 We just made this Halloween haunted mansion inspired front porch leaner and we did it using our X-Tool P2 pass-through. We'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder and make it? So do we. And we have new videos each week, every Tuesday and Friday. And this week we're getting into my favorite season. Yeah, that's right. It is kickoff to fall, but not just fall. We've got to start with Halloween because that is our favorite. That is definitely Garrett's favorite. That is my jam right there. Halloween. I love everything about it. The colors, the smells, the candies, the movies. What's not to love? So this week we went to the movies ourselves and we watched Haunted Mansion. Pretty good movie. And we decided to make a porch leaner inspired by our little adventure. I was going to make a Barbie joke. Oh, make your Barbie joke. You were supposed to say inspired by a movie. Inspired by a movie. But not Barbie because you can't make a Barbie Halloween porch leaner. I don't know. You probably could. One, we're going to gather all of our supplies. We needed some six foot pickets. These are the smooth ones, the dog ear. And they're pressure treated. So they're great for an outdoor porch leaner. Then we needed the smaller three foot picket. We're going to use this as our cross brace and the six foot as the backer. We needed some quarter inch MDF. This is what we're going to cut our design out of. We needed some original gorilla glue. This will help us stick the boards together and make sure they're stuck for good. And we also needed some star bond thick. This is what we'll use to glue all the MDF pieces together. We'll use some outdoor house paint to paint all of the top pieces. Also keeping it weatherproof. And we get some other tools we'll be using later. Step two. Guess who's back? Back again. Pocket's back. Teleframe. We're going to make all of our cuts. So we're going to start with the six foot picket. We're going to cut it down to 60 inches or five foot. And then we're going to take the smaller picket and cut it into three 11 inch pieces. Now our pickets happen to already be stained. I'm sure you'll notice that's because I happen to have these in the back stained and ready to go. Perfect for this project. So it's going to save us one little step here. But we are going to stain this little guy so that you can see the process. Some staining is better than all staining. I hate staining. Safety first Kim. I got you Garrett. Garrett couldn't find his my blue glasses. So I said just wear the pink ones. He's a rose colored. Yeah it makes everything happy. I am so happy now. Yes that's what I always tell him. The pink makes things happier. It's like there's your Barbie. Oh there's my Barbie moment. Yeah. I'm sure that was on zero. Got to scoot your dome back. Getting that camera up today. Might be a little rusty. Less of a Salisman now. Your Salisman. Quarter inch MDF over to the laser. Now we're going to cut out our design. We're just going to stain our three little pieces now. And we're going to use this Varathane's Briar Smoke. I just found these in the back too. So I already sustained and ready to go. That means no staining. This is so efficient today. This project is turning out great. It's a cruel reality isn't it. It's about happier. Optical pros. You're going to do the rest of the video with your Barbie glasses on. I think so. It's feeling good. I'm feeling happy. In a Barbie world. Let me go get the kit. All right we have our kit. It's falling apart. Falling out of its frame already. But we're just going to separate it into its colors and paint it. Right? Yeah. What's wrong? You're looking overwhelmed. It does. It looks like a few pieces. Let's see. Hold on. I got to flip it. This is like a two in an omelet or something. Trust me. I had a wall. It shouldn't be too bad to paint. I think it's just these little bolts. All right. It touched itself. It's done. Oh look at you freaking herky weeds. Oh I was so clever that I built them into the hat. That's right. I forgot. Maybe I should take these off. They're making me kooky. Make a Ken joke. Making you kooky. It's feeling kooky. That was very funny. Okay so you've cut it in a top half and bottom half. It's not all 48 inches or 60 inches or something. You can cut every piece in a 24 inch bed. Nice. Nice. It should be easy. Just like three colors right? Yeah. Just have to separate them a little bit. And then it's going to be the same three colors for the skull. Now if you're new to our channel and you haven't watched us paint a kit before, you'll see that we're using these four inch foam rollers with the handles and we're reusing our little bags especially this time of year. It is Halloween and well it is fall Halloween too but it is fall and we are reusing and these rollers all day every day making kit after kit sign after sign for our craft shows. I mean sometimes that roller doesn't even get put away. It's seriously though. That white one? That white one for sure. Yeah. We're using these FIFO bottles which you can find in our store kngmaker.com and we're going to put them on this little, put our paint on these little paper plates. Easy cleanup. We'll reuse these as well during this project. I mean they don't save day after day. Not like the rollers do. Why does he have glitter on him? What is happening with this little guy? I don't know. He's been places. He seems to be. Who knows what he's been. I'm going to bring it all together. We're going to assemble it. We're going to use a little bit of gorilla glue and then a one inch brad. The nail not the guy. We're going to attach our little 11 inch pieces to the top, middle and the bottom. Yeah. No need to be exact here. We're just putting some braces, just top, middle, bottom. Just trying to keep it from warping even more. Yeah. One of them is a little bit warped. We're just going to use a little bit of gorilla glue because this does puff up. We're just under $25 and these go for about 65 and our neck of the woods. Right. These pickets, since we used pickets, they were about 350 each. So we have about $7 in pickets for the vertical ones and then for the cross braces another three bucks. So that puts us $10 in wood and then for the MDF, we have about $12 in the MDF. So we estimated just under $25 in materials. That's right. And then yeah, we sell them for about $65. This one was pretty easy to paint. Three colors makes it easy to paint and he looks really cool. Well, I wanted him to look cool. I didn't need him looking all cutesy and inviting. Yes. That is exactly what he said. He didn't want a cutesy sign. So I think you achieve that. I think he does look really cool. And I mean, are you guys thinking, have you been thinking this whole time because it didn't hit us until afterwards? Why did we not paint the green and glow in the dark paint? What were we thinking? What did we miss? What else did we miss? How else would you have spiced this guy up? Right, these ghosts? The glitter back there, something? They need something. I feel like they're so cool looking. They need to pop somehow. They need to pop somehow. I know you've got some great ideas. Let us know what they are. And did you know that we have a Kim and Garrett After Dark podcast as well as a super secret Facebook group, free SDGs and a monthly Zoom call? You can find it all. Just search for Kim and Garrett, make it. And these guys know. We love you guys. These are our patrons over here. All right, let's see. Let's see what you got. Yeah. Because you can't see the whole thing in the camera. We finally have something I can balance. It's going to break two lasers at one time. Let's go break a knee. I'm not a spring chicken.
