Come hang out while we paint a test cut!
Oh, what is up a welcome back lost my button. Do you like to do it build it or make it?
So do we we have new videos each week every Tuesday and Friday and Tuesdays
Our test cut Tuesdays where I have this thing hanging in my face so you can see what we're doing on the table
It's not that big a deal this thing really gets him, but it is I feel like I should talk into this thing instead
Maybe because I'm just a little bit shorter. I feel like I should be announcing some wrestlers right about now
Some rowdy rowdy Piper
Hacksaw Jim Duggan's who is your favorite?
80s wrestler guy
All right, you say hello. I don't have our little pictures. You let me grab the pictures. Oh, yeah, they're just in there

It's worth it
Michelle Chris Terry Amy tiny hands Baker

That's off-road everything Jeff Carol Tom Davis Ingrid. I saw your sign a great job
I got something in the works
I'm a busy though
Christy Tasha Jeff I hit puberty
Tona Kevin and penny
All right, and I got a couple over here from Facebook because we're trying to right we're trying out
Today so let us know how the quality is, you know, we tried this a while back. It wasn't so great
We're trying it again and we're gonna tell you about that
But I have a couple people Christine and Becky Becky says her p2 just arrived
You're gonna be excited I'm excited for you good luck, it's a good it's a good machine Dina Keisha
Christy so
And Keisha co2 just arrived today Wow, but you guys can lasers
It's a thousand degrees in here again. What is with this little room?
Because our little hot box. Yes. I think they move the heater closer to this wall
Yeah, so our friends our t-shirt folks over here to the to the I guess left of us. This is the front of the building
have these giant heaters to dry the ink for their t-shirt printing and
I feel like yes
Yes, yeah
Anyway, we're in this little tiny like hot box room in the winter. It's great
For hot box and paint. All right. What are we doing today? You guys want to see what we're doing?
So a couple weeks ago, I promised that we would have some
What all season welcome signs some more like generic welcome signs because what we have found this weekend
What we found at the craft shows is that people always want to start with like something they can use most of the year
I don't want to go with one season. I want something I could use most of the year
So any of our generic signs are are great and I don't generic really isn't the word but all season welcome signs
Are a great starter and we don't have a ton of those so because we're so excited to do all the different seasons
So I promised that we would do some basic patterns and we have a couple now my printer started running out of ink
So they aren't going to be pink and purple
Some of you might want them to be but they're thinking about hey, what can I do for your color scheme?
There we go, so what you can see here this one is subway tiles
And this one is a square pattern this one's a little can you go overhead I can show them a little bit
There we are
Here's a good a good square pattern you see that and then here's the subway tile pattern
So we're gonna do
We're gonna do these today. I have a bunch more. I've already gotten Garrett just didn't get them already
And maybe that's what we're doing tonight. Oh
Yes, so if you are a top-tier patron and you're gonna join us on the Adobe Illustrator class tonight
Like two of these
well
What just like make one with a pattern? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah to make a pattern give it a frame
I have a few more patterns that I wanted to do. Let's see. What else did I have?
of course, I want to do like the
What is it the hexagon basically, it's like the beehive like the honey honeycomb pattern
And you could do that in the honeycomb honey bee or bee colors, you know the black and red
I mean the black and yellow colors kind of be easy mess. Oh, yeah
some Hornets or something
Anyway, what else I have
I had some flowers
Yeah, some more chevron patterns
I've got like six of them picked out
So I'm really excited about them because I've been wanting these for a long time and we have a bunch of pillows
And the welcomes to test out to you. Yeah, you can't really see that on camera go overhead and you can see it
I don't know if you guys happen to see these
I went and grabbed these and you can do this too because this is I don't think they I'm not even sure if any of
These were the pro version, but I just grabbed these from Canva
These are not fonts where we've typed out the word welcome
I just went out to Canva typed in welcome grabbed them brought them down
Garrett made them into SVGs for me. So here's a
There's a cute little hello and another this one's my favorite right here this hello is my favorite
Now this one was a little tricky it didn't come in as an SVG Garrett had to
make it an SVG, but
It's a really cute one. So we just grabbed all these I had Garrett just cut them all or
We are also looking for something that we'd be able to do where people could customize their signs a little bit on the spot
So this is where we I think we can have different welcomes that we can Google and on the spot. Mmm. Good one
Yeah
We're also looking for some taking goes so these would be great to shrink
Down to like the 10-inch and they're only like what four pieces to paint
Yeah, maybe we do these so we're gonna be
How many of you are on the East Coast
But we are gonna be in Fredericksburg this weekend for a craft show and we're gonna do our first workshop at the craft show
Something you've thought about reach out to the craft show coordinators and tell them. Hey, I'd like to offer a workshop
They get a percentage of the profit. I think it was 10%
and then we
And they advertise for us. And so I
With us
Yes in conjunction, yes, yes they advertise in addition to us
But I think it's I'm kind of excited about it
So if you want to come see us come do a workshop come hang out
We'll be in Fredericksburg this week. I had to do this in five easy steps
But my point is I think this would be a great full-size door around to do at a workshop
That's easy and can be done in an hour because they're so oh, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
All right, let me let me see what's happening. Yeah
What's your pink scheme is gonna be over there? I was thinking just white
And then black and gray. That's
What?
Actually, I think that would be beautiful if you do your gray and this Dorian gray and dirty gray
Yes, if you did white black
Dorian gray dirt black. Yeah
But I'm going to stay in mine, so I've got some other things in mind. Oh
Chris says I love it. She's it says Minnesota makes dash Chris
Chris says her thunder arrives tomorrow
Lot of new laser owners thunder and lightning
You like meet my new friends
Oh
What are you guys gonna cut first, what are you making first?
Like what do we make first? Can we start with like?
Who Ingrid said rodeo like Paisley leather?
Like pattern would sell nice and teal and dark browns. Oh, yeah. Well now that we get a pinch
I want to do layered layered bottoms and stuff
Yes, Amy, this is gonna be super easy
Yeah, you're painting you're back there Juanita says she got her on tech
Me today is the first time. Oh, she got her on tech in May. Today is the first time cutting on it. Congratulations. Good job
Too much paint. No, I wasn't gonna use white
Go ahead I'll put a little white on here. I'm gonna stay in the top part. Look it go overhead. Yes
Can you guys see I?
Just don't think I'll see how much you still can't see well here here. Let me just do it this way
Okay. Yeah, roll it off. Yes. What did you?
You would think you would think
But you know what they say when you assume
Sheesh, okay. Yeah, sheesh
Sheesh I still all right there you paint yours and then
Whenever you're done
Look don't you come on accidents happen. Don't come over here messing up mine. Well, they're called accidents
Otherwise, they'd be called
intentionals
Here you go
Thanks
Sorry guys, it's just a lot of paint
Well, I just I wanted to show an example of what might happen
You might have a customer
Yep out there and they use too much paint. What what do you do? What do you do? I
Guess you just wipe it off
You thin it out. Yeah, just
spread
That way you only need one coat
Okay, let me let me go
Up Diana says late as usual, but got my shirt on. Oh
I'm glad you get your shirt on. Oh, guess who's back
Eminem, you know the Slim Shady. Yes. Is he back again? He's back again. Who is it?
Who's been missing for the last couple weeks Candace?
No
London Times
How about Jason Kelsey?
Didn't we just talk to him? No, he's been missing
Welcome back Jason. Well, we were just talking about you Jason yesterday
Lois what today are we gonna offer the different styles of welcome and hello in the store so customers can buy
Customize the rounds we can have them pre-cut but I can't sell the digital files because these are straight from
Canva and I'm not
adjusting them in any way like if I
I guess I could sell it with a round though
Yeah, incorporate it into the design make it a score make it a cut. Yeah, I think you're safe then I can do it
Our board is empty. I know I know look at our silly board back here. We had to pillaged it
For the craft show last weekend. We were at the biggest show of the year, which was a new for new show
that
Happened to have some crazy weather and suddenly it got super cold and
It got super windy when we got there Saturday morning. Things were great felt nice
Sunny, it was just a nice day. Nice day. We're right there by the water. I was like
This is gonna be a good. This is gonna be a good time. I'm watching the Ducks and
Like by I see that was that maybe eight. Yep by 10
10 30 11 between 10 and 11 it dropped like 20 degrees
It got very cold some front moved in and we knew it was coming
But I mean it really rolled in you could tell the temperature came down and it became super windy
actually our pegboard stands
We know that we can the reason why we made them the height that we made them is so that we could zip tie them
To the tent. So in case it is windy, they wouldn't blow over but at this time we did not have them
I had them facing the wind like we knew it was spread out because we didn't have any neighbors
Yes, and that one on the confines of our tent, but that one was like really facing the wind
So it just became a complete sail and it came at me and I caught it. Yes
Luckily, I caught it. Oh, hey, where did this go? I need to finish doing this before
So I caught I caught it and we ended up
Zip tying them to the to the tent
but it just got it got crazy windy and it was kind of a crazy day after that because
We then we're right on the water and it felt like we were in the Arctic
It just kept blowing in cold water cold. They're just the wind cold air off the water. Yes
Garrett came out
Chapped lips on Sunday. Yeah. Oh his lips were all red and
He said yeah, I think they're wind-burned
But the great thing about that was we weren't in in like a park setting so we were right next to a
I guess it was a concrete platform for a picnic bench. That was like
Screwed down so it couldn't go anywhere and next to it was a little fire pit
So it was it's like a state park kind of thing or a county park. Yes. It was a nice
It was a nice park. So it had a little we were in not under a shelter
it just had a open picnic table area and the fire pit fire pit like a grill one of those in the ground grills
Yes, like a grill
So that was nice. We were able to warm up a little bit. Yep. I made fire. I kept a fire going
And we were able to use that picnic table and spread out. That was really great
I wish I had that at every show we had the fire going and I was just making signs right there by the fire
Let that dry a little
I was playing a little bit of my banjo white black gray black would be great for the basic welcome match most home decor
Yes with a light backer. I don't know if you guys have noticed but
Everyone always says I have a dark colored door. I need a light colored round. So I have very few
I make very few with a black backer anymore
Because everybody wants them with a light backer
So a white back, that's why I did this one in white
With the stained or black overlay works great
Anthony I have not forgotten your box video as a matter of fact
We made boxes the other day and I was like we should be filming this right now
But Garrett and I had a little bit of a debate on how the boxes should be made
So I was like, well, we can't film a video until we agree on how these boxes are
We have best made different box theory
Garrett wants to have the flaps and that just makes it harder. I want to have flaps at the corners and
she wants
open corners
Well, I just put a little tape. I'm just shipping
Maybe we could just show it your way in case you're shipping something more than
Glowforge boards for glowforge boards. I don't need the flaps
Oh
Keisha said she made a QR sign that she learned from us. Oh great
we got a
comments on that this weekend
Becky said I already made a score engrave and cut test arrays. Nice job. Great. That's step one now
I'm gonna work on ornaments
Jumping right in
How do I change to add my business name? I don't know on Facebook. I'm not sure I'd have to look at that change
What I think she wants to add her truck she wants her trucker name up there as Garrett wouldn't say I think you
I think you got to join as your trucker name
Log into your business and then find us
Bernice got her t-shirt. Yeah, you guys I sent out a bunch of t-shirts
There's still a bunch of you waiting for t-shirts
Because I didn't have all the sizes
But my friend next door is gonna print a bunch for me and that way I can just get them all out at one time
Oh Juanita says it's great I have cut 15 quarter door hangers
Yeah
What do you guys think about those door corners?
Anybody use those at the craft show yet?
Because we took ours to the to the show for the first time on Saturday
we displayed all the ones that we had up there, which is why this is part of the reason why this is so empty right now and
That was the first thing sold. I mean the first thing sold was a door corner and
The third thing sold was a door corner and basically they all went in the morning on Saturday they were gone before
Probably one or two o'clock maybe. Oh, yeah, they're the first thing sold out
Yeah, they went especially especially all those Grinch ones. Those weren't really quick. The first thing sold
Yes was a Grinch, right? Yep, and then a Grinch and then I put a spell on you door peeker
Peeking
Which one peeking oh the Grinch peeking yeah
Yeah, we sold that one because he's a little more
He's a little more involved a few more layers though one with his hands over the top
We sold that one for 35. We sold the others for 25 except for the boo. I think boo we sold for 15
Find it you didn't see it anywhere. I didn't see it anywhere. I
Just opened the fridge door and I stood there for a while. I didn't see it. It didn't call out to me
Abby's here from Facebook
Yeah, we're trying this Facebook thing. I think we're gonna move over to Facebook
You guys your notifications aren't coming through because this week we're doing restream
Remember we did this a while back and in the beginning so that I could stream on both YouTube and Facebook
This is a good time to kind of talk about. Yeah, what we're doing. Let's talk about what's happening
This is our last live it's on YouTube
It is not exactly so we know for a while now
I think I've mentioned it before that every time we go live
One we lose subscribers people hate seeing us live
They hate our personalities, so we go on tour they will not be coming to see us
But mostly the going live hurts our algorithm
It hurts our view time and why is that that's because a bunch of people log in and then they might watch for a bit
And then they log back out
So the way YouTube wants they want videos where someone logs in watches the whole video and logs out
That's why you're supposed to do a really quick. Sorry. I got a hair on me a really quick
Intro and a really quick outro quick because you don't want them
Dropping off early, you know, hey, here's the finished product gone. Yeah. Yeah, so
With a live you're just jumping in you're watching for a bit
I mean I do this too all the time and then you log back out
But what that makes that makes Facebook think I mean that makes YouTube
Think that you don't want to watch the content and it's just typical for a live
So what we want to do is move our lives over to Facebook every day every week
On Tuesdays, we're gonna move over to Facebook and go live on Facebook test cut Tuesday
It's gonna move to Facebook
For the live videos and then we'll keep our YouTube videos on Fridays and YouTube as always
but move those lives over to Facebook because it won't hurt us over there and
I think we'll pick up a bunch of people
That might just be scrolling through Facebook and then see us live. Yeah that and fun fact
Chat GPT to help us give us an insight to what was happening. So thanks again Christian
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what you did there. I'm not sure I was in the room for that
So I was asking a bunch of questions
All right, should I stay in this gray or should I stay in this
What's this gonna be?
Wait, you're gonna put another coat on that. Yeah, that's horrible
Yes
Okay, give me your two cents there
It's weird, this is black. Yes, this is gray and black and white
Let you do brown. All right, Sarah says we're gonna go regular old same colors. Oh brown
She's right off camera. She came in to get paid
Yeah
Harold or the t-shirt options. I didn't get one. Send me an email Harold support at KG make it calm
I'll make sure you get one
If you don't answer when I the initial registration for patreon asks you for your t-shirt size if I don't get a t-shirt size
Then you don't end up getting a t-shirt. Yes. I won't know what size I send you as we forget
Well, it's not that you well, yeah, I don't come back and ask again. Trust me
I don't have time to come back and ask again
But people are really great about reaching out and saying hey, I didn't get my t-shirt get it
And don't feel bad to reach out. Yeah, I don't mind sending it at all
We just forget so send me an email and I'll make sure you get it especially during craft show season
We're got back to back to back
One more back. These are a little crazy right now. Yeah, so
And we're just coming off of everybody got kovat like dominoes
So crazy that was very crazy
Set us back a little bit. So
We don't get right back to you
Remind us we don't mind. We'll poke in the ribs won't hurt my feelings. Yeah. All right. This is a
Golden oak. This is a water-based stain because it's a water-based stain. I don't even have to wipe it. I just put it on
And I think I'm gonna do both pieces
Now this is what all the same color. Yeah
No, should I do this in another color? No, let's see
Now are you going just white on the back? Yeah. Yes, like do you want me to do a second coat?
No, thanks. No, you sure? Do you need to do a second coat on yours? I'm sure that you do
I'm a backer. Yes
Pretty good. I just checked on it
kind of looks like
Yeah, we're taking our time today because you know how quickly these are gonna
Finish these that's the whole point of me doing these is one. I told Garrett
I wanted a quick cut you can also give me your opinion because I told Garrett these patterns are a little tight
I think they should be bigger
Like the subway title should be bigger and maybe those squares should be a little bigger a little bigger
Yeah, that's what I think you guys can give me your opinion on that
Where you headed you want to dry around because it's so much paint on it
I'm gonna go. Oh, yeah, it's overhead
What do you think that looks pretty good? And
Do I do?
Welcome in black. No
Do I do it in white? Can I do it in different colors? Does this need to be a lighter color?
Maybe this needs to be like this
So I can do this in black
Or do I need to do it in dark and make it white
These will be super neutral if that's the case
Let me put a second coat on this
Perry said he's already learned how not to put too much paint
Wonder why Garrett has a hard time figuring it out. I was at a workshop last night. I told him the same thing
I was like even though you think you want to put a thick coat
Don't multiple thin coats are where you want to be
What was that Perry said he is excited here and he figured out how not to put too much paint
No one's half the battle the other half is not putting too much paint
I'm getting ready to cut some today. I showed three people now and now people are wanting them
What these new designs or something else? Did I miss something?
Whoa, what's happening with all the hair? Are you a sasquatch?
I'll go say something about I
Don't know if I could say it
No, you can not but I don't know how to say it without saying the whole thing. It's hard
It was something about what's Goonie Goo Goo?
I don't know how old the crowd is
The crowd is but you know, do you know who Gus is?
I'll see Diana said I would cry if this was your first life. Why what am I missing here?
Let me get down to the bottom. I've missed so much stuff. I'm gonna go work my way back up
Do we cut hair wants to know if we cut the backers on the p2 we can cut the backers
But we do not
I think we have a big Harold. Was it you that I just talked to today? I sent an email back
For the p2 is still a desktop laser
Just like it is for the arm tech. They do have pass-throughs
if you're using
I think you could do it. We should do a quick video on maybe how to use light burn and
Registration marks and the pass-through on the desktops. Oh
Yeah, we can do that on both the p2 and the arm tech in the interim though
There's a puzzle piece go look for my puzzle piece video
It's a high round that we did with a puzzle piece. You could do the puzzle piece backer
Signs like these are perfect for a puzzle piece backer because you'll hide it with that center banner
or you can for the p2 you can get the conveyor belt system and you can just lay that round right on there and
It will just convey it will feed it right on through automatically with your design
What happened here those my fingers and your fingers I didn't touch yours
I got two fingerprints on mine. Yes, I did it, but it's just a centerpiece. So it won't really matter
Oh
Right bulldog hustle said and one of our patrons posted about these two
I saw it a craft show this past weekend instead of door corners light switch corners
Now will those work? I guess I mean, are you thinking you would use like
Command strips to stick them to the wall because I don't know how they'll swivel fit on the light switch because that's at a
Arch, right? Unless I'm missing something. I
Mean, I guess it depends. I mean, I think you can just make light switch covers. Oh
Diana said I would cry if this was your last live
Diana, I was like darn what is happening?
Tasha said she found the puzzle piece video yesterday. She has an on tech polar and would love to see more videos on it
I know you guys I know that we haven't done a lot on the polar here lately
it's because we have a partnership with X tool and
You know heads up. There's some more cool things coming. So
We just keep doing more videos for them because they just keep sending us thing
Yeah, there's just they just keep sending us cool things. Don't ask they just send it
So we can't wait to share some more cool ideas with you guys. That's pretty cool. We should share that
London says I tagged you in a tick-tock for my flying monkeys
We have to go look we'll have to go look
To be cut the backers on the p2. I think I answered that one
I
Christine is here to covet all of us grandson tested positive. He was for acting like the Tasmanian devil. I
Don't know how because we were acting like we were zombies. I knew was I was feeling horrible. I
Told Kim I'm not long for this world
Yeah, he really thought he was done I'll tell you for a while there because his chest hurt
He had that chest pain so bad so bad. I couldn't take a deep breath
Yeah, he's pretty he was pretty freaked out by it
These aside I'm gonna paint a welcome or should I do it as a hello
That was a goodbye
That's why you mess with my stuff. I'm sorry people can't see what you're doing
I'm just gonna put it out here. Yeah, so they can kind of see what you're doing
I'm doing dots in the crosses the cross sections
Was hitting the meaty spots
That's pretty dry
Like a hello on mine and should I do mine maybe in this gray or should I stick with white?
Oh yours is blue down now. Yeah, mine's blue down. I
Could do it in a teal I could do it a navy I could do it in so many colors so many color options now I
Would say to you orange
It's full
Boo, you know what? You know what you should do
ombre
orange and maroon
Yep, I could do that. I think I'm gonna do it in this Dorian gray because I like it
Where did you I might steal your ombre idea, okay
Mm-hmm
Weird. Oh here. It's over here
Yes, Christian wants to know if we go on but if we go live on Facebook, will it be available?
After the fact
Yes
Tanner was researching that. Yeah, because I think I see them all the time and it says
Live yeah like live it in it or something, but you can rewatch them. I'll confirm that Christian. I
Know you're thinking to yourselves. Why aren't you using tape?
No, you can't even see what I'm doing
Yeah
Doing it off camera. Yeah, what are you talking about?
You're breaking all the rules
I
Sorry, I've got got a pretty dry roller I didn't where'd your plate go for this Dorian gray? Oh you didn't
We didn't need plates where we were going I knew you're
Are we going to have our wrenches I mean, we're the wrench crew. Yes, you're gonna have your wrenches
wrench crew
yes, you will still get notified and
It should still be pretty much the same and everything should be pretty much the same. It's just on a different platform
Unless we just started a whole other channel Ingrid said Saturday hers did great
She sold all and took ten. So she sold ten of them. Oh great. I think that was the door corners
No, I think that was
Was that the door corners or was that the light switch covers?
Up Jennifer Heffel fingers here. Hey Jennifer
Cory's on to I'm down. Oh cool. Lori says that they have an album for the lot for
Gil's lives and you could do one titled test cut Tuesday and all the lives will be there. That'd be good. Yeah, okay. Oh
Yeah, I think that's even better
All right, what's a better color scheme here this one's still a little boring do you guys think I should do for hello here
Rich wants to know how the paint is coming along. He's missed a few episodes
Rich, thank you for poking the beast. Yep. Thank you. Thanks rich
I'm also wondering we can't we're now
wavering on the packaging
so
We're looking
We just have a lot of things in the works and with that packaging we can start sending them out
But again, we'd have to make our own labels and they're not gonna be great. And that's what we've been struggling with is the labels
we can't we do have them and we can make our own labels, but they'll just
They'll be okay. Not great
so
Garrett is thinking we might
Package in pouches that way churches. We will also want a UV printer we can
UV print on the pouches
Now the hesitation with the pouches is that you can't stack
Paints up on a shelf the pouches would have to go they can stand but you wouldn't be able to stack them
So I don't know if that's the way we want to go you see
We're
We're in analysis paralysis. Somebody just needs to get us out of it, right? Yeah, somebody needs to come
Kick one of us in the butt
Maybe I should do green. What do you think? Should I do green?
No, I
Think you gotta do I don't know
Something a little bit darker. Leave it alone. Mandy would say leave it alone. I'll just leave it alone. How about that for today?
This is this is fine
Gets us done Garrett is still messing with his
Pretty much pretty much just about what you guys what else is going on with you guys
Helen will kind of uh
Event stuff has been doing lately
You think fun any more fun concerts been to the football games. You're going to see the Kansas City Chief
Mm-hmm, if you make it fall, then you're defeating the all-season
Idea, right
Yes, I suppose
All right, what else is happening
Virginia
right
Are these new designs available for purchase? Yes, they are ready to go
I will make sure that they go on our they should be able to go on our
In our store today, right?
Yeah, so right. I'll just take a picture after this and
We didn't get unfinished photos what is wrong with us, but we can fake an unfinished. Oh, yeah, we're gonna I'll say
Oh
No, Helen said first off remember that douche McGooch
McDoucherson event I was going to to make signs for well the guy changed the plans the night before
But they did have Steve Aoki there for an hour and she was like five feet from him at one point
Oh, that's cool
I'm sure you could get a picture
Yeah, did you do the whole selfie thing? You just stand around?
Garrett would it definitely? Yeah turned around and taking a picture of himself
Even if it's tobacco
That's how I got our picture with
What was his name?
Guy Fieri. Oh, yeah effort. Well, yeah, I guess that's all the other picture we got with him
Then he turned around and chit-chatted with us for a second. Yeah
And he didn't let us talk so I couldn't ask really
He was very
You ever have the you ever have the trash can nachos. I'm gonna send over some trash can nachos
I'm also gonna send over some potstickers or whatever. Thanks for coming in. Bye. See you later. Yeah
Don't talk to him anymore
He had friends there. Yeah. Yeah, it was oh it was um
that guy
Something was he used to be on
That history channel show about the fast cars
Something would
He was there. It was his birthday. I
Knew who it was at the time. Yeah, because I was I was a little nerdy geeked out about that one
Something
Woods oh
Yeah, uh-huh. Mm. Yeah
Does that look centered you guys?
This is a tough one
Yes
To go that way
Anyway, there you go
So the chef was like nope. He owes me 30,000 amex not only signed it with the chef
They made dumb face pay 12,000 and damages on top of the 30,000. It was quite the scandal Wow
Oh, wow, you had your own fire festival
How do we store our finished product?
Before we take it to a craft show
So we do we have these things called Z racks out back that we hang them on if we're if they're out of season
What is happening here? What what is happening?
If they're out of season so you have some leftover Valentine's Day some Easter's and things like that
They go on Z racks in the warehouse that their own wheels and I can move them around
It's like the clothing racks you would see at a clothing store where you hang all the clothes up
This has two bars a top and a bottom and we hang them on there. It holds a bunch of them
It gets very heavy. The bar does swoop a little but it still holds them. They've been doing great since we put
last year's
Christmas stuff on them in January or February something like that and they've been there all year and think they've been great
And then if we are storing them in preparation take them to a craft show we do put them
In wagons like you would have for them those canvas wagons
We get the heavy duty heavy duty canvas wagons heavy duty heavy duty
Canvas wagons we can put them in there and we store them we separate them. Well, we now
Switched over to clear die-cut handle bags
And we put the signs in one
one to two signs we either put them back-to-back or a single sign in the bags and then put the bags in
The cart and that's worked out really great because the last two outdoor shows that we've had. It's actually rained some and
Just looks like here go over him. It looks like a what Kim
Looks like an amazing welcome sign. Yeah, it does
That sounded patronizing
It's rained the last two shows so that the the plastic bags have actually kept them a little bit dry. So that's worked out
It's another
Like fortunate
Thing about putting them in the bags. We add little tiny raincoats. Yeah, they all have tiny raincoats
but I will tell you again make sure you
sell your product in clear bags because
As people walk around the show people will stop folks and they've said it more than once
Oh, I stopped this lady up the way and she told me where you guys were
I came to look for this sign or that sign. So the clear bags definitely work
We started with the paper bags, which were great and environmentally friendly and had nice handles. They were nice bags, but you
Need it. Yes
Fake glasses and a mustache on your sign
What's the red and this one this is a this one this one's called
Amazing
Look at it in the on the camera. It really does look like a great ombre effect there. Oh
Yeah
Yes
They're called clear die-cut bags
So die-cut is the handle the handle piece of it is cut out of the plastic the top banner of it is like double-layered
And the little handle is cut out so you can put your hand in there and then they're just square square
I think they're 20
20 inches wide. Yeah
There's the 18
18 was too snug. So they're 20 by something 20 inches wide by something tall. I don't exactly know
What you think about my ombre?
Wow
Wow, Kim Lance said she sold 27 door corners on her show Saturday 27 door corners. That is good information
Yeah, I mean they really sold well for us, too
They did great and it was a great option. Somebody looked at the one big Grinch and was like, uh
And then saw the door corner and was like, yes. Yeah, so we made another sale
we also brought the 10 inches that we were doing for the
Brewery events and stuff where we just basically shrunk them down to 10 inches when we sold out of door corners on Saturday
I ended up bringing all the 10 inches on Sunday
He came back by here in the morning and then I put all of those out and we sold quite a few of those
Too they didn't sell as well as the door corners because the door corners just flew off the shelves. I
Think those are easily identifiable what they were what they could be
All right, there's a hundred and twelve people out there peeping at us everybody hit that like button real quick
It definitely helps us out on both platforms
and which one do you think came out better mine with the fire effect?
Well, give us your feedback. Give us your feedback on these patterns. Do you like these patterns? Yeah, do you think they're too busy?
I will tell you on our hundred watt laser. These were 30 minute cuts
I think the size works. I think the size works
The the size of the square. Yeah, I'm not gonna say this often
So let's make sure we get this on on video
Maybe bigger is not better in this case
You don't know you haven't seen it bigger yet. I think if you make it bigger, it'll be a faster cut time
I'm really excited about it. I'm excited about it. I'm really excited about it
I think if you make it bigger, it'll be a faster cut time
I'm really looking to for these bring the cut down cut time down
the paint time down and we can knock out a bunch of these so if you sell all of your
Holiday specific or seasonal specific signs. You always have these in your cart and you can hang these up and these will sell too
We'll always have welcome. We will always have welcome
Ed says he likes Kim's pattern and Garrett's word. Oh, thanks. It's the fire
Mine looks wild. It's got that tail coming off the W. It's got the flame effects. I feel like
mine
Mine's very uh gives me that renegade feel, you know that show that was on UPN in the 90s or early 2000s
Renegade what was it?
Lorenzo Lamas. Yeah
We were watching the intro to the fall guy because he loves the fall guy Oh the fall guy
He was watching the intro to that last night
The fall guy is why I thought I was gonna be a stop man. Yeah, man
Yeah up until like senior year in high school. I was going to be a stunt man
I
