 What is up? A welcome back. Do you like to do it, Bill, or make it? So do we. We have a new video, new videos each week, every Tuesday and Friday. That's two and five. This week, we're doing a little, uh, our own version of all of the horror characters. Kim's not into it again. She's not a big horror film fan. I haven't seen any of them, none of them. Friday, we tried to watch, like, a horror comedy and she heard horror and there was a little bit of gore. She's like, I can play my game. Yeah. I was like, no, it doesn't pick something else. But that's, she is, like, haunted mansion is as deep as she gets with horror films. And that was skirting the line. That's not true. That's not true. All right. Well, and I worked on one. It's just not ready yet. I tried to quickly put it into a cut file, but that did not happen in time for Test Cut Tuesday. So quite the week. I actually have two for next week that I already have design and who knows what he'll come up with for next week too. We had fire, flood, no power. We've had anything that could happen. Well, don't you want to say your hello? Oh, yeah. I was just getting into it. Yeah. Getting right into it. Where's my new magic mirror? Anybody see our social media or Instagram or Facebook story today? This table was a mess here 15 minutes ago. Let's see who we got. Oh, and I see Helen and Brandy and Tyra and Diane and Steve and Jennifer and Chuck V. Kimberly Lance. What's happening? I'm going to say what it makes. Jerry, Bob, Christian, Vance. It's Trudy. Nice job. I'm getting everybody's trucker names. Ashton. I see Manuela, Rick. I see Scott, Hamel, Renee, Chantel, Bernice. Oh, there's a bunch of you. Lori, Mark, Cassandra, Lois, Terry. Oh, you miss Bernice. Tasha. I think I hit Bernice. Oh, maybe. Oh, Lisa, Jeff, Jason. What is happening? Jason and Tracy. Everybody hit that like button real quick. Give me a little bit of thumb exercise. All right. You guys want to hear about our week? Yeah. Our week of biblical proportions. He's dying to tell you about what's been going on today. It's only Tuesday. I haven't had any time to design because from Friday until literally like an hour ago, it's been laser maintenance, like crazy week, crazy week. Like starting Friday, our ceiling was leaking and everything on the right side of the warehouse is wet. Started with that. And while we were trying to clean up from that, actually, no, I just sat down from moving all the stuff away from the water, just sat down and they come in and they're like, Hey, we need you on laser three. I was like, okay. And then somebody else came in. I think it was Kim. It was like, there's a fire on laser three. So I get up and I go out there. You know, two people have come and told me by now. So I'm thinking somebody put the fire out by now. That was last week. Yeah, that was last week. The fire is still going. That was like Friday. No, Thursday. No, yeah. I don't know. It may be having even happened before last week's test cuts Tuesday or maybe it was Wednesday. Well, I just got finished fixing it. Yeah. So it was charred like dripping plastic charred. Well, I go out there. It's still on fire. Nobody put the fire out. Now I'm standing right there. I just was just trying to decide if I should. Well, I was kind of dumb, but I was like, if I open it, is it going to make it worse? Well, I didn't think about the fact that it's just got air blowing right on it. So me opening the laser isn't going to make a difference at all. So I could have just opened it and trying to blow the fire out. And why did it flame up? What happened? Somebody forgot to turn on the. Oh, that's what it was. The air compressor. All the air. The air assist wasn't on. Well, that was going. Yeah, I blew the fire out and then I was like, why aren't the lights on? Because over each laser I have a light. So if the light goes out, I know that the air compressor, water chiller, or exhaust is gone out. All three. Yeah. Yep. And I noticed that all of the lights were out for all three lasers. I was like, why aren't the lights on? My daughter was like, Oh, I don't know. I forgot. Laser two is still running without air assist and without the water chiller. Just it was just running. So nothing happened to it. But that was last week. Okay, great. We got that fixed. And then yesterday, yesterday, laser. Oh, so yeah, you fixed it the whole weekend. Sunday. Yeah. Messed with exhaust. Then an air compressor went out. Yes. On Sunday. I had to fix the air compressor. An exhaust fan went out. Sunday or Monday. I don't even know. So I had to replace the little boot, the little brushes in there, which I'm getting pretty good at. It was fast. It was just, I haven't, haven't had any time for design. Oh, and then yesterday, yesterday was crazy. Yeah, that was a crazy day. Nothing was cutting through. And we cut on Sunday. So he fixed laser two. It was cutting. It was fine. And then I come in first thing yesterday morning and I start cutting. And I was like, Whoa, laser two is all smoky. What is happening? And he was I said, Do we need to change the filters? And he said, No, I just changed the filter. And I said, Well, are you sure that wasn't laser ones filter? And he was like, went to prove it to me. And he did prove it. He showed me the filter was clean. And I said, Well, it's charring up these boards. I can't use laser to cut through. And then laser three didn't cut through. And so then he was like, fix laser three, and then it didn't cut through the big exhaust fan at the end. So we have all three of them venting to a bigger exhaust fan. Each one has an exhaust fan. And then down at the end, there's a big exhaust fan to kick it up and out of the wall. Yes, like out of the up and out of our building. So that one, he said, I think that's clogged. I'm going to have to take the time and replace it, but not right now. I was like, we're behind because of the fire on laser three, and the issues with laser two. No, it was a fire on two. Yes. And then there was a fire on two also. So I was, I was like, Okay, well, you can say you can't do it now, but I can't run the other lasers. So until you're ready to do that, we're not getting much done. And then he finally, well, well, yet, well, then yesterday, I was forced to cut. Here's where we're really going with this long story. So nothing's cutting through yesterday. Nothing on laser twos cutting through laser one had some issues. Laser three didn't cut through. Yeah, we were having some real problems and he was losing it because we're behind in the store. And we were getting caught up. We were on a roll. We're getting pretty all weekend to get caught up. Like we work late, both Saturday and Sunday to get caught up. And then all three lasers are having three lasers. We're having problems. And I just fixed, I just went through and I cleaned out all of the exhaust fans. I realigned all three your stories getting longer, get get there. I'm standing there like, I just got it all. And I'm going to run some cuts. And the power down the middle of the warehouse went out. And I wasn't here at this time. I had just gone up the street and where did Tana go? Was it just a wall? I don't know. It's just across the street. And we come back and Tanner pulls up and he's like, why are the lights out out front? And it was drizzling yesterday. It was no storm, but it was raining yesterday. And he goes, did dad, did dad think we didn't need lights out front? Or what was he done with the lights for the day or what? And so I was like, hmm, that's suspicious. And then we come in and we see that part of the warehouse is out. But the other part where the lasers are is still on and running. And we're like, what's going on? And Tana and Garrett goes and checks all the breakers are I said, did you blow another breaker? Because you blew a breaker the other day. Too many things on in one place. And he's like, nope, all the breakers are good. I said, all right, well, I've got to eat the sandwich before I lose it. And then I will help you troubleshoot. Well, during that time, he goes next door. And our friend next door, he's like, yeah, half of my stuff's out too. But not all of it. His warehouse is out too. And then he's like, as some of my machinery that's pulling 220 isn't getting full power. And I was like, what? Really? So that I came back here and I was messing with our water chiller, which is a 220. And the compressor wouldn't kick on. And I was like, oh, we're only getting like half power. It was the craziest thing. Yeah, well, no, you didn't know that at first. At first, you thought that we had a new problem. Yeah. At first, I thought chiller one's out. I was like, now the water chiller is out. It was just a week. And he Tana goes and looks on Virginia Power site. And guess what? It was like our street. Yeah. Just us block our block. Yeah, right here. We were out. And so luckily, well, at that point, we couldn't run the lasers because he was like, I'm going to have to change the fan. I can't get the exhaust out. So we took that time while the power was down and the lasers weren't running, which we found out later was just they weren't getting the proper amount of power. And he switched out the fan and everything is running beautifully today. Well, you did have a hit this morning. Yeah, hit a hiccup this morning. I go out there and it's filled with smoke. And I was like, what's happening? Oh, I didn't even tell you about this one. I was like, what's happening? There was a hole in one of the exhaust tubes. So I patched that. And then I was like, laser two is smoky again. So I just pulled the the back of the laser off. And I looked in it, jammed my hand in there to see if anything was in there, plugged it back in. And suddenly it was working like super great. And I was like, oh, that is great. And I leave the tent and the warehouse is filled up with smoke. It's because down at the end where the the big exhaust fan is, where it kicks it up and out, that popped off the top. The hose, the hose pops off and it's filling up the warehouse. He fixes that. And then while I'm fixing that, I hear the hose outside make like a balloon noise and it popped. And I was like, man, so then I had to climb up on the roof this morning. And we have a silencer and the end of our tube for our neighbor, our neighbor. TMI, too much information, moving on. So sorry for that long story, but we have had quite an adventure for the last two, three days, I guess. I mean, I know just so you guys know when you when you have your own laser problems and you get yourself and you're frustrated with it, you don't know what the problem is. We experienced the same thing in threes times three. And it just seems like all of them is always something with one of them up the the filter needs to be changed up. There was too much smoke and laser to from the fire. And that means we had to change the lenses out. Remember yesterday we changed the lenses because the lens got all crusty. Yes, it had quite a flame on it. I guess couldn't clean the lens. So I had to replace it. But I have spares. Yeah. So it was just and we just had quite a little maintenance last maintenance last couple of days. It's not like I don't keep up with maintenance. And yesterday he said at the end of the day, he said, I have got to do test cut Tuesday. I was like, not right now. You don't. We're going to have to figure this out. So he did. He did work this out yesterday. You worked on it last night. I guess at the end of the day, I saw you working on it. And then here and there and then I worked on it last night. We watched a little TV. And I did not work on mine while we were watching TV, which is probably part of our problem. So let me let me say, let me go see what's happening in this chat. So I can respond. Yeah, we did all the chatting here. Yeah, it is a very long story. Like half the sign is done. That's how long my story was. Oh, Chuck V had his first craft show this weekend. Oh, Chuck V, how'd it go? You and Flavor Flav. Had my first craft show learned a lot. Can't wait for the next one. Yeah. That's your first viewer. Just going to be learning. You're going to be learning and running back to the house because you forgot stuff. Christian says he's back. He was on vacation last week. Welcome back. I saw and I noticed. Just say Christian, where'd you go? Hope it was somewhere fun. Hope it was like a real vacation. Oh, Christian let Scott know his bottles are looking good. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we saw those. I'd like to try some bottle stuff. Oh, Lori just found our channel yesterday. This is the first time joining us for a test cut Tuesday. Sorry for all the long winded story there, Lori. We don't normally, well, I mean, we do tell stories, but and should chat with you guys. That was a long winded one. Yes. We've just been through so much. We feel, we're feeling a lot better though, right? We're like in a better mood because now I feel like we cleaned up the back while the power was out. Yeah, we did a lot of cleaning. We did some cleaning up back there too, while Tanner and I did, while he was working on that fan. Oh, Bernice says she only gets to see 10 minutes because, oh, Bernice, you're probably gone because we didn't tell her a whole story. She has to leave to drive home. Have a safe drive home. Patricia says, hope everyone's having an awesome day and staying safe in Florida. Yes. Oh, yeah. How's everybody doing in Florida? Has it hit yet? Kind of slept you the weather this morning. Oh, Jason's here, but he's driving. So he's just going to be listening mostly, I think. He says he's picking his daughter up from school. Eyes on the road. Nothing exciting going on here. Oh my God, look. I know, Helen. Helen said I'm starting to get confused if Minnesota make really is Chris or Jerry. Yeah. Don't do that to me. I went through that last week. I'm questioning when did I have it right? Oh, Alisa. I think I said that right. My first live in a long time. Welcome back. Welcome back. Sorry for the long story. He always mixes me up with Jerry. Minnesota, Alaska. It's all the same cold. It is. You're right. It is. I mean, look, here's, here's what I'm saying. Minnesota, Alaska. That's funny. You guys know each other in your areas in Alaska. But look, if you're touching Canada, you're Canada. I'm sorry. I love Canada. Yeah, Lois. I meant to ask you last week. Lois said your weather sounds like California, hurricanes and flooding here. Thank goodness I was further north or I would be floating away. I meant to ask you and I guess I forgot or didn't put it together, but I had thought about it. Put them on here. Put them on here so you don't fight with it. There you go. Look at there. Look how I'm helping you. Look at that. It's a new technique. I wondered if you were a part of all of that flooding, the earthquake, I don't know. Oh, yeah, there. Did you have firenado or whatever? Was that there too? Where was that at? Oh, the firenado. I think that was Canadian, Canada. Was that in Canada? I don't know. Yeah, Lois says sounds like your lasers need a vacation. They're all burnout, right? Yes, yes. Don't jinx me. I was so worried about the tube. They haven't taken a vacation. Yeah, that's right. No vacations for them. They ride, I don't know, 12 hours a day, seven days a week. So it was true to you, you said glad you're okay. We had the worst storms I've ever experienced here in Michigan. Seven tornadoes touched down and five people dead. In Michigan? Does Michigan usually get tornadoes? I thought you guys were too high up to get the warm and the cold. In Michigan, yeah. I don't, yeah, I can't believe you get tornadoes up there. I didn't even feel like we're living through the day after tomorrow. My goodness. Scott says it sounds like a good week to drink adult beverages in the shop this week. I'm in. I gotta practice for the tequila cruise. Let's get them started on the white claws again. Well, yeah, let's have that conversation again. Those conversations get people in trouble. Christian says that they were in Cancun and had a near tropical storm that followed us home and grounded our plane coming home. Extra day added to travel. Oh, that's not fun. Christian said put some white cloth in the chillers. Put some white clothes on it. Did we change our MDF? Interesting. We did actually change the MDF, but I don't think that's the problem. Everything's cutting okay now. So, but that's, that's a good point. We did just switch to a new provider. I don't know that we've switched, but we got a whole order in from somebody else. The MDF is looking lighter in color than what Worthwood's Lumber has been looking like the last couple times we've ordered. So, I don't know, wherever we can get the best wood, that's the wood we're trying to grab and keeping it somewhat affordable. Isn't it his hair? No? No, I don't know what it is. Well, you don't, I don't see his hair. So, I think it is. Just cut weird. I think it's inside of something. I think it's trash. We'll set it here for now. We, you get confused with tiny pieces. So, do we, well, what, where is his hair? Where? Oh, you got it. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, let's just set it aside. You know what it looks like? It looks like cousin Eddie's hat. It does. He might, he might have made it to this sign. I was just picking everybody. I went through the comments on last week's video and I pulled out everybody that was mentioned. So, and then last night I showed Kim the first version and she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you need to dumb that down a lot. I went a little crazy with the first version. Yeah, yes, it was super detailed. I was like, you know, Helen's never going to paint that. Yeah, each one. I think about you, Helen. Will Helen paint that? Yes, exactly. No, she will not paint that. So, make it easier. That's right, Helen. That's okay. At least I look at it too sometimes and he's like, no, that's our signature, the detail. And I was like, not so much detail that no one wants to paint it. Punchy says, hi guys in South Carolina, the state that's never prepared, waiting for this rain from the hurricane. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're going to get a little bit of rain from that hurricane. We've already had rain in the last two days. Yeah, we have had rain in the last two days. And you know what? The ceiling's not leaking. Yeah. I don't understand it. Christian says, well, it's because we haven't had a downpour. Oh, yesterday it was crazy. Remember I walked out? I was like, is it raining? Yeah, but it was just raining. It wasn't like downpour, I think. Christian says, you're going to need a generator now for the equipment with some voltage regulators. I got voltage regulators on two of them. Yeah. Well, I haven't put enough. And you know what? It's laser two that didn't have the voltage regulator, right? Yeah, that's right. And it wasn't the one that wasn't cutting through. Yeah, with the problems yesterday. So, you know what? I might have to get one. Eric Hill, what did you say that you took back out? Eric Hill, message retracted. Ooh, he had something juicy to say. Now I need to know. Jerry says, howdy hangers. Helen, stop it. Clickery case is howdy hangers. Helen said, hey, Jerry, where is it, Chris? She's going to get it mixed up. Helen said, I love the long stories, because it's going to be a quick file. Yeah, that's what I said. And Kim couldn't get her file together. Guess who's here visiting with us. Oh, Peg Egg's here. What's up, Peg Egg? She's waiting for some rain in Tampa. You're not going to, so glad it's not going to rain. You're getting that good rain down in Tampa. Aren't you going to, aren't you going to be heading out? Tampa. I heard there was a little left sign. It's coming right up through you, isn't it? I thought they were going to, like, shelter in place. That's what I heard. Like, there wasn't an evacuation notice given. It was just a, yeah, good luck. Good luck, everybody. Oh, Eric did come back with something. Seems like you ran through a fault short on one of your feeds to your shop, ended with just a 120 volt feeds, and only those circuits were working properly. 240 won't work at all. Well, it was working. It was a weird thing. I mean, some things, some places like this room had lights, but it didn't have an outlet. But no, the sockets worked, and the other room, the sockets worked, but none of the lights would work. It just was just weird. Or, like in our office, the outlets were off. That's all in the same circuit, but the lights were on. And no circuit breakers were tripped. The laptops wouldn't work. We had no internet during that time. Our neighbor was over there with a voltage meter going. Plugging it in stuff. Well, he asked if I had one, and I was like, yeah. And then Tanner was like, hey, do you want to check ours first? I was like, no, man. I miss it with electricity. Yeah, he hates electricity. I saw some things when I was a little kid. You told that story. Yeah. Christine wants to know what sign was I working on? A cute one. Yes, I was getting ready to print it. It was not a horror movie one. No, it's a cute little witch's hat with a black cat. A cute little cat. And a spider web, and it says boo on it. A cute little spider web. It is. It's very cute. You guys want to see it? Because I'll go print it. I was the one who got printing it. Where's my wrench? Scott's lost his wrench. What? Somebody else lost their wrench. Lois, where's my wrench? I had it right here, but you know what, Lois? Did I mention how this table was covered full of stuff? Full of stuff, full of baby oil. Where is all that? That's in the other room now. That was a crazy baby oil fiasco in here. Kevin and Penny says, stay safe all. Please remind me of the glue you use for witch things, and is there a yearly Patreon option? There is a yearly Patreon option. I think it comes with a 20% discount if you pay for the full year. So take a look at that. We see those come through quite often. And the glue. Hey, I got a little tip for you guys. I think I said it last time, but I'm going to show you. So this is Starbond Thick. You want to go like zoom in so they can see it. Most of you guys already know what this is. This way, this way. Starbond Thick is what we use for our signs. And then I got a little tidbit. So if you guys, and some of you guys who have purchased the 16 ounces will know this, if you buy the just a two ounce bottle by itself, the bottles are so hard to squeeze. I mean, they're like a two hander squeeze. But if you buy the 16 ounce, I just want to make sure I was right. Bottle, it comes with four, is it four of the little bottles? And these are much easier to squeeze. So just a little heads up. You know, if you're if you're considering buying the big one, I know it's a little more expensive. I'd go for it simply because you can, you will use all this glue. And it's going to be a whole lot easier to squeeze this. So tip. Gared, it's got another story for you. You're going to tell you squeeze. You're going to tell your glue story. Oh, you want it? You guys want another tip? Let me get there. Let me get down. I'm behind in comments. Let me just get comments. And I'll give you another tip. At least it says love to hear your stories. Where's my wrench? I'm getting there. I'll get it for you. I'll get it for you. Can you like tap the name and give them a wrench? Oh, Renee said my sisters said that the first band of the hurricane is rolling through Florida by them now. Oh, really? Is that close? Bonnie says she's 10 minutes from Canadian border. Well, Bonnie, you're Canadian. Oh, Helen answered all those questions already. Should have went on down. Take it on down. She's 50 miles north of San Francisco. Glad it missed me, but sad for those who are still dealing with aftermath. I know. Do we sell this file? We will sell this file, right? Yeah. I'll put the other ones up, too. I know, we know we're so behind on files. You know, we keep showing you all this. Hey, would you like to buy one of these files? We just won't give them to you. We won't offer them for sale. So SVGTs. Look what we can make. Forget ever seeing it again. We just hold them hostage. Ingrid wants to know where her Patreon Facebook group has been by this. Oh, I've been trying to do them. I did it. I think I'm caught up. Ingrid, I'll go check. Did I send you an email? But sometimes the email I have on file for Patreon isn't the same email that you have used for Facebook. And that's what I'm using to invite you. So I'll usually send an email and say, hey, what is your Facebook email so I can invite you? But I'll check into that. I did that the other day. I think I'm going to open it up again. I'll post the link and then close it. Give you guys. No, I'll take care of it. Okay. Bob says needs bloody hands behind the text on the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I noticed. So I was going to mention something about blood. But he didn't use that kind of font. He didn't use a bloody font. You used more of a slasher. Yeah, it's cold. And I noticed that a lot of them have knives. Like this guy has a knife. This guy has a knife. This guy has a knife. I went with that. This guy has fingers. Bit cut. Yeah. So I was like, I see why you're using that font. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Worked it out. Good eye. Good eye, babe. What else? What else? Hold on. Don't you just love the tiny pieces when you can't figure them out? Just save them. Just save them. We do that in the workshops all the time. Don't throw this away. You never know. Kathy says she's watching the live for the first time. She doesn't have a laser, but she loves watching us for, because we're funny. Are you funny? I don't think so. Kim doesn't think so. Half the time. Yeah, half the time is not funny. Allen says, before designing, ask yourself, what would Helen do? I started to. WWHD. What would Helen do? Christine says she lives in St. Pete, Florida. She's not leaving. It's going north of Tampa, a big bend area, but we'll have a storm surge. We are high and dry, and 92 feet. Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. Good for you. I'm happy to hear that peg. Peg, egg. Are we near the citizens bank building? I don't think so. I don't know. We are by St. Joseph's Villa. Are you talking to us? I don't know. I might just be answering somebody else's question. Lois said, baby oil. You two getting kinky in your downtime? It's pretty kindergarten after dark. You'll have to tune in. But my hands were beautiful yesterday. They're dry now, darn it. I need to buy a couple or four big bottles, Kim. Order coming in today or tomorrow. All right, Jerry. Bring it on. Oh, do I have big bottles? I don't, but they are. Yeah, they were ordered two weeks ago, so they should be here any day. Well, the guy called me. I think right after he put your order. Oh, Christine says where's his wrench? Everybody's wrenches missing. He never had one, but he says he should have one. I agree. And Lois, I got you. I got you. I'm going to see if I can do it now. We'll wrench up. What kind of paint do you use for your signs? Oh, that's funny. We are using a new paint. We're actually trying out a new paint right here. It's our new paint supplier. Is that, wait a minute. Wait, wait. I can see your sign. Is it wet? Kind of. Yeah. It's dry enough. Do you want me to help you? I can see you like from this angle because I'm on it on the side of it. I got it. You got it. Perfect. I got the goods. He looks a little like Darth Vader, don't you think? He does. We use Foxy Hughes. Foxy Hughes. Foxy Hughes paint. Outdoor craft paint. It's our new paint label that's coming. But yes, it's an outdoor paint. You want to use outdoor house paint on these signs. So that they don't, so that the MDF doesn't swell in the front. It might swell a little in the back if it gets wet and stays wet. But they will not, will not swell in the front. It will not release the glue. It is UV resistant so they won't fade. And mildew resistant so they don't look dirty. You can wipe them off. And our outdoor craft paint has the same. Yep, Renee. Just said, is there an update on your paint? Sure is. We got it in. We're packaging it up. And we're still waiting on that label. Hey, are you, why does that look super clean? Is that how well the laser's cutting or did you paint the wrong side? Oh, well the laser's cutting. Don't jinx me. It's doing really, really well right now. And everything's clean. Tasha G, Facebook invite. I joined a couple weeks ago. I did the invites last week. As of last Monday. So if you joined in the last 10 days, I may not have sent the invite to you yet. I see. Also, Patreon t-shirts. If you're new, your Patreon t-shirt is coming. I have not. So Courtney used to do all these things for us. And she's gotten too busy in her big girl job. And so it's fallen in my lap. And that's just one of the things I haven't had a chance to do. I keep saying I'm going to do it at night. But I'm watching TV. But I end up watching TV. I don't do it. The laptop's in my lap though. I'm just not using it. It's keeping you warm. She throw blanket. We only get like, that's when I sit down at about 9.30. 9.30, that's what I was going to say. Michael's here. He says, he's sorry he's late, but he's here. So Michael. Helen says, we're out of, she said they're out of stock. I think Garrett used it all on his fingers. Oh man. Did you guys see? Oh is that, that was my other tip. So well, wait on your, what was the Facebook comment? Oh, that said the Spock with the glue, which was hilarious. And then I thought the little gift that Garrett sent back made me laugh out loud with that little monkey's face. And he's cutting his eyes. It was so funny. Who knew I was a giffer? Yeah, he loves them and he cracks them up too. I feel like the gifts really express my emotions. Helen says, so there's some, Jerry says, everyone can't hack it. We can't all have a wrench. Helen says, the power of the wrench means you have to be fast on your fingers. Link, link, link and no sex spots. Smack them out of the chat. That's right. Do not bring that into existence again, Helen. That was so funny. Remember our problem with that for, for so long? Like a month. Yeah. It started during the hurricane sale. And Helen says, ooh, I love foxy hues. And Christine says I'm three blocks away from the inner coastal. And they said the storm surge would be four to seven feet. And I have a little incline on my property. It's about 12 feet higher. So it's gonna, it's gonna cut it close. You could do some fishing off your front porch then. Why the new paint supplier? No, it's the same one that, that's coming. We're going to be using the same brand that we talked about. Yep. Whoa, it's. Christian's looking forward to see the pricing for the new colors. It's very competitive. Uh, Bernie says I'm trying it with gorilla glue spray. Is that okay? Um, I don't know. I mean, glue in these signs together. Ooh. Gorilla glue spray. You let me know if that works. You tell me if it works. Yeah, I'm curious. I know it's like it out or it's supposed to be weather resistant and everything. So maybe, but what a great way to flip it all over. Just give it a quick spray. Slap them down. I mean, I can't really do this. Spray it too much while I'm sitting here, but might not be a bad thing. You spray it on your hair. That way your hair will stay in place. Don't want to do that. Cassandra says I tried to purchase a court of paint in Manhattan. $34 to $44. I passed on the paint. Yeah. Oh, a court. I bet. Yeah. Our prices beat those. Well, definitely beat those. That's right. Lois, Helen says Kim and Garrett will be the suppliers. They cut out the middle man and will be the same quality product. Lois says the full view of the sign looks like a bunch of Sasquatch is walking along. From that view, you should go overhead again so they could see you. I thought I was overhead. Everybody want to look at your pretty little face, babe. Thanks, babe. You're getting it done. You're making it happen. And it's only, what is it, protractor or clock? It's not even close to beaker's o'clock. Yeah, I was going to say beaker's o'clock. Oh, let me go get my, you know what I'm going to do? You can tell your, you want to tell your glue story while I go print that sign? Oh, you don't want to be involved in it? It was just a tip. Oh, no, I'm coming right back. Mainly a tip. You're not going to talk about what happened to you? If you're working with acrylic, do not, do not use star bond. It does not work. You'd think it'd be great for acrylic, but it's like it becomes super sticky and for a very long time until like skin or something else touches it is very, very sticky. It took me three minutes to get my hands off of the acrylic. It was, I was having like issues where I was scared that I was going to be stuck there forever. Yeah. Did anybody see our story earlier this week? Then right after it happened to me, like no, like not right after, like 20 minutes later, Kim touched it and got stuck to it. Right. I thought by now, you know, it just didn't even occur to me that it might still be wet because this stuff dry so fast, but not on the acrylic and my fingers got super stuck, super, they've never, I mean, I've been stuck to things before, sure. And you can't really get your fingers apart and I laugh, you know, and I use a little debond or get them off, but there's a difference. There was a difference because I was holding it like this and I could just feel how stuck they were. It's different than being stuck to MDF. Like MDF, you're like, oh, I can pull hard and get off or I can use a little of this debond or and I'm good to go. But with the stuck that it felt, it felt like, oh, I hope to God the debondry can get this off. It was, it was very stuck. Is there something going on top or is there supposed to be a little room? Yeah, it's supposed to be a little room. It's like it's hood. Oh, okay. Like it was when I had the bottle stuck to my hand. I was like, oh, I don't, I'm not worried the bottle is going to come off, right. But when that acrylic was stuck, it was a different stuck. Did you hear the laugh? You could tell by the way he was laughing that was like a nervous laugh. I was like, I feel like I might be living with this piece of acrylic. On my hand. That's it. I'm old knife hand now. Get it? Knife hand. And not even like the good Tim Burton kind. That's, he said, he said, what did he say? That's it. I'm forever known as knife hand now. And then when I got stuck, I was like, but I knew he got him unstuck. But it was just a little panicky feeling. It was almost like a claustrophobic thing. Yes, it was a claustrophobic thing. That's how I felt too. Get it off. Get it off. Get it off. It's like, it was just a son of a damn. Hold on. Let me look, let me look. I just dropped the littlest piece on the ground. And I'm pretty sure that thing went rolling. What is it? It was one of his little pom-pom puffs. Oh, it's pom-pom puffs. All right, I'm going in. We just lost Kim. I should, I should have stood to the stupid stair thing. Go downstairs. Yeah, you should have done this. You would have for sure. Oh, totally. All right, I'm going down to take a look. I do not see your pom-pom. Hold on. Let me take the elevator down and meet you. I'll go check now. I'm back. Do you guys get embarrassed for him sometimes? Speaking of embarrassing, Helen's got a funny story in here. Oh, Ellen here. She says, oh my gosh, I used Weldon, Weldon for acrylic, which I guess is like a tape, a sticky tape thing. And said, I delivered a sign. When I stood up the sign, the O fell off. When I used Weldon, I forgot to remove the backing. So, I don't, I guess, so it never stuck, right? Because it was never glued on. And she said it was so embarrassing. Man, where did that thing go? Cluner said you could laser it off, Harry. I told you it wasn't down here. It's got to be down here. Do you know what to fall? Hey, but you know what I've been finding? Look, I found two periods, a comma. Oh, for the sign up there. Yeah, those little things fall too. Tyra said I saw the story. Felt sorry for you, but it was a great story. Yeah, did you see that laugh? That laugh was like a nervous laugh. All right, you'll find it. You'll find it. There's two months. This floor is so messy. I can vacuum in here. There's a bunch of little pieces. Oh, let's see. I guess we have to do all their knives now. Renee said you're fast with your fingers. No wonder you didn't lose your wrench. The fiddly bits levels this one up. Yes. Yes. That's what he was saying to you. She's like, why are you copying somebody else's sign? I was like, everybody's done this one. Oh, it's his hat. It's his hat. Oh, right. She was like, everybody else has done it. And I was like, yeah. If I just feel like I could do a little bit better. Helen says I love the chat. She grew up in AOL chat rooms. Yeah, that's right. Me too. Little aim. Ah, Kleiner says, for those who use blades on your CO2 bed, how do you hold down warped wood? Big magnets. Yeah, let's go see if anybody answered. But yeah, we just use big magnets or we'll go and kind of flip it over and try and unwarp it. Well, here's what I do when the boards are warped, for real. You want my real answer? I'm about to give you a tip. No, for real. The board gets less warp as you cut it in pieces. So how I frame everything, like I'll frame all of our little pieces so that I can tape them off and ship them out and stuff. I'll cut all the frames first and everything will fall. Drop, yeah. With drop and kind of relax. Because he puts a square around it. We do that for shipping purposes. So if you buy something from us, it's already cut. It's in a frame, so all the pieces stay together. They'll stack one on top of the other and not have like a branch from a tree that's going to break in shipping or something. And so if you cut, I get it. So if you cut those frames out, that piece drops and now it's flat and it'll cut everything inside of it. So that's a great tip. That's a great tip. Yeah, it's a great tip. It relaxes the wood and everything falls. Yep. You cut everything cut. Then I do my cuts. Come back and do all the insides and don't cut the frames. So I'll usually put that on like a different color. I'll put it on like color 17 or whatever and then run that one first and then run all my regular cuts. Oh, Tanner was watching. He went and found, he cut you a couple. Isn't that nice? Thanks, Tanner. I can't wait. Tanner's always hiding, so I can't wait to you guys. Tanner's funny too. And he was in my video that one time, but he didn't say a whole lot. He made sure he fast forwarded himself. Tanner is one of the reasons we have a YouTube channel. It was like him and Isabel. I was like, YouTube are freaking hilarious. Go start a YouTube channel. You can't start a YouTube channel these days. It's already been done. Guess who did? Garrett is too funny. Lois, I love your tech savvy at your age. I work with a lot of retired people and doing technology is so hard. Five minute calls take 45 minutes right now. Yeah, and Lois is just right in here. Lois said they didn't have chat rooms when I grew up. The wheels are still made of stone. Yeah, but I won't do. Chuck V says great tip. All right. Oh yeah, you did it. You did it. You did it. You're so fast. I'm so fast. Down. Down. Down. Yeah, right there. Just want your spacing to be the same. It's actually a little too close to get back. Just call me Kim Dead Eye. Kim Dead Eye, Kim. Now wait, if you're going to put his orange face on there, you sure you want this? It should be brown. Yeah. I don't have brown though. Like it didn't bring any brown with me. Oh, do you want me to get you some brown? Or you know what, use this. Oh no, that's not going to work. Do we have a brown paint? Tanner, if you're out there, can you bring us the brown paint? In case he's still watching. I just need a dab. Tanner, can you hear me? Harry says I used to, used to twitch a while ago and now the wife wants me to start again but wear a thong and a halter top. Whoa. That sounds like an only thing. He said skin to win. Question mark. That's what has to happen. Helen's ready to start her only fans. I was ready to start mine. Kim said no. Inflation is no joke. Oh, Tanner wrote in on it. He's out there. He's just watching. I think I painted the wrong side anyway. I did. Let's see. Here he is. Yeah. You can just like dab with it, you know? Yeah. There you go. He said just dab it. I could put the user in time out from here. Oh, add as a moderator. There we go. Look. Oh, how'd you do it? Just like you said. I clicked on their name right here. There you go. All right. Who wants a wrench? Wrench, wrench. Who wants a wrench? Who wants a wrench? Man. And Scott wanted to know what happened to his wrench. Is he still there? Can I do that? I guess there was something. It was the big wrench purge of 2023. There we go. Look at you. Look at you. See? Slasher letters. Yeah, they're called dead killer in Defant. All right. Yeah. See, I gave Chuckie some red hair and his knife. I gave this dude his little scream mask. If you look close, let's go over here. If you look close, Michael Myers actually has like a Michael Myers mask. Jason actually has like a hockey mask. Freddie's got his little claw, his hat, and his orange face. Texas chainsaw massacre guy. Ed Geens. This is what I had to do. I had to go find all these people. You just learned a little bit about them. Yeah, I learned a little bit about everybody, trying to find their pictures. Like their real names and stuff. It wasn't Leatherface. It's Ed Geens. Oh, and then I just put the... I was going to make this dude white, but I thought I'd keep it black. So, uh, you kind of maintain the feel of all the other guys. I think it looks good. Now I have my own, so I could bring this one to the craft show. I saw the ones that were posted. I wanted to answer somebody who had to quit. Oh, Tom, before this rolls off the screen. Tom, tiny tips that come with a star bond. So, in your little two ounce bottle. That's funny. Tom Thumbs asking about tiny tips. It's not Tom Thumbs. Tom Davis. Here's the star bond. Two ounce comes with two extra... Two pointy tips that'll go on here, right? And then it comes with a little baggie. A micro tips. Three, six, seven, eight micro tips. This little baggie comes in here too. Why you have eight of them is because the tip will get clogged once you set it aside. I mean, that one doesn't. So, a little snip with the... A little snip with the scissors. Just a little... Yeah, or you just pick the glue right off. I mean, I never... I hardly ever change the tips. I will sometimes do it for a workshop, because I don't want them... I don't want the bottle to look dirty and used, but it's not ready to be replaced. So, and then a little instructions come in there as well. Let's say, don't use with acrylic. I don't know what they say, but I'm just telling you, don't mess with that. Oh, and then like the next day, I came in and I went to pick it up. Just cleaning up the trash. Wanted to pick up the acrylic piece that we were gluing with the paper towel, and the paper towel stuck to it 24 hours later. Yeah. It was crazy. It was the craziest acrylic experience. Amazing details. This is going to be a hot seller. Oh, thank you. It needs an evil clown face. I thought about giving them the evil clown face. I wasn't sure how to make it so small. Cassandra really likes to sign, and she's not a scary movie fan. He said, Tom gave himself, look, it's Tom Davis, lol. It needs a slasher knockout of the door round with a little blood stain. Oh, so like. I almost did it through the welcome. I almost put the slash going through the welcome and the backer, so you'd have to glue the welcome on both sides of it. But then you changed the font, and it turned into, it would have to be a bunch of little pieces, so I did. But I still might do it. Well, did you hear what she was saying? Like put, make it, I think what she said, it was like a door or Allen. Allen said, he said, it needs a slasher knockout of the door round with a little blood stain. I don't think I understand that. I'm confused. Oh, like a notch. Is that what you mean? I think that's a good idea. Put an X notch right here. Yeah. Yeah, I think, yeah. Yeah, in the backer with some blood that, yeah, the 3D blood. Yes. Swallow test cut Tuesday. You guys have so many good ideas. I love working with you guys. So Harry says, so Tom Thumb has a little issue with the tiny tips. So I'm saying, right? Sorry, Tom. Sorry for the need for remediation, but do you use star bond on the wooden porch leaners? No, we glue those pieces together. If there's MDF pieces, MDF. MDF to MDF star bond. But for the wood door rounds, we either use wood glue, any wood glue. There's a whole post. If you're a top tier patron, go look for Lori Chavez's answer on glue. So it's very informative. I didn't see Lori on. No, she was so close. She was only like two hours away. This is original gorilla glue. You like to use this, but it does swell. But it's easy to chip off once it's dry and it's foamy. It does a great job of filling in any cracks if your board is warped at all. This does a great job. And then you can just chip off anything that oozes out or use the wood glue. But I feel like this holds better than this. But the dry is clear. Totally holds better. So that's on your porch leaners. That's on that pressure treated pine. But yeah. Now Jason wants two wrenches. Double wrench. He's got double fester wrenches. Terry says her grandson will put this on his bedroom door. Oh, that's a good one. You should leave. That's about right. Sounds about right. Eva, if you want to reach me, send me an email at support at kngmakeit.com. I can help you with that. It's going to come right to me. Yes, a notch out. That's what he was saying. Yeah, a notch out. Great idea. I think I'm going to throw it in. Right up here where I got this space over top of Chucky. Look at here. Now, this is how this is how test cut Tuesday should be. Do you know what time it is? No. What time is it, Christian? It's about to get ill. No, it's right at the top of the hour. Oh, it's beaker o'clock. Yeah, five o'clock. We did great. All right, well. Now, oh, hey, I never showed you. All right, yeah, yeah. Here, you want to zoom in? Yeah, I'll zoom in. This is what next week is going to look like. Hers was a lot cuter, huh? Isn't that so cute? That's her idea of Halloween. Her idea and my idea of Halloween, complete opposites. Now, I'm working on how to make that hat with all those colors easier, but I mean, I feel like you've got to have those colors. I could make it black, but I really like the little stripes in there. Still working on that. It's a lot of trimming out there. Oh, hey, you know what? What's this? When do I do the Adobe Illustrator stuff? Is it second Tuesday? Well, this is the end of the month. Tomorrow is like the end of the month, right? So that's only two Tuesdays. Yeah, it's like the 29th. Yeah, today's the 29th. Yeah, 31 days in August. So two more Tuesdays. We'll be doing Illustrator class on Zoom over there. Patreon. Oh, hey, hit that like button real quick. Give your thumb an exercise again. If you didn't hit it at the beginning, go ahead and hit it now. And if you're not yet subscribed, hit that subscribe button. Take that bell to be notified of our new videos every week. Good job, baby. Every Tuesday and Friday. Now, if I had to read a teleprompter, that would be over. I can remember the stuff. I just can't read the stuff. Can you make an MCM Halloween sign? MCM. Helen says she's been working on one and she can share hers. What's MCM? I thought maybe you would know. I was waiting for you to tell me. It was one of those, you know, just fake it till you make it. I was waiting for you to figure it out. My carnival magic. That's, it's a cruise line. Oh, Mr. Clown Man. Lois says we can do the hat as one piece and put score lines and then we could paint them. That's what Garrett said. That's what I said. But I was like, I want to paint all the yellows, all the greens, all the oranges at one time. It's about ease. Christian said, could this get posted on Patreon tonight? In like five minutes. As soon as I am out. I think you signed up this one. No, because I'm going to make it a cut file. So unless he does it, mid-century modern. Yeah, we were just talking about mid-century modern. Send me what you've been working on, Helen, because I want to see what you're making. Oh, MCM. Little slow on the uptake. I think Mad Men. Oh, is this like a whole, isn't that like that whole Piki Blinders thing? No, I think Piki Blinders is a little older. Oh, that's like 30s or 20s or something. Mad Men is like 40s and 50s, right? Mid-century modern. Mid-century modern. Yeah, mid-century. I guess 50s. Be in the term mid-century. I got it now. So quick. All right. Yeah. We're about out of time. I got to go cook dinner. This will be my third time in a row. No, you don't. We're going to stay here for a while because we got to catch up on all the cutting we didn't do yesterday. Oh. I'm going to microwave dinner. You go get some dinner yourself. And we will see you on Friday if we have a project. This is a tight one. Yeah. We started this last week, so. Yes. Been along our crew with Project.
