 what is up a welcome back do it to do a builder make it so do we we have a new video each week this week we're doing a mantle makeover there we go I'm trying to get older I want to sit right in the middle I've been out of pocket all week I slept like all day Wednesday so we're kind of winging it doing it live we made all of our cuts yeah our plan was to make this project for this week's video we did all the design work for this week's video we just did not have time to film this week's video because Gary Garrett like we joked was wrapped up like a mummy in his chair he was here in the office super sick I tried to get him to stay home he wouldn't do it because he knew we had to film and so he stayed in his he's got a gamer chair so he had it laid back feet up and wrapped in a hoodie like this with the hood over his face I had the hoodie on backwards so it would cover my face but he's all good now so we apologize if he starts a coughing fit yeah I will excuse myself if I cough up a lung but I should be okay I have plenty to drink so we're good Kim you want to tell them what we're really doing today yes what our original plan was to do today was cool crafts that we could bake with our x-tool we haven't used our x-tool on a video lately and this is a great time to pull out some new Halloween crafts so we're gonna do some garland we're gonna make some ghosts and what is it bats and ghosts Halloween garland for our mantle yeah little batty we don't really have a mantle but we do have a TV table that's made from a real big block of I don't know what it is it is wood but it's like a live edge board it's really cool thick so we use that as our mantle so we're gonna put this garland on the air I do decorate it for each season like most people kind of update their mantles for each season I do it for Halloween and then we're going to make some little Halloween standards these are crafts that you can do we're gonna offer this is a little kit in our store so if you want to have some sort of a kids craft kit this is it this is what we're making this is it this is the kids it is it we're gonna do the garland we're gonna do the little standards with a four by four it's gonna have a little hat and a ghost on top and then we're going to have what's the third thing oh all these boxes yeah I made the versions the piece to resistance is going to be our little lantern boxes here's a big version I went a little big at first that wasn't sure look at this thing is this thing not adorable we have three of these but we made them small version for this kit so that you can maybe she's like those will not fit on the mantle yeah he could he said where are you gonna put them I was like well these I'd have to put on the floor but I could so I said my vision was to put them on a mantle and so he was like oh well then maybe I should pair this down yeah that's how you look here this is how you feel right now put this on yes that's how I feel it needs to be bubbles bubbles coming up so we have a small version of that all right well thank you guys for joining us live this is usually our Tuesday live set up so if you don't join us on Tuesdays this is what we do and if you can join us at what four o'clock Eastern we do paint a new round and we do it right here at this video we do a test cut it's actually like I test the new design see if it works yeah live yeah most of the time it does sometimes there's some tweaking we get a little feedback from you guys yeah yeah this is our paint with me set up so we get to sit here today at this little table and do our little video today and we usually say hello to who's on the live so we've got some folks here this morning a little bit like some of our regulars to yeah Scott said wow a live Friday bonus coverage this week bonus yes yeah even more Kim and Garrett Vicki Patricia Cheryl up Candice is here Tim Bernice and I see Garrett Bernice says it's been a while since I joined alive I figured I'm in office by myself so I can watch you guys on full blast good because Garrett all the way out Garrett was getting hype he was playing hype music all the way in this morning well this is what happened this morning no don't give her a story yet we're gonna tell you why I started off oh right oh right yeah yeah that's because I come down and I saw a grease a grease was putting her her Cosby gear on and I was like oh yeah there's a pep rally so I said that lady's name that controls our entire house and I said play pep rally so we were dancing around to Missy Elliot's pep rally this morning trying to get the kids hype for the pep rally today definitely when I came down which was probably maybe three minutes after you under five minutes after you there was a whole pep rally going on in the kitchen I was marching around like a drum major pep rally Matt says we're carving pumpkin pumpkins yeah oh yeah Carson hi Sylvie she just jumped on to watch replay with the x-tool Ruth says aging yourself with Garrett with the romper room mirror that's how old I am I accept it it's happened Michelle says yay a special treat with you guys this morning a Friday live yeah well glad I'm glad you guys think so because when I first mentioned live on Wednesday I said yeah it was still like this like no no I'm gonna do it we're gonna film I'll get it done I'll get it done yeah he's not happy so yesterday came and went and while we were all ready I just he just didn't have time to edit it so I didn't have by the time we got all the cutting done I just didn't have any time that night I still want to go to sleep I'm still tired all right so how do you want to kick this thing off project number one let's be project number one so I did create us a little script so we didn't forget what we're doing over here there we go oh so I thought I would let you guys know I got sick of trying to monkey with that lightbox for the X tool and I just connected it to light burn which is another better I'm gonna say the best CNC software that hooks up to a laser yeah let me play a little video how easy it was to set it up I mean yeah so it was super in this live today we're gonna mix a little video clips like we said we did a little filming and we're gonna mix a little live so he wanted to show how easy it was to set up the X tool the small laser that we have to light burn go to desktop let's see you guys tell me if you can see the video yeah let me know so I pulled up light burn I went to add device over on the left then I just clicked find the laser next oh I made sure it was plugged into the USB about like 30 seconds I found the laser I just kept clicking next I accepted all the defaults and now like lining this up and framing things so much easier like so unbelievably easy now it works all right yeah so yeah if you have an X tool and you aren't using light burn I highly recommend using light burn because there's so many neat things that you can do with it it's much more flexible you can modify files way easier than what you can do and what is the X tool software laser box laser box that's our little tip pretty basic pretty basic it's not bad I mean you can get by on it but I was sick of trying to figure out but you can move the laser head and move it over and hit frame with laser box but with light burn it'll actually take it up it'll it'll set its home you can actually place stuff on the the table area and like frame it out and it's it's just a whole lot easier but it is like it's like 99 bucks but there's a seven-day free trial and that's what I use just to test it out with the X tool it's not bad I have other licenses so I might just connect it all right do you want to get this started yeah yeah I'm just rambling at this point project number one what is it ghost garland it's a do we have the jute I got everything I'm ready to go if you are right in there yeah we'll just go step what we're gonna gather all of our supplies it's weird sitting down doing this you needed some beads oh did I bring a stunt board this will be my stunt board 20 millimeter these are 20 millimeter beads we got these on Amazon store even we needed some quarter-inch Baltic birch so I measured it it's not really quarter inch it's like 0.2 inches now this this birch that we have is unfinished on one side and finished on the other end I know you can kind of see it I saw it shine and light got it you got on sale yes yes we happen to get this we don't really use well we have used round made rounds with this and it's great he's a nice finished back and then we can paint the front and then you need some jute right and that's it is that it paint and of course court paint paint and then yeah well and as I did Baltic birch and your X tool or I will have this is a little kit in our store so yeah go for it and that is it so it's hard to see I don't have them young step to step to we're gonna make all of our cuts hold on I made the sound fix we're just gonna take this Baltic birch over to the X tool and cut it out like seamless look how seamless this was so for these I used 100% power and 3 millimeters per second per second yeah I think it's per second and then I did two passes I took about hour and 20 minutes to cut out all of these little guys they came out great though yeah look how clean those cuts are yeah I mean that air assist really does a great job with this thing I mean there's like no charring on this thing so you know I probably could have gone with 2 millimeter but I think 3 works I don't mind punching the stuff out a little bit and then here they are oh so we started to use we started to use this like baking tray with this cooling rack yeah well you be able to show it in the next one yeah in the next one I'll show it yeah as like a laser bed and it really really cut down the flash or the burn on the back like there's no char on the front and very little on the back I'm impressed I'm impressed with the X tool how it has extra does have an optional laser bed that you can lay down and make your cuts on and I do recommend it I don't know maybe I don't know this out that we had was like six bucks it was six it worked out fine it was like 16 by 16 something like that it worked out fine I mean we'll show you the next video but the laser bed is like a hundred bucks yeah let's start on this let's step to paint them yeah step to I don't have anything with them step to time to paint wow live and first try live and direct first try blue tape yes I'll make this go faster we're gonna use our rollers so let me grab our little roller it's just right up here we're gonna be painting our ghosts white as per usual and then we'll do our bats in black and so to make this a little faster we're using these foam rollers you've been following us you know about the foam rollers if not this makes things so much faster and then you see we store them in these baggies and I reuse them over and over and over until this ruler gets super chunky and then I toss it and I'll grab a new one you can use crusty your makeup sponges so if you order a paint kit from us we will we squeeze out the paint out of these little bottles put them in little tubes for you and then send you some of these sponges so these sponges are also in our Amazon store and they're on our website and I think in the interest of time we're not gonna use the sponges today we will use the roller but the kit comes with the sponges and you're using it with kids or doing this kit with kids then sponges are the way to go are they yes you don't think sponges are just as dangerous as a roller well I just feel like with a roller any old thing could get rolled rolling a conversation telling a story I guess little sponges would be less damage Bernice says I really wanted to get a glow forge but it was out of my price range we understand that yep I was hearing a lot about the X tool do you think this is a better choice for a beginner I think the X tool is an affordable way to get into the laser game so if you want to try a laser and see what it's all about an X tool is the way to go you can get one for this we have the 10 watt they now have a 20 watt you can get the 10 watt for less than a thousand dollars bang yeah less than a thousand bucks it's like $907 so it's a great way to try it out if you decide you want to make a business from it then you'll probably want to go to a bigger laser this like he said this garland that we did which is what five ghosts and four bats nice how many bats six bats and there's five bats five ghosts right is it that is that what it is oh I think there's six ghosts here six ghosts five bats took an hour and a half so it's not fast 120 but you can really get a feel for if you like using a laser well I mean it's it's not bad but a cricket can't do this cricket couldn't do something like that so yeah I mean that's right there and if you were doing small things like ornaments and you want to sell small ornaments you could probably knock those out and do that with the X tool oh yeah I was just talking about making Christmas ornaments that I'd like to take the I want to take the X tool with us to craft shows and start engraving like names and personalizations on the spot he was just saying that this morning I can totally do it out of the back of it out of the back of the car well I don't know about in the car yes it does have the back open you know I don't know I don't do it while I'm driving parked obviously let's see you know don't laser and drive Maria hello from Washington State and do you have a referral code we do it should be in the description of this video oh that done I got that got that working Maria says check out Paper Mart they're having a ribbon sale thank you Maria all about that yeah we need more ribbon you know can never have too much ribbon stored everywhere and stashed in nooks and crannies what yeah what color we do in here I'm just pressing them yeah black and white the bats are black they are ghosts are white you don't want to flip it up no I don't kind of nope I'm gonna stick with some you won't flip the script average your average goes to run in the mill yeah you're running the mill goes to bears thanks Candace Candace is out there doing all of her fun things doing all the things that we should be doing passing along the patreon link yeah doing all the things we should be doing if you're new here and you're enjoying this video so far hit that like button and don't forget to hit that subscribe button and tick that bell to be notified of our new videos each week and I mean each week even if we're sick we will come on and muscle through it live well I really I plan I plan B this week was to have court come on and do this with me that's what I told care I was like we can go live on Friday no and Courtney can sit here and we can paint these and just talk about some Halloween crafts I mean this is what she's telling me on my deathbed I can easily replace you don't worry I don't think you're easily replaced that's we already have the graphic made and everything I kind of messed up I mean I was just coughing a little bit I think I want to go for a walk all right so these have one coat on them and they're gonna need a second coat so we'll give them just a moment to dry but in the meantime we can go ahead and work on our beads I need a little box a little box or bag bag okay all right we're gonna get out our beads I don't really know how many I need I estimated about 20 beads per color I have pre-painted these so that they're dry already so I won't do a whole bunch more but I didn't want to kind of show you what we were doing do you need more than one bag well I was gonna do two colors but I have already done them so if we just want to demo it's like a baking show we're doing them orange sure let's do orange I just squeezing this on yeah don't be quick that's plenty I use more more mustard on my burger and then we'll just pour these out on a paper plate let's see it's hard to see in the bag you can't tell oh yeah they look I'm sure they're all I'm sure they're all covered they look a little gloppy somebody might wait with too much paint I'm the paint that's surprising help you that oh look at how it's making that cool design on the plate maybe I shouldn't do it over the white goose yeah you want to do a magic trick where the other ones pop I don't even know where the other ones are they're right there I can't use them all right what if these were dry what would they look like less messy they look like me look I'm gonna sell this paint later on as a Jackson Pollock know you'll ever know yeah you said over there so you can you're holding it close to you you're not even sharing yeah see you guys later all right so that's how I did these beads now I did lay them out on a paper towel because it didn't have a paper plate and I wouldn't recommend that because some of them still have some paper towel pieces stuck to them because Grace helped me do these last night and she did exactly what you did she really thought that we needed a lot of paint to paint the black ones I did oh yeah I guess I need a lot of paint but I guess they just kind of roll around and bump up against each other and paint themselves all right well let's do a quick second coat that's all we need it was just that's how if you do a nice thin first coat all you need is that much time before you can recote are we just painting one side of the bad boys I would paint both sides but today in an interest of time because we have three projects to do I don't know why I'm so attached to this this dowel rod that I can't put it down I'm holding it with my neck while I'm painting I don't want anybody to take my toy while I'm doing so yes that's exactly what it is don't touch my bone all right all right now what now we string we string it right yeah let's drink that bad boy let's I don't know why everything's a bad boy today all right how about a little tape we'll get out our jute and we'll start stringing up a girl we're gonna put a little piece of this tape on the end to make it easy to string so it doesn't break I don't through guide on through to the other side I don't need to roll it up this far you don't need all of that tape I do not need all the same all right you want to do it what's happening how we going I think I'm gonna do I'm gonna do three beads I'm gonna do I'm gonna switch them up a black and orange and a black yeah and then we're gonna add a ghost well how many app yeah I have five goes six goes so we're gonna add a ghost and then a bat and then a ghost I got you so the strings behind his back all right like he's flossing pink still a little wet when you know surprise surprise now now a bat oh we're not going oh yeah yeah no you're right you're right you're right now I'm gonna rotate beads I'm gonna do an orange all right you're on beat patrol all right I'm ready behind the bats back to so we're gonna feed it from the front around the back we're gonna need more I think that's why we did this way so you just keep sliding you're down later on down probably gonna need more we got a lot of bats we got a lot of ghosts all right we want black orange black I can accept two two beads at a time I can do that I've been practicing I can hold like three beads at one time now now bad news with this baking show I did not pre-make one of these garland so we're gonna have to do all of this at once you guys have to suffer through the pain of watching me try to lose each bead in the middle there you go yeah see here we go here our ghosts all right orange black orange okay one at a time I'm spoon feeding you beads this is how you do it with your kids one at a time like one black yep one black oh you want to talk about our drive in today well first Diana asked exactly what you just said yes we would paint both sides Diana we just didn't today in an interest of time so that we could try and I'm hoping we can have three finished projects and we're done yeah we have a little story to tell you guys you want to hear about our funny drive in to work this morning we're all in a hurry we left the house well yeah let's just start from the beginning Kim after the pep rally so after the pep rally we get in the car and I'm going through the checklist to make sure we have everything and Kim's like we don't have all day we need to get going so then we get stuck behind a bus stop we're sitting in the car just sitting there and I was but I was like nobody's moving anywhere I'm like what are we doing let's go I said do you have a laptop do you have the PowerPoint for today she goes yes yes yes let's get going and then a bus passes as we're sitting there so then we have to get stuck behind this bus for two it said oh now we're behind this school bus so we sit behind this bus for two bus stops like there are 30 kids each and now they have to like punch in their student code to get on the bus or something a little ridiculous but the bus leaves and we're about to get on the actual road and leave our neighborhood and Kim goes I forgot the beads yeah I was like okay all that let's go back to get the beads and what she runs in and grabs the beads I hit ways real quick to see how long it'll take to get here and then it was like 845 man I don't even have a live set up yet I gotta get in there I don't know if the mic works yet I gotta hurry up so I'm driving in the fast lane I'm in the fast lane but I'm going with traffic and it's like Toyota Sequoia comes up in the slow lane all like crazy and there's barely any room between me in the car ahead of me and there's a moving truck in the Toyota Sequoia lane there's a big yes semi and she she comes out of nowhere we're coming up on the semi no big deal but here she comes here go sorry out of the right-hand lane really fast beside us and I'm like with her blinker on I said Garrett she's gonna try and get over and he was like she don't have any room and so he just he's just kept going and then she locks them up and well she went she put her blinker on and like went to get in my lane so I locked up the brakes she locks them up and then I was like all right well she locked them up I I got off the gas or got off the brake and back on the gas real quick cuz I am in traffic yeah like yeah then she passes us again on the right hand side and gives us the finger and I was like all right I didn't see it she gives us the bird and we so it's me Garrett and Jonathan is in the back seat but then she's really getting off on the next exit I don't understand what she was doing trying to get in front of me to get off at the next exit so she had to slow down and pass this again so I just thought it'd be funny I was like okay everybody in this car give her the finger because that'll be funny I didn't even see the first one I don't even care I just thought it'd be funny and just as we passed her to do it we all go together figure she puts her hand up yeah she had her deflector shields up yeah no bird received yep that bird is still three birds sitting out on the highway right we were already laughing she didn't even look our way she it was very impressive she won she won her first rodeo her first road rage incident oh shields up we were locked we didn't even get the satisfaction of giving it back to her I just thought it would be funny to get back to her but it blocked I got yeah it was I mean that was the first time I seen that move that highway move the handle talk to the hand talk to the highway and I'm gonna grab a scissor impressive yeah it was very funny we laughed we talked about the whole rest of the way and yeah all right here you want to hold one side and I'll hold oh I see three more man I did a great job guessing the bees kind of yeah kind of your one off Kim I mean I had a had a black I needed an orange that's okay oh you mean handing me to you I just meant the count the count yeah I was pretty impressed with my count check it out I know it's hard to see with us you're doing overhead maybe they could see it here there you go that's worse you guys want to see the tops of all their heads look at that top view look at this little guy it's not so cute it's long here hold it up yes it is about the size of our jam jam yeah it's not perfect hey we'll hang it this week we'll do it next Tuesday's live we'll have this behind us all right project number one little garland look how quick and easy that is and of course you can do something fun with these you can paint them some cute designs I did talk about maybe putting some DTF on these it was like no yeah last night at like six o'clock she's like ooh you know what we could do she loves to do like last-minute project add-ons she's like let's take it to the whole other level hey can I hang it up at the 11th hour you got tape well I think I could tuck it right can I just tuck it in no no no no you're scared yeah I don't know oh okay I don't remember if I glued it or screwed it you screwed it in too so can I oh we're just gonna tape it it's not gonna stick to that I don't know why you're trying to do it way up on the sign because it's not gonna stick to this it's not look at there all right that's fun all right project number one is done yeah that wasn't bad people are nuts yes people are nuts it was that was hilarious well I could tell she was in a hurry but you know I feel like everybody in the morning was in a hurry that was like we're in a hurry too we're gonna be late for our live almost like okay tapping your watch at the lady she handed you a hand to the face highway she was gone by then highway head yeah Kim starts doing those uh you know what I should have said you know what I should say I should tap my watch at her all right project number two all right ready project number two what are they called like block standings yeah little halloween standards is what I'm calling them halloween standards like is there like a name for them or something um I think I call them cube standards cube standards sounds even more vague all right so what do you step one and gather all of our supplies what do we need for this all right uh-huh step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies we needed some more some more quarter inch birch it's just a stunt double and we needed a half inch dowel rod and a four by four what was this this was a post a post now you can get these at Michael's or any of your craft stores maybe not quite this big this is a big old four by four one you can get a little smaller ones but you don't have to go and get a full four by four and cut it down we did because we have some porch post workshops coming up so I knew we were gonna use the four by four post uh so I just cut our own cubes now this one is made of pressure treated lumber of course we don't need that for this project but I want you to know that we went overkill it is soaking wet it is so wet but yeah I'm gonna stain it anyway I mean it's it's leaving uh it's wrinkling the paper when it sits on it marks the paper huh whose side whose side is still attached what do you know I told you you should have hooked it I can't believe yours hung on through all that I can't believe you're going back to the same spot like literally you're just like hold on I'm gonna make it more precarious I just felt like this was my was a better idea because it's right uh-huh I agree it looks a lot cleaner too let's see let's see all right move it on move it on all right we gather our supplies yeah gather our supplies all right step two we're gonna make all of our cuts sorry I wasn't ready for that one we're just gonna take this quarter inch birch back over to the x tool and we're gonna cut it out using the same speed and power settings hmm my eyes my hours aren't what they used to be hold on I'm gonna get all up in your face there we go desktop oh hold on did I show you in this one you guys want to watch the whole thing oh I didn't show you I thought I showed the board or the uh baking sheet that we used that's what I was gonna say at the end though you should I definitely showed it at the last one so since we did not I wasn't sure what order we are doing these it since we don't have the x tool um laser bed Garrett saw uh comments somewhere that someone just used a cookie sheet uh cookie yeah yeah like the cooling rack yes a cool a baking rack baking cooling rack um so I found this one at walmart in the garden section I found um a roasting rack for your grill so it actually has the rack oh is that what it came from uh huh whoa I thought the wheels were locked oh this is a different table this table didn't move yeah it had orange wheels yeah oh I mean it didn't physically move oh I totally moved okay all right so we've cut our four by four post down to a four by four block like we said we have taken our dowel which is 36 inches um long and half inch thick and we cut these down because it was 36 I just cut them in four sections of nine which I have right here I could not get the label off of this thing oh now I tried this morning and I couldn't get it off here it goes oh look at that I gave up I was gonna paint over it yeah and so now we just want to drill a little hole in the top of this we're gonna add a little wood glue and add our dowel down in here so it's a half inch dowel yes it's a half inch and I have a half inch paddle bit then I'm gonna drill do we want to paint our little um paint our little toppers so we're gonna put our toppers that we just cut out on the top of the dowel and then we can just set these on our mantle all right yeah you want to paint those first yeah let's do all the simple are you doing jack or the witch your choice I'll be jack he's cool or anyway and according to that lady this morning you're a witch anyway you heard her oh yeah have you seen those cubes drilled and painted to be dice and put in a bucket and you can play ya lawn yacht see yes we have a set and love it yes Diane that was one of our first videos yeah we made those a couple of years ago we made lawn dice and we actually still have them and do not go back and look for that video because I was I was back in the day when I was trying to get tricky with the camera effects I might have gone overboard on some of the things back in the day might be a little embarrassed this one I could use this one's going to be super easy to paint so so what color is this backer finger um white and black white to black you're just going white to black what's white and black here well this is going to be a stain stained dark color so white background black letters yes okay gotcha and like I'm pretty much done already yeah could I add these uh well I guess I'll just do it right here what are those black mm-hmm and then I'm gonna paint my little pieces you want to go overhead so they can see what you're doing I guess so you guys want to actually see what's happening I guess yeah I'm just using this tricorn black I'm rolling and I'm going to roll your wicked you want to roll your wicked I'm not going to be responsible for breaking your wicked can you pass me the purple over there because I'm going to paint my hat black and purple there you go you got a match now these are real easy to paint today so kind of did all of this in preparation for a live you just did the cuts really and painted the beads well I mean thinking about the color scheme so I didn't have to have a whole lot of like paint time with lots of colors I'm gonna say Tuesday lives colors and fonts take up the majority of our project times somebody asked if the score marks get covered up by the paint barely you can see them there's a shadow of them left and that's how we that's how we place them you can barely see it I'm gonna do a second coat show you here so let me turn it right side up so you can see it we went ahead and scored the little placard pieces so we'll know right where to put our letters we do that all the time on our rounds so that you'll know where to replace everything and this I only needed a tiny little bit of purple to paint her little band her hat band homeboy is gonna need a second coat of white Kim wants me to make a sally I don't even know how to make a little standy sally yeah I wanted to do a standy sally too yeah and then can you get the yellow and do her little belt buckle there these are all Kim's things this week I had nothing to do with them I was in a chair with a hoodie over my face yeah you are not not having it this week I think I was pouting well what happened is I got one of the man colds yeah those things are horrible well and at one point I mean his chest was so bad I was worried he had COVID but yeah he didn't it's not tested negative and he got over it really quickly it's a few days I was really just down that one day and then pretty much and cranky the other day you're so cranky and what was it on Tuesday yeah I think I was tired I was already getting sick on Tuesday Anna says oh your dice yeah wish I had a template when I made mine would have been so much easier love the dirt wood and white dots just use the black paint for the dots yeah we did I forgot all right Candice you're on it I forgot we had our little dice template out there I did too yeah that was easier oh a little box for Thanksgiving or Christmas would be awesome too yes yes actually this was inspired by something I saw in one of the farmhouse magazines it was an ad and I just saw it sitting in the back and I was like oh I want to make those so there is one that had a little red truck at the top so I think a little turkey on one you can do a lot of little things I could do the truck up on one yeah yeah this one I wanted to do a ghost but since I already had the ghost garland I decided that we would do a Jack Skellington like I said I was trying to get here to do a Sally but he wasn't he wasn't feeling well enough to figure out how to create a little standy Sally I do have some gloves ready if you want to stay in these do you want me to drill the hole first or stay in them first um you can drill the hole first all right while we're waiting for our little pieces of dry we'll go ahead and move on to hole drillings yeah is this like step three oh step two paint step three make all your cuts or drill all your holes step one gallery stuff two make all your cuts we totally skipped three paint I didn't even get to throw that thing again step four we're gonna drill our holes just gonna put a half inch hole using a half inch paddle bit and about the center of each of these blocks and how far down enough so that I could slap some glue in the air you should use eye protection I got my eye protection built in ready no let's not do it with your no squint thing bam got that sawdust everywhere yeah right on our painted pieces yeah hold on oh look at that thing over there and maybe grab a little paintbrush we can like dust it off here okay do you want me to blow it yeah you're just gonna breathe all over it all right we have our little two holes drilled let's see oh we're we're facing this camera I'm not mad there we go um I'm gonna use a little for this one I'm not going to use the stain rag or our stain pads because I only do in two little blocks here so I'm just going to use a couple of paper towels here dip it in our stain and wipe it down real quick super easy I'm going to use this dark stain because this is what I could find quickly this morning this is dark walnut min wax dark walnut and if you didn't know you can use a pair of scissors to open a pink I covered everything in germs now we're good to go good it's all good now did you take my little paper towel you didn't I did here I don't know if I would use this dark walnut it's a little darker than I was envisioning not too bad go back to overhead you can see what I'm doing all I'm doing is going to stain this little block right here and then I shared on one of our Tuesday lives we've been using like these dipped gloves as our stain gloves and we just reuse them instead of wasting so many rubber gloves yeah you've been able to reuse well I like those better than the rubber gloves anyway my hands don't seem to fit in the rubber gloves they feel like they're all like can you hand me the a dry paper towel so I can wipe this down wipe it down wipe it I'm heating up the hot glue oh you're gonna hot glue it I'm hot glueing it I got this glue a glue hot glue these glue glue sticks I think this jam will hold it all right stained her up looking cute stain her up dude second one oh Sharon says good one oh oh that's pretty uh I got an idea can you open this bag I dropped my paper towel looking at good morning Shannon and to say good morning to Sharon Sharon Sharon oh goodness you're gonna get all sweaty plus I just got it in my glove you have to be careful with that you got it in your glove now yep it'll be on my thumb when I take my hands out you get the brown thumb what else do we have going on you had a nice craft show over the weekend oh yeah you guys weren't there on Tuesday where I was raving about our last craft show I love that place like anybody been to Matthews Virginia well I've been to Matthews Virginia before there's like nothing there but this craft show was amazing well our spot was amazing maybe that was it and maybe it was the weather maybe it was the all the local bands right across the way maybe it was the fact that my booth was a hop skip and a jump literally to the bathroom like I could get out of my chair hop skip jump into the restroom pretty much yeah and it was not even a porta potty it was a real restroom locking door had a window working sink with soap and it was always stocked with paper towels I mean does it get any better are we gonna do the dowel rods you're gonna stain those you're gonna paint those I was gonna paint it black paint them black oh I got these here we go only a little bit on my thumb just like I said is a dip too far because the thing about these great you flew too close to the sun these dipped gloves says you know you can't there's rubbery on the front but it is open on the back side so you don't want to get the back of your hand breathe too much too much stain on the back of your hand all right while you do that I could do your second coat of white I did it already oh you did on it yeah I am that good I'm I'm like with projects like that lady is with a road rage seasoned she's seasoned so she was able to give you the hand so fast she knew there was blowback involved look at that hey when we put some hot glue down in there put some glue down in there can you guys see those yeah can you go yeah yeah oh let's see how we have them now oh we're hot we're go we'll go we're go we're go we're go on the glue whoops oh somebody went and gone on the glue oh my trigger fingers too too strong cool my craft hand is strong Kim all right well we're just going out of order here I think we're supposed to do oh I got excited yep yep step five yep is this five a symbol that do we even have it's going to flip it's glue it's the heaviest one all right yeah step five time to glue it we're going to use this star bond thick just going to glue all of our little pieces together so for our jack and our witch hat I did cut a base piece and then I'm just going to glue the painted pieces right on top of the base pieces tape has it stuck yeah this tape is it is more than we're just going to add these right on here and glue it right together and then from here this is where it gets tricky how are we getting tricky after that get she says she might have a trauma idea with the rubber gloves ready oh all right so I say that Sharon was from South Dakota you did not drama oh how's the weather in South Dakota what's the temperature up there right now cool I'm just going to add the glue on here on our scored pieces so I'm going to add our words so that we can then mount that to the block we need a better overhead so you guys kind of see what I'm doing here oh you know what I want for breakfast I want an elephant eye for breakfast does anyone know what that is I feel like you made that up oh you know what a breakfast elephant eye is right the egg inside the toast it's like you cut a hole in the toast with the like a cup and then you put the toast in the pan already buttered up it starts to fry up and then you add the egg in the middle of the toast I've never heard of it so he started making them it's like a thing right maybe it's a northern thing versus a southern thing I don't know did you guys even have like egg in a toast thing there down here like what would you have called that thing nothing you guys would have called it something like tickle to can jerry right no that's um christine ashley ashley I don't have my plate where's your trucker says please do more lives I love the stunts unedited you guys are the best yeah the stunts I tell you guys you should see them sometimes when we're filming he doesn't always put the outtakes but every video I think we could do an outtakes of him throwing so I could here's why I don't oh this I have to like there we go remember where that part was and then come back and flip it man I have a hole do we score first then cut it's just all part of the same cut process so we uh actually that was a good question I always score last because score seems to be more smoky so I'll do my cuts then my scores and I do that mainly because I started that on the big lasers and glow forge and I just happened to carry it over to the x tool I couldn't tell if I got more smoky or during the score on the x tool oh but you know what I want I want that box that um what is it called you showed me yesterday yeah so x tool does have a an enclosed enclosure box so as you could see that the x the x tool was um open it's like an open it's just a frame and then the wood is right there kind of exposed and open but you can get a an enclosure for it and encapsulate the whole thing oh that didn't work yeah what happened nothing we're good we're good it's all good it's all good what do you guys have for breakfast this morning I haven't even had my coffee yet it's why my shirt's still clean I couldn't risk having coffee out of day where I was going live first thing in the morning all right we did a little witch hat it's not adorable I'm just cleaning up the edges where I got a little crazy with the white paint it's a thing but I've never called it that Tyra said oh we call it toad awesome toad all right I like that one weird is what we call it Cheryl tickle to can is Cheryl hi Cheryl thank you will these projects be on patreon oh yeah I'll totally put all these everything I do I put up there all right so a little about sharing all right so our next step we need to push that down just a little bit so they can kind of see it yeah I need to back is to mount we're like all up in her face hold on tell me if it's straight why you guys hold on hold on everybody just had to move the camera still straight yes so oh Diana says I've heard of it it was called hole in one that sounds hole in one that makes more sense than Ella sounds right I don't know I didn't make it up I just love them hi Donna she says she's sneaking a peek first time live sneak to peek from work hey Donna oh it's got calls of eggs in a basket I think I've heard that too yeah well not too I think I've called I think I've heard of eggs in a totally going on these jams like to the top like that no are we making them go up I wanted mine halfway so I don't know how like halfway yeah like right there it's gonna be like right there yeah all right hold on I'm gonna mark the back okay that's what I'm gonna put all my glue all right so my idea was to do a really skinny dowel and then drill a hole in this half inch uh hat now and set it down on there but that is a lot of work so Garrett is confident that this gorilla hot glue will hold it yeah I just put a bunch of glue on there what I say like that on there and I'm just gonna mash it in there I hope it's straight just a couple more of those maybe we should have dowel we should have done that we were too anxious with our dowel although it is holding we were too down quick yes too down quick with it I think it's holding I think it's good look it's holding already yeah we're good yeah we're good are you want me to do yours sure all right don't even look like it's sliding or anything golden all right add my glue he is putting uh hold it up so you can see because now we have that overhead camera yeah jump the gun on the last one you were making sure it worked yeah before we touted yeah so I drew where I thought the dowel would be and then he just filled that little space up full of hot glue I'll set it right in there there's a straight here all right hold that for like 10 15 minutes Kim all right I'm just gonna glue my little uh plaque on the front ooh oops who made these files Kim oops I'll send it on there I thought I made it the correct size did you make it four inches you did a four by four is actually 3.5 inches oops all right this is what happens when you do these projects live I would have if I had filmed this we would have corrected the size before we added to the video that's good it happens people need to see we're all humans all right mine's all done Kim's still holding hers I don't know why oh I think it's good no yeah well here's the problem you didn't blow on yours I heard no blowing over there there's a couple more of those hold on don't yeah get this back in down okay don't press too hard all right I'm gonna have to hold my eyes just take this alone I don't know oh yours dried really quickly yeah although I think I just touched this face with my I did my gluey finger sponge wedge you guys see my guy all right it's starting to dry yeah I think it's good yeah I think you're good all right here's my little witch well you gotta put your wicket on there and now yeah and now I'm gonna put my two big placard because I think I did these four inches I think he's right so do them three and a half look at them that's gonna be so cute I think I like how it sticks out a little bit well maybe not for Jack because his name is so short yeah his name is short but I thought it looked good with wicked I think that's pretty upside down that's when you do these things live you can lay it down yeah lay it on down bring it on back bring it on back all right stick it right on there yeah looks good yeah see I think I like it with the wider oh yeah I think I like it with the wider on the wicket aren't these adorable hey you don't even have a face how are you talking Kim it's under there it's hiding oh I'm obscuring my face like Orco all right so it's 1009 this last project if you're still hanging on with us give us a few more minutes because this last one is super quick this is the dm cute yeah well let me take a sip keep this right here so you can see it all right let's just project number three project number three what are they called I forgot right lantern boxes oh yeah lantern boxes step one get my stunt board yep step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies we really just needed some of that Baltic birch that we've been using throughout all of the projects or this little kit we're gonna put in our store which might be out of MDF yes it will definitely be out of MDF I wanted to do at it at MDF but I wasn't sure the x tool get through it all stick into this getting me done step two we're gonna make all of our cuts I was gonna bring this quarter inch Baltic birch back over to the x tool and we're gonna cut out all of our little boxes to show you a little video yep I'm gonna show my little video and this one I have the pan yeah this one you'll see the pan we were talking about there it is well hold up and the new desktop yep this is the pan I think it was like six bucks it was it was six dollars over in the barbecue grill section so look at look how perfect that worked out pro tip put that uh um that little wire over there on the right it kept pulling on the board so I just put a sponge off to the side I'll take a picture later kind of held that this wire over here kind of held it out of the side I put a sponge over there again I used three millimeters per second hundred power you know I probably should have gone two millimeters per second with two passes but it still popped out pretty good right everything came out fine so we have all of our little pieces Brooke says she's on the ferry and lost cell service for a few so I'm behind but Garrett so when the glue was fantastic so did you make a hemean reference you guys I don't even hear all the crazy stuff he says that's so funny your hat your hat kind of reminded me of uh orco from somebody already put one together are we painting these or anything are we just putting them together are you gonna stain them yeah I well no I was thinking I would paint them I say we just go in raw all right yeah I mean oh you guys want to know how I made these let me show you let me show you how I made these I did that too well I could talk you through it real quick hold on I got them old eyes so I gotta get all up in your face to see the screen so I went to makercase.com or not even yeah it is.com look at that and then you can pick out a box this is how you just start with stuff that does have a box I set my dimensions I think the smallest one was four by four by four and again I measured this material and it's not quite quarter inch it's point two so I was able to put that into the little application here you can set how how wide you want your little finger tabs I just left mine default I'm gonna get rid of those words because they show up as like engraved pieces and then I downloaded it I right clicked opened it in adobe illustrator that comes in with a like a seven point outline I just brought it down to one point now I did want to have like a little top to each of these boxes oh kim gave me some faces so I just went stole a face from the cut file that Kim gave me for the faces brought it down to like three inches I think I'm about to find out yeah three inches center it center it now I do want to top on these so what I did is I made a five inch box because this is a four inch box I made a five inch square and then I made a four inch square oh let me fill it I'm gonna go get a palette and then fill it I made a five inch square then I made a copy of that five inch square to make it a four inch square centered one inside the other then use the path tool to do a minus I use the path tool path finder tool to do a minus removing the four inch square from the five inch square giving it a frame then I took this bottom piece and I'm going to move it into the center I'm going to center it then I'm going to fill it so it's all filled I'm going to select both and then I'm going to come back to the path finder tool and unite them so now I got a nice little cap not just a box top so wow that was so cute copy paste paste make two of them so I have one for the top one for the bottom now let's export this as an svg now I have gotten questions about you know they've exported an svg but you bring it into your software and it doesn't come in at the right size it comes in gigantic or it comes in small so what you want to do for that is you want presentation attributes svg you want your images embedded I just keep regular regular object names IDs I don't care about the layer names really when I go to cut something you want to make sure you don't have this minify or responsive that means this responsive it'll adjust itself to whatever canvas you put it on so it's like you bring it into a large 36 inch canvas yeah like a large 36 inch canvas it's going to scale to that if you bring it into a 12 inch canvas it's going to scale to that so just uncheck responsive and your settings like say you set it to four inches as you cut file it should show up inside your cut software at four inches like whatever you set it to so here's my little top you see how quickly we made that that's easy yeah all right let's assemble this little guy yeah give you guys some nuggets knowledge nuggets first thing on a friday morning man oh i should be releasing class number one this weekend yeah so we if you join our tuesday live or if you're part of our patreon group garret is going to do a crafters version of adobe illustrator illustrator for crafters so how we would do and use graphics in our um door rounds how you take svgs make svgs um modify svgs oh i'm gonna do well i'm gonna have to make a door round we're gonna do projects the whole time including how to export it as a png with a drop shadow so you can put it on your website or something make it look realistic but i'll be walking you through how to make a door round what yeah wait you need your lance you need your candle i need my candle oh wait this one let me give this one to you we got these candles from walmart these little led candles yeah oh cheater you saw me do it this morning i had to actually use my teeth to pull that little red thing out that little red tab out that was how hard it was in there and then you can collapse these and see look how easy these are going to be the store yeah let me put my little lid back on i don't know let me just stack them all look at this little cute guy and he'll sit right on your little mantle he did a little three set of the small ones what sizes are these oh four six and eight they're full all four inches wide and then it's four inches tall six inches tall eight inches tall so for that i just went into that maker case i did the four inch one i exported it and i just changed four to six exported it six to eight exported it and then i'd open each one inside um illustrator add a face to it and then once i made the box top once for the four incher i then just copied that box top for the four and eight because it's the same top roll and then i thought we could offer these larger ones you know you can set these out on your porch yeah but these are for the little mantle size probably use these as helmets look take the bottom off bam helmet yeah really gotta squeeze your head in there no someone says you know they're great to stack on your porch yes these big ones for sure i made a scary one but kim didn't really care i didn't cut the oh yeah i didn't yeah we have different faces that we could put on them i thought this little guy was hilarious i don't know you can go get faces it's got a little buck teeth go to canva.com and just select some scary pumpkin faces i think you look for jack-o-lantern yep as element just throw it on the thing export it as an svg make sure to click invisible backer or something what is it like transparent backer
