Hey guys! So a while back we got tagged in a post about this “resin curing machine” that supposedly helps you cure your resin pours faster. It basically warms the air inside, and resin cures faster at higher temperatures.

So we wanted to really try to recreate the look on the box, so we started with me doing the unicorn and Evan doing the “the more you know” star. Let’s just saw the thermoplastic beads were…
…disappointing.

Hey guys! We've been really having a lot of fun filming second channel content and experimenting a bit. For this video we wanted to try a kid's "stained glass" kit and see how it compared to using resin. The kit actually uses thermoplastics that you're supposed to melt in the oven so it's a prett...

For the sake of the flow of the video, we actually cut out a few tests that were interesting but didn't ultimately lead to the final result we went with...but we didn't want y'all to miss out! So here is some bonus content where we see how mixing glitter, glow powder, and water affect the super g...

In this Aftershow we actually hadn't at the time realized yet that a few tests would be cut completely from the video... so we're gonna upload those in a sec! In this Aftershow we cover:

- The original ...

Heh, nothing like a last minute switch in the video schedule to keep us on our toes! The pottery wheel video was SO much footage that it's not gonna be ready by tomorrow. The plus side is we actually do have a different video ready (it was for a sponsor that needed further in advance review so th...

Wow, so it turns out that pottery wheels are MUCH harder to use than we originally thought. We stuck it out though, despite all the stumbling and ended up with 2 pieces we really ended up liking! We definitely feel like we learned a TON but it's also surprising how much of pottery is all about th...

We're gonna format this one as a "cheap vs expensive" kinda like we did for our first candle making video and our bath bomb video. Evan got the "kids" kit (aka the cheap one) and I'm using the big boy "real" pottery wheel (it's not THE most expensive one out there, but definitely more than the ki...

So Katelyn is editing a video and I got this crazy urge to just start a project and not even film it. I know. I'm sorry 🤣 It's a somewhat simple build that is basically a fancy box with a COB LED strip embedded inside. I've built the frame but still need to build a front panel (everything is h...
2022-06-06 16:42:38 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for your feedback on our most recent after show video we uploaded via Patreon's beta video feature. It seems like many of y'all like to save it to a playlist or put it on your TV which is great info to have. We'll go back to posting it as a YouTube video instead :) -E&K
2022-06-05 15:32:55 +0000 UTC View PostI’m a derpus and didn’t turn on my mic before Evan surprised me with the recording - I’m sorry! Luckily Evan’s mic picked me up but my apologies for being a little quiet here
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT!! The dice turned out AMAZINNNNNGGGG!! 💖🌟✨ Katelyn is reviewing the edit and working on the final export and everything now so it will definitely go up this Friday but we wanted to share some final shots with y'all first! -E

Have you ever been part way through a project and decided to throw out a ton of the experiments and work you just did because you think you now have a better idea? Well that is what hit me part way through this dice video and Katelyn was nice enough to not guilt me too much for it.

Not sure where this falls in the cursed projects ranking, but I’m sure it’s up there. In this Aftershow we cover:

- Will we actually keep this installed?

A question we got from several people after the last post about our velvet toilet seat was “how will you clean it? 🤢🤢🤢” (I added the emoji’s but I imagine they were there in spirit). As we mentioned, we had plans to do some “waterproofing” tests on the small scale pieces but AL...

Hi y'all! So a while ago I got a really cool slow motion camera and I've been experimenting/learning how to use it some in between videos.

On a scale from cursed to blursed, how do you rate our bean phone case? We really tried to make it look like you are staring down into a deep pot o' beans...
Can't wait to share the video tomorrow...
2022-04-28 19:25:16 +0000 UTC View Post
When brainstorming how to make the bean phone case a reality we debated how to get the bean shapes into the case - should we pour silicone around beans to make the case itself have a bean texture? Or do we embed the beans themselves into the case?
We went with the embedded beans :) 2022-04-25 15:29:33 +0000 UTC View Post
...we're making a phone case out of beans 😆😬
Evan found these phone cases meant for sublimation (image transferring) that come apart into various pieces, meaning we could take them apart and make a mold from the backing. Our original idea when he found these was to make a resin phone ...
