What projects are Jimmy, David, and Bob currently working on?
What was that
maniacal laugh before I don't know? Dislaightening the moon. Oh. You did it. Oh. And I don't even think it was recorded. Yeah, it was just a really weird little giggle laugh. Anyway, how's it going? Going to pay my bills as you guys
could see.
In here. Yeah. So I'll I'll I'll mute. We got on and we're chatting and and Jimmy just holds up this stack of paper, a bunch of envelopes, and he's like, Yeah, these are my bills. It's uh
like stacked up my ducks. Stacked up. Like a club sandwich. Dave, what does that reference?
Oh, oh. I am missing some sort of comedic reference.
Oh no no, it's a it's a a kid rock song from the nineties. Oh. My bill's stacked high like a club sandwich.
Oh. Uh
back
when you used to be talking about kid rock in this house.
Back when you used to be a kid rock supporter, but
Yeah, no. David, the show's coming up. How's it going? It's gone good. I am I'm buried in it. And um The artwork is due to the gallery on the fifteenth, so that is less than two weeks away. So it's gonna be about twenty five things and um I wish there was more. I wish there was more time, but it is what it is. We're working on kind of like what is the main centerpiece. I think I've talked about it before, but there's gonna be this big sheet of plywood that will say unsubscribe, which is the name of the show. And then hanging on that plywood is two hundred little panels. And together all the little panels will also say unsubscribe but as an The thought of this is like Art can be expensive and so you can buy these individual little pieces which will be much cheaper, something you can artwork that you can take home.
And um and typically with the with the gallery stuff, you when you purchase something, you don't get it right there, right then and there, because it's a two day event. So it a lot of the stuff will be shipped or delivered or you'll have a whole range of Yeah. But this part is kind of like a living piece where you can buy the int individual little panel, you take it right then and there. And then as you pull that panel away, the backing board still says unsubscribe. And so I thought uh because I hate myself, I thought I would make all the little panels which are around five inches by six inches to use nothing but scraps that I've just been collecting over the last couple years. And so each one of these little panels is a r like it's a quarter inch by quarter inch chopstick, random species all glued to a piece of plywood.
And because it's all scrap wood I haven't I'm not able to I can hear my I can hear myself echoing.
Jimmy, you might want to back up a little bit. I think you're echoing.
So uh Uh because uh y you would think you would just glue a bunch of quarter inch by quarter inch square dowels onto a long board and then cut that board into pieces. But because we're dealing with scraps, some of them are just barely long enough. So we actually had to make thirty five hundred little chopsticks and then glue them onto that. That's a lot
of prep there. It looks great.
Yeah, it's it's it's been insane. We I thought maybe this part would take a day, but it's taken multiple days.
No.
Uh just because you're cutting at the table saw for so long, you need mental breaks, you're you're cutting small pieces. Um You turn your finger into a chopstick and you don't realize it. Yeah, I d I don't want to do that. So it's it's been uh it's been a process and I think it's gonna look cool. I still haven't gotten to the part where it says unsubscribe. And we actually made 215 because I need some to practice the on and and you know something's gonna happen, so I need extras to play with. So uh yeah, over thirty five hundred pieces for this for this major piece. That's pretty wild. Yeah, it's it's um
I would do it differently next time. So you said you had to CNC out the words from all of them. So how are you going to get all the panels together as a single piece to CNC the
Oh Bob. Oh we i it we indiv we will individually CNC each two hundred of the two hundred panels. Yes. So the file will be broken down into two hundred.
