We have fur! And a head!
That’s a weird title if you don’t already have context for the Furby Robot we’re building! In the last update we shared some progress, ending with some fur we bought. Well we have some updates for you starting with the fur. We are applying it by using the cosplay pattern making trick of making...
Progress on the robot project!
There’s been lots of (somewhat disjointed) progress being made on the robotic dog Furby project so we thought we’d update you! First off, we decided on which form factor we want the Furby to take and we went with the “centaur” version (or as I think of him… the llama). This form should not...
Expanding our robot army…
Evan is expanding our robot army, but this time it’s not a 3D printer or laser… it’s a robot dog. Like one of those walking, kinda creepy, robot dogs. He found a pretty “cheap” one, and his original idea was to turn it into a furry cat-like companion for Joob. Well, we quickly realized tha...
Update on Evan’s Back! (Mini Vlog 72)
Just wanted to give everyone a positive update about Evan's back issues! :)
We made another weird rice krispies treat…
And this time it involves a popular salty snack… Takis! Neither of us had actually tried Takis in forever and wow those things pack a flavor punch. They’re like quadruple=layered in flavor/salt dust. We actually made rice krispies with 3 different Takis flavors: Fuego (the red one), Blue Heat (t...
4-Week Update on the Preserved Rose in Resin! (Resin Rose Aftershow)
We discover a crack in the glass!!!! We also cover: Why we didn't go with a Buy vs. DIY format at the beginning/thumbnail How we didn’t actually realize we couldn’t check on the rose til we put it in the pressure pot Our worries about leaving it too long or too short The debate of whether or...
Our studio is getting a sound improvement! (Mini Vlog #71)
Evan tech time!
We hit some snags with our rose project
Hey y’all! We wanted to update you on the resin rose because we hit some snags. First off, we tried to CNC a hole in the base so we could insert a light, and the hole was so off center that it busted through a thin edge of the particle board base… whoops. Honestly though I think it’ll be ok si...
We’re trying cheap vs expensive kits for my favorite fancy drink…
Y’all may not know this about me, but I’ve been in my boba tea era and I don’t think it’s ending any time soon. So we thought it’d be fun to do a second channel video where we try making it ourselves for the first time using a cheap kit and an expensive kit! Because buying boba is usually ...
Evan broke something… (Resin Computer Aftershow)
RIP to the project Evan breaks partway through. Anyways, in this Aftershow we cover: Other ways we thought about making a “resin” computer Our original design (e-waste) Thoughts on assembly cubes and how we could use those in the future The true extent of Katelyn’s silicone fiasco How much har...
We’re attempting to preserve something else in resin…
Hey ya’ll! So after Chunk 1 and Chunk 2 last October, we started brainstorming other fun things to try preserving in resin (although admittedly, we wanted a break from pumpkins specifically after that haha!) And an idea we thought of was recreating the Beauty and the Beast rose, but instead of pre...
*SPOILER* The computer project is complete!
For those who want to see how the resin computer project turned out, we’ve got final shots for you! Though I will admit, when we first demolded our resin computer panels we feared they kinda looked like a preteen girl’s art project.But once we demolded all 8 pieces and started assembling them, t...
This video almost didn’t happen… (Giant Candle Jar Aftershow)
Hey guys! So many of y’all may have already seen the video on Safiya Nygaard’s channel where we made a giant franken yankee candle together. First off I have to say, we had SUCH a good time hanging out and working on this with Safiya, Tyler, and their team. And I’m glad we can finally talk abo...
I messed up, but we got the resin started!
Sooo I was doing the silicone pour for the second batch of silicone molds for the resin computer case we’re making, and I committed a cardinal silicone sin. See, when you’re pouring your mixed part A and part B silicone from your bucket, you don’t scrape the sides because there might be unmixe...
So many molds!
Wanted to update y’all on how the resin computer is going! I mentioned in the last post that Evan made a custom shelf for our big pressure pot (Max) and the reason for that is because we have a LOT of molds to make… 8 to be exact! We disassembled the computer (which was a bit more nerve wracking...
Evan got the procedure (Mini Vlog 70)
Sorry, my mic was off during the mini vlog so my audio isn’t great! But Evan does most the important talking anyway
We are making a custom computer case!
We've been wanting to make a custom computer case for soooooo long. Our original idea was making one out of resin of course, but we didn't have much planned beyond that. So we started the hunt for a computer with a case we could disassemble and make molds of.But then we had to figure out wha...
So… we made more thick beverages for our second channel 😀
Over 1 year ago we made thick coffee (by mixing ThickIt into coffee) and I thought to myself, wow this is bad, why did we do this?! Well, time does weird things to your memories because I started thinking I really wanted to make another drink THICK. Evan and I were brainstorming and we decided to tr...
Why Katelyn was so nervous to film this… (Mixing Makeup in Resin Aftershow) ✅
In this Aftershow we cover... Why we chose this video idea in particular for our collab Things we considered mixing in but ended up cutting How nervous we were beforehand How it was filming with Safiya Our thoughts on having a camera person Expectations vs reality on each makeup item Which was our f...
Evan’s back is not ok (Mini Vlog 69)
Hey guys, we wanted to share an update about how Evan is doing. I know we’ve alluded to it in some posts and streams, but we really haven’t talked about the extent of it much or how it’s affected so many things. It started mid October, right before TwitchCon, and at first we thought it was a m...
Which tool is the worst? (Worst Amazon Tools Aftershow)
This was a fun and chill video to film! In this Aftershow we talk about… How many tools Evan found (and why we didn’t test all of them) Ks expectation vs reality Our worry about what people might say (that we didn't try hard enough) Most surprising rool Favorite tool Least favorite tool Most...
How did the makeup in resin turn out?
Hey guys! Wanted to share an update on *one* of the projects we did with Safiya, the one for our channel (we're keeping the one we did for her channel hush hush for now). So if y'all saw our last post about this, we brought a bunch of resin and makeup to her studio so we could test mixing ma...
Evan Bought the Worst Rated Tools Amazon
Why did we do this? Mostly for fun. We thought it would be fun to buy and test, and probably roast, some terribly rated products (kinda like when we test life hacks!) I have no idea how many Evan bought but he said he may have gone overboard so I’m scared haha. I’ve been banned from opening Amaz...
Yep, we’re doing a collab with Safiya Nygaard!
If you didn’t see the post on social media, we wanted to share here too and give some more details! Now the main reason we’re here is still a bit hush hush, all we can say is it’s their BIG final project of the year and we are building some stuff to make it happen :) The video will be out towa...
We’re releasing a video that started March 2022
Wow, this video has been a long time in the making! It all started back in March of 2022, when my dad and brother pranked me by hiding a piece of onion in my pillowcase. Our bedroom smelled like onion for DAYS and by the time I discovered it, the onion stank had sunk through the pillowcase, sheets, ...
Katelyn has a confession (Custom Butt Stools Aftershow)
Hey guys! This was such a fun project to do, but it came with its twists and turns too. In this Aftershow we talk about: How long this video has been on our to do list Why we finally did it Our original plan vs what we actually did Fear that the projects were a failure How long it took something thi...
We molded our butts
Hey guys! So we made/crushed a ton of flakes/chips, and it was finally time to mix together the terrazzo for our butt stools! Which turns out is a ridiculous amount of material for the 2 giant molds we’re using. It looks like a bucket of ice cream btw.Sitting on a big mold full of wet material fel...
FILMING IN PUBLIC (Bad DIY Ideas 2 Aftershow)
In this Aftershow we talk about... Quantity vs Quality of bad ideas How the hammer shoes plates held up Katelyn’s surprise soreness What do we do with 50 laces??? Why we thought the resin clothing might work Thoughts on filming in public Why we almost gave up on finding shoesHope y'all have a ...
We’re making more of your bad DIY ideas…
Hey guys! We’re finally doing part 2 of a series we’ve been wanting to continue since… wow since a year ago. We’re gonna try making more of your “bad” DIY ideas! There were so many ideas submitted last time that we wanted to tackle but didn’t have time for, so we’re doing them now :)...
