Today is test cut Tuesday
We uh, no, you gotta tell them Merry Christmas. Oh, Merry Merry Christmas
So, of course
This is Christmas in July. So we thought we'd kick off the month with our first text cut Tuesday
with some standing
Christmas
Christmas standards. Yeah, they actually have little stands porch standards. Yeah, our desk Sanders are not too large
So they could go outside or inside
we actually designed these last year for Lois and
We never actually published them so
Have them never use them. Yeah, I never put them out anywhere. So how does a little
Weary on the height she thinks it's too tall or too small. She thinks it needs to be a foot taller
or like
12 inches tall period 18 inches. She thinks they're too big. What do you think? Do you think they're too big too small?
Well, you're getting a little overzealous. I haven't said hello to anyone. Oh, we don't even know who's here
There we go, but you could stand them up. I thought that was kind of cute. All right
At these little pieces they go on the back
It doesn't tip over
Yeah. All right. We got some people in here Megan's here Cheryl tickle to can is here Lois here
Justin hi, Justin
and
cakes and crafts
Don't know her name Jason
Kelsey from Rose City, Texas
Sandra gents is here
Feline creations, who's that?
I don't know your first name or don't have it on my list
You got to give it get it put on get put on the list
Cynthia says oh I want to make them now
Yeah, I think they're gonna be cute. So what is their height here? I don't 18 inches Oh 18 inches
So do you think yeah, give me your opinion on this. We want to know is 18 inches the right height
I don't if I'm gonna ship them. I can't ship them much bigger than that
and
Or should they be shorter like a little more like desktop size?
Probably could sit on like a fireplace
I could probably make a cut and Santa to make them bigger so he could ship hide it under his belt
Like you got a little liposuction Oh fine line fine line is
Tony
Virginia and Tony. Oh, yeah. It's the trucker handles that throw me every time. Yes
Yes, you guys were on our patron call
Well, my pieces are white
Let me write them down when I see him
Cynthia wants to know if she missed the picture of the finished product
Well, Cynthia, not really because the pictures are terrible day Garrett did not do a good job filling in the real colors
I just it's not some colors. Yeah. Well this Christmas. Well
It's great. He's gray, but
We're gonna make him brown and it's gonna be there a little reindeer. Yeah, here we go
Yeah, that's what we're making today a little base I have a little base at the bottom that's this piece
Like I just colored in the SVG. I didn't even like
Go to town with the colors. That's Kim Kim goes to town with the colors
Yeah, I make sure that it looks like I wanted to in Adobe Illustrator. I don't know how to paint it
I'm just the cut guy cut file guy
airline
Limit squeezy wait wait wait
Diana's from Charleston Diana. We were in Charleston last weekend. I think mine is mostly white
Maybe some aged gray or his beard
Cheryl says she's super excited about the Halloween coffin that you're working on. Did you post something about it?
yeah, I posted the patrons asked them if it should be a wiener or like a
Stander a porch stander. I never know help. There are no help. I got a lot of votes for both. That's right. Yeah both
Well, I think you should do it as both make a little guy like this and then make a
Actual like that's all I don't know. No, how are you gonna ship it?
Oh that one I can easily put in two pieces with some puzzle pieces probably three pieces
like yeah
You could do as tall as like maybe
Maybe 36. Yeah, I could do 36
36 would be there'd be two pieces because the planks that go over it
I could put a puzzle piece back there and then you just glue it. It's like the yeah, I can do them like the
Christmas presents a little 3d Christmas presents one
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, all right. Debbie says they she likes of the height that they are and Lois says 18 inch was perfect shipping was great
Tanner did a great job
18 inch I think is a good size
Tim is here from California Tim from Cali
No, we're part of California, that's a very long state
Tim what part of Cali?
Takes and crafts. You guys are awesome. Everybody's giving me their real names to go along with their trucker handles as Garrett
Call them your trucker handles
That's Rhonda and she's from
Ready to go moved. Hold on. I'm gonna find her again. Here. It is Wasaga Beach, Canada. Oh
Wasaga Beach, Canada, it sounds familiar
You know cuz I'm always in Canada
Debbie wants to know if we're gonna add lights. I don't know Debbie. I thought the same thing to what to these little guys
Should we like a little hanging lights on them or something?
Is that what you're thinking like Christmas lights on them or something else lit up like his nose lit up? Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, like a little LED for his nose. Yeah, I was thinking maybe
backlit
backlighting on
Caroline wants to know do you spray them with poly to weatherproof them?
No, we don't we put the we use exterior house paint and they hold up great as is I feel like the
MDF holds up pretty good
Anyway, like that test board that I had in the straight rain Kristen's here from Ohio, Ohio
It's my roots
San Diego
Sacramento, this is a great time for California one o'clock. Good lunch. Oh, yeah. Good lunchtime hour
What do you guys having for lunch? I had a turkey sandwich today
Patricia says hello from West Virginia. Love me some Christmas in July. Yep. I didn't know it was such a thing

So kind of getting into that Christmas mode trying to do the Christmas designs and start to get ready
Yeah
Yes, Debbie said red nose
SC is, South Carolina
Yeah, where is it? We're in South Carolina. She was asking. Yeah, that's Grace's roots
Alright, well, we're both doing we're both painting today. So I guess yeah, I better get started on behind
You need some red
No, not yet I do need
So this one unless you're gonna change it. I'm gonna have to do a fine line here
Do some coloring in the lines for his breasts because I think it needs to be like the lighter brown
I think you could do it. I think you got it in you
I don't like to have to paint inside the line. So I make Garrett do all these layers or easy painting
Yeah, and I hate painting inside the lines like the score marks forget it I am NOT staying in a score mark
I like being able to paint kind of sloppy and then just put it all together
Kind of sloppy like I can't go over the edge. But otherwise
My Santa base is painted
Doesn't have to be neat back here
There's a lot of white on my guy my guy
Well, you should have started with that. I think unless they're all layers all over here as though I should do this
mittens
Well good mitten
My fingers can touch
Yep, Lois said fairy lights would work attached to the back. She might try it on Rudolph. Yeah, try it on Rudolph
Let me see what it looks like
Wrap them in the
Ashley says London Times says hi from Alabama. It's her daughter Cassidy's birthday today. Oh, happy birthday Cassidy
How old are you?

Oh, that's cool
Yes, these
Totally fit in the Glowforge. I that's why I maxed it out at like 18
So it would fit in the Glowforge
Both both fit in the Glowforge. I
Think I had to cock the
reindeer to the side
No, sorry
Sorry, Lois. Sorry you guys you guys couldn't hear me the whole time, huh?
She was doing all the talking to
All right, that's why we are late we are late cuz Kim was putting her mic on and she never turns Lois
So using MDF can't hear Kim can't hear him
Maybe I think I might have just hit it and trying to move it. I must have been on before
It was totally on before
Kristen says it's her birthday today to you. Oh, happy birthday Kristen. How old are you?
Don't answer that I just
Alright, let me grab my rollers over here. Yeah, I'm almost done. Where you at? I'm about ready to glue
Yeah, I am
Wow, these will be super fast. Oh
I got red on here. Hope this weight covers
Those two we haven't used this brown roller in a while. It is
Rusty hard and chunky. We know that's what they called me in college
Okay, that was my nickname
Haley and Matt says hi
Hello love watching y'all
Thanks for
Joining us. Will we paint and glue today? Kristen says she's 39. Oh
29 that's a great age
We'll leave it at that. Yeah, I
Enjoy when people tell me that I'm 29 when I when I know I'm old. Oh look. Oh
Little Sarah's on to you. Oh
really, honey boy, Oh
Pony boy, so, you know, Sarah sometimes does
Moderating of our lives for us, but that's why we were in South Carolina. She's spending the summer with her sister in, South Carolina
Well, South Carolina them off in the Carolina in the Carolinos
Anyway, so soon as Sarah gets down there. She's like, hey, can I dye my hair?
And she went from dark brown to
Bleach white it is all white right now. It looks like she's hiding out in a church
Yeah, that is what Garrett said as soon as he saw her come on FaceTime. He said so what's up greaser?
Yeah, was that was that pony boy? I
Hope everyone gets it
We get it because the kids both had to read it in school. And so did you read it?
I thought everybody had to read it in school. I didn't read it in school. I don't think we're talking about the outsiders
Okay. Well, then everybody saw the movie with Tom Cruise Matt Dillon
Yes
The kids did that one too. Who's that guy with the C in the middle of his name?
Thomas see how I'm a see how
Who else was in there?
Patrick Swayze was in there
Rob Lowe Rob Lowe, I mean
Yeah, yeah
Wow, that is a crazy lineup. I mean their bench went deep
Deep well, that was early on. Yeah, get them all in a movie now, I bet
Pretty penny you probably only get Ralph Macchio. Oh, he's doing great with
Yeah, easy, yeah, I suppose he is he just he still seems like Ralph Macchio
like
Some actors you can't get past the actor to see them in the movie
Cynthia says instead of lights you could put
liquid glass on the nose
Resin yeah resin, you know how I like a good resin
Ashley wants to know the ages of our kids
Ashley there's a bunch of them kids. Which ones that way teens would be 17 and
14 15 15 well
Next month she'll be 15. So it's 15 17
22
15 17 22 23
27 29
27 29 I guess they're not kids anymore
They'll act like kids still we're using exterior house paint
Anything that I'm doing that I take to the farmers market. I'll use that exterior house paint if I'm doing some indoor
Type items, I mean I will use it for outdoor too, and I'll spray it with
Yeah
Anything I'm doing indoors, I will use our country chic and the
Chalk paint and I'll use that outdoors as well, but I'll put some polycrylic on it. Yeah Garrett can tell I was
You're already on to the next thought. Yeah, I was trying to follow along to their share that it was a good movie
What was a good movie
Tyra says my husband is naming them with Garrett all the actors in that yeah
I mean that was stacked deeper than Young Guns, and I thought Young Guns was stacked. Oh
I have this little piece. I mean just getting
for back in the day
Matt Dillon and Patrick Swayze on the same bill. Oh
Wait now that I think about it. It was kind of like a thing that they were doing back then because
Red Dawn also had like Patrick Swayze
Matt Dillon
Jennifer Gray
and then
you got to think about like and I think animals fire both the
Emilio Estevez and
What's the girl in his name
Charlie Sheen yeah, yeah, they were all in it. Yeah, they're like a
like a gang of
actors they just
Come in lay down they're acting and leave
Laying it down. I'll put this acting down random thoughts by Garrett. I
Was just thinking about how stacked that movie was and then other movies to add all those same guys in it
Oh, my son went to school with Peyton List who's in Cobra Kai? Oh cool
Which one?
Yeah, which character is that? I don't know
Better not be Hulk. I don't know like I hate Hulk and then I love Hulk and then I hate him again
And I love them. I like the tattoo on the back. I feel the same about Johnny like I like
Oh Johnny got a raw deal. Oh Johnny's a butthole. Oh
Poor Johnny. Yeah. Oh
He's a butthole again
Lois wants to know any luck with a Christmas banner a small version for the Christmas leaner with the strand lights
I am on I am
It gets pinned
Kim put a bunch of stuff on my list
I did he's got a stack of Christmas designs like 20 designs to get done
Yeah, so it might be on there. I haven't really looked past two or three of them
Yesterday, she's like hey, we're alive. You want to kick off Christmas in July
you're gonna have to get a design ready and I was like
It's like four o'clock on July 4th
Yeah, I'm not gonna have a design ready
But he pulled these out. He was like look I did these last year. Can we use these?
We never did anything with them. I was like, yeah sure we can
Cuz you hated on them dumb little Santa
Did not
Hey, don't let him hear you as a surefire way to get on the naughty list
And I think my hesitation was there were kind of an in-between height and I was worried about that but
Everybody else seems to think 18 inches is good. I think inches is good
Like I feel like it's a good standard height. How tall is that 18 inches?
Yeah
makes sense
All right, two coats on that way. No, I can do this. I think I'm done. What's my white?
Do you think my white looks too spickly? Yeah, it's probably gonna need three coats three coats
Whoa, but does it look like hair? Should I leave it like that? No
No, anytime he does a bad paint job. He's like, oh, it looks like hair. Whoops and later on. Yeah, it looks like
Cheryl wants to know whatever happened to the wheel of DIY
In bad mouth it so much. That's just collecting dust. Now. You want to see it? He has it a wheel
I even did some improvements to it updated it. You can't spin the wheel actually you broke it
I didn't break it twice side cam. All right, check out my paint job
Does it look like fur and a beard should I leave it?
You're like furry little cuffs and that's his beard. Should I leave it?
Or does it really need like a second coat? I don't think it needs a second coat. I think it's looking
Beard like I know you guys have all heard one coat Garrett. Check it out
It look like a beard it doesn't like a beard even it then we'll let it dry you need help over there. Yeah
You wanted it you wanted me to paint it by hand I didn't want you to paint it by hand
I thought you'd use like like a lighter brown. Yeah, there's a light brown. That's all right
No, I meant like see I'm tired of things. Oh, they can't see me. I'm painting this this little piece here
I did I went looked online and that's what the light brown is the breast and then
He's supposed to have like a little light brown in his nose area up here
But this isn't really meant for that. So I guess it's just gonna get a dark brown. I think it'll work
Hey you guys I love it when you guys paint them and then give me a better idea
Because I'm just winging it. Oh, you didn't even look at the colors on it. I literally just sprung it on you with a printout
This is tail light brown, too. Yes
Okay, good. I
Was even considering doing his?
Antlers in that light brown, but I think they actually should be in a darker brown or almost black
Like I'm gonna mix mix some
Black in with dark brown and then do it that way look these are gonna be really quick and easy paints
so
Haley and Matt said were we gonna put the lighthouse on patreon? Oh
Look you guys got to remind me
If it's not on my Asana board, I'm a little to-do list
I'll forget I
Can make a little note right now to put that him I promised the lighthouse to some other lady
For a custom sign. I delivered it that day. It was great
That was there where it stopped. I didn't
Even think about giving it to the patrons
If you guys want it, it's that nags head
That good nags head lighthouse
All right. Don't forget what you're doing. Don't you forget what I'm doing? Yeah. What am I doing?
And have you ever tried doing the bumble from Rudolph, oh
Yeah, I could totally do the bumble from you. Do you know what that is? I don't know what that is. Yeah
He's the big oh man, I just went blank on what you call it abominable snowman the
giant like snow beast
Yeah
He didn't acknowledge it so I thought I had to dig in for more vocabulary words
I think I lost the inside of his ears
That Tanner forgot him. Oh
He's about to paint them
We can't see me. Where is the inside picture in picture?
Like see it's just you. Yeah
Stop trying to be a camera hog
Cameras on the star it didn't itself. Oh or heat miser. Oh, yeah
You can have the whole little burger Meister Meister burger
I'm a little seen you like it with the little things in there
Let me smooth it out you can it's fine it's fine. It's fine. You wanna
Put that on drawers years ago put some pink down or something. Oh
up underneath
Yeah, yeah, it's just gonna make it light brown
Yeah, there you go, so you don't even have to be neat
All right, I might go I I think it's fun
Yeah, look how quick and easy these are gonna be. Okay, you need to you want to do the basis for me?
I do them in
Black or dark brown when I'm painting my eyebrows
The bases are dark brown or black. Yeah, either one. I think background is good
Since I have it out
Yeah, these are so
Quick to paint we can you can do a whole set of these
Well, they might be not be quick to design
What do you mean a whole set of these? Oh like the burger Meister Meister burger and everything
Like the other characters maybe from totally
Totally. Yeah, you can
Thanks for the encouragement, babe
Oh, I actually said she did yard art of heat and miser for the first time last year
No, that's what does yard art mean and Justin said bumble is awesome. He has all of their Funko pops. Oh, yeah
Good one
I'll just do the whole crew
Cuz I like Cornelius Jack
I'll sing you guys the silver and gold song if you want, but I'm sure you guys want that. So
I'll just I'll hold that one till the holidays. Those are the holidays. Oh
What color should isn't tongue be should it be pink or should it be red will it take away from this Rudolph red?
Oh should it be black?
That's what it should be. It should be black. Just leave it out. Just leave leave it out. Leave it open
Yeah, leave it open. Maybe paint the back part of that. All right, like
Draw a little tongue in there. Maybe give him a couple of teeth
It's like four teeth right on the top
Does Rudolph have teeth?
eats, right, I
Assume he made it to adulthood
All right. What else we have to chat about anything new happening this week. We can share
Anything happening with us? We had the most boring 4th of July
We worked. Oh, we had our Sunday. We had we had a cookout on Sunday
Let's see, man. There is mean
Yeah, we had a cookout on Sunday
Jonathan who said whoa from the other room
I don't know if you could hear him made steaks on the grill and they were really darn it. They were really yummy
All right, step one was gather step two was paint. I'm on step three. Okay, I'm
Yeah, yeah, I was quick step three. We're gonna bring it all together
With a little bit of star bond thick. It's the thick stuff. You got to remember how I put them together now
Hey, you know, it was cooler. No, don't forget the dentist
Thanks Lois over 70 watching so hit that thumbs up button, thank you
All right. Well, let's put this little guy together his belly to go
I made his belt and his hat match so you can't get him confused
Really like the same thing. Yeah
I need glue. This one's empty
One was empty. I
Originally picked it up
And so is this one?
You guys bunch of empty glues over here
This one's got a little something in it. I read a workshop
They did all their own gluing
Yeah, that was like the first time I left that that was the first workshop. I left without
Glue all over my fingers
My phone recognized me when I used my fingerprint and everything
Yeah, it was a good workshop. They had a good time. It was fun
They're on it. They were quick. It's probably one of the quickest workshops we had
It was everybody's trying to get to dinner, oh, yeah, that's right. We got hungry. They're going to Lone Star
Texas Roadhouse Texas Roadhouse. That's right. So where does this go? Just the bow just touches right here. Yeah, just somewhere on his neck
A little coat of white
To up the dentist was her me her me. Yes
sorry for yelling in your ear, but
Anyone have suggestions of things to see on the way definitely going to
Mount Rushmore. Oh, where are you going?
Must be a mr. Miss something up above
And what's going on a trip?
well
Caroline's going trip. She was looking for things to see going on a trip and she's taking
Backpack going on a trip taking my backpack and my
going on a trip
Taking my backpack my toothbrush
This which I forgot to paint this part
Right. Hey, we're getting there. We're getting there. Yeah, I'm almost there. Where are you?
Said I'm getting there
Who we should have a race one time. See you can do one faster
Hey, I'm done
Which is the is mine the shorter one a longer one? Well, I don't have any issues
Yeah, look you guys I think we've been on here 30 minutes you could have painted these a whole lot faster than what we did
This would be great
Probably should have painted the ball on his hat a different color. Yeah, can you see that better if I move?
There we go. Can you see him?
Like a black background. Can you see me now? Oh, you're done already
Reindeer looks so cute. I know
Cutie is
Totally gonna put some little lights on him somewhere
Glowing that and maybe I should do his ears darker. You think I should do is I mean his antlers in that dark brown?
Right now he's the same color. I could make it like a darker darker brown
Since Garrett's still going I
Didn't know it was a race Kim
Well, you had a whole lot of talking earlier
So you're doing my work and what else do you guys want to see?
So if we're gonna do our Tuesday lives this month, do we want to do?
All Christmas in July test cut files for Christmas in July all Christmas, or do we want to?
We also are working on some folder to go with Halloween stuff
Yeah, I had a Halloween thing ready to go. He loves Halloween. So
Should we do mix in some Halloween designs?
this month or save those for August should all of the
Tuesdays in July be Christmas stuff
All be Christmas
You like all right. I made his antlers a little darker, but I may be not that much darker
Mix the black in
Made him just a little darker
Yeah, it needs a little contrast. Yeah, I agree. Okay, maybe I should make him even darker
Cuz I made him a little bit darker, but not much
Antlers light like the chest. Yeah. Yeah
That gives it that
Continuity I think mine was good to go
Lowest votes all Christmas in July on Tuesdays change it up on Fridays
Yeah, there you go. Look at my little guy
Yeah, where's your other kickstand kickstand? Yeah, he's stealing my kickstand Kim
You'll stand Kim. I
Probably should have used different colors like maybe an aged gray for his beard and mustache
You think instead of all white white yeah, yeah
Here you want to do it overhead and then
When we got a few minutes we could tweak him
Can you see him a little better? I don't know. I already put his mustache on
Maybe if I just come in with a little bit of it
Seems I don't make it so you can see him better
Yeah, let me just get the get the inside of one
Push him closer
Peekaboo
Yeah
Wait a minute. I wait a minute
Standard doesn't wear red boot. He does too. He does not wear red boots. His feet need to be black. Those are summer shoes
They're so cute
Do you do the workshop on weekends or weekdays? We do them on Friday Saturday Sundays in between
Farmers market prep and farmers market. Yeah farmers markets Tuesday Saturday mornings
Tuesday Christmas Friday Halloween, I don't know. I like them. Whatever we want
His eyes those need to be black that brown doesn't look great. What?
black
We need a little fall and Halloween this month I agree add some sparkle to his beard yes
As what he's missing a little sparkle and a little twinkle in his beard and his boots need to be
Yeah, oh
That looks good. Oh, yeah
Fixed him for you. That's it
Well now it's gonna need a couple of coats. Yeah
Here's gonna kill me. There you go
Can fix my boots
So now they look professional we gotta zoom in so you can get the there you go, that's just one coat
Great. Now we can put them right back in the stand and people be like, whoa
Look if I put them in the stand, will you compliment his shoes?
I'm gonna put another coat on them here in just a minute when they dry. Yes, they're supposed to say I like your shoes
Oh, I like your shoes Santa
somebody said I said the glitter and then
Tip builds Ashley wants to know right?
Yeah, Ashley wants to know if we let you get a 3d printer yet
3d printer yet. I still don't have a
Something I saw your video on how to make a popsicle
That said Santa's summer shoes. They are summer shoes. We should make them skin color
Put some sandal. Yes, Kathy. It's so funny. We were just talking Kathy asked for
Christmas door tags. Oh, yeah. I was just talking about the door tags last night. We sure were
I was like whatever happened to the door tags
We haven't done anything with door tags in a while. And I think with that new
DTF transfers over those door tags
We could do some really cool things. Yeah for sure. Yeah, we can make some cool backers
We can make the door tags and sell them with the DTF already on there
Like like wrapping paper, I don't even know yet. Yeah. Well that way you wouldn't have to put the
We did the mod podge of the scrap paper over them
So you wouldn't have necessarily have to do that. You could just put that DTF transfer heat press that right on there
I think most of you crafty folks probably already have some sort of heat press even the the
Easy press easy press will work gross
Feel like you're a little hasty with his bowtie a little bow and you put your finger in my my paint
I see that now. Yeah, oops
This makes waste and why does he get blonde? Why does he get light brown?
Eyebrows, but Santa had to have black eyebrows
Because his eyebrows match the rest of the late light brown on there. I might make him two layers
Yeah, he's a little flat right he could just he could go with another layer see that's what test cut Tuesdays
Yeah, I might make his back legs actually sit back a layer
Yeah, I have a little layer back here. Yeah, just for his legs
Yeah, I think I'm going to give him a bit double layer
Double layer on Rudolph. Can you can you hold him up closer so that they can see them better?
Like save the summer shoes
And you can't tell on the camera, but they his antlers are a little darker, right I could go even darker brown or
Black maybe just to give that contrast who?
make them sparkles
Sparkly antlers glitter antlers. I'm just watching. I'm not even helping watch out. I'll just see if I can do it. There we go
It's my squid game
Now you can mount so these little so in the back you want to show them what's happening in the back
So the slots are nice and wide so it slides in really nice and easy
Yeah, there you go yeah, I got little slots in the board and
So you put that back there, and then it just kind of leans on that a little bit now. You can't go back
Yeah, you can glue it you can glue it and it'll stay there forever
But if you don't glue it, then you've got a little easier storage
Slightly into them. Yeah, you could always put even a
Command strip right there. Oh, yeah stick them temporarily. That's a good for the season
and then you can still pull it apart and
Yeah, you can see these no you don't have to bring them over
So I see how professional this tuft of hair looks it's a well, yeah
Garrett decided he was gonna paint it like hair
All right. All right. Well, I think we are done. I think so. That was very quick
Santa needs a belt buckle, right?
Does need a belt buckle. Thank you. I don't know. I felt like 100% needs about part of his coat
No, that is
But now right here he needs a belt buckle with a little gold little black and gold, okay
I'm gonna build buckle. It's a good one
Does he need to be holding the pipe?
No, you hold the pipe. Why would he hold a pipe?
I don't know cuz I wasn't that like something with the pipe
Do y'all think the back should be painted to help seal or y'all haven't had an issue with that?
We haven't had an issue with it
As a matter of fact, yeah, I'm gonna go get he's gonna go get something to show you
Yes, I'll tell him
Put something on there to make it look real
He would love that. He would love to add texture. That's what he was trying to do
You can't see it close unless I get really close up
He was trying to add texture to this little tan piece right here. Go get your side cam back out. Oh
Sigh can me. All right. Let's get this out of the way
Thank you. Yeah, you're really looking for this edge
Okay, so if you guys were watching maybe our tick-tock
It stormed one day
and Garrett had this sitting under the
Drain pipe and it was just flowing water over it
But it's been outside that's three weeks. Yes before that
We had it sitting outside when we first got the DTF transfer to test it out before we ever got our printer
We really wanted to see if these would be pretty waterproof
So
We put this on the board
We pressed it onto the board and then we set it outside and it stayed outside for several weeks
And then even last week. Yeah
Well, we brought it in for Friday's video when we're filming last week's video to actually talk about how well they've held up in in
rain and direct elements
So but we never even put that in the video
So I'm glad you guys asked about it because this board has actually set out there. It sat in the rain
this has sat in the rain and
Straight Sun on the blacktop
Yep, I just had it leaning up against the building with no overhang and no coverage just on the side
so it would get all of the rain and
Thought maybe you might get some bird droppings on it. But no just rain
So we a couple of things you can see how well the DTF is held up. There is
I mean wait, well, I mean maybe it'll just a slight swell
but
Maybe down here even I could feel a little bit at the bottom. That's where it was sitting in the leaves
Right here a little bit, but you can't see it. And then the DTF transfer has just held up really well
So I'm super excited. This is what we've been talking about wanting to try you can kind of see the watermarks
No
There's just watermarks and all drippings down the back from where it got wet
You can see it in the side cam. I bet you that one you can seem to get close and closer a
couple of things about Santa's beard texturizes beard with
Like plaster or something
You can use baking soda in your paint and dab it for texture
beard hat band cuffs
Yes, or we could add cotton for dimension
I just feel like that might get dingy looking after a few seasons said thanks for the birthday shout out earlier
Do we think that the burn on the edges from the laser helps to seal it I actually have had the same thought
I don't know but
maybe I might cut cut an edge and put it back outside and see what happens I
Do know when you try to paint the edges it just sucks that paint right in at first
Caroline said did we print this on? No, it's a transfer. We actually printed that new DTF printer
we have it prints to some film and then you lay it down and then you put your
Heat press over it and it transfers on like vinyl like iron-on vinyl
So last few Friday videos were DTF because we were excited about it. I was excited about it
It almost feels like rubber so I almost I feel like
With this on it gives it a better waterproofing with that. Yes. It really is sealing it even more. So yeah
Except one times said her MDF bubbled. Oh
Really? It must be good MDF because her I got the good stuff. I
Don't know but I we know that
My sister leaves her door hangers out right on the side of her garage in the elements at all times and they've done great
And like I said, we were testing this so I know that the MDF is just raw not sealed at all
And then the transfer was on there. Yeah, we got the good MDF. I got the Mott's
David yes, he did. He is planning to contact you David said he's offered you 3d the new 3d printer shipping
Yeah, I cleared it with Kim and then I was trying to find you comment

One more question here Sam asked with me
He said he just purchased both files if we update it with the leg and oh, yeah
Yes
you do automatic if we ever update a file if we ever get a comment and someone updates of
Has an update to a file or an issue with a file send it back out it automatically
Well, he pushes the button to automatically send it to everyone
Anytime he doesn't update he goes ahead and sends it to everyone
Yeah, if I update it for us to cut for the farmers market or something, I'll update the files and send them out to everybody
But Caroline says that she's gonna catch up on the videos she'll be driving for days so lots of time coming up
yeah, you could just
Listen to me say random things and apparently use a lot of arms
Tyra says that her husband likes that we started this he does DTG and just started DTF
Yeah, I like DTF. I was looking at trying to modify a DTG printer when I found DTF
And then looking for a UV printer, but those jams are expense
I'm afraid I'm gonna get hit with that and one more comment about
Adding some gray around the edges would give this dimension in the beard. Yeah. All right. I'm done. That was it for comments, right?
Are we done? So thank you guys for joining us. We do appreciate you commenting and chatting with us
It helps keep the conversation going. We enjoy doing our little test cuts here on Tuesdays
Yeah, they just I feel a little bit vulnerable because I'm doing my test cuts right in front of you guys
Well, you learned a little something so far. You've done a really good job
I don't think we've had any major issues with any of them
All right, well looks like we're about out of time do we have somewhere to go tonight we do
Looks like we're about out of time. So you're not gonna join us for I guess Friday's video
Yep. No, I'm gonna assume you're joining us for Friday's video. So we will see you on Friday
We will do it build it and make it again for real
