New resin galaxy technique!

Tried a new strategy for resin galaxy that we REALLY like! Did one later that was mostly dark with just some subtle glitter and swirls:

Then once ...

Vodka Sauce Aftershow!

Happy Friday guys! Excited to have posted the second installment in our cooking series :) Ok so in this Aftershow we cover:

- The BIG mistake we made filming this
- Why it ended up being ok
- Further thoughts on cooking videos now that...

New cat bed project (yes, there's resin)

Hey guys! Working on next Friday's video and it's gonna be a clear cat bed! Evan's currently wearing it on his head but soon, hopefully the Supurrvisor will be sleeping in it. Because I really, REALLY wanna see her little squished floofs and toe b...

New cooking video on the way!

Hey guys! Now that the craziness of the underwater stream is officially wrapped up, we're gonna start doing bonus cooking videos again in between project videos! Next up: Vodka Pasta Sauce! It was much requested after we mentioned it in the Magic ...

Underwater Live Stream Aftershow!

Interestingly, this was recorded BEFORE the sponsor pulled out (we try to record these Aftershows as close to the wrap up of the project as possible, sometimes literally right after the outro!) Thanks guys for being there for us during all this. F...

Underwater stream video update

Update on the underwater streaming video: sponsor has officially 100% pulled out, and we got full clearance to post it however/whenever we want. We've updated the video to remove all traces of sponsor input, and we're starting to process captions ...

We just lost our biggest sponsor yet and that's ok (mini vlog 23)

Wanted to try something new, recording this right in the moment when things happen to get our fresh thoughts. Still a tad salty about the whole situation 😋 but we've learned many lessons from this and we just wanted to say how thankful that you...

Always be upgrading

While setting up for our acrylic paint live stream I must have messed up the focus settings which threw off the next video we filmed 😐 (everything turned out fine in the end, you'll hear more in our 8/7 aftershow lol).

But that just accel...

Blurring blurring blurring...

Hey guys! Thought I'd share one of the *very glamorous* parts of working with sponsors... dealing with 3rd party IP (3PIP). Which we initially thought of as basically logos, but while working on our underwater live stream video we've learned that ...

Check out this aftershow for:
- Why life hacks videos are SO much fun

Life Hacks pt.2

After the tensegrity table and the underwater stream we needed a quicker video for this Friday and we thought life hacks would be the perfect thing! Can y'all guess what some of these might be? We had a ton of fun filming these and Katelyn is work...

Underwater Live Stream... success!

Whew! You guys, we did it! There's a ton to share but I think we'll do it all in the Aftershow because there's soooo much that won't make sense til you've watched the project video, which will be live 7/31. Thank you to everyone who came and hung ...

Underwater live stream

Ok guys, we've taken on a really big project. We've actually been working on it for weeks already, and we have just a few days left til it happens. We're gonna attempt to do a live stream fully underwater. We haven't announced this yet because we ...

Tensegrity Table Aftershow!

- How we filmed this video different than other big builds and how it was so much better
- The emotional weight of a project like this with such unknowns
- New things we learned about filming/editing during this build
- How we felt about ...

*Spoiler* Tensegrity Table Reveal!

You guys.... IT WORKED!!!!! IT WORKED SO WELL!!!!!!

Look at that glorious thing!! It's SUPER sturdy, barely any wobble, we can pick it up, rotate ...

We painted the tensegrity table!

Well both pieces of the tensegrity table are done (and painted! We used the same acrylic wood stain that we used on the rainbow bench). It's interesting to see the reality (above) vs the photoshop mockup (don't mind that it's just floating in spac...

The pieces are coming together!

Hey guys! Wanted to share progress on our tensegrity table. Since everything needed to be very precise and balanced, we used the CNC to cut a template and then used that template to cut out our pieces. We haven't done this since we collabed with J...

Next project - "impossible" tensegrity table

 Hey guys! Wanted to share what we'll be working on next - a tensegrity table! Above is a small scale model we printed just to play with it before we designed our own.

They work by being held up by the tension of the middle string and t...

Resin Pencils Aftershow

Hey guys! Usually we try to record our Aftershows right after the video outro, and sometimes we get distracted by food or sleep and several days go by (this one was the latter haha). Anyways, in this Aftershow we talk about

-The related idea...

Back to Resin Pencils

Hey guys! Have another update on the resin pencils to share with you. With some help from vegetable-oil filled syringes... we got the pencils out of the mold! Despite forgetting mold release! Not gonna lie though, we were worried there before we t...

Magic Broccoli Aftershow!

We didn't know if this would be a second or main channel video up until 40 minutes before we posted haha, so we didn't initially record an aftershow. Since it ended up on the main channel though we wanted to record one and we had some thoughts aro...

Oops... we forgot something

So we got the pencils into the silicone buttttt we forgot to spray them with mold release. Even though we brought it to the workbench and specifically told each other not to forget it. *insert facepalm emoji here* By the time we realized, it was t...

Next project: Resin Pencils!

Hey guys! Wanted to share the next project we started working on - we're making pencils out of resin! Evan 3D printed a moldbox with a fancy top that should allow us to pour silicone into the box and then lower the pencils in, suspending them.

Testing Life Hacks Aftershow

Hey everyone! Wanted to share this week's aftershow, which we filmed after doing the entire video in an evening so we were a little excited and scattered haha. We talk about: 

- Why we hadn't planned on making this a video
- Our bigg...

What we've been up to (Mini Vlog 22)

Just a "nice casual" video... evidently turns out to mean a shaky camera, sorry about that, but we didn't want that to hold us back from making a quick video to show you some of what we've been up to -E

DIY Life Hacks - revealed!

Hey guys! So like we mentioned in the last post about our upcoming DIY hacks video, Evan was looking for hacks that would actually work when he went into ...

DIY Life Hack Tests

Hey guys! 

So as y'all know (Evan mentioned it a couple posts ago) we started working with TikTok to post DIY/science-related content there (which is awesome because that's what we were doing anyway!) And we thought testing little DIY l...

Resin Key Aftershow

Hey guys! Excited to share today's Aftershow, we cover:

- How we almost failed the test but got lucky
- Thumbnail struggles
- Project difficulty vs views
- Worries about ruining the big finale!
- Behind the scenes of planning thi...

Thumbnail Preference?

Hey guys! We're debating what thumbnail we should do for the resin key and I'm curious about two things: 1) which one would catch your eye/make you click? and 2) if you didn't know who we were, which one would catch your eye/make you click? We're ...

It worked!.. kind of

When we first took the keys out of the mold, they looked so great! Absolutely love that silicone putty now, definitely using that again in the future. We knew the end would be ugly because of how we filled it... but one thing we did not expect: th...
