So be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and tick that bell to be notified of our new videos each week. This week we're going to be doing some peacocking at the craft show. Shaking our tail feathers, getting noticed. This was actually a request from one of our top tier patrons in our super secret top tier patron Facebook group. She posted out there that she had seen this at a craft show and could we make a version of this? It's like one of those hanging, like, retro style... Storefront signs, yeah. And we're in the thick of craft show season. We've got no design time, a lot of ideas, but no time. So we're going to try to make the easiest one that we've seen out there. Yeah. We've got some ideas already in the works for some others that are maybe a little more artistic versions of this hanging storefront sign. But those will wait till the spring. We'll do that video right before craft show season starts in the spring. But for now, this is something you can do in an hour to add some bling, some peacock. Some peacock. Peacock into your craft booth. I'm hoping it doesn't even take an hour. I have things to do. Step one, we're going to gather all of our supplies. For this version, we're going to use some half inch copper pipe. I have two sections, a 10 foot section and a five foot section. We think this will be strong enough, rigid enough that when we hang our sign, it won't flex too much. And it'll be durable enough that we can travel with it and it won't get messed up as we take it to show after show. And as it ages, it will only look more beautiful with that poppin' patina. We're going to use these corner brackets that are just pressing because I'm not a plumber and she's not a copper smith. I'm not a copper smith. These will just slide in and should be permanent. We're going to cut our pipe with this pipe cutter. We'll just run it around the thing until it pops off apparently. And then we're going to use these Velcro straps. This is how we're going to hang our sign. We're actually going to attach it at the top and bottom of the pole. We have a little copper end cap. We're going to put this on the end so that this won't gather any dust or debris or rocks gravel for outdoor shows. And then finally, we have this shark bite tee thing. We're going to use this to make this thing a little versatile so we can use it indoors or outdoors. I think that is it. Step two! We're going to make all of our cuts. We're going to start cutting down our pipe. And I'm not going to try to saw a straight line so we're going to use this little pipe cutter. We're just going to put it on and run it around until the pipe breaks apart I think. That's the plan. That's the plan. We're going to start by cutting a 62 inch section out of this. This will be our long pole for when we're outdoors. Then we'll cut a 25 and then two 14's and then a 25 and a 12 out of the shorter one. We'll show you. 23 inches of slack for mistakes. Alright, let's see what you got. Alright, let's do it. Ooh, do we have a sharpie? That's what I was going to say. You need a sharpie. That's so funny. I don't, but I have this nice teal pen. This is close. It might get confusing with the patina. Good. What did you say, 62? 62. Mark me. There you go. Marked. You are marked. These are our 225's. Those are going to be the top and the bottom. This is going to be the sides. Wow, this seems short. We got that measured correctly. Oh yeah, that looks good. That looks good. That's big. Okay. Alright. All together with some pressing. We're going to press it into these fittings right here. I'm sure that's pretty easy too. That was super easy. This might be one of the easiest assemblies of all time. Does it come back out? It comes back out. Do you have to press it with something? I don't know. You have to turn it. I was afraid of, I thought they were permanent. I bet you have to crimp them. Crimping tool. That's even better than I can really take it apart. Disassemble it. Stay together. Yeah, that's a good question. It's wobbly. I don't think she's got it. We googled it and it looks like we need a crimping tool to crimp these things. I thought they'd just be like push and play. I'm going to try some vice grips and if those don't work, some big pliers. I don't know. These are called channel locks. Let's see if the vice grips work. I'm going to crimp it on this. So there is a whole tool that we can purchase, but I'm hoping not to have to purchase that tool. For what we're doing, right? Yeah, for what we're doing. I'm not purchased. I thought those were going to be cheap. I'm going to keep it cheap. Thank you for all four sides. How did you get your finger? What's underneath them? This crimped is all we need for what we're doing. It doesn't have to hold water. Let's try it without most of mine. This is how we do things around here folks. Sometimes we get... I mean, if you can't fix it with a hammer or some vice grips or duct tape, it's beyond repair. It's just beyond repair. What if I just smack it with a hammer? Just smack it with a hammer. Think so? I think we should try it. Push it together. Yeah, because it definitely wasn't playing with it while you were on. I mean, if it's windy, we're in trouble. For playing D, we're going to try some JB Weld. We're going to take it apart, mix up the JB Weld, stick it up in the hole, and then try to fit it back in. But, now some of them are kind of stuck. Not to do. Now you know what not to do. Right. Don't try to crimp it unless you have the tool. Do we start crimping? Let's suck it together. Wait, I think we should... Okay. What? Have a paper towel ready. Do you need some gloves? Do you think you should put some gloves on? I don't plan on touching it. Wait, hold that, I guess. You're supposed to see in the ends. I don't think that's a good... I wasn't planning on touching it. Hold that two by four down there. The JB Weld, that worked. That did the trick. Yes, it's nice and sturdy now. It's not bendy. It's great. This is great. Now it's good to take 24 to 48 to fully cure. No, four to six. Oh, right, right, right. Four to six hours, fully cured. Okay, so now we have this super long tail that we're going to trim down to 15 inches. This should just give us enough to zip tie to the tent. It's two-fold. One, I don't want to carry a very long pole with me every time we go somewhere. I don't want to have to, if we're having to walk across a park, carry this giant flag with me. I don't want to be marching down the street with it, bring it to my show, and then suddenly have a pack of Cub Scouts following me. It's the last thing I need. So the plan is this piece, the short pole and the signpost will go in a wagon with the signs and be great. I think we'll be able to carry that no problem. And we'll be able to use this shark bite, which he's cutting this off. Oh, good. We can show that right now. Just in time. Yeah, just in time. Oh, it's not fully cured yet. Twisted a little bit. Now we're going to use the shark bite here because this is removable. So I'll be able to take it on and off. But you said I need a tool that I didn't get. Yeah, did you happen to get the tool? No, I didn't know I needed the tool. Okay, so it's not currently removable. And it's a T because we had, we had debates on how we were going to do this. Yeah, we thought we might put the T here, but then I wasn't sure if the weaning... All right, what am I doing? I think you just really push it on there. All right. That's it. Now do you want to put this bottom on now and show them? Well, you get the gist. So the idea is that we're going to put this pole on here. And now with the... Yeah. That should be the bottom of the canvas of the tent. Right. This is the end of the legs at the canvas. That's right. This is going to stick out into the aisle and the... Oh, what are we doing here? I almost got stuck. You're jingling on there. I'll be able to zip tie the whole pole to the tent poles, the tent legs. So I'll be able to zip tie this or velcro it, right? I think we're going to use the velcro straps. We'll be able to velcro this to the pole. We'll also be able to... Velcro this to the pole so it won't be related on this piece. Right. All the weight is not going to be there. We're going to velcro it up here, velcro it down below. And then we'll be able to use this on the tent as well as an indoor show. We'll be able to velcro this to the pegboard standards that we have. So, yeah, I think now I guess I'm going to let you go for your next step. Sorry, I was about to take your thunder. We're a time to make the sign. We're going to take some quarter inch MDF over to the laser and cut out our logo and our little frame to go with it. Now this sign has to be double-sided because you'll be able to see this from any direction because it'll be sitting out into the aisle. So this will be the first time we've created a double-sided sign. So we cut out the logo on the first half and I tried to leave the board where it was and flipped just the piece, but it really didn't fit. But I scored that sign anyway. I scored both sides. And we're using our Foxy Hughes paints. This is outdoor acrylic paint. So this is UV resistant, weather resistant, and we'll be able to hang that and it'll be fine hanging on our booth indoors or out. And we use Starbond thick to hold everything together because we knew it would be outside. We knew we wanted something water resistant and be able to fill in all the cracks and hold that sucker for a couple of years or until I break it. Step five, we're going to attach the sign. We got our double-sided sign. Looks the same on both sides. Look at that. I think it looks cool. We haven't done one like this before. It doesn't seem too heavy. I think we're okay. We're going to use some Velcro straps to now secure the sign in between the top and bottom piece. I have cut them, but these are too long. Let's just see. We'll do it on the fly. What do we need? I don't know what we need. I guess we have to just eyeball the center. I can see it in the monitor over there. I don't know if it was up high. I think you would catch your eye. Yeah, I think it would. I don't have to hold it up that high. I do. I got to see it. I got to visualize. I'm happy with that. Trins, we love you guys. That is the best way to support this channel.

I got to go get some work done. You got to stop fooling around. And we will see you next week where we'll do it building and make it again. And this is a good one. Oh no. We'll have to go in this way. No way. No way. And we'll do it in England. Oh my gosh. I really am surprised you could balance that. You guys want to see the logo? Yeah, there's the logo. All right. Let's let it cure.
