 We just took our friend's business logo and turned them into some real life signs Using our glow forge and some resin and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up welcome back do you like to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video each week This week. It's favorite for a friend Friday We have a friend Jesse who has a travel agency and he needs a big sign of his logo Yep, he came by the farmers market and saw the sign that we put on the front of our checkout booth and he was like Can you guys make me one of those and we were like of course we can But the trick is we got to make it go ahead. It's got to be durable It's got to be able to travel it's got to fit inside his carry-on suitcase, right? So We're like great. We can make you a little one But if you know us we also want to make you a big one So we're gonna make a couple versions today and we're gonna try a couple of different techniques And we're gonna show you guys how we do it Yeah, we're gonna try one with short little letters out of eighth inch birch Then we're gonna try some out of quarter inch letters But we're gonna coat it in resin and then we're gonna get really poppy for the last one and really bring out That beach theme with some more resin. Yep. Yep So we found that with the quarter inch letters that are really thin They weren't great if you're gonna hang that thing on your door and leave it there But if you're gonna travel with it like Jesse wants to do in an out-of-a-suit case on a table off a table On another table. Yeah, they'll they'll easily get crushed moving around and they'll break Especially if they're tiny thin little letters and what he has is going to be thin little letters at the bottom So we're gonna try that eighth inch version and we're gonna paint that one And we think that's gonna make that one very durable for travel But we've got a solution for the quarter-inch version that I also think is gonna make it durable for travel And that's the resin and we're gonna try that too Step one we have to convert his image Into something that we can cut so he gave us a high-resolution PNG and I'm gonna take it in the illustrator Convert it and cut it. I'll meet you over there To we're gonna gather over supplies. We needed some quarter-inch MDF some eighth-inch birch plywood some glue a little bit of paint and Resin yeah, we'll be using our total boat resin for this project. Although we did look at the Illuma light Deep pour resin, but I don't think we're gonna end up doing a deep pour and it takes a whole lot longer to cure Too long to cure it's like five to seven days Well to fully cure days. Well, it'll work if you were doing a deep pour so I found that at Michaels That seemed pretty cool, but since I don't think that's what we're gonna end up going with I wasn't sure Yeah, I think it'd be like coats. Yeah, I think we're gonna use this tabletop resin plus doesn't have to be food grade So they illuminate deep or is food grade. We'll just tell them don't eat off the sign Do you not eat off? Don't eat your lunch on this. It's not tray It looks tasty Don't do it Step three We're gonna make all of our cuts I'm gonna bring up the birch and the MDF over to the glue forge. I'm gonna cut out all three signs Right now. No way. I don't have to turn it back on super efficient We're gonna paint all of the signs right now while we have the paint out might as well get it all done so we have our Birch our eighth inch birch We have a couple couple here in case I mess something up or lose a piece. I already lost the piece Luckily, I cut like three. We did this one in what size is this like 12 inch? Yeah, it's like 11.5 11 and a half inch and this will sit on the table real easy and sit in a stand really easily and then this one is Closer to 14 inches 13.75 13.75 should still sit fit inside the suitcase But be a little thicker a bigger and then the other on this guy This is where we're gonna try to make it pop Throw some resin ocean down there with a little bit of beach Maybe somebody laying out on the beach getting all sunburn. I don't know. No, probably not that far But this one it is a lot of cruises at least he's booked a couple of cruises for us And we thought we'd try the ship's wheel for this one give it that extra little pop That extra pizzazz All right colors should be pretty easy So for this one we are gonna use some acrylic paint and not our country cheek chop chalk paint Which we love though. I think to add the resin on top of some of these We're gonna use the acrylic and the Now we're gonna glue it down with this star bond. It should stick forever and it's pretty fast We have one thing a glil. Oh This was not there five seconds ago. I don't know where you pulled down. I got you back I got you back. That is so funny. I had a no-air They look awesome. That's the big one. They look great. See them. They look great We're still sticking sticking to my fingers Little messed it up. Yeah, so I'm gonna dry for a minute. I'm gonna take the small one out and hit it with that whole lot of a polyacrylic like layers on layers on layers They're gonna give this thing a real coat of spray seal it up and soak it in yeah Yeah, spray it down It's not gonna be out in the weather that I know of I just think that you want to make sure that it's durable The paint doesn't smudge. Yes, you'll be able to wipe it clean. Yeah, so this one's done the like He definitely has one. Yeah, he's got one Yes, so now we're gonna take this 14-inch air and Fill it with epoxy Dry first step six Now we're gonna pour the resin Over top of the MDF the quarter-inch MDF one the table looks pretty level Kim's convinced it's level enough. It is. It's even more level when you set it on the side Okay, all right, so we hope it's level level. We're gonna mask up level So The resin that didn't really work. I don't know if you can see all the bubbles and everything What happened was we had to go to dance class. I popped all the bubbles with the heat gun We ran the dance class and when I came back it looked like a sprite There are so many bubbles So I tried to take the heat gun out again and pop them all but all that really did is kind of Moke the resin and make it look gooey in places. It was like a gel by the time we got back and It just didn't work. It did not work out but When we're doing the painting and gluing I made two of them just in case So I'm gonna go hit this one with some gloss Like gloss clear coat Maybe we won't get so many bubbles if I seal it first I think the pour is in the MDF is what really caused all those bubbles So I'm gonna try to seal it with gloss. I'll meet you outside We forgot what step we're on but we're on the last sign where we're gonna add some resin to it We're gonna add a beach theme behind here and then glue the sign on top of it Fingers crossed glue the letters and the ship on top. Yeah. Yeah glue the design Yeah on top. Yeah Yes, so we're gonna do three different colors, we're gonna do a darker blue a medium blue a light blue Well four and the white Those waves crash and then we decide to add sand. We've been back and forth on whether or not to add sand Yeah, I'm thinking a teeny bit of sand just right at the tippy bottom Yeah, I don't want it to be because this is gonna have words on it I don't want the sand to change the texture of the resin. I do want it to still be flat So just a little at the bottom, I think yeah I'm thinking either teeny bit of a bit of better sand teeny bit of sand teeny bit of better sand I'm thinking either just a teeny bit of sand or no sand Teeny bit of sand The resin into these other cups so we can add the pigment Super dry. I was thinking you need a lot more pigment, but that pigment seemed to go wrong All right, we're gonna start with the dark blue at the top then we're gonna do the light blue the teal And then throw some light waves upon it He gun wasn't cutting it. We want with a tiny leafblower. Don't let this sit for four hours. Bam. Look at that thing That thing looks good So nice. I was becoming very disappointed with resin, but This now you back yet. Yeah Suck me back in Now we're going to glue the letters down and the design and everything to the resin But I made a template so we should just be able to lay this on and drop the pieces in All right, let's do it Should we dry fit it first? To fix in there Well, no because I think you're seeing back out Yeah, I don't want the glue to leak under and glue these things to it. So I want to raise it Okay Well, you want to use a couple of these popsicle sticks How about I hold it for you as you drop them in there Use this because This is just a tiny little bit of glue and it's less likely to ooze out from underneath So should I do it on there or put it on the letters in this case? Yeah I know Garrett prefers to glue on the board and then put the words on the board But that works great when you have The cameras just went out that works great when you have the Scoremarks to place the letters, but in this case we don't we're having to use this frame so But I do that and you do the placing Day Careful careful sticky hey the edges look okay Glue it and I'll drop it Get fancy with the glue level you turned it to the right song why'd you do that? Yes Maybe back a little bit to the left. What do you mean left? All right, you guys ready look at that. Let's hold it up this way Does it look level it doesn't look like it needs to come to the right? Just a little oh you kept saying left, huh? It's good. They'll be too. Wow to see that the sand is slightly off center That's what we meant for it to be You're flying in over top of the beach. It's slightly at the window. I think it looks great All right, we were gonna fill this one with resin, but because we couldn't get the other two to work This one didn't work that one didn't work. We're not even gonna attempt to see No, it just kept bubbling Constantly bubbling and wouldn't stop So this one was almost there almost there and then it really started a bubble and then I picked it up to go Show Kim and I thought it was pretty solid and I tilted it to show her and I dumped it all over the table All over my shoes all over the floor And what he means he brought it to me to show me he brought it down the stairs Through the kitchen cross the kid. Yeah across the kitchen Down the hall and to the front room where I was this teetering jelly pie He brought me and by the time he got to me to show me I was like, what is that? And it was oozing resin everywhere all the way down the hallway All way well, what did you spend the next 30 minutes doing? cleaning up the hallway He's down there freaking out. It was like give me some paper towels. Give me something to scrub Oh It was a mess and we already gave Jesse his two other signs, so yes This has been a couple of day process here. This wasn't all done in one day So we had to hurry up and give Jesse the two that we did that we just painted so that he could take it on his business trip so if you follow we book travel on Facebook you'll see that he's left for his business trip and And He doesn't get to take these awesome signs with him yet. Yeah, well, I don't know maybe it's a display sign I think you could put a little hinge back here and have this I mean look at that on a table. Wouldn't that be awesome? That'd be an eye catcher I do think I'm gonna put a stand and a hinge so you can stand it up. It's not that tall. I think it'll be great All right. Well, I think we're out of time So if you are not joining us for the patron after show we will see you next week We'll do it build it and make it again Yeah, you know Maybe you could use that like a frisbee and chuck it into the woods. Oh man, this would knock somebody out This might take out a tree
