 We just made this four-foot gnome sweet gnome porch leaner and it's priced to sell. We'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do you like to do a builder make it so do we and we have a new video each week So be sure to like and subscribe and hit that bell to be notified of our new videos each week this week The customer is always right and they are demanding some front porch leaners Kind of yes and our workshops here lately We've had what three or four in a row where someone has said do you guys do workshops on these? Which is our vertical porch leaners? So we knew we have to create a new vertical porch leaner workshop We had some back in December, but we only had a couple of participants at those So I think spring is it it's that time of year So we're gonna make us a new spring porch leaner this week and this is a great project to make if you make crafts to sell If you're gonna sell these at a farmers market there They have a great profit margin and they sell really well, so I think we can do both with it We can do workshops and we can take it to the craft shows. I think so too Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies We needed a one by 12 by four foot because there's a four-foot porch leaner Typically we make a six foot porch leaner and we use our fence pickets But we found that those are a little cumbersome for us to bring to craft shows So we're gonna try these four foot leaners for a bit so you can still use your fence pickets to make these I would just cut them down a little bit, but we had this on hand So we're gonna use this one by 12. It's just as easy six Also take up a bit more room when we're trying to hold workshops You fit less people at a table when you're using this yes, this board is like excuse me pardon me excuse me We needed some quarter inch MDF. This is what we're gonna cut the top pieces out of this is what our gnome and words are gonna be cut out of We also needed some paint Some rollers Some wood glue some wood glue we're gonna use a little of our star bond where we're gluing MDF to MDF But if we're gluing pieces straight to our wood board, we're gonna use the wood glue. It's a little bit cheaper Step two We're gonna make all of our cuts. I'm gonna bring the quarter inch MDF over to our omtech desktop polar laser And we're gonna cut this out. I'll meet you over in light burn Here we are in light burn. We're going to import our SVG Now this comes in in three sections. Everything is selected We're gonna hover over the center drag this down so that the first section is on our cut board We're gonna highlight just that section. We're gonna change our settings blue for us is always score So we're gonna change that speed to 200 and We're going to change max power to 25 Cut is red. So we're gonna change that speed to 7.5 Max power to 70. We're gonna set min power to 70 as well. We want to keep it consistent Then we're gonna go ahead and frame it. Well, we're gonna put a board in there first. Yeah Let's let's add our board first Now we framed it. We're gonna hit start So with light burn it cuts in the layer order So you notice that the blue layer was on top so it's gonna score everything first the red layer was next So then it'll cut everything in the red layer second We're gonna add our second board We're gonna slide the whole thing to the left and Now everything for the second cut is in our cut area We'll frame it and hit start for this one we really didn't need the camera as much because The cuts really fit well on the board. You can really see if it's in the cut area We don't need the precision of the camera And these cuts look beautiful It's cuts like butter Yeah, my hype man. All right, we're aligning the third section and we'll put our board in We'll frame it same settings for the score in the cut. We'll just frame and hit start Step three time to paint. We're gonna pay our one by 12 Black we're gonna start by painting that one and we are using exterior house paint So this one by 12 is not pressure treated the the nice thing about using the pickets is they are pressure-cheated and meant for Outdoors this really isn't meant for outdoors But if you have a covered porch, this is gonna be just fine sitting outside, especially sealed with a six-tier your house paint so One of the things we do To kind of keep cost down is reuse our rollers. We save them in little baggies. We use just regular old kitchen Ziploc baggy sandwich bags This happens to be some ones that we had for something else But I love how small they are they're the perfect size, but they're not as affordable as just your regular old sandwich bags so we also can Use these and put our little rollers in without having to get our hands messy by just popping up the top a little hole on top here, but on your handle on and We're ready to go. No fuss. No mess And then for this one, I'm just gonna go ahead and squeeze the paint right onto the board and paint from there We have all of our little MDF pieces that are cut out We'll do these next. I am gonna finish both sides of this board I'll move you paint maybe you'll move in pain. I'll move in pain I'm not even gonna do this with an apron. That's how confident it is pro-level Actually, I would recommend an apron like evil keneal without a helmet right there All right, I can see I got over zealous with the paint. There's I'm pulled again. I've got too much paint You went in too deep. Yeah, I'll turn it over and hold it All right, go ahead. Okay You need more paint on that roller. I need a little more. Yeah, I got you right back over. All right, you all fall back over It's working out great Not very efficient, but it's working. Yeah, this isn't the most efficient way to paint the board It was jinxed yourself with your no Schmuck comment. See this is this is team painting right here team painting. Yeah, we're gonna enter the team painting of now Before I just gonna hold it up. Are you gonna hold it out? You know me do the sides and then do the back in a minute Yeah, I'll just hold it will be like the whole thing strategic Where those little diamond things this is the most inefficient way to paint But it will get the job done. Oh, I mean Switch my hands Okay, I cannot stop it Like there's a circus painting It is a little bit of circus painting. Maybe this is efficient because we didn't have to wait look at me Yeah, I did both sides at one time. Now. I am a little Pro tip of the day grab a partner and make them hold the other side for you Pro tip do it do it in doubles You do double painting. I can get two done in the time of one Oh, look at you. Don't don't jinx me. Go getcha. Don't getcha. You got my hand Pretty good Flip it up. Come on. What up? I want to get the other side. Oh this side I thought you're gonna finish this back end here. Yeah, we're gonna get more paint over there But I have enough to do the sides. I don't like it too easy. I barely got any on the paper really close to my hands. Oh You've might be too much Think about these FIFO bottles, is there a really great We're just rushing me over here to store your paint in but sometimes you just cannot get the perfect pour out Sometimes too way too much. Should you give him those Hulk mania squeezes? That's a problem My arm's tired. You got your arms tired Is it burning? No, it's okay. Okay. Give us top part over here You purposely bumped my knuckles. I'm not. What am I supposed to do? I had to get it all the way to the end. You're doing like Paint roller fist bumps. Okay And I don't have either. Wait, uh-uh, uh-uh. All right. Yeah, I'm gonna grab it this way Do as I say now as I do. Yeah, this is Danger painting maybe tag team painting isn't the best. All right. I'll go set this aside I gotta get the I'm sorry. I gotta get the top in the bottom. What does that mean? Well, your hands are then I won't be able to put it down. I'll come back. Yeah Make sure you seal the top Step three and a half. We're still painting, but we're gonna paint all over a little MDF pieces now Using the same roller technique No, not using that same more technique well Not as deep as that last Similar We will not be tag teaming this this round. You don't want me to hold this round will be a single person round. All right, get it That was definitely a Circus show. All right So here we're gonna add a little what we call our sticky tape palette here I just made that up So we're just laying a few pieces of tape face up sticky side up Taping them down at the top in the bottom so we can add our little pieces to it So when we roll them, they don't they don't move we can just roll right over them And I can paint multiples at one time So when we actually do use the rollers correctly, we use a paper plate And We don't put the paint directly in the middle. We don't give it a good squirt in the middle We do put it at the top of the plate Whatever the top may be on a circle pick a top and then we just grab a little bit down and Try to get a nice even spread on the roller Maybe not in your hand like that Circus trick days circus day here at K&G lab You have a nice even coat on there. Not the two goopy And just give it some white rolls now with this yellow and probably gonna need several coats I think you should yeah tape that down This takes a little setup. Usually when you're painting one of our kits it Patience is a virtue here You just want to take a few minutes to set up separate by color and that's gonna make your painting much faster You'll be able to put multiple coats on there and be done For watching today and remember you can support us by going to our store at K&G make it calm where we offer hundreds of kits SVGs all of the supplies we use and paints Step four hunt to assemble We're gonna use some wood glue to glue these little MDF pieces to the wood But then we're gonna use some star bond super glue to glue the pieces together like Any MDF pieces. Yeah MDF to MDF will use star bond MDF to the wood backer will use wood glue, right? Wish that's it. We'll start by laying it out. Make sure we know where everything's gonna go And then we'll flip it over and glue it and flip it right back into place Last coat of paint made it too thick Whoever did that last coat? How about that first coat? The first coat was nearly perfect Whoever did that last coat? That was the last coat Wapping $42 in profit right here. Oh $42 an hour. That's what I consider. $42 an hour. Yeah, that's not a bad chunk of change We've been giving Garrett a hard time for saying chunk of change And I think at four foot. It's a nice size. It's a manageable size We'll be able to take him to the craft shows a little easier People will be able to take him from the craft show a little bit easier. Oh, yeah That was the other problem when they left the workshop for the six foot one She was like, I don't think I can get this in my car. Yeah, so this will be a little this will be a easier trap Well, this one will fit in someone's trunk. No excuses No excuses So we'll break down the costs on this one. Yep. So all in on materials is about $23 It was 13 for the one by 12 and it was about what seven or eight for the MDF and then the rest was paints We just guessed so yeah, two or three well three dollars for the paints is what I said But you know, we talked about doing the pickets so the pickets are still an option Pickets right now in our area for the premium pickets are four dollars each So that's eight dollars for the two pickets and then the cross braces that go on the back That's a two dollar picket. So that's about ten dollars. So if you use pickets They are pressure-treated exterior pickets. So that's one plus plus they're a little bit cheaper So you're coming in at $13 for this one board or you come in at $10 on the other one and put in the little elbow grease Yes, but for our workshops, I think we're gonna just go with this because I think it saves them a little bit of time. There's gonna be enough time for them to paint this kit We can paint this kit pretty quickly. We can do it in 30 minutes 45 minutes Yeah, so the time was about 30 minutes actually came in just under 30 minutes and then the paint was about 20 minutes and then to assemble it was about another 10 So all in for an hour and they sell in our area for about $65 So yeah, so we got our $42 now if you're gonna count your own time and your laser's time You know might be a little more expensive We have our little pricing calculator if you remember we did a video pricing crafts to sell And we have a little pricing calculator on our website. If you go to the little search bar Kng make it comm go to the search bar type in calculator You'll see pricing calculator and for that we typed in material costs of $23 labor cost we did $15 an hour for the painter and then $15 per hour for our laser, which we only calculated at 750 because it was a half an hour I did a 50% profit margin that puts our total cost at 45 50 profit at 2275 and the new price sales price here was calculated at 68 25 We are saying 65 so we're in the ballpark We'll eat some of that labor cost But I think if we're chunking these out and doing them in batches maybe five or six at a time We can get that labor cost down Yeah, and you could probably paint one while one's cutting. Yeah, that's nice and easy, too And we are about out of time So if you're not gonna join us over on patreon where we have a bunch of extra content free SVGs a monthly zoom call where we get to meet you and most importantly the after show So if you're not gonna join us for the after show, we will see you next week where we'll do it build it and make it again And I like these Yeah, you haven't had much balance lately way easier to balance. They don't hit the roof No, no hitting the ceiling with this little guy right here. Look at him. He is so cute I am very happy with it. Whoa. He almost gave me a smooch
