 We just made the easiest tabletop signpost and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back? Do you like to do it build it or make it? So do we we have new videos each week this week's gonna be a good one We're making tiny tabletop signposts like our big porch post or we're gonna shrink it down So we'll sit on a table We've been making these 10 inch rounds that we've been taking to breweries and things where we want to do a little workshop But we don't have a ton of space and we're bringing these 10 inch signs We're also taking them to craft shows and I want a great way to display them We've been using this little stand here, which has been fine, but I want something with a little more His ass to it something a little cuter. So our original thought is to make it laser cut We'll probably use some quarter inch MDF But we're afraid that with those multiple layers on the sign Eventually it would get droopy even if we use some braces and backers I Still think it would get droopy and floppy and wouldn't look good over time Well, and I couldn't come up with a design a braced design that Really gave the look and feel that I was going for so we think we came up with a better design and this design Includes our old friends pocket and brand Step one we're gonna gather all over supplies. We weren't sure what we needed We had an idea of what we wanted so we decided to take a trip over to the local hardware store Yeah, we had to do some real-time gathering of some supplies We started in the dowel section because we knew we needed the post and we found this great two by two by 12 inch posts. This is perfect This is kind of the mini version of the four by four that we used in our last project And then while we were there we were looking for a finial We knew we needed something to go on top and Last time we used a sofa foot and we found this perfect little sofa foot that we think is going to be The right size. We're really not sure. We're working on this. This is real-time gathering here from there We went over to the decking section Yeah, the decking section and we looked for some post caps. We found these little post caps They're four by fours, but when I set them up to the post here, it looks perfect They're gonna be great. You know what? I like these post caps better than trying to do my own trim around the little two by two piece Yeah, we don't yeah tiny little trim. We thought these bases might be a little too thin though Or not wide enough to hold the sign so we got us a half inch board and what two feet So I'm just gonna make it a little bit wider than the post caps And I think that's gonna make a sturdy base to hold the ten inch sign Now what we couldn't find was the perfect hook So I had to talk Garrett into heading over to the Hobby Lobby and Finding the perfect little hook because I know they have a great section. Yeah those hooks. I can spend all day in that section We found this perfect little hook. It's just small enough to fit on a post And then I went over to their dowel section and where they have all of their little finials And we found a couple of more things that I thought we could use go ahead. What do you got there? It is a finial it is just a tinier version of the finial so we've got the large one And we've got this small one. So that's an actual finial. Yeah, and look look He's not buying that this is called a finial. What does that say curtain? Oh finial So I have a small one. I have a large one We're gonna see which one looks the best at the end and then I also found these little 20 doll pin stands and I think that Garrett's wearing on his fingers I think they're gonna be feet for this thing. It's gonna give it just a little more height so that that ten inch stand Has room to hang class and yeah, I think class is about maybe just a little bit. I Will need some wood glue some paint stain and some brown nails Step two We're gonna make all of our cuts I should have just said cut because we're making one cut. This is a half by six inch So it's actually five and a half inches wide. So we're gonna cut it at five and a half inches Make it square. Yeah, I thought we were gonna have to cut a dowel down but because we found this at exactly 12 inches and These are already cut. I think there's only one cut in this project And I bet you can find something that's a five by five. Oh, yeah, this is what we sure if you look a little harder You can find it. We're gonna make all of our cuts with body pocket saw Who always makes a grand entrance with all of that you're so tiny keeping them in my back pocket right next to my wallet Safety first cap we paint and stain we're actually gonna stain then paint and then distress Right, we're gonna do this kind of like we did our other one Because I like to look at that one So we're gonna stain everything first and let it dry a little bit and then we're gonna paint everything with a coat of White white. I think white. Yeah, and then once the white paint is dry We're gonna stand it. So I'm gonna hit the corners and stuff to make it look more Distressed like this. See this thing's seen some things been around town. It's not new It's not new I found this out back I did that I mean I shook it We're not all professional paint shakers Tim Right, you're like the machine over there. Why are you shaking it upside down? Please flip it over Well, I was trying to get all the stuff on the bottom I think it's done. That was very stressful Stain's all dry and now we're just gonna give it a coat of white paint We're gonna use foxy hues ash adventure And give everything a thin coat of white paint. Some of our pieces have 72 coats on them When I wasn't looking Garrett kept coming in and putting Additional coats on the finial. I didn't know it was supposed to be a one coat pony Well, there's two coats on everything. I did just put two coats on it Because I want to distress it. I'm gonna give it that distressed look. So I'm gonna need Uh, I don't want too many layers of paint. I want to be able to get some of the paint off I'll get the paint off Yeah, I don't know what we're gonna do with that. I'll get the paint off. That looks like bedroom furniture. It looks great I did a good job. You did? You did. The great thing about these post post caps Is that they already have a hole drilled in it. So this bun foot should be able to pretty much screw right in there Or will you need to I'm gonna try to ram it in there. Just gonna ram jam it right in there An antique show. I'm satisfied. I was walking by the Black parking lot and I was like, oh, what's that? It's a gem. You're gonna keep that. You put that right in your pocket Find a sofa foot pick it up all day long. Good luck. All right. Nice Time to assembly We're gonna bring it all together with a little bit of wood glue and an inch and a quarter brad The nail not the guy We're gonna start from the bottom and work our way up So first we're gonna attach our feet onto the little board Now we're gonna do this. We're Playing this by ear Now i'm gonna use both star bond and wood glue Only because I want to continue to build this for video purposes You would just use the wood glue. I think The star bond isn't gonna hold it a long time But it might make it an immediate bond so that I can keep building keep keep it moving keep it moving Kim So I'm gonna put a little on the inside here And Now I'm gonna add the wood glue to each of these You want them right up to the edge? Let me start placing them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much right up to the edge Okay, yeah, just slide that out of the way. I'm gonna set that aside It's the bottom one while we start building this. It's gonna be the bottom. Yes, that's the bottom So we'll throw some glue up on here Now this we're gonna use the nail to kind of hold it temporarily. We won't need the super glue here Star bond. What does that look like? Absolutely not I was gonna say now, how are you gonna center that? Yeah This way Look good. Looks good. That looks good. I think I can flip it. I think maybe Uh-huh, uh-huh Don't do it Did it slide? No I think it's perfect. Yeah There's ends up crooked It's all Kim's fault. Do it again. That's not going anywhere Try to do this again. That was just going this way or this way Um, we talked about it you and I And I think we decided To do it the other way That way not that way. Do you think it should go that way? This way Yeah Or this way This way Or this way this way That we just said I'm confused now. I did it too many times Um, we had decided when we did this before we played this game earlier to go this way because of the finial Yeah, okay. Yeah I mean either way looks great And I think maybe it would depend on what finial you're using But I think there are lots of options here. So if you make this you're gonna have to Send us a picture and let us know What what wait, wait, what's happening here? I'm setting it in there. Okay Right. Is that looking even everywhere? Yes With the old finger measure The old finger measure. Does it feel about right? Feels pretty good It feels pretty good It doesn't have to be fast, you know you're wrong. It does have to be fast Here's wait. Here's my other question What? We're good. I want to know if I'm gonna need to drill a hole All right. All right I'm gonna glue this piece on or should I nail the fecon first? I mean nail the fecon first I don't know are you gonna have to I think there's right Release crank that thing down Crank it down on what? I think either way. Yes, that's the bottom I mean it's not holding a real 16 inch sign It's just gonna hold a little 12 or Why are you dainty with the glue? Why are you so heavy with the glue? Don't be a gorilla with the glue kid I just think it needs to get all the way out here to the edges. Oh, yeah I guess it does need to be out on there. Oh my goodness. This is so cute already All right, looks good Should I try to flip it? Yes You gotta take it weightless To give it a good flipping Well, I think it moved Oh, what are you doing? This oh, okay, never mind. That's a piece that I can't fix. It's actually a little further this side than it is this side Where this is closer to here than it is here on what this piece or this the column on this block You think so? I think we're gonna have to measure Okay, pretty dead eye over here Kim. Oh dead eye All right, I don't see if this thing will fit in there All right, do you want to put a little wood glue in there? Not yet. Let me see if that'll screw it We're just swinging this part. Oh, wait. I think I got it Did it grip it? Oh look there. That's great All right. All right. I'll put a little glue on there now On the base of the finial Yeah, that way nobody can steal my finial Don't be trying to take my finial Yeah, I feel like he was hiding it It's like a magic trick. Is he actually screwing it or not? Why is it crooked? It'll it'll even out. It'll even out. All right. It'll even out Oh, look at that There we go. Look at this little column. That's beautiful. Now we just need to add A hook on this thing? Yeah, so we got a couple different ones of Hobby Lobby. I really like this one But it's a little wider than the column so I don't think I can use that No No All right. Well, this one is You probably didn't need to go to Hobby Lobby for this because it's pretty basic and we're going to need two tiny screws This could have done just thumbtack Probably I didn't uh, I didn't grab any screws. It didn't come with screws So I guess we gotta go look for some screws. No, I'll go find some screws No, yeah, let me hold it. Let me hold it As a matter of fact, why don't we Glue it. All right. Yeah, sounds good. I say right about there Sounds good. Where'd you sign? Right over there You want me to test it? Yeah I wasn't sure how long my hanger should be Hold on. Perfect. Okay Maybe up just a wee bit if it'll go And that's it Okay, okay, my goodness that is so cute That's perfect. Yeah, that does look perfect. Hold on In my own work Good. I like the little feet. Feet really set it up. The whole thing sets it off I like it What do you think? Came out pretty nice, right? Yes. Pretty easy also Yeah, I think so while we were putting this together I was talking to Garrett. I think this would be a great workshop. Yeah, I definitely think this would be a great workshop It was easy. It was quick. It's one cut I think this is perfect for a workshop and there's so many different ways you can do the 10 inch science to hang there Oh, yeah, so many different ways you could do it. We can give them different finial tops and stuff And I think if you price it right, I think you could do like a monogram 10 inch monogram to start with You could probably do the monogram and the post in the 90 minute period. I think that's doable All right. Well, we are about out of time So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show We will see you next week. We will do it build it and make it again I hope it might be your Kim I think I can flip it over. Yes, go for it. I'll let you flip this one I really thought you'd catch it with your finger. Oh, you think I can yeah, I can Oh, oh, I'll take it
