because you're going to spray it, right? Oh yeah, yeah, I'll spray it. Right. So I do have the gold roller. I just thought we could put a little dibby dab on there. Oh, a dibby dab? Yeah. Was that dibby dab, dibby dom? Anyone heard from Candace? Oh, just popped in and popped out. What about the, oh my gosh, it's beakers of God and really close to glue time. Yeah. Oh, what about it? Put that file out. Jason was out there. I think he was just talking about how fast we're painting this. Oh yeah. Maybe he said nobody likes a tease. Yeah, because we're not ready to talk about it yet. Garrett and I can't keep a secret. We just don't even know how to keep a secret. Neither one of us for that matter. Hey, look what I got you for Christmas. Yeah, he's the worst. Even when he got ready to propose. There was just like all kinds of a thousand hints before he proposed. What? It was pretty down low. Well, here's the thing. I wasn't going to be like, out of the blue, be like, will you marry me? And you'd be like, no. So I had to feel it out first. You were just getting a feeling for it. See if I see. Because if you were like you, I was going to be like, oh. See if I was amenable. I'll wait a couple of minutes. I'll let that one simmer. Yeah. Let's see. I was thinking silver gold too. Yeah. I just think the gold would give it a little more. Yeah. A little more pop to it, even more pop to it. Pop to. So who was the winner of the secret signs? Oh, Garrett by far. Thanks everybody. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I was saying. He's going to go glitter. That's what I was saying before is this week when he did his test. Cut Tuesday sign. It was another Christmas sign. Well, it was more like a winter sign. And we just did a winter sign last weekend. I feel like we need more of a like seasonal holiday sign. So that's kind of what this one says. Merry Christmas on it. But his was wintery. And I said, he goes, bam. What do you think of this one? I turned around and I was like, well, the trees are good. And the cardinals are good. But the bottom half had this like vintage frame that didn't go with the top half. Like the bottom vintage frame was cool. And the top half was cool. But together they didn't fit together. It was two different eras or something. And so he was like, he was, you know, disappointed. Every time I say, no, he is disappointed. But I said, you know what? You won secret sign design. They liked your design better. They liked your painting better. So I was like, you know what? You can have at it. If you like it and you think it's good to go, go for it. And then he was like, no. I hear what you're saying. I just put it on the back burner. And then he was like, what are we going to do for Tascat Tuesday? And I was like, my Christmas ball. So he had neither one of us sort of super stoked on this. We want something new and exciting, but we haven't figured out what it is yet. So just coming up with new ideas every week is, I mean, I feel like we're always trying to come up with an idea, but sometimes we're like still in that, I don't have it quite figured out yet stage. And we've got to come up with something for Tascat Tuesday. So this is there. That's pretty good. Then the glitter blasted. Glitter blasted. I missed a bunch of comments. Let me scroll fast. Oh, Lois is looking for a couple of hair clips with the Disney theme. Like it. We can't advertise, but we can. Hello, Queen says, can you make a door sign that says load entirely with the Grinch face made for a previous boss? Yes. You know what? I also, my favorite, and we do it all the time. If somebody's trying to decide what they want to wear to something, we always give that. That's it. That's it. I'm not going. But in the movie and they do a sign for this one all the time, which is the schedule. It's, you know, four o'clock. I've got Jazzercise. It's six o'clock. I've got to solve world hunger, whatever, whatever. I want to do that one because I think it's so funny. You're waiting for this thing to dry. Still working on that one coat to dry. Oh, it's good. You're going to break the top. Reinforced. It just shows the strength. There you go. Michael says we need a new shop tour. Michael, you're about to get one. It was almost this week's video. Yeah, it was. I told him with prepping for this big craft show, I didn't think we had time to rip up the floors and stuff. But if you're going to see a little story, I think it's scheduled to come out at like 6.45 or something. That talks about what we're doing with the new front room. We've cleared it out and we're making room. We're going to really, we're about to do a bow town. We're going to make for real bow town. And it's going to be campy. So I think it's going to be fun. It's not really, I'm not sure if it's a whole lot. No, I don't know. Why? It's still wet. It's not. I tried it. It's dry. Okay. Oh. But that's my palette. Yeah. Why don't you, yeah, go overhead. So behind the spirals is going to be lime green. And then the darker green is going to go on top of the spirals. We'll see. I really think this might need a little DTF, a little DTF spirals. Yeah. Now that's 16 inches. Yeah. We could DTF. Almost. We could do half of it. We could probably just do a little patches. Yeah. Oh, instead of Mary Grinchmas, just use that sign and take off the letters and say, change it to loaves. That's easy. Yeah. That would be an easy one. The hardest part of that is trying to figure out how to spell loaves. Are those paint bottles like the ones used by the sandwich shop? They are. They are. So we can make you a hoagie or a sign. You want yourself a nice little hoagie? One of those Italian subs? I got you. Want some paint? I also got you. Halloween says, all I'm saying is, don't promise me a severe thunderstorm and not deliver. Ohio never delivers. Right? That's kind of how it was that day. I thought for sure it was going to cool off. Christian said a little glitter won't hurt. Yeah. I think that green one, let's look at it. You want to see it? Because that green glitter is sparkly. Look, while he's doing that. Can you guys see that? We'll have to take it out in the sunlight later. Yeah. I don't really. It's so hard to show on here. But you guys can kind of see it. There it is. I think you're going to need a couple coats of that lime green. That's something to remember. That's something to remember. Where are we heading with that one? I don't know. That was more like, and that sucks that you're the one painting. Mandy gave her a little engagement story. My husband took me to the mall. We looked at jewelry. He said, you like that ring? I said, yes. And he said, we'll take it. And the clerk asked what it was for. And he said, an engagement ring. And I was like, oh, yes. Yes, please. Chris said, mine said, what are you doing on March 6th? I love it. And she said they were only together six months ish. And that was 13 years ago. Funny. Yeah. Six months. And that was 10 years ago. My ex. My Helen says my ex proposed two days before the wedding. I guess he finally did. But with no ring. I should have known. Let's see. Yes, dear. Yes. Steve. Steve Peer. I just read the whole name in one word. Steve Peer. You're just dear. Top tier call tomorrow. Chris had to leave. But we're on mute. She can't hear us. Well, this is when we say it was when we talk about it. That was, yeah, that was Chris. Yeah. Diana says at a bar with a band playing and he stood up and yelled, will you marry me just as the band stopped? I said, sit down and shut up the next day. I said, of course I will marry you. And that was 42 years ago. Nice. That's awesome. I like that. How many times since have you told them to sit down and shut up? Did we tell you our story, Garrett? That was, uh, I'm sure I've already told you guys. But when, when Garrett proposed to me, we had, had just had a birthday party for me the night before we did, um, a whole, what was it? What would you call it? Like, uh, well, it's kind of like a Cinco de Mayo, whatever themed, even though my birthday is in September, but it was lots of tequila and all kinds of stuff. So. And tacos. Yes. And dozeckis beer. In pinata. We had a fun one. It was quite a party because like everybody was there. We just had a really great time. And then the next morning, of course, I wasn't feeling so great because everybody wanted to give the birthday girl a drink. Well, that's because I gave you a necklace that had a shot glass on it. And I actually wore it. I guess that was my own fault. So I was not feeling so well and I had the dog out by the pool. Um, you know, I just was taking the dog out and I was standing there and not feeling so great. Just staring off in the space. Yep. Just staring off in the space and I turn around and he's down on one knee and asked me to marry him. And then I was like, are you serious? I was like, wait a minute. I might just, I just, my brain wasn't really functioning. And I was like, are you sure? Yeah. After last night, I feel like we have to. After that party. After that kind of throwdown party. Yeah. So we had a, we had a great time. And then all has been good since, I mean, except for earlier today. That was the first time in 10 years. Yeah. First time in 10 years we avoided each other. Let's see. Shoot. We were married for 20 and that says my husband proposed, proposed to me at a Tracy Bird concert when it started, when he started singing our song. Oh, that's nice. We were married for 24 years. Jason's got to go out and mow the grass at 107 degrees. That's awful. Jason. Christine wants to know, we're going to put these sparkles on this thing. Absolutely. The spirals have sparkles on them already. Dawn's here from West Virginia. Tracy said my husband created a coupon to get married anytime. Of course there was fine print, i.e. making dinner, cleaning, et cetera. Was funny and super cute. That was 22 years ago. Oh, that's cute. Yeah, resin dragon. Good afternoon. Holy moly Christmas decorations already. Yeah. Because it's Christmas in July. We're supposed to be doing Christmas all, all month. And I guess we didn't do a test cut Tuesday on 4th of July. So last week, last Tuesday was like the winter sign. This is like really the first Christmas one. Sorry, starting. Are you, are you over it? You want me to take a turn? Daven? No, I'm all right. Diana said at least you didn't puke up on them. No, that was the night before. I actually did the night before. Yeah. Halloween wants to know what about a nun, Michael Myers, or Annabelle themed door hanger. Oh, we totally got to do an Annabelle themed one for this year. Christmas? For Halloween. Which Garrett would love to skip right over this, but I told him, nope, we got to keep going until the end of the month. I was already gearing up for Halloween. Yes. He is red D. You know, that's his favorite. That's not the love dressing up scaring people. Michael's bad word. Michael said I asked my wife and she said yes, but cried for three days. Oh. Hey, Scott. Scott joined us. It was a good cry, right? Yeah, I know, Helen. We got to come up with something, don't we? That's what I was telling him. I don't know how to make this a layer. Helen said all that dabbing is making this a not an easy sign. Ah, well, I thought about making these, cutting these out of the spiral and putting them back in. You put the spiral piece back on. Oh, around it. Yes. Let's do that. So did you guys get what he was saying? So the spiral would be embedded in the lime green, so you could paint them separately and then put it back in there. And it would still be two layers. Yeah, I think it would be a couple of pieces, but it would probably be easier than painting in the lines. So that's Tesco Tuesday. There we go. What's the name? Diana said it was a shot glass necklace of pre-engagement gift. A promise ring. I promised to keep it full. And you promised to get drunk enough to say yes in the morning. Yeah, I was, yeah. I just, I couldn't even believe it. I turned around and saw you were down. I was like, right now, while I'm letting the dog, like the dog was right there going to the bathroom beside us. He didn't care. The dog didn't care. Well, it was burning a hole in your pocket, right? You're like, how long am I going to have to hold on to this bag? Yeah, how long do I have to keep this thing in my pocket? Christine says, I don't mean spray paint glitter. I mean glitter like with glue. I don't know what you mean. Ooh. What do you think that means? Like for the inside of this, for the green? Well, do we have any? Because we can put it on while the paint's wet. No? Glitter? I mean, yeah, sure. Do I have longer, yes? Yeah. Somewhere. In that glitter pack, if you haven't used it, you know that like 30 pack of glitter bottles? Yeah. Let's see. What am I missing? What kind of paint do you use and where do we get it from? We use exterior house paint. And you can get any exterior house paint from anywhere. We, this happens to be Sherwin Williams. Right now. Right now. For now. For now. For now it's Sherwin Williams. Donna says, July 29th is our farmer's market Christmas in July in Denver, North Carolina. I need to get busy. Yeah, girl. Better get busy. I think that Christmas in Julys are fun because people have all their summer stuff by now and they're looking for something different. And I know that when we brought Christmas signs in July at, where did we go? I felt like it was at Aquaquan. We sold all the Christmas ones at Aquaquan. And then this show coming up, Virginia Lake Fest, this one also sells a lot of Christmas signs. But if you guys remember, remember when we put that Z rack together to see if it would hold all of our signs. It's like a clothing rack, but we put all our signs on it. We can move it around. The sign, we filled it up with leftover Christmas signs. So for this show, I don't even have to make any signs because we pretty much have a little bit of everything left over from last year. So they're not going to go to waste. And I have the Merry Christmas lights and the Grinch ones, just everything. So I'll be able to fill up a whole cart of just Christmas signs. So if they sell well, we'll be able to take advantage of that because we have plenty of inventory. And whatever is happening here, whatever is happening better not be happening because there's no way I'm going to be doing this. Test cut, test cut, babe. Kelly, can you see, I don't know if you guys can really see when he gets down trying to keep it in that line. He's getting right up to the line. I'm a master of the score mark. So I have going, when you go over this a second time, you won't have to go that close to the line, right? You're just going to. That is my second time. Oh, there's definitely a second time coming. Right. This is my second time. You see this. Oh, you're going over it the second time. Well, you didn't finish this guy. Oh, you don't have to because it's inside the thing. Get away. Yeah. I'm sorry. I was looking away. I was looking away. How about cut the round pieces and add score lines and add the swirls to the top? We could Scott, but the there's a knee. There's a little plate that goes on top. Oh, and it's already three layers. Yeah. So I didn't know how to set these on top of this on top of this on top of that. It got to be too much. So he thought we decided, oh, we'll just paint the inside, but we can see that's going to take too long. It was less like a Christmas ornament, more like a wedding cake. Starting to stack. Heidi says cutting your Grinch while you're watching you paint. Awesome. Yeah. Sorry, guys. This is a slow little process here. Slower than we thought. What time is it? What's the time? 4.45. You better get on it. We're still good. Glue will be nothing, nothing, nothing to the glue. Oh, Trudy made it. Almost missed it again. Phew. Thanks for joining us, Trudy. Thanks for joining us. Slit right in. I hope we get that Facebook thing resolved. Oh, I don't think I went back out and added you, but I got your message, so I'll do it. Lois said married 43 years. She's widowed now. Three years later, met Jim, engaged for 16 years, and widowed again. I'm staying single. You go, girl. Play the field. That's right. You can play the field now. Married 26 years, together 33 years. That's Tyra. Wow. Go, Tyra. Oh, Mandy said excited for that K and G paint trademark. I love it. K and G paint is the K and G paint. The secret. Who let the cat out the bag? Yes. I'll just go ahead and tell you. Yes. We just placed our first order for the paint, but it won't be here for like three weeks. We have a three week lead time to start a good little marketing campaign for the fall and roll it out. So you guys start thinking about because what we're going to do is be able to offer it still exterior house paint, but in, you know, smaller sizes so you don't have to buy a whole gallon of paint. Kind of like what you would get maybe at those. At Michaels, but outdoor quality. Yes. Not those Michaels. Not just the. Not just craft paint. This is like craft paint colors with exterior properties. Yeah. And because, you know, you have to pay a little more for these poppy colors like this lime green and stuff. So, but we haven't seen it yet. I had to go. And then nobody wants to get it in like 32 ounce. This is as low as you can get it from the store, right? No. You mean a gallon? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you could buy it in a gallon or you could buy it in what like the eight ounce jars or those tester jars or something, but we'll be able to offer it. I think what we'll see, I don't really know what the tester jar prices are, but I think it's going to be pretty competitive pricing. Yep. I think if you use a paint brush and not a makeup sponge, it would go faster. You'd think so. If I, if I, yeah, but then you'd have like stroke marks and I don't know, maybe on the edges. What are you trying to say? You're trying to say I'm slow. Judge him says, speaking of which, I use quarter inch MDF for the back or an eighth inch tempered hard board for all the other layers. It's cheaper and it cuts down on the weight. Yeah. But how does it hold up? How does that? Yeah. I drive that tempered hard board outdoors. I don't know how well that'll hold up outdoors. We did get another eighth inch MDF, well HDF, but as I read more about it, we got a little nervous about cutting it and, you know, like the toxicity of the students. Yeah. Yeah. So we were a little hesitant to keep using that. So we struggle with finding eighth inch material. I really want to use eighth inch for the top layers, but I'm having a hard, I just can't find it in my area. I mean, we have like 20 sheets of the plastic stuff. Yeah. We got, well, and it's, it's been great. It's actually more weather resistant than MDF, but I'm not sure I can laser it. So if you guys know anything or have heard anything or read anything, let us know. I read some stuff that made me scared. So I told Garrett, well, we're going to stop using this for right now, but that HDF is cheaper than the MDF. One of us hangs out back there all day long. I'm not saying like a specific person, but me or Tanner or Sarah, there's always somebody back there breathing in that stuff and I don't want to breathe in that. Well, we have it all vented out and everything, but it's still like when you open the laser, there's still exposure. Still residual. Oh, you're getting some exciting, well, excited responses about K&G paints. Oh, great. He's very excited about it. I am super excited about it. Somebody asked about the bags. It's hard to catch everything. Does the Ziploc bags help the sponge rolls from drying out? Yeah. Yes. So you can see we keep them in the Ziplocs. I'll give you a little tip. When your Ziplocs get dirty like this, get a new bag. You can keep the roller going, but the dried paint from the inside of the bag, if nobody closes it, like this is how I picked this up. This is how I rolled it. This is how somebody else rolled it. Can you see that there's like air in there? You don't want that. We're trying to save you. No, was it? Well, maybe this time it was. Well, it was this time. This time. I've been double bagging them. I've been putting it in a bag and then putting that bag in a bag and Ziplocing the second bag. Well, I think if you just use it for a while and then when the bag does dry out, because when it even closed together tight like this, it starts to dry out. And when it gets too dried out, just switch to a new baggie and the roller will still be fine. There's your tip of the day. Ooh, tip of the day. Tip and test cut Tuesday. Paintbrush stroke marks will make it whimsical and the glitter will go on top. So who cares? It's too late now. I'm already in on the dub. That's Helen again. She is not going to let this one go. I've already been dabbed. How can I keep? I'm riding this one to the ground. Yeah, I see. If it goes down with the ship. Sure. Christine says glitter that has puff. That puffy paint. That might be a good idea. Well, that would be good for the spirals, right? I mean, if we do these, here's what I'll do. I'll do just like I did the marine sign. Make a template. Take it out and spray paint it. After the girls were done playing with their marine signs on Saturday, I just took them out back and sprayed them in two minutes. Yeah, so what he did, he would make a template that leaves all this green stuff open and everything else solid and he'd spray the green and then, well, I don't know how you would do it. I guess you would need to use the swirls because they are all attaching and then keep that as a template on top and spray the whole thing red. Yeah. But we don't always have time. Like, as painters up front, we're not like spray painters, so... I don't know. I think we're going to have to... Yeah, you're the old brush painters. The old brush painters. Old school. Old school brush painter. Pro tip right there. Who's on the agenda for the Zoom call for the Zoom tomorrow? Me. I'll be there. Helen said, Lois, we're talking about getting clients on the dating apps. Yep, dating apps. That's our agenda for tomorrow. That's what I'll tell Kim when she finds the dating apps on my phone. I'm like, I'm getting clients! I'm... Well, you know, my Microsoft icon is the Not Today Heifer sign. Yeah. That's it. That's what he was like. I had him join our family, like, Microsoft Office account. I was like, why are you not on it? Because he couldn't get something to open. Anyway, he was... So I made him do it right there while I was sitting there. And then he was like, Oh, I got to change my picture. Let me put a profile picture. Lois had just said GV. So he goes and he couldn't find like a picture quickly. It was like a two-second thing. But he did find a Not Today Heifer sign and that's what he put up there. Not today! And he thought that was hilarious. Yeah. If anybody ever goes, check out my Microsoft avatar all the time. All right. What's happening there? It's wet. You're picking out. It didn't dry from before. So no. No. What are you doing? No. That doesn't mean... No. You got to let it dry. I wish you guys could see closely what he's doing. He's like, you know what? That's blotchy. So I'm just going to load it with paint. When it's out, paint it out. I think if you let it dry, you could fill it in really easily. Look at that. Done. Yeah. Now you got 20 minutes to wait for that to dry. But you can put a second coat on this black here. I think these letters... What have you been doing? Uh-oh. Look, you're the one who likes to paint. I don't mind painting. I just like to stay busy. Yeah. You know him. If he were doing questions and comments, he would be... He'd find him over there, picking up something else, talking to you from on the other side of the room. Right? When that would happen? For sure. And you're like, let me go over here and grab something over here. Hold on. I mean, I got to show you guys something. All right. I'm going to put another coat on this while we're waiting. Simple. Are you worried I'm going to get you? Yeah. Yeah. You should be. All right. Done. Second coat's done. All right. You want to go back to face first since he's doing a little drying session. It's brighter than me. Hair dryer. Hair dryer. This is how I dry my hair. Beacon. Oh, yeah. If anyone has a cricket, you could cut out a template and use that for the signs. Yep. We did like little, what did you have? What was that vinyl you used? Wasn't like vinyl so much as like, yeah. You just hit the laser with it. But we used it. It's like, I don't know what kind of material would that be? Like, what can I give a good example? Like, I don't know what's plastic. Anyway, you made a little plastic template, not like a sticky one. You know those rollable? Like shelf paper. You know sleds? Oh, okay. It was thick like that. Snow sled. Or rollable shelf paper. Yeah, but thicker than that. It was like, I couldn't tear it. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it comes in like a roll. Yeah, it came in a roll. Anyway, we used it for that. That was for the marine sign so that we could, because that also needs another layer. We got to work on that one too, I feel like. Yep, you're going to be a minute waiting on that. Well, I can go and drive this with a hair dryer if you want to start glueing that. Merry Christmas. Yeah, I could do that. Merry Christmas. Oh, he could close by if you guys hear it. That's what he's doing. Now I'm looking for glue. That's glue. Got it. Yeah, I can at least put letters on. I could do that. But it might get quiet. Yeah. Made a little bachelorette party in on Sunday. And those girls were fun. That was a fun afternoon. Two of them did marine core signs. And then they went to dinner and they were going to do a canal tour. The canal's downtown Richmond. They're fun. Workshops are like the most fun thing we do. I think craft shows are fun, but workshops are even more fun. I like the social aspect of those things. Yeah, I love the workshops. They're fun. I play in my jams, hang out with the people, help with some signs. It's good times. Good times. Good times. Good times. Good times. All right, I'm going to let you look at comments while I do this. Since I can't really look up. Let's see what we got. Oh, Garrett is awesome. Thanks, everybody. Oh, and everybody agreed right after that. Oh, thanks for the reminder, everybody. Templates. Yeah, I like the Cricut for templates. I like the new Cricut. They can go like forever long. That was a lot nicer. Don't want the paintbrush. Yeah, don't want the paintbrushes have to be washed immediately. Yeah, I mean immediately. Like, as soon as that brush leaves the board, go wash it. Because this stuff dries so fast. Yes, this paint dries very fast. By the time I walk to the back to try to wash a brush, it is stiff. I love 20 minutes and Garrett is still painting the same thing when I left. The screen was frozen. The screen was... We were having buffering issues. I have a big 24 inch vinyl cutter that I've never used. Sames. We also have a 24 inch vinyl cutter. We used to use it. Yeah, we did. It had its day. You're going to block somebody. What else we got? That's awesome about the new paint line. I'm so excited. Here's our problem, and this is where we've kind of been stuck. Yeah. Naming it. We're trying to name our paint line. We don't want to name it K and G. Because I want to get it into Michaels eventually. Michael, buyer, if you're watching. I got some paints coming. I got mine, you! Anyway, I want to be able to put it in the store. And I like foxes, something foxy. Oh, I changed that. More whimsical, I made it. This side is different than this side. It's Caddy Wampus. Slightly askew. Did I get it right? Yeah, you got it right. Just as you went to put it in, I was like, each piece is a different size. Good thing I guessed right. You're good, babe, you're good. Oh, like Mylar. Yeah, it was like a thick Mylar Yes, thank you. I think it was like a 3mm Mylar that I was using for my templates. They were great. Did you? Yes, you did, never mind. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did. Resident Dragon Studios still love the name. See how I cut the middle out there? That way, save weight. Save weight. Cut the middle out of the tops up there, too. To get another glue and come in from this side. Yeah. I'll do it right around your thumb. I'll glue around your thumb. We're going to get this crew done in half the time. Half the time is my painting. Here's my tip on the glue. Don't just do one line. Try and make it because you want more surface area to be sticky. Yeah. Give it a wiggle and jiggle. It'll make your night complete. I don't even know where that's going. I don't know, it's a lyric from a song but I'm not sure what song. You're rigging your jiggle, you're making your night complete. It's a party of the year. Come and get the award. Here's a hint. It's like a long sharp sword. Wow. Oh, it's Rump Shaker. All right. I love that. I love that Jimmy Fox Shell Shazam I heard Jimmy Fox had some issues. Oh, it's getting me. Hold on, I gotta walk over here. It's got you in the clink. Sometimes the glue gets you. Sometimes the rhythm will get you. There you go. Grab these pieces. Three little birds. Three little birds. So, that's this guy. That's this guy. Singin' sweet songs The melody's pure This is my message to you This is my message to you I was just trying to get some of that glitter off. Lizzie kind of comes together fast. Yeah. That's the way I like it. You want it on the outside of this or on that? I'll put it on here. Then I could do the outside of this black frame. Ah, yeah. It's a quiet glue time. Yeah. It's not glue time. Making it fast. Alright, you guys. You're gonna have to give me your feedback on this. You're here, so let me know what you're thinking. How's this work? Do we like it? How much do you like it? Like a lot. Does it need to say something? I think maybe it might need to say something funny. Don't you think it needs to say something funny on there? Does this one say go away? Or does this one say go on get? A Christmas go on get. By humbug? Pro tip. You're gonna give another pro tip? Pro tip. If you ever get glue on your sign, you need to get it off. These wedge sponges work amazingly well. Just dab it off. Don't wipe it. Just dab it. And it works like a champ. Like Mike Tyson. Here's the glue to go. I don't know if you could see it. It's glaring. I don't feel like you're checking the comments. Oh, sorry. You're not conversing. That was helping with the gluing. Lois said Jamie Foxx did have a stroke. Oh, did he? I thought I heard something like that. Man. Seems like a good guy. Hope he comes back. I love this door sign. That's good. We got some positive feedback. Where did I miss about the AI? AI sucks. We're working on it. That stuff is horrid. You just don't know how to ask for the right thing. Excuse me every time. I'm gonna start posting some of the stuff that AI generates for me. He sent it to the family group chat. I sent it to the group chat. You guys want to see the AI things that I generate? He was looking for a fox. I'm looking for a fox logo. He had three legs. The thing that it gave me was anything but swift. He was hunched and he had three legs. He had three legs. The other one had no eyes. He was eating his own tail. There was blood in everything. All I put in there was ornamental fox logo. It was crazy. Crazy stuff. It had me laughing. I was here by myself. Helen says I'm interrupting you. I thought you were done. Now I'm done. Helen says she thinks the black squiggly would look better white. What do you think? Should it be white? I don't know. What do you guys think? Should it be white? So it's a little brighter? Maybe yellow. Michael said it came together nice but no dabbing. We're going to fix that. You know I hate painting inside lines. You know I do. When I first said hello it looked round like a half bulb. Looks good. It does look good. I just think maybe it needs to have a Grinch logo. Something Grinch related. I got the Grinch font. Maybe a head or some sort of icon. Something themed right here. I can put his hands holding the sign. Maybe I feel like we can do better. Babe We're going to try and break it before we ever You can't break that. That is three quarter inch thick right there. That's almost bullet proof. But it's not as heavy as you might think it is because these are all these are open. And then the inside of this was open. At least to save some weight. My new theme is weight saving. Because if I'm going deep on the layers I know I need to start saving some weight. So I'm trying to save some weight on these last batches. Put the black squiggle maybe closer to the edge. I had it close. She had it closer to the edge. I shrank it so the top would fit. Oh Yeah, I also was struggling with the top. He did make that look good. That was way better than what I had done. White I think to make the pop on the squiggle. A pop squiggle. Wiley said we need max. Oh man, I had a max in the works last year. I think you're going to have to finish that. Resident Dragon said yes, Grinch hands holding it would be so cool. That would be a good like knot. You guys know what I made last year but I never released. I made the Grinch Topper or the Grinch shelf standy. So it looks like the Grinch is on your shelf. It started as a door frame thing like he was at the top of your door frame. That was on my when I was on the corner door frame things. Things come and go. Michael is going to get in trouble. I think Rashida joined us. Rashida joined us. Say hello. And then you got a couple of ideas for Christian said you need mid journey. He's been there. Yeah, I've used mid journey. Mid journey is a little I've played with Adobe Firefly and mid journey. Mid journey is better right now. I'm going to go back hold on. I lost it. Make it and paint it. Make it and paint it. And then I meant there was another one. Fox blood paints. Fox blood paints. I don't know. Well I had an idea today. If you want to do a fox tail could be like a paint brush just dipped in paint. I could bring back the one that had no eyes that was eating his own tail. Did you tell him that already? I'll post it. It was disturbing. I'll post both of those. They're very disturbing. I hope I don't get like Facebook terms of service. Mandy said I think this would still be cute simplified with just the top and banner for a beginner design as well. What do you mean just the top of the banner? Oh like none of the spirals. I could leave it to say Merry Christmas. We'll figure it out. I'm going to tweak it a little bit. I'll give it some tweak-ins. But for now I'll make it available for as is. Alright friends.
