this is handymonkey and today we talkabout your mom! hi, my name is robert and welcome. to your new favorite show! i'm sorry! i got a bit excited. but hey! handymonkey channel if finally up! new video! there's so many reasons to go crazy!
and now seriously, i want to take this moment to dedicate the first video to my mom. allow me to speak about moms in general, cause let's be honest, when it comes to you and i we sometimes forget to say thank you for everything that they do for us. they clean. they worry for us when we go outside! bye mom! i can finally play some gta.
and they cook and you'll be remembering that when youlive alone cause this is breakfast, lunch and dinner! this is the preview of the project andwith it a little something that i wanted to say tomy mom. you know what? i'm actually pretty excited to showyou guys how to make it for yourselves so let's get right to it ! go to the handy monkey website (link is in the description) and click on the marble project. thereyou'll find the three cut-out files and you need all of them
then you can choose a texture depending on if you're a womanor a man or if you don't want any writing at all and customize it for yourself. then when you go over to print the files make sure that the "actual size" tab ischecked so that you won't have any problemslater. let's get to work if you want to read the list, pause the video for a second i started out by choosing a place on mytask board and secured the piece of paper withsome tame. that's going to ensure that it
won't move while i cut. then, using a really sharp cutting tool i slowly started to cut out my shapes.remember to go slowly so you'll get clean and sharp lines. repeat those steps for all of the shapes andthis is what you should be left with. i chose a piece to start out with and using my scotch glue i started to put it together. what's cool about task bord is that ifsomething doesn't fit you can just sand it down. now i can everything together
how cool is that! loose edges can be fixed later. we cancut them off or sand them down. it's up to you. here comes the inner support of the box. then i chose to add pebbles on theinside to give me some extra weight, you can skip this step you don't feel itnecessary. our first win! the marble pieces are ready but don't glue them to each other yet! we still have the textures to add before. as for the base, i took the top part of the upper half and beveled the edges
so that angled sides could fit better. to be honest i don't remember why i'm pointing at stuff but the important thing is to see howthe walls go with the inner box, some pebbles inside it, and when i closed then i got a few weird edges but that doesn't matter cause like before we can sand it off. after some more pointing we can go on tocut out the textures. i'm using just some generic glue that ifound around the house but you can use mod-podge i guess. using the corners as reference, i carefullyplaced the box
over the other side of the texture.try to flatten it out as much as possible because if you use too much glue it tends to crease. by the magic of editing, the base is ready. just follow the steps we did before andyou'll get there. same goes for the marble. due to technical difficulties, footage went missing which shall bereplaced by informative imagery. enjoy! the last step is the pictured frame and it's really easy!
all i did was cut out the picture using the frame as a stensile. then i spray painted the frame with a goldish-yellowish color and glued over it the wooden texture. all that's left to do is to find awell-ventilated area or go outside and spray the whole thing with clear-shinny spray paint. to give it that last, extra finish. things are getting a bit weird so i think that's enough for the firstepisode! even if this is something you're not going to try if the subscribe button! who knows what's goingto happen next.
