- how experimentation videos are hard
- what got cut from the video
So for the next video we had some fun just messing around with lots of new things - our new vacuum former, combining resin with concrete, and using potatoes to make molds which was way more fun and hilarious to us than it probably should have been haha. Hoping to release this one Tuesday but it depends on when we hear back from ...

Most of the work has been in the planning and framing. I think by the time we get to the actual trim pieces it should be easy peasy to pop em on. **knocks on wood**

Hi y'all!! With our collab trip to visit David Picciuto coming up we're scrambling to work ahead so we can keep up with our release schedule while we're away and so far... so good!

Ever have a project where you're excited about the end result but the process is kinda... boring? That's our Murphy bed project (what we're working on right now / the project that will be our next video). It's a lot of dowels, a lot of pocket holes, a lot of painting... I mean, it's not hard but it's repetitive. I think after co...

In the comments of the resin geode table, many people are suggesting that we do a resin coffee table and integrate wood into the project. Well now only you guys know what's coming up this Friday :D

Dang, home reno projects are a lot of work! We just wrapped up our laundry room renovation that we teased on Instagram today. We're actually what one might consider to be SUPER ahead on videos (like 1.5 weeks ahead!) Except we're not because we actually have 6 videos being published this month so we're actually behind, despite b...

Wow, this is our 30th aftershow, that's crazy! Some things in this one...
-Upcoming video teasers because this is building up to a bigger project
-So many resin ideas
-Giving tips before we're experts at things
-Lost footage :(
-Change in outros
It's amazing y'all! Can't wait to share this Friday's video with you. We're already onto our second resin project and are planning our third it is SO addictive. It's a bit chaotic in the moment but that's part of the fun!
This is a video that's been in the works for a LONG TIME. Once we started filming it was quick to film, but lots of research, lots of chatting with Inventables and Lars Christensen from Autodesk, lots of ordering aluminum and then ordering more aluminum because we got the wrong stuff... hahaha

Whew! I think this Maker Faire may have been our craziest yet. We got to meet/hang out with so many of you guys, so many other creators, and see so many awesome things. Our brains are still spinning, which might explain why this post is going to be more of a brain dump than anything coherent
We found a giant Totoro. It was awe...
