So glad I found this. Now I can make my wood logo signage.

[@DesignBundles]

Yay that's exciting!

[@demonyita07304]

Thank you! New crafter here! You and@AuntieTay gave me something to love after my disabling stroke back in 2019.

[@DesignBundles]

So glad we could help! 😊 Thank you for watching!

[@marianmalone9523]

I’ve never seen wood cut with the Cricut. Thanks for sharing!

[@karenturner5443]

It has to be the criket maker

[@Von210TX]

Yay my next project

[@virginiarobles7697]

That's was very helpful, thank you

[@kzoretic2]

I am a retired educator and I must tell you that I really appreciate the professionalism I see in your tutorials. I'm sure there are people who watch some of the instructional material on youtube and want to see the huge smiles and the chatter - but I think most of us are looking for information - and your channel is one of the best. I have to listen to 10 to 15 minutes of inane chatter before some of the channels get "down to business". Your channel proves that you. can appear friendly and interesting and still give clear, and concise instruction. I do SO appreciate that! You and Jennifer Maker are the absolute BEST in my book!

[@seekingtrueanswers]

All three layers of "Joy" was interesting and informative. Thanks!!

[@asoto128]

I had no idea you could cut wood with my Maker! Thank you Michael. I always learn something new with your tutorials.

[@tinacossar764]

Yay Mr Crafty Pants !

[@doribergman2573]

Funny I should find you here! LOL His videos are truly just the best!

[@tinacossar764]

@@doribergman2573 I just love his videos. He is so articulate and I love he so you where you mouse goes for different things. When I first started watching videos the person didn't show you where to click. He is really the only one I watch since I found him. He is so up lifting and happy but not overly excited you can't understand him. Lol

[@cindyac123abc]

Love how you shown how to fix all the little things!!

[@dchat30]

Beautiful

[@sharonbaughman7414]

Beautiful

[@suzannefree6712]

I love it. It’s about time somebody did the wood tutorial. And I see you used your fancy language again. LOL! I love it.

[@AshP4113]

That is amazing!!! I'm in aww!!!! This is SO cool! Right now I have the air 2, but I'm gonna get the maker asap, and can't wait to give this a shot!. Your amazing as always Michael 🤯🎉🤗💞

[@AnnieMorandArtisteFlyée]

Oohh Basswood !! 😃 I received my Cricut Maker TODAYYYY !!! 😁 I think I'm gonna be making cuts all nights lolll 🤩🥰

[@MsNukNuk]

OMG that was amazing. U make me sooo happy that I brought my Cricut because of you. Ur such a GREAT teacher 🥰 Thanks for sharing #TeamMrCraftyPants

[@darlenelorimer8518]

Cool!

[@charylturner5961]

Can this be done with the Explore Air 2?

[@charissegibbs7892]

Thank You that was so easy to follow♥️

[@lisaplaster9466]

Sweet!! Wanted to try this

[@michellesebold4517]

Are there other woods that can be used? I have all the stuff just nervous about taking the next step. I really liked your presentation. You did a great job explaining step by step and where everything is located in design space. I really appreciate that!! Thank you so much for sharing!!💕💕💕

[@pambello9584]

Love watching your videos, question, Why do some of the cuts cut thru to your mat?

[@DesignBundles]

It depends on your blade and cut settings.

[@alohagirl61]

Thank you for sharing this video. I was wondering how to do this. MerryChristmas❄️☃️

[@sandraordaz5641]

It just amazes me how much I can still learn after all these years of using and teaching Cricut Design Space! I have never even thought of using Contour and duplicate to remove all the "bits and bobs"! Michael, you rock!!!

[@dawnasure2030]

What a great video!! Is this something that could also been done on an Explorer Air 2?

[@GiamarieSaponaro]

I would like to know this too. I thought the CA2 could cut wood it just had to be a thinner mm thickness. I can't remember exactly because I never tried it yet. Yet. Lol

[@michaleneyanda7737]

Yes! Use the deep cutting blade for air 2!! :)

[@GiamarieSaponaro]

@@michaleneyanda7737 Awesome!! Thank you! I have that too!

[@atinybitofthisdesigns]

Here is a hack for ya- when you are trying to remove all those pesky holes from that font, try this..........make your square, send behind font, slice, then instead of moving your original font out of the way and trying to align them back up again later (that’s a pain), hide your original font. DO NOT MOVE ANYTHING, delete your center cut font. Now you can contour out the outer bits form the altered square leaving only those pesky wholes. Unhide your original font. Now you will see they are aligned up perfectly. Lastly weld them together. Try it and let me know if it worked for you with that font. I hope I explained it well. I use this method when there is too much to contour out.

[@jayhustle5414]

U could have just selected the bits and bobs and kept the main parts when contouring

[@pinkmosquito22]

And would've had to slice again and contour the way he did the first time to get the letters back. Also probably could've just used 'align > center' on his contoured slice and welded font... I would assume that would align everything but I haven't tried it. Definitely some great suggestions! 😊

[@elizabethtichenor]

Just got a maker 3 to cut wood. This was perfect! Thank you so much 👍

[@amyhoover214]

What us the name of your hand stapler and where did you get it?! I hate using hot glue!

[@jennyhackenberg3790]

thank you. I am learning more and more about my cricut.

[@annwright8665]

Best instructor giving instructions I have seen! Thank you.

[@pelagiedeghie5196]

What that machine is doing is just amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us. Please I want to buy it. I'm from Cameroon in Africa. I have not seen it in all market that we have here. Can you help me please 🙏🙏🙏

[@DesignBundles]

Can you purchase from Amazon?

[@doggieagility]

Thanks for showing me how to fill in the “bits & bobs”!

[@74sleen]

Another great video! Thanks!

[@bmadives53]

Where is maker on sale now?

[@lovieball552]

JoAnn

[@wendyvanveldhuizen6147]

Thanks very helpful!

[@luannmartelli5536]

So agree with the letter spacing!

[@enjoydalittlethings]

I can't wait to make this...thanks

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

Absolutely beautiful!! This was a great tutorial!! Can't wait to cut some wood. 😂😂😂 I have to tell you how much I love your red arrows in your instructions!!!!! They are so very helpful. Most videos move that cursor so fast across the design space I can't follow it and end up having to watch again and again. Ugh!!! Your red arrows show us exactly what you're talking about and what you're doing. That makes a world of difference. Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your amazing creativity, knowledge and talent with us!!! I sincerely appreciate it!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄☃️🤶🎅🦌❣️

[@lorenmcghee8277]

Thank you Mr. Crafty Pants!!! This was soooo cute!!! I ♥️it!!! Thank you Design Bundles!!!!

[@sweetjazz7777]

This was AWSOME thank uuuu

[@LINHNGUYEN-dk1gv]

Hi, my cricut keeps saying unplug or disconnected half way to cutting 1/16 basswood. May I get some advise please? Thank you!

[@sharonjansky3877]

Why am I watching this, I don’t even own a Maker?!?! Why - because it’s Mr. Crafty Pants!!!

[@michellecarns7381]

I would pronounce Aaliyah as 'Ah-lee-yah'. :) Also, I love how Michael always helps us save money!! 🤩🤑

[@donnaleiber6214]

Have you ever tried cutting wood veneers with the Maker (like Sauers brand, for example)?

[@beckysmith8675]

Bits and Bobs!! 🤣🤣 I love that expression!!,😁😁

[@hfamilym]

Why didn't you just center them with each other the first time?

[@JenniferJohnson-kj1ll]

Where do you get the knife blade

[@DesignBundles]

Here is the link amzn.to/3BTMWEE

[@pamelaconnolly4467]

Love the project.😀

[@taylorcrane4480]

So good to watch!!

[@zakiyadaniels7639]

Great!

[@sandrawalters]

Uh-Lay-Uh is what it looks like it is pronounced to me.

[@email4cervantes]

Loved Mr crafty pants! Please have him do more videos.

[@gloriavelez479]

Thank you for the tips; cutting against the grain and moving the tracking wheels to the side before cutting the basswood. It

[@DesignBundles]

You're welcome, we're always happy to help!

[@glocat1963]

I am so glad you did this I had no idea Cricut could do this. I have a silly question. Can it cut small earrings? I am not sure how small the cuts can be. Thank you for sharing the door decor is beautiful.❤️

[@DesignBundles]

Yes!!! You can cut small earrings using the wood or even faux leather! - Dawn

[@ArkMedic1]

I'll look for your instructions to all of your tremendously beautiful projects no matter where you place them! Thank you, Michael! You are so crafty!!! And, this video didn't even have any Santa hats on it! I watched the entire video, and I love it! I cannot wait to get my new bundle! I sent you a question on the text message group regarding this exact project, and the Cricut Air 2 vs. the Cricut Maker, and whether they will both cut this material? Will the Air 2 accommodate the knife blade and the basswood?

[@suecasad8888]

Your video was great! I cut my first piece of wood and it came out great! Thanks for the tips! I do have a question- when I removed the wood it had cut through my purple mat- I used the default pressure- what should I do different next time? Thank you!

[@HappyNoodleMom]

I loved the ending result! Very cute!

[@barb.b]

You really make some great projects. I’m just beginning with a Cricut and want to make some tee shirts for my grandson. I like your videos very much. You explain the steps real clearly. Thanks. 😉🎄

[@sharonjansky3877]

Wow - just wow! However, I was really leaning toward buying an Explorer Air 2 but after seeing this now I’m wanting a Maker! Thanks a lot Mr. Crafty Pants! lol

[@simonemoore7376]

I’m going to make one thanks for the video

[@michellewilkinson5127]

Thank you so much for this video! Super informative about getting rid of all those tiny holes in the JOY lettering! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@joannemcd1257]

Your patience during the explanation of the process is perfect, Michael! You know, when Cricut machines first came out, I bought one of the 1st models, but hardly used it. I gave it away a couple of years ago to a young girl and her mother, as the daughter wanted to try it. Now, I guess I'll have to save up and buy a new one, as they (and YOU!) have inspired me to give it another try. This time, however, I'll be prepared because I've watched all your videos. Thanks again, Michael!

[@katiegarvin9833]

Nice! I didn't know you can preview fonts on design bundles! Always full of great info Michael. Came out beautiful btw. Gotta say this vid to rewatch when I'm ready to try wood cutting. Noob here, afraid to leave my vinyl comfort zone. Thank you for all these informative, fun videos!!

[@theasyper5298]

I have learned something new

[@bridgetrodriguez1635]

This is awesome and so exciting! I CANNOT wait to start cutting wood on my maker! But where did you get that exacto knife tool you used to help cut out the wood after you unloaded the mat?

[@linkster57]

Great, clear and concise video.

[@marisolm9863]

Thank you Michael. Another unique tutorial. I have once again learned new ideas. You always make me smile, even if I am having a rough day. I love watching your tutorials.

[@jenniferscraftynook5626]

Watching these videos makes me want another Cricut machine.. love it 😀

Thank You for being such an awesome detailed instructor for us newbies!! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@karenturner5443]

It has to be a cricket maker

[@corinredondo7460]

That is so amazing! I want a maker now! I cant believe everything thing they can do.

[@magbanach]

Love the tutorial but I don't have a cricut maker 😭😭😭

[@beckyfahringer474]

I'm learning so much from you 💕💕 thank you 💕

[@Melaninbeauty88]

What did you use on the wood to hang the sign on the door?

[@DesignBundles]

You can use ribbon, some people put a hole in the back to hang it on a nail, or you could even attach a sawtooth hanger onto the back! - Brittany

[@christinahaney5585]

Love this!!! I really learned something I have been wanting to know for a while now.
