What projects are the hosts currently working on?
That was super gross. I'm really glad it didn't start recording when you did that. Um your show is two weeks away. No, no, a month away from a couple of days ago. Right, David? Yes. Yes, that is how is it going?
It's going okay. So I mean I wish I had more pieces. There's gonna be about twenty five or so and
That's a lot.
I feel like fifteen of those pieces are super solid. And I feel like I wish I could replace I wish I had time to replace the ten other pieces or have a little bit more. But I'm um I'm doing okay. I'm good. I'm not completely stressed out, but I am Definitely like this is what I do every single day and and and evening getting ready. And what typical Pachudo fashion, when I'm not shooting videos of everything, I will start projects and then start another project before finishing the last one. And I had to make a deal with myself to not start any new projects until all current projects are done. And even video projects that I that look done on YouTube still have a couple little things needed. For instance, like the the big cassette tape that I made.
There's an acrylic window on the front, but I needed to put an acrylic window on the back as well so dust wouldn't get trapped in there. And then I had to replace one of the 3D printed screws because I printed it on different filament. You couldn't tell on the video, but you know, it's one of those things like I gotta replace and most of my projects have that little like, oh, they need one more little thing. The big aero light that I made a couple months ago, I didn't like the base and I thought it was too tall. And I made a base out of a drum rotor. uh drum break. And um and I finished that. So I've been just been going through and finishing all the old projects and keep an inventory and it's it's going okay.
I thought I would be really stressed out. I'm I'm doing all right. Good. I'm in a really, really good rhythm. Like I'm enjoying going into the shop every night and and doing stuff. Fun stuff.
Do you think there's anything about this rhythm that you will continue on? I mean, I obviously you can't stay at the same pace and the same intensity, yeah. But
Um it's because I'm doing a lot more experimentation and things that I haven't done, like the current project, uh I've been using some heavy body acrylic to try to build up a a texture around some laser cut letters that I made. I've never done that and that's worked well. And it's so it's kind of fun to experiment with those things that I haven't done before. And I've really over the last couple of years I've kind of gotten away from tinkering and experimenting just because I've been so busy and there's
forcing you to stretch.
Yeah. And there's so much value and every artist needs.
They need to stretch
And so it's I just have this like renewed energy of I wanna try new stuff and I wanna bring in more different materials and colors and stuff into into what I doing. I think like this it it feels like a pivot point for me. Yeah. That's awesome.
I I think hearing you say that about like stretching with materials and you know, specifically the heavy body acrylic. That is a That is a textural aesthetic addition to something that you did. Right. It's not prob I would assume. I mean, I don't know what the project is, but I would assume that that is a That is an adjective around the thing that you made. And that's Something I have a really hard time with. Uh uh uh valuing enough to add in. Like I'll do and we've talked about this a bunch of times, like the structural thing. Yes, it is It is structurally what I wanted it to be, and that's enough. But you're enjoying the fact that you're taking additional time to add layers that are not structural, not necessary, structural like necessary.
But they make it better. That's really cool to hear. That that is exciting to you. That's something that I need to I need to play with as well.
Yeah, and just just playing around, it feels like you're adding another tool to the arsenal because you've done that before. Even if I have to go back and watch an old video to relearn how I did something, at least I've I've I've done that before.
