Hey guys! Been way too long since we did a mini vlog, so this actually ended up being a BIG mini vlog (17+ minutes!)
One thing we mentioned is we are trying to figure out what to do with the little video we filmed about prototyping the knife handle for our collab with Alec Steele. We're exporting the rough cut right now and we'll share that in a separate post in a few!

I wish you all could have been there, it was so much fun, but for those who missed it we wanted to share our talk with y'all. Also don't worry too much about missing slides, they were really just pictures of us and words:
But I am particularly proud of the Photoshop job I did ...

Hi everyone!! Had such a blast in Atlanta at WorkbenchCon. Sharon from Figments Made was nice enough to record our talk. We're cleaning it up and are thinking of adding a little intro and outro but should have it up soon :D

Wanted to send you a bonus goodie for supporting us and simultaneously ask for your advice. This is our first set of plans for something that will be made on a CNC and we're not 100% confident in them. When you're instructing people on how to build a certain thing with known materials it's a bit easier (for example, a bookcase from 1"x12" standard lumber that is 6' tall, 1' deep, and 4' wide). When your design is based around a slab, which can vary in size, and it relies on any number of CNC mac...

Hey everyone! What would y'all think about seeing what a rough cut for us is like? Instead of editing the pieces together scene by scene as we go, we're trying a new method of gathering all the raw footage and then crafting the final video from that. Our thought is that this will speed the editing up, and one day we could get an editor to take it to this point, where we'll pick up the project and add our finishing touches to.
Katelyn has edited this one till around the 3 minute mark. Beyond th...

We get really excited for aftershows. Love you guys! Included our original nixed design idea, and added some footage (that didn't make it into the video) that involves sparks and smoke :D

We wanted to give you guys a sneak peek of the bench and of the awesome photo and video shoot we had at the park! Took us a while because it was really hard to capture how cool this texture is but I think we got it:
I think we're going to call this the "ripple bench" because it really reminds us of rain falling in a puddle and causing a whole bunch of ripples :)

Tried something a little different with this aftershow- started it mid-video with some behind the scenes extras while we set up our final shots (and battled jam and cheese juice). Hope y'all like it!

Hi guys, Evan here! So a little known thing about me is that a little bit ago I started suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is basically where I get dizzy every now and then but to a degree that it's hard to move around and do stuff. Today is one of those days, so instead of going into work or working on a video we're going to try and make some progress on the podcast wooo!! Here is basically how far we've gotten:
Things we're adding already, cat shenanigans, and showing some love for Ikea because we love Ikea haha

Lots to share about ORD Camp and we also want your feedback on project ideas for our upcoming collab with Bob! PS- Modular Desk Aftershow coming soon :)
2018-01-24 23:03:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys!!! We're in Chicago right now at this conference like thing called ORD camp. We will probably have to recover from this (the event is actually scheduled to go to on to 6AM tomorrow) but once we're no longer zombies we'll be posting an aftershow and vlog about all this which I think should be pretty interesting. Sorry for the delay on extra content and for going MIA for a bit on socials!

Hi guys! We got our rings and pendants in and had SO much fun taking photos of them because they looked so dang good. We just had to share a sneak peek with y'all:

Hey guys! So we don't usually post videos here before publishing them on YouTube (usually because we are working on them up until the last second.. haha!) but we're down to the almost-final edit for our Fusion 360 for CNC video and we were hoping we could get your thoughts on it. Is it easy to follow along, is it too fast, etc. The music and audio still needs tweaking for sure and everything needs polish but we'll get working on that now.
We know not everyone here is the target market, and we'...

Hey guys! Just wanted to check in and say hi and give a few quick updates :D
1) We're finally finishing up our last West Elm order!! WOOOO!! Honestly still have mixed feelings about balancing video production vs product manufacturing but we think it's good to keep a foot in the game.
2) Since we weren't with Mochi during xmas we wanted to share a quick photo of her in her favorite place during t...

Previews, behind the scenes of project snags, and presents we're making! Hope you guys are having a relaxing (and not hectic) time leading up to the holidays! Who's visiting family and who's hosting at their place this year? We're heading to Katelyn's family's house and then doing a post-Christmas Christmas with my family. We alternate every other year and have only hosted once at our house, which is probably good since right now we've got light kits in the dining room, the box our tree came in ...

Planning to launch our next video tomorrow so thought we'd give y'all a sneak peek at it, talk about upcoming projects, and go for a walk together :D
Also, here is a picture we reference in the mini vlog:
Hey y'all! We've never done a shop tour before, so we thought we'd share one! Threw in a project update too :)
2017-12-09 22:52:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all, just heard about how Patreon is changing the way they do fees. They used to take service fees from the creator side of things (which seemed to be working fine for everybody), but now they're putting the service fee on the patrons (2.9% +$0.35 per transaction). There's a lot of creator push back on this, but we aren't sure what's gonna end up happening. You guys are a huge part of why we are able to do what we do, so if you're considering leaving, please let us know and we'll try to fi...

Thanks for the support yall! Here's some bonus cat time, our thoughts on the project, and trying to be energetic while sick 🤧
A few of y'all wanted the 3d model for our propane cannon and I finally am getting caught up on our to do list but I'm excited to share it with y'all! Hopefully we can start working on version 2 soon since we got SO many ideas. We have a google document with them all organized which makes us happy :D

Hey y'all! It's after show time! Hope you're still liking this whole afters how thing, and if you have any questions that we didn't cover just ask and we'll let you know! Questions don't have to be project related. Maybe you're just wondering if it's too early to start wearing Christmas socks. And the answer is no, it's never too early :)

So excited to share our FIRST aftershow!! WOOO.
This is a new think we're adding to $5 and up patrons where after each video we'll talk about behind the scene stuff, things that didn't make it into the video, etc. We plan to do this for any video that makes sense (pretty much all of them)
And we want to hear what you guys think of it! What types of stuff would you like for us to cover in these videos?
p.s. if you haven't seen our latest video, the aftershow will make more sense aft...
