Macklin studio owner joins me and we

fun thing to do to create a cool craft
like this right here that you can take
home with you for Halloween so tell us a
little bit about board and brush so
board and brush create a studio here in
New Braunfels we opened up in October
last year
and guests can come in and make these
really cool signs the way we say here is
you can come here and you can make a
unique project that you'll be happy to
hang on the walls of your home the wall
of your office give us a gift we do
parties bachelorette parties private
parties team-building exist for about
the materials that structurally a
workshop walk me through everything so
that's what we're about to do right now
and of course christina is going to be
helping us so we start out with just the
peace of all people coming at this there
so the first thing you're gonna have to
do is distress your wood and would you
distress your wood you use different
tools
[Laughter]
you have to be to the riser and bagel
the wood it is blow the workshop this is
a 2 meter process and then after we
finish distressing the wood then we sand
it so we take sandpaper and we take this
we take this little wood block and then
you just sand it the edges of your board
sand the area you distress
I just go with the grain nicely done
then we stayed it ok if we have several
different stain colors ranging from an
ebony which is black all the way down to
a classic gray okay there we go we
stained it what color did we use we use
okay all right so now it's pencil time
well because technique is there's a
partner technique we removing the grid
paper from the actual stencil using just
a pulling technique as once we get this
off then we're going to turn it over
place it under on the world and then we
remove the transfer tape from the other
side and being able will be repaid
now the next thing we do is we remove
the transfer tape so the technique with
transfer tape is what person pools and
then the other person just just a sure
step the stencil lays down okay so now
we're to the painting part yes and I'm
about to do an advanced technique okay
here we go up and down just a bad though
stroking it everywhere you see the word
that's what you cut that's where you put
paint bland
yes splendid
okay so obviously we would keep going
with the painting and then we would end
up with you know something like this
which is the finished product but there
is one more step before we're done right
a couple more steps a couple of steps so
the first would be sanding so we take a
sandpaper we lightly sand over the other
page if they doubt that we've sanded a
little bit then we add wax and the wax
test will mute the paint color so it's
not as vibrant it gives it a more
finished look all right there it is the
finished product now all I got to do is
find for the Murrays this if you're the
Murrays this is your sign you're gonna
have to call them down okay so you have
