We turned his room into a POKE BALL!!
We recently bought a house and started renovating the rooms. My son got to choose how to paint his.
The Process:
We started by ripping up the carpet. I had to watch because Aaron was super excited to help and with all the carpet strips there were a lot of nails sticking up. With a little bit of careful instruction, we were able to make short work of it. We then moved on to prepping the walls. Since there was a lot of wall paper, we used a method of removing the vinyl coating and then soaking the paper underneath with a non-toxic wallpaper remover spray. (Link bellow) Once the walls were clean, we went on to patch up any holes that were left. We used some high hide primer to help cover up the dark blue since we were going to a lighter color. The short roller handle liked bellow is extendable which would have made it a lot nicer to paint with my son. The one we used came from a dust pan but did the trick. Once the painting was done we used a laser-level to guide the painters tape outlining. With that complete we finished up the red paint. Once complete we made sure to go over the entire floor checking for nails and staples that might wear through the laminate flooring we installed. The last step was to add the decals and get all the furniture put back. If you have read this far, awesome, let me know in the comments! : ) Get the decals here: amzn.to/3bUGHmO

Переглядів 5 тис.4 роки тому
We love Minecraft and so we decided to make a Diamond epoxy sword as a prop. The Process: We started by making molds for the epoxy blanks. Once the molds were made we mixed the epoxy and added pigments to it to shade it to the right color. (see links below) While the epoxy cured, we prepared the wood we used. Walnut, redwood, and maple were chosen since we had some on hand. With the wood ready ...

The design for this deck cooler came from a video by DIY PETE. We have included a link to his video below. We started by figuring out how tall we wanted the cooler to sit. Then we cut down the 2x4s to size. Once cut to size, we secured the legs wi...

“When the world needed him most he vanished”
what app do u use?
We use Adobe Illustrator, but Inkscape is free and similar.
It turned out nice, very similar to yours.
Nice video!👍 My son and I still go and sand sculpting when we can. He is 23 and I have been doing it with him since he was 4. We just have to schedule it. I have lupus and can't be in the sun very long! 👍
Life long memories are why we do what we do as dads! : )
Love it- was looking for an idea for a puzzle frame for out cabin. Love the fork hack- will use that again!!
Super cool!
do you know what state this is
North Carolina
which software o deyou used to make lego decals??
We used Inkscape which is like Adobe illustrator but free.
@@MakerInTraining ty
Thank you! i have a lot of work ahead of me haha.
How do you keep the water from sinking into the ground?
Not very long. The best solution is to bring a tarp with you so it will hold the water longer. Hope this helps!
*SIMPLE TOOLS*
LOOKS AMAZING
How about with no tools?
It looked like lapis sword more then diamond
True! Wouldn’t that be a cool sword!
@@MakerInTraining yes that would be
Thanks for idea of a weight for a base, neat spray painting technique and the top too all helped me on an idea!
Glad it was helpful!
love what you do. This video is awsome!!!
Thank you so much!!
Whoop whoop! I love the room! Great job, guys. ❤️
Us too!
You just earned yourself a new subscriber!
I hope we inspire you! Thank you for the sub!
Thank you this video! We will be attempting to build our own like this.
Good luck!
This was so cool!!!
Thanks Ibraheem! : )
Its bad luck to put shoes on the table! But, I love your technique.
Thank you! 😊
oh nice, I was wondering where you went. dad: "so you want a little Pokeball?" youngman: "...no... not a little one 😆" the felt pads under the bed frame were a great idea. could swap them with rubber if it slides around too easily. very cool room.
We had a lot going on during the last year. We are working on an update video. Lots to talk about. : ) I like the idea of the rubber pads. I'll keep that in my back pocket. : )
what that is so cool nice job
You should make a pokeball bed for the room. Great job 👍
Hmmmm, that's an idea! Kind of like a Pokeball inception. . .
Is that a diy challenge I see? Edit: nice video
There will be one. . . : )
@@MakerInTraining : ) japoopado and I will be waiting
You know they make this really cool scoring tool to easily with some wallpaper remover. Looks great my friend!
Excellent suggestion, we will have to look into that next time we run into this problem! We had a lot of problems with the scoring not allowing enough of the removal gel to get in. (We were manually scoring it so the tool might have helped in that regard) That being said we needed a scrapper to help peal off the paper after the gel did it’s work anyways so it served double duty.
@@MakerInTraining Oh yeah I hated ripping wallpaper off, I will never paper my walls for the next persons sanity
Fantastic. Y'all are so much fun. Nice work on the blue tape.
Thank you! We did have a couple of places where the tape wasn’t tight enough against the wall and that caused a little bit of bleed through, but it was minor so it isn’t noticeable. We might make a shorts video showing an update on fixing it.
cool
Thanks!
This sand is so quality and these tools are not simple for me because i use plastic tools. I dont know your skills but this title a little bit clickbait according to me
What program is that?
So, as the likes and dislikes show, this project was a bust - AND - your young man had opportunity to work with dad - big plus. And, now you know that concrete is not a suitable medium for wind chimes - very important to know - AND you produced a video - big plus. Please try again and whatever you do PLEASE DO NOT ADD A BACKGROUND SOUND TRACK - of any kind. Distracting - often - ugly sound - usually. Here's a thought - make video of you making a set of nice sounding chimes and record THAT sound to play w a y in the background of the video. Chimes sounding lightly in the background while making a set of chimes with your family. Blessings to you and yours as you discovery more fun ways to spend time with family.
Omg.
Come out, come out, come out, and play again....
You'll only have to wait another day. New video dropping Sunday!
The gibberish is the best part......The world without gibberish just would not make sense.
I love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No. You can’t spray your buckets with WD40- come on. That can’t be good.
Today I am going to beach that's why
Great video
Awesome!
He looks older in lego form Edit:are you ever gonna be back?
We are currently Working on our next project. COVID put a damper on our progress but we will be publishing a new video soon! Thanks for asking!
Very nice and beautiful, great work. I love your work. I invite you to visit my channel and watching my children when making a beautiful sandcastle 😍
It's cool all I have to say
😁
Hey mit can you tell me what program did you use
I believe we used Inkscape. We now use the Adobe products, but for just starting out Inkscape is free and works well.
I was thinking about using a chainsaw, quick and easy
Awesome! I'm going to try this!
Aww thats so awesome..
Amazing
Where's the next video
In the works. : ) COVID put a huge damper on our projects but we are still working behind the scenes! Thank you for asking!
