Hey guys! So I don't want to get anyone's hopes up because what I'm about to show you is in the VERY early stages and it may not even happen, but we wanted to get your input. We're talking to a company about making custom little plushies of the 2 of us and of course, Joob. What do you guys think of our initial mockups?? The g...

Here's the transparent monitor after taking it apart! WE DIDN'T BREAK IT π It was much more stressful than expected, even though I went into it thinking it would be a pretty chill project haha π But it's a pretty delicate operation, especially since we've never done it before and didn't quite have a feel for it. Next up...

Hey guys! So this week's project is VERY different for us... we're gonna make a transparent monitor! It's not the most practical thing necessarily, but it sometimes coolness is a higher priority than practicality haha. So we're basically taking apart a monitor, extracting the parts we need, and building a new wooden frame/sta...

"Welcome to our backyard wedding set up! I now pronounce you Evan and Katelyn. You may now kiss the spin art." Woooo our backyard is all ready to spin! We have no clue how violent the paint spray will be, but we underestimated it during our "painting denim jackets with an air cannon" video (our wall is still splattered) so we...

As we mentioned in the last post about our drill-powered spin art, we don't plan on only doing little canvases. So we made a rig to spin a BIG canvas as a "grand finale" piece. It's terrifying. But... it DOES seem to work!

This week is a buffer week, but we wanted to share what we're working on for the next video... drill powered spin art! It's something we've been tagged in a few times and we thought we'd try our hand at it. Can you believe it's been over a year and a half since our last spin art video (2020-09-29 14:56:18 +0000 UTC View Post
Was so hard to stop iterating for this project but also we didn't want to drag it out :P Hope everyone has a great upcoming weekend! Check out the aftershow for:

- Thoughts on UV resin

Hey guys! I know not everyone on Patreon watches the gaming stuff, but for the past almost 2 years we've been streaming, we've sat at the desk at an angle, looking off to the side to see our screen (so that the back of the monitor isn't in the camera frame). Ergonomics-wise, this wasn't great, even though I'm not really one t...

Welcome to the Aftershow of what was perhaps our most fun to film video ever! Hope everyone has an awesome Friday and weekend :) -Katelyn
- Expectations vs reality
- Our contingency plans
- How two video ideas were combined to make this one
- Our 2 secret movie magic moments
Since Friday's video is about my banana muffins, we thought we'd share the recipe early with y'all! The reason this recipe is unique is because the proportion of banana is higher than most other recipes I see - so it's really moist and really banana-y. But the other secret is that at the end I drizzle melted butter over all o...

Hey guys! Wanted to share what we're working on for the next project - we'll be trying to recreate our top-down resin ocean art with soap! Should be a fun, chill project after the long string of videos in August. It's been over a year since our last soap video so I'm excited to try it again. Plus we're gonna try some new mixi...

Hey guys! We're filming things a bit out of order again this month for logistical reasons, so we're working on a BUY vs DIY that'll be live at the end of September and we wanted to get your feedback! For this one, we tried to recreate an opal popsocket.

Good morning! Just wanted to pop in with a little update post. We just completed 5 weeks of videos in a row (our longest period without a buffer week since late 2019) and we feel accomplished and sleepy haha. We typically try to give ourselves a little more breathing room. For several months now (excluding this chunk of video...

Hey guys! Super excited to publish the buy vs diy tomorrow. Honestly a huge reason we wanted to do this project was doing a life cast and it was just as gross and weird as I hoped.

Hey guys! Thank you everyone who gave input for our BUY vs DIY - that video is gonna go live this Friday! Even though y'all have already seen our end result, I thought it'd be fun to share a little behind the scenes stuff. Specifically, how we had to cut a bunch of footage from this video because of a huge detour.
Hey guys! We had so much fun doing science adjacent cooking. Felt like a good mix between our typical content and our cooking videos. In this Aftershow we cover:
- How we plan to attempt this again (note: still not sure if we'll actually do it live)
- Was it worth it?
- Thoughts on filming/editing a project ...

Y'all have seen us make recipes we make all the time and are good at, but we thought it might be interesting to try cooking something we have never done before and is a bit complicated: CHEESE! Specifically Mozzarella :) Any guessed as to how it went on a scale of delicious restaurant quality to inedible unrecognizable lumps?...

- What we would change if we did it again
