…And this time, it’s a sword! We’ve wanted to make a resin sword for a really long time, but we’ve been intimidated by a couple big things: 1) the thought of making a silicone mold of a sword, and 2) not having a pressure pot we could fit a sword into.
Well, we finally found a sword we could buy that could be di...

We really thought this would be more simple… ha! In this Aftershow we cover:
We finished the water marble keyboard video (it’ll go live in a few days) but there were SO many lessons learned that we wanted to share them with you guys in case anyone else wants to try this! Admittedly, it’ll make more sense after you watch the video so you might wanna revisit this on Friday if you’re interested in ...

We finally finished dipping the water marble keyboard! This ended up being a MUCH bigger project than expected due to the seemingly endless small scale tests (we did even more after the last post!) But we’re really happy with how our final dips turned out.
So if you want a little sneaky peeky preview, here’s how the...

Usually when we do small scale tests, we get hands-on practice in a low pressure way, we test several variables, and end the small scale tests feeling like we’ve learned something and are somewhat more prepared to go full-scale.
That has not been the case for our water marble keyboard haha. We tested a BUNCH of variab...

Hey guys! For our next video we’re gonna try to water marble an entire keyboard! Have we gone keyboard crazy? Maybe. Keyboards are just such a fun blank canvas, and it’s like “functional art” when you’re done with them (well semi-functional… I’m looking at you velvet keyboard…)

Melting glass in the microwave is simultaneously difficult and easy haha. On one hand, the microwave does a lot of the work. But on the other hand, you really have to give up control over how you envision your final piece! Which is difficult for me, as a perfectionist…
For my piece I thought I’d start with something...

So this is something we've been working on in the background for a while (and is still very much a test) but one of our videos now has Spanish Dubs! We started with our world's biggest laptop video here: https://youtu.be/uUVfHaW6nWs.

Evan found a “microwave kiln” that lets you MELT GLASS in your microwave. What?!? YES this is a thing. And it can melt glass to 1600 degrees F!
And yes, we tried it and it works!

We really need some larger/more reliable art stands… In this Aftershow we talk about:
It feels like so much was leading up to this moment!!!! Our *hope* going into it was that all the hard parts were over. That only proved to be partially true haha. Yes, I think making the design and translating that into a physical “outline” for our resin was the most difficult part, but at the same time this resin portio...

We were able to separate the thin acrylic outlines without breaking anything!!!! In retrospect, we totally should have added some cuts to the “solid” pieces we were pulling out so make this step easier (that might make more sense when you’re watching the video). But hey, it’s done!

So first off, we just got back from VidCon and we had SUCH a good time! We got to meet some of you guys at our meet & greet and talks which was so nice, we also got to meet a lot of other creators that we are fans of! It was super fun and exhausting, and now we are glad to be home with our Joob!

We go off on a tangent in this Aftershow and rank all our cat projects in a tier list (based on how much Joob liked them, and how much we enjoyed building them). In this Aftershow we also cover:
Did y’all ever do paint-by-numbers growing up? Well we got to thinking about them recently and had the thought “what if we could do a paint-by-numbers… with RESIN!?” We figured we could laser cut some clear acrylic to make individual “cells” that we could pour colored resin into, after making a design and a color ...

Hey guys! We did a SECOND Joobie project, on the second channel! We tried making her some DIY cat treats. (We were careful about cat-safe ingredients and all that). We tried one baked treat, one blended treat, and what liquid treat, just to have a little variety.

No, we didn’t switch gears and decide to make a giant lollipop. That’s progress on Joob’s cat ball! We used PVC to build the ball onto and we hot glued the layers together… and well hot glue has thickness so the ball ended up being more of an egg. But that’s ok, right? Heh heh…

This project has been MONTHS in the making, so let’s talk through some of the behind the scenes stuff! In this Aftershow we cover:
Hey guys! It’s been forever since we did a “Buy vs DIY” video (if you’re new to the channel, it’s where we try making a product we’ve seen, but also buy the product, open it at the end, and see how our “DIY compares to the “buy”). Specifically, we’re gonna try to make this cat toy/scratcher/ball thing… 2023-05-21 18:13:04 +0000 UTC View Post

We were sooooo confident about how quickly we were moving through this project. Last time we checked in with y’all, we had completed all the keys except the white letter keys, meaning we were almost done. Then we thought maybe we’ll just *test* carve a few on the CNC and see how they look with letters and numbers engraved...

Roasting 5 minute hacks… will we ever get tired of it? I certainly hope not because Katelyn and I have SO much fun seeing if what is shown in these strange videos matches with reality AT all. We thought it would be fun to tackle soap hacks so I led the charge and found 5 projects that were intriguing.

I had to look it up, our last update on this project was in early December, shortly after we filmed it, and at the time I was like “yeah hopefully it’ll be edited by Q1 hahaha" Is it still Q1? I think it might be Q2 now…
We had so many existing 2nd channel videos on the docket for our editors so this one got put o...
