<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HOW TO MAKE 8-BIT PIXEL  <br>SPINY IN 5 EASY STEPS</h2>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li><a href="#step1">Draw 1.5″ grid lines</a></li><li><a href="#step2">Route along the grid lines</a></li><li><a href="#step3">Cut out Spiny&#8217;s silhouette</a></li><li><a href="#step4">Prep Pixel Spiny for painting</a></li><li><a href="#step5">Paint 8-bit Spiny</a> </li></ol>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step1">STEP 1: DRAW 1.5″ GRID LINES</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use a ruler to mark grid lines space 0.75″ apart.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step2">STEP 2: ROUTE ALONG THE GRID LINES</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Install a&nbsp;<a href="http://amzn.to/2EWs7xA">v-groove router bit</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://amzn.to/2F8bazk">route along</a>&nbsp;the grid lines. Use a&nbsp;<a href="http://amzn.to/2BWzqmb">clamp edge guide</a>&nbsp;to ensure straight lines.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step3">STEP 3: CUT OUT SPINY&#8217;S SILHOUETTE</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trace out the silhouette of Spiny and then cut out the Spiny’s shape with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2FAjJ3H">jigsaw</a>&nbsp;(or use a bandsaw).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-6.jpg?resize=750%2C1000&#038;ssl=1" alt="Marking out the silhouette of Spiny onto plywood" class="wp-image-3561" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-6.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-6.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>Marking out the silhouette of Spiny onto plywood</figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step4">STEP 4: PREP PIXEL SPINY FOR PAINTING</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sand between the grooves and sand the surface of Spiny.&nbsp; I used scrap piece of wood to support the sandpaper as I sanded between the grooves.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="562" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-8.jpg?resize=750%2C562&#038;ssl=1" alt="Spray primer before painting Spiny" class="wp-image-3562" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-8.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-8.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>Spray primer before painting Spiny</figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step5">STEP 5: PAINT PIXEL SPINY</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Paint each pixel on Spiny. Painting between the grooves is a little tricky. Use painters tape to maintain clean lines. I was impatient and used <a href="http://amzn.to/2FGqRMd">paint brushes for painting miniatures</a>&nbsp;to paint in the crevices. <br>If necessary, apply multiple layers of paint. Once the paint is dried, protect the finish with a clear coat. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="562" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-21.jpg?resize=750%2C562&#038;ssl=1" alt="Spraying a gloss clear coat to protect the acrylic paint" class="wp-image-3563" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-21.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/8-bit_spiny_lakitu_super_mario_bros_woodworking_pixel_art_geeky_nerdy_retro_gamer-21.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>Spraying a gloss clear coat to protect the acrylic paint</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The nice thing about working on Spiny at the same time is the characters use the exact same colors.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DIY 8-BIT PIXEL SPINY</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am really happy with how the 8-bit Super Mario characters turned out. Next up: Giant Goomba!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hello everyone, today I’m sharing how to make 8-bit pixel Blooper from the NES version of Super Mario Bros. I created this project on a whim when I noticed I had a scrap piece of 1/2&#8243; plywood sitting on my garage floor. I followed the same technique I used to create <a href="https://www.ashleygrenon.com/2018/02/legend-zelda-8-bit-pixel-art-make-8-bit-link/">8-bit pixel Link from the original The Legend of Zelda game</a>.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step1">Step 1: Draw 1.5&#8243; grid lines</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use a ruler to mark grid lines space 1.5&#8243; apart.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step3">Step 3: Cut out Blooper&#8217;s silhouette</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cut out the Blooper&#8217;s shape with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2FAjJ3H">jigsaw</a>&nbsp;(or use a bandsaw).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/excalibur_scroll_saw_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-15.jpg?resize=750%2C500&#038;ssl=1" alt="Cutting out the silhouette of Blooper on my Excalibur scroll saw" class="wp-image-3447" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/excalibur_scroll_saw_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-15.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/excalibur_scroll_saw_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-15.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>Cutting out the silhouette of Blooper on my Excalibur scroll saw</figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step4">Step 4: Prep Pixel Blooper for painting</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sand between the grooves and sand the surface of Blooper.&nbsp; I used scrap piece of wood to support the sandpaper as I sanded between the grooves.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/home_right_spray_tent_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-23.jpg?resize=750%2C500&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-3448" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/home_right_spray_tent_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-23.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/home_right_spray_tent_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-23.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>Priming Blooper with white spray paint inside of the <a href="https://amzn.to/2U51Osi">spray paint tent</a></figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="step5">Step 5: Paint Pixel Blooper</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Paint each pixel on Blooper. Painting between the grooves is a little tricky. Use painters tape to maintain clean lines. I was impatient and used <a href="http://amzn.to/2FGqRMd">paint brushes for painting miniatures</a> to paint in the crevices.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/delta_cereamcoat_acrylic_craft_paint_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-33.jpg?resize=750%2C500&#038;ssl=1" alt="Painting Blooper with Delta Cereamcoat Acrylic Craft Paints (black, white, and gray)" class="wp-image-3449" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/delta_cereamcoat_acrylic_craft_paint_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-33.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/delta_cereamcoat_acrylic_craft_paint_8_BIT_super_mario_bros_nes_blooper_cheep_cheep_wall_art_pixel_tutorial_geek_decor-33.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>Painting Blooper with Delta Cereamcoat Acrylic Craft Paints (black, white, and gray)</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If necessary, apply multiple layers of paint. Once the paint is dried, protect the finish with a clear coat.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Cut out Cheep Cheep&#8217;s silhouette</h3>
<p>Cut out the Cheep Cheep&#8217;s shape with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2FAjJ3H">jigsaw</a> (or use a bandsaw).</p>
<h3 id="step4">Step 4: Prep Pixel Cheep Cheep for painting</h3>
<p>Sand between the grooves and sand the surface of Cheep Cheep.  I used scrap piece of wood to support the sandpaper as I sanded between the grooves.</p>

<h3 id="step5">Step 5: Paint Pixel Cheep Cheep</h3>
<p>Paint each pixel on Cheep Cheep. Painting between the grooves is a little tricky. Use painters tape to maintain clean lines. I was impatient and used <a href="http://amzn.to/2FGqRMd">paint brushes for painting miniatures</a> to paint in the crevices.</p>

<p>Hello everyone, today I’m sharing how to make 8-bit pixel Goomba from the NES version of Super Mario Bros. I created this project on a whim when I noticed I had a scrap piece of 1/2&#8243; plywood sitting on my garage floor. I followed the same technique I used to create <a href="https://www.ashleygrenon.com/2018/02/legend-zelda-8-bit-pixel-art-make-8-bit-link/">8-bit pixel Link from the original The Legend of Zelda game</a>.</p>

<h3 id="step3">Step 3: Cut out Goomba&#8217;s silhouette</h3>
<p>Cut out the Goomba&#8217;s shape with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2FAjJ3H">jigsaw</a> (or use a bandsaw).</p>

<h3 id="step4">Step 4: Prep Pixel Goomba for painting</h3>
<p>Sand between the grooves and sand the surface of Goomba.  I used scrap piece of wood to support the sandpaper as I sanded between the grooves.</p>
<h3 id="step5">Step 5: Paint Pixel Goomba</h3>
<p>Paint each pixel on Goomba. Painting between the grooves is a little tricky. Use painters tape to maintain clean lines. I was impatient and used <a href="http://amzn.to/2FGqRMd">paint brushes for painting miniatures</a> to paint in the crevices.</p>
<p>If necessary, apply multiple layers of paint. Once the paint is dried, protect the finish with a clear coat.</p>

<p>Hello everyone, today I&#8217;m sharing how to make 8-bit pixel Link from the original The Legend of Zelda game. I created this project for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/artofgeekchallenge/">February&#8217;s Art of Geek Challenge</a>. The theme for the month is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BeqHsdsn46c/?taken-by=artofgeekchallenge">The Legend Of Zelda</a>.</p>

<h3 id="step3">Step 3: Cut out Link&#8217;s silhouette</h3>
<p>Cut out the Link&#8217;s shape with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2FAjJ3H">jigsaw</a>.</p>

<h3 id="step4">Step 4: Prep Pixel Link for painting</h3>
<p>Sand between the grooves and sand the surface of Link.  I use scrap piece of wood to support the sandpaper as I sanded between the grooves.</p>
<h3 id="step5">Step 5: Paint Pixel Link</h3>
<p>Paint each pixel on Link. Painting between the grooves is a little tricky. Use painters tape to maintain clean lines. I was impatient and used <a href="http://amzn.to/2FGqRMd">paint brushes for painting miniatures</a> to paint in the crevices.</p>
<p>If necessary, apply multiple layers of paint. Once the paint is dried, protect the finish with a clear coat.</p>

<h2>DIY 8-Bit Pixel Link</h2>
<p>I am really happy with how pixel Link turned out. The process of creating him was less tedious than my <a href="https://www.ashleygrenon.com/2017/08/diy-giant-mario-pixel-wall-art/">pixel Mario build</a>.  Painting the pixels required more work, but the extra work involved there pales in comparison to the work I avoided by using a piece of plywood.</p>

<p>I love it when I can combine woodworking and geeky things. Today I&#8217;m sharing how to build a giant Mario pixel wall art. This was a really fun (and really tedious) project that I created for the <a href="https://www.modernmakerpodcast.com/">Modern Makers Podcast&#8217;s</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BSzIcAwFY08/?taken-by=modernmakerpodcast">Two 2&#215;4 Challenge</a>. The objective of the challenge was to create something using 70% of two 2&#215;4 boards. The classic Super Mario Bros was my introduction to video games, and thus 8-bit Mario will always have a special place in heart. &lt;3</p>

</ol>
<p>Before starting the project, I took a look at several pictures of 8-bit Mario.  Once I selected the version I liked the most, I counted the number of pixels per color.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_2712" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/8bitmario.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2712" class="size-full wp-image-2712" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/8bitmario.jpg?resize=300%2C400&#038;ssl=1" alt="8 bit Mario" width="300" height="400" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/8bitmario.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/8bitmario.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2712" class="wp-caption-text">8 bit Mario</p></div></p>
<p>For Mario in resting position, you&#8217;ll need the following number of pixels:</p>
<ul>
<li>45 red</li>
<li>54 dark brown</li>
<li>44 tan</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="resaw">Step 1: Resaw the 2x4s</h2>
<p>Cut each 2&#215;4 in half and resaw boards on the bandsaw. The goal here is to stretch the 2x4s by turning them into 1x4s. (Or you can skip this step and just buy 1&#215;4 boards.)</p>
<p>I used the <a href="http://amzn.to/2sOzmjH">FeatherDuo</a> to keep steady pressure as I resawed the 2x4s. It&#8217;s a really handy tool.  I can&#8217;t recommend it enough.  Watch it in action below:</p>

<h2 id="square">Step 2: Square the boards</h2>
<p>Alignment is critical. You want to ensure the boards are square on each side.  Start with a <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-8346491-10368321?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FRIDGID-6-Amp-6-1-8-in-Corded-Jointer-Planer-JP0610%2F202269174&amp;cjsku=202269174">jointer</a> and flatten one face, followed by an edge. Move to the <a href="http://amzn.to/2sqXs3K">planer</a> to flatten another face and mill all the boards down to the same thickness.</p>
<h2 id="rip">Step 3: Rip boards to 2&#8243; wide</h2>
<p>On the <a href="http://amzn.to/2trrToM">table saw</a> rip the boards down to 2&#8243; strips. Save the leftovers. You will need them later.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_2860" style="width: 760px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-5.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2860" class="size-full wp-image-2860" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-5.jpg?resize=750%2C562&#038;ssl=1" alt="1x4s ripped into 2&quot; wide strips" width="750" height="562" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-5.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-5.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2860" class="wp-caption-text">1x4s ripped into 2&#8243; wide strips</p></div></p>
<h2 id="route">Step 4: Route the edges of the 2&#8243; strips</h2>
<p>Equip a <a href="http://amzn.to/2soxe1q">router</a> with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2sUjYCW">45 degree chamfer bit</a>. Route the along the edges of the strips.  (I waited until after I cut the strips into individual squares to begin routing. I don&#8217;t recommend that.)</p>
<h2 id="cut">Step 5: Cut the strips into 2&#8243; squares</h2>
<p>Cut each strip into 2&#8243; squares.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_2859" style="width: 760px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-10.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2859" class="size-full wp-image-2859" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-10.jpg?resize=750%2C562&#038;ssl=1" alt="Lots of 2&quot; squares" width="750" height="562" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-10.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-10.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2859" class="wp-caption-text">Lots of 2&#8243; squares</p></div></p>
<h2 id="route-again">Step 6: Route each edge of each square</h2>
<p>Equip a <a href="http://amzn.to/2soxe1q">router</a> with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2sUjYCW">45 degree chamfer bit</a>. Route along the remaining two sides of each square.  I placed each square on top of a <a href="http://amzn.to/2sRZdrV">bench cookie</a> as I was routing.  This eliminated the need to clamp each square in place.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_2857" style="width: 760px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-23.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2857" class="size-full wp-image-2857" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-23.jpg?resize=750%2C562&#038;ssl=1" alt="Rockler bench cookie" width="750" height="562" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-23.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ashleygrenon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/diy_pixel_mario_super_mario_bros_wall_art_tutorial_woodworking-23.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2857" class="wp-caption-text">Rockler bench cookie</p></div></p>

<h2 id="sand">Step 7: Sand</h2>
<p>Sand each square to prep it for a finish.</p>
<h2 id="stain">Step 8: Stain, paint or dye the squares</h2>
<p>I used a mixture of dyes and stains to color the squares. For the red squares, I created a dye from red food color and rubbing alcohol. The tan squares were stained with <a href="http://amzn.to/2tralsG">Watco Danish Oil in Medium Walnut</a>. The dark brown squares were stained with ECOS Paints WoodShield stain in Special Walnut.</p>
<h2 id="assemble">Step 9: Assemble Mario</h2>
<p>Glue each square together to form Mario.  Use a straight edge to ensure proper alignment. I used <a href="http://amzn.to/2rBvmiU">DAP Rapid Fuse Wood Adhesive</a> (and when I ran out of that I used the <a href="http://amzn.to/2sSH1h5">All Purpose</a> version).</p>
<h2 id="support">Step 10: Add additional support</h2>
<p>For added support and durability, strengthen the backside of Mario with the leftover strips from ripping the 1&#215;4 boards. Cut the strips to size and install with <a href="http://amzn.to/2sS23NJ">wood glue</a> and <a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-8346491-10368321?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FRyobi-18-Volt-ONE-AirStrike-Brad-Nailer-Kit-P854%2F205337057&amp;cjsku=205337057">nails</a>.</p>
<h2>Step 11: Enjoy!</h2>
<p>Install hanging hardware or lean it against a wall and enjoy the fruits of your hard labor.</p>

Mario is a little larger than I thought he&#8217;d be. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f605.png" alt="😅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> This is my entry for @modernmakerpodcast #two2x4challenge. Here&#8217;s a rough outline of my steps for the project (in the near future I&#8217;ll write a tutorial and maybe upload a video): 1. Resaw 2x4s in half 2. Make the boards square on a jointer and planer 3. Rip board into 2&#8243; strips 4. Cut strips into 2&#8243; squares 5. Add a 45 degree chamfer to each square 6. Stain the wood (I used @ecospaints Woodshield in Special Walnut for the dark brown, Watco Medium Walnut for the light brown and a made a red stain from food coloring and rubbing alcohol.) 7. Glue up the pixels with @dapproducts rapid fuse adhesive 8. Used remaining strips of wood for added support on the back side. It was a long and tedious process, but I&#8217;m really happy with how it turned out! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44a.png" alt="👊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> . #pixel #pixelart #supermario #supermariobros #mario #2&#215;4 #makersgonnamake #makeallthethings #diyhalloffame #woodworker #wood #woodcraft #dowoodworking #diy #challenge #woodworking #alldone #geek #geekcraft #nes #retro #retrogames #retrogamer #gamer #videogames @modernbuilds @foureyesfurniture @benjaminuyeda</a></p>
