The Art of Crafting with Evan and Katelyn

So, we're gonna cover it with some velvet.Now, do new one, do a new throw.(dice clattering)Slightly better.(Evan laughing)Slightly better!Do, should we test to see if these actually-(thunder booming)No, after we attach the velvet.You're, you just want it to be dramatic.Yeah.And, instead of busting out our old faithful flocking compound, there's adhesive velvet.Adhesive velvet.And I think we shall try that today.So, you designed the space to be Exact.Exact width of the sheet, so we have zero wiggle room, right?Yeah, yeah.(dramatic music)(Evan humming dramatically)I don't need the B-roll right now, I just get to like move.(laughing) Don't make me laugh.(dramatic music)(Evan humming dramatically)Imagine the dramatic music.Oh god, I don't want to remake this box.We'll just peel it off.I guess we could just peel it off.I don't know how sticky it is.EVAN: I'm just gonna capture this face of concentration.(Katelyn gasping)(dramatic music)It's stuck on my hand, it's stuck on my hand.(Evan laughing)No!(Evan laughing)(laughing) I gotta pull an Evan and get low.(both laughing)This is what you do to, like, cut vegetables in the kitchen.(laughing) Like this.You gotta do the Evan Stance.EVAN: Don't hurt my back.(dramatic music)(Katelyn gasping)EVAN: Hey, is that great?Yeah.Alright, cool.Okay.Alright.(both laughing)What are you cutting it for?Nothing.(scissors snipping)Are you chaos-ing?No.I'm not gonna look 'cause I know you're up to something, and I wanna be surprised.(scissors snipping)EVAN: (laughing) You keep on stopping and then starting again.KATELYN: I need to complete my project.EVAN: I thought I was completing our project.KATELYN: No, that's the side project now.EVAN: (laughing) I think I'm done, you ready?Yeah.(tray clattering)(Katelyn gasping)Wow.Oh my god.(both laughing)(romantic music)Wow, you're beautiful.Beautiful.(both laughing)I kissed your mustache right off!Which one did you do first?The mustache.Mustache?I like the goatee down there.And then the unibrow.You wanna tell them about your design?(paper ripping)Yes.(Evan laughing)So, for the side panels, I, of course, wanted a Joobface as the centerpiece.Then I drew a simple border and popped in some little stars.We thought it'd be nice to have two alternating panel designs, so for the next one, I continued the star theme with a sun and some moons.And then I thought, hey, I can turn these moons into an E and a K, kind of.So I did that, added some more stars in a matching border, and then they were ready for engraving.(air whooshing)(upbeat music)EVAN: Look at the little Joobie!Oh, Joobie!She is emerging.KATELYN: Yes.(upbeat country music)Wow. Your vision came together, that is so cool.I know.Oh my gosh.Ah!Little Joob!It works - The way the stars continue, that's what I was hoping.Oh, the walnut does look so nice.EVAN: Yes.KATELYN: With the darker engraving.EVAN: Oh, it's already so glossy.KATELYN: (gasping) Her little whiskers.Oh!Oh my gosh.And she almost looks fuzzy too, in the little scorched area.Yeah.Yeah, we got to make it exactly what we wanted.(hands slapping)Yes.(Katelyn applauding)Right, let's glue 'em on.(upbeat country music)

So there's one thing that I just realized we actually almost forgot to do.I ran,(suspenseful music) you sounded urgent, I ran.So there's something that I just realized we almost forgot to do.Okay, I'm assuming it has to do with the tray.Oh, test roll it?(Evan laughing)Oh god.I thought we were going to have to, like, start over.(Evan laughing)You just wanna do a test roll?Yeah!(Evan laughing)I ran,I ran from the office, and then you said, "Let's test roll it."(tray clattering)(Katelyn gasping)Wow.Oh my god.(both laughing)

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(upbeat music)BOTH: Hi.(Evan laughing)So, this is a grainof rice for a scale,and this is a wireless LED,and today we'regonna be embeddingthese wireless LEDsinto resin dice.Because how cool would it beto have a resin dice thatdoesn't have a charger?(camera thudding)Whoa. (laughing)It doesn't have any batteries,and when you throw it,(dice clattering)it lights up when it lands.Oh my gosh, I need to move this.(Evan laughing)I'm going to knockthe camera off, I'm too excited.How do these wireless LEDs work?What is this?(clothes shuffling)♪ Beyblade, Beyblade ♪♪ Science Adjacentwith Evan and Katelyn ♪♪ Yeah ♪(electronic dinging)So, electricity runsthrough these copper coils,which creates a magneticfield around the copper coil.And, when these LEDs arewithin that magnetic field,the coil on the LED picksup on that magnetic fieldand generates a current,which powers the LED.Yeah, so it's essentiallywirelessly powered,much like many things youmight have in your home.Wireless earbuds, electronictoothbrushes, phone chargers.Now, obviously thiscoil is requiredin order to make the lightsglow and our dice work,but that's not very pretty.So, in addition tomaking the resin dice,we also have to makea specialty trayin which we embedthe copper coil.(Evan laughing)Feeling intimidated?(laughing) Yeah, I'mfeeling intimidating.I don't know which one'sgonna be the bigger project.We actually have 100, we haveover 100 of these tiny LEDs,but we don't wannawaste any of them,because we don't even knowif they work in resin yet.So, we're gonna doa small scale test.We're gonna put one of thesein resin and see if it works.And, hopefully it does,because, ultimately,we wanna stuff as many as we caninto these dice.Yeah, yeah.Uh, like, 100 of them.We have 100.So, for this test, wecould just drop the LED in.But, an issue that we'regonna come up againstwhen we do the final one,is that we want ourdice to be balanced.So why not test how we'regonna suspend things too?Yeah, now I don'twant subject you guysto the entire journey(scary music)that I went on.(person screaming)It was a long journey.(Evan laughing)My initial idea wasto take a toothpick,create a mold fromthat toothpick,and then make a resin toothpick.So that we could suspendthe LEDs with resin.Yeah.Once more resinis around it, it wouldessentially disappear,and it would be, like, sand-ableand polishable at the end.So I did all of that, andthen, after all's done,I realized that we havethese perfectly clear,really hard sticks-Oh my god.That are from the fixturethat I tried to makewhen we had made clear wood.And since we-Oh yeah!Since we keep everything,we already have these!I wasted hours!I'm sorry for your loss.It's okay, it's okay. (laughing)This is betterthan that anyways.I made these littlestands right here.You put the mold right here,we'll attach the LED here,and then lower it down.Look at that!To that perfect height, ugh!And then it'll just holdit there while it cures.Yeah!I feel like it should work.I feel like it should work.In terms of suspending it.We'll see.Yeah, okay, wait, wait.Now, I have a question.Yes.We're alreadytesting two things.Oh no.Should we throw in a third testand add some colorsto see, you know,how sheer the resin needs to be,or how opaque it can be forthe light to come through?I think we should, youknow, I love efficiency.Yeah.Let's do it.Okay, yes.What, my knees arehurtin'. (laughing)Yeah, I'm surprisedyou made it that long.Ow, ow. (grunting)(static crackling)(upbeat music)♪ Resin time, resin time ♪♪ Do, do, do, do, resin time ♪EVAN: All right, sowe're gonna use UV reinto hold it down, cookit on the barbie.So, we're gonnatry to color thesewith the tiniest, tiniestamount of alcohol ink,because it's translucent,but we still wannato have some sparkle.Evan found this super fineliquid iridescent glitter.Yeah, and that'sespecially important,'cause the finer theglitter, the less they sink.KATELYN: Yeah, let's getas little as possible.EVAN: All right, neat.Oh yeah, is thateven too little?KATELYN: The reason we dropit on the popsicle sticksis 'cause you can't doless than a drop otherwise,so it kind of letssome of it absorb.Yeah, when we mixmore epoxy later,when we're doing multiple dice,it's gonna be a lot easierto control per drop.Yeah, okay.Yeah.KATELYN: I think thatlooks pretty good.Yeah.(bottle tapping desk)I help.KATELYN: Oh, that onemight just be a one dipper.Ooh, geez, it got dark.EVAN: Man, that's dark.Now, how much do you thinkI should add of this?Four drops.Four.All the glitter.KATELYN: One, two, three, four.We'll do six.Yeah, that's nice.EVAN: Oh yeah, I see it.KATELYN: Very nice,very subtle glitter.EVAN: Yeah.KATELYN: But again,that's what we want.We don't want itto block the light,we don't want it to sink.EVAN: It'll be agood first test.KATELYN: Yeah.EVAN: All right.KATELYN: Cotton candy.EVAN: That's delicious.KATELYN: I know, okay,that's about full.Let's move these outta the way.Bringing the guillotine in.The guillotine?(dramatic music)Okay.(upbeat music)Can you kind of seelike the heightof it from there?EVAN: I thought I would.KATELYN: We need a light.Can you see it?Yeah, when it moves.EVAN: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.You can see it, you can see it.KATELYN: Yeah.I don't wanna itcentered, I want itwhere it would be ifthere were 20 of 'em.So, push it down lower-Oh!EVAN: So it's on that, like,kind of closer to the face.Yeah, like a littlebit right there.KATELYN: Okay.EVAN: I think that's good.Yeah, why don't you fill it upwith like a littlebit more resin?Yeah, one squirt.EVAN: I think that's,I think that's it.Okay.Let's put it in, intothe darkness with you.(metal clanking)Hi guys.(exciting music)There you go!(gloves snapping)We'll see you guys tomorrow.Oh yeah, that was a nice day.I know.(Katelyn grunting)(laughing) I really, Ishouldn't take this off yet.(upbeat music)(air whooshing)(relaxing music)(air whooshing)I wanted my luxurious hairto be blowing in the wind.(relaxing music)(record warping)There you go. (laughing)Thanks.All right.(tool thudding on desk)Look at how much theresin reservoir fell.KATELYN: I know, it was full.Yeah.I wonder if we're evengonna have a void.You need some helpbirthing it? (laughing)(groaning) Ugh!Ah!(Evan laughing)Durability test!All right, so we're not gonnalike fully clean this up.Let's just do like a quicksnip snip right here.Now, the LEDis right there, yeah.I see, I see it.Okay, we kind of pointed itat the generally right location.Yeah.Now the glitter,awesome.Yeah, the glitterlooks fabulous.It looks so pretty,look at that glitter.Wow, ooh, mm, mwah, wow!The super fineglitter is very nice.It's on.Okay.You ready?Yeah.(gasping) Yeah.Oh, 100%.Yes!Okay.EVAN: It's not centered.KATELYN: Even on thetop, because that's,you know, farther from the coil.I was worried that it mightbe too tall, you know?EVAN: Yeah, that is cool.This is making me think thatgetting everythingplaced perfectlyis gonna be difficult.I know that's a, maybe abridge we'll cross later.We're still waiting onsome supplies to come in.So, I think we should move onto the next part of the project.Yeah.(upbeat music)BOTH: The tray.So for the tray, we're thinkingabout something like this.So, we wanna make thewalls out of walnut,and I'm gonna design a coolengraving we can do around it.But within that,(exciting music)we're gonna have a compartmentthat can house the coil.(laughing) Yeah.And the coil bits,like, how are those actually-I'm thinking wejust kind of like,just like,(grunting) just bend it.Just bending it right now?Hopefully it didn'tbreak! (laughing)Well, do we have a light?Wait.Oh no.(Evan laughing)Okay.We're good.So it should fitin the compartment.Yeah.KATELYN: So, we turnto our Glowforgefor some laser cutting.(upbeat music)(electronic upbeat music)(laughing) He he silly.What a silly baby.Katelyn doesn't realizeher mic's on, I can hear you.(both laughing)Yeah, Joobie snuckinto the craft closet.It's a, like, it's okay!But, it's a little bit plain.And also.(dice clattering)BOTH: Oh!(dice clattering)Oh!Oh!What a terrible noise!So, we're gonna coverit with some velvet.Now, do new one, do a new throw.(dice clattering)Slightly better.(Evan laughing)Slightly better!Do, should we test tosee if these actually-(thunder booming)No, after weattach the velvet.You're, you just wantit to be dramatic.Yeah.And, instead of busting outour old faithfulflocking compound,there's adhesive velvet.Adhesive velvet.And I think we shalltry that today.So, you designedthe space to be-Exact.Exact widthof the sheet, so we havezero wiggle room, right?Yeah, yeah.(dramatic music)(Evan humming dramatically)I don't need the B-roll rightnow, I just get to like move.(laughing) Don't make me laugh.(dramatic music)(Evan humming dramatically)Imagine the dramatic music.Oh god, I don't wannahave to remake this box.We'll just peel it off.I guess we couldjust peel it off.I don't know how sticky it is.EVAN: I'm just gonna capturethis face of concentration.(Katelyn gasping)(dramatic music)It's stuck on my hand,it's stuck on my hand.(Evan laughing)No!(Evan laughing)(laughing) I gotta pullan Evan and get low.(both laughing)This is what you do to, like,cut vegetables in the kitchens.(laughing) Like this.You gotta do theEvan Stance.EVAN: Don't hurt my back.(dramatic music)(Katelyn gasping)EVAN: Hey, is that great?Yeah.Alright, cool.Okay.Alright.(both laughing)What are you cutting it for?Nothing.(scissors snipping)Are you chaos-ing?No.I'm not gonna look 'cause Iknow you're up to something,and I wanna be surprised.(scissors snipping)EVAN: (laughing)You keep on stoppingand then starting again.KATELYN: I need tocomplete my project.EVAN: I thought I'mcompleting our project.KATELYN: No, that'sthe side project now.EVAN: (laughing) I thinkI'm done, you ready?Yeah.(tray clattering)(Katelyn gasping)Wow.Oh my god.(both laughing)(romantic music)Wow, you're beautiful.Beautiful.(both laughing)I kissed yourmustache right off!Which one did you do first?The mustache.Mustache?I like the goatee down there.And then the unibrow.You wanna tell themabout your design?(paper ripping)Yes.(Evan laughing)So, for

they wereready for engraving.(air whooshing)(upbeat music)EVAN: Look at the little Joobie!Oh, Joobie!She is emerging.KATELYN: Yes.(upbeat country music)Wow.Your vision cametogether, that is so cool.I know.Oh my gosh.Ah!Little Joob!It works-The way the stars continue,that's what I was hoping.Oh, the walnutdoes look so nice.EVAN: Yes.KATELYN: With thedarker engraving.EVAN: Oh, it'salready so glossy.KATELYN: (gasping)Her little whiskers.Oh!Oh my gosh.And she almost looks fuzzy too,in the little scorched area.Yeah.Yeah, we got tomake it exactly what we wanted.(hands slapping)Yes.(Katelyn applauding)Right, let's glue 'em on.(upbeat country music)So there's one thingthat I just realizedwe actually almost forgot to do.I ran,(suspenseful music)you sounded urgent, I ran.So there's somethingthat I realizedwe almost forgot to do.Okay, I'm assuming ithas to do with the tray.Oh, test roll it?(Evan laughing)Oh god.I thought we were gonnahave to, like, start over.(Evan laughing)You just wanna do a test roll?Yeah!(Evan laughing)I ran,I ran from the office,and then you said, \"Weneed memory cards.\"I ran back and I ran back here.(laughing) It's not that bad!Okay, yeah.Yeah, I just wanted to do a testbefore we just makeall of the dice,and then, what ifsomething's wrong?Okay, ready?Throw it into the magic box.(dice clattering)(dramatic music)Uh-oh.Wait, is it on?No. (laughing)Okay, it's lit!Yay, yeah!Okay, wow, wow.Wow, wow, wow.I was definitely worried thatit wasn't gonna work, wow!It works.Okay.(dice clattering)Yay!(dice clattering)Yay!(dice clattering)Wow, look at that!We can move on to the next step.Let's make a wholebunch of these,with a whole bunch of LEDs.(footsteps thudding)(jaunty music)What you doing?Avoiding the next step.Because it's intimidating.(Evan laughing)EVAN: Come on, we got this.Sorry, Joobie, Katelynhas to get up now.Okay, is it allowed?JOOB: I allow.Okay, it's allowed.Thank you, very generous.(Evan laughing)(door latch clicking)So, ideally, for the final dice,we would have one LED per face,so that no matter howit rolls and lands,there'll be one LEDshining upwards at least.It sounds pretty simple,if you're just doinga six-sided die.Like, you can probablyorient them the right way.Yeah, just like kind ofhot glue themtogether or whatever,I don't know.Which, to be honest,was kind of my initial plan.But, it gets pretty complicatedwith the complex anglesof something likea 20 sided die or-Yeah, I want, themoment of victorythat I want at the end of this,I want to roll a 20 andI want that 20 to glow.So, we came up with an ideato orient the lightsin the right way.Make mini dice, glue a lightto every face of the mini dice,and then embed(paper crunching)that whole chunkinto a normal size dice.Yeah, that way it'sgonna match the shape.It's gonna be perfect,if it fits. (laughing)If it fits, thatis the struggle.One thought that we had froma design perspective is,we don't want to justembed a piece of resinthat's the same coloras what we're gonna castthe final dice in.It'd be cool if it wasdifferent, special, cool.(both laughing)And one cool materialthat we have is thisiridescent sheet.We've used it on this gem lamp.But I really like itwhen it's crumpled.'Cause these look like cool gemsor something like that, right?Yeah.So we're gonna stuff these.KATELYN: Into thesetiny, tiny dice molds.EVAN: Yeah, and thenyou just shove it in.Should we, I feellike we should maybedo a little bit ofresin in the mold,and then shove it in and thentop it off with more resin,'cause otherwise we're gonnahave air pockets down there.(Evan popping his lips)You're smart.Thank you.Let's do that.(upbeat music)This isn't UV resin,unfortunately.Wait, we should havejust done UV resin.KATELYN: Why didn'twe just do UV resin?EVAN: Why didn't wejust do UV resin?(Evan laughing)It's fine.(upbeat music)(metal clanking)(relaxing music)It was an ordinary daywhen suddenly disaster struck.(dramatic music)Oh no!(air whooshing)The cable!It's aggressive!(air whooshing)(items clattering)(dramatic music)(Katelyn thudding)I've fallen!(items clattering)(headphones swooshing)(sirens blaring)(explosion booming)(button clicking)(intense music)Events like thishappen every day to thosewith wired headphones.Protect yourselfand your loved ones,by getting a pairof wireless earbuds(gentle music)from our sponsor Raycon.EVAN: Raycon earbuds feel, look,and sound better than ever.(headphones swooshing)Their optimized(dramatic music)gel tips give youthe perfect fit andthey will not budge.(gentle music)Plus, they have a32 hour battery life andeight hours of play time,which is great ifyou wanna escapewith an audiobook,podcast, or music,because the world's on fire.(people screaming)(explosions booming)EVAN: Who used wired headphones?Raycons start at half the priceof other premium audio brandsthat sound just as good.So, no wonder they have over49,000 five star reviews.KATELYN: If you wannasupport our channel,and get 15% off yourRaycon purchase,click the link inour description,or go tobuyraycon.com/EvanandKatelyn,that's buy R A Y C ON .com/EvanandKatelyn.Ah!(Evan laughing)(upbeat music)Sound check.All right, let's see how thesetiny little resincubes turned out.(mold popping)KATELYN: They look pretty janky.(farting)They're very, very deformed.They're extremely deformed.There's lots of voids,probably because we shovedso much iridescentfilm in there.EVAN: Oh my gosh,there's like mass,look at that, there'sa massive void in here.KATELYN: Massive void.These are useless!(tool clattering)Let's-I mean,I guess we don't have to havethe cool stuff in there.No, let's-The film.Let's try again, ready?Yeah.(both clapping hands)(dice clattering)Oh!(electronic beeping)(both clapping hands)(dice clattering)They're very yellow. (laughing)I was going for like, justlike slight like inner glow.(farting)You know, theyare what they are,and they are what we have now.So, I'm down to just moveforward with the yellow ones.You did try choppingup a few little piecesof the iridescent film.Yeah.KATELYN: You can kind of see it.But, I'm not even sureif they're gonna be seenin here, and underneathall of the LEDs,'cause the LEDs are gonnakind of block that anyways.The main purpose-So, why are we even,why did we evengo through all of this?I just like, justin case they show.But, now that I'mthinking about it,they may not show at all.(Evan scratching beard)Okay.(Evan laughing)EVAN: My main concern now.What if we like, let'ssay that we surround thisto get an idea of- (laughing)Hold on.How big it's gonna be.It's too big (laughing).It's too, it's too big.Oh no!It's too big.So-I have an idea.What's your idea?What if we drill pocketsinto every face?That seems extremelytedious and difficult.What if we just glue themtogether in a little bundle?That's the easierway, but I still have,I still have my dreamof one per face.I think I at leastwanna try it once.Okay.(Evan laughing)(dramatic music)Oh no!Yeah, it's, like,already falling apart.Yeah, I mean, I never thoughtthat the drilling would work,so I don't reallyknow what to tell ya.(Evan laughing)It was a good effort.(Evan groaning)So, what if instead,we went with six LEDsfor every single dice?You mean, we went with my ideaof just gluing themin a little cluster.You know, after a lotof experimentation-(silly music)Let's do that. (laughing)So, my very high techplan involves hot glue.(crowd gasping)Just squirtingsome in the middle,and then when it dries,I'll add one more on topand one more on bottom.You know, hot glueis impressive.(crowd gasping)(dramatic music)Why am I so shaky, oh no.No, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no.(aluminum foil crinkling)That didn't work at all.It, like, immediatelydeformed them.Wait, I'll be back.(tools clattering)I think I might have gottenit, it's a little bit extreme.All right, now, ideally,we'd have some wooddowels, squares like this,and would cut them to size,and we'd just gluethem all on, right?Yeah.We don't have that,but we do have steel.Mm.I mean, they look likethey're about theright size, right?(laughing) How extrais it to cut steel for-(tool buzzing)(dramatic music)(Evan laughing)(upbeat music)EVAN: They are socute. (laughing)We have some very tiny,unnecessarily steel,steel cubes.It's for the weight.It's for the weight.I don't know, it is what it is.(Evan laughing)So, I'm gonna dip thislittle light in super glue.It's super glue gel.So, it's a little bit moreforgiving in terms of usability.I like it a little more.There you go.It is working!Now, it's gonna be alittle bit of a pain'cause I have to waitfor each one to dry.No, super gluedries pretty fast.How fast?(Evan laughing)Okay, then we keep going.You know, this might work okay.(aluminum foil crinkling)(Katelyn laughing)(Evan laughing)That's not centered.EVAN: Yeah, you don't have muchworking time with super glue.Centered enough!(Evan laughing)Centered enough. (laughing)(upbeat music)My little creation.(Evan laughing)It looks like a, it lookslike an underwater mine.KATELYN: I was just thinkingit looks like a underwater mine.EVAN: Right?KATELYN: That's straightout of a video game.Okay, now let's seehow the size compares.Alrighty!KATELYN: I think, yeah.I mean that's got a decentamount of wiggle room.EVAN: Yeah, that'll fit.You know,at the right orientation-Maybe?We could alwaysjust like leave outone LED or something,if we need to or-I think we can make this work.Let's mass produceour little LED mines.Should we try making onebefore we mass produce them?You are such a smart lady.(both laughing)Let's test one beforewe start mass producing, yeah.Let's make one!(upbeat music)(jaunty music)I'm so curious.EVAN: Hopefully therearen't massive voids.I know.Oh my gosh,you can totally seethe LEDs. (laughing)KATELYN: Well, that'snot a bad thing.And it's off center.Wow, you can really seethem, and it's off center.Oh boy.You can really see them.What happened to the blue?It's really off center.KATELYN: It's just pink,it's really off center.There's no voids, I meanthe lights look cool.EVAN: The lights look cool.In some ways, I don't mindseeing the LEDs in there.It's kinda likeindustrial looking.And like, I don'treally feel confidentmoving forward when westill don't really knowhow to center it.We're not sure of the rightlevel of color opacity.Yeah, plus I still, oh.I said, I alwayssay opacity wrong.Opacity.It's opacity.(laughing) I love you anyways.I know, but it's like-(Evan laughing)The word-(relaxing music)(Evan laughing)Opaque is with a Q.Opaquity. (laughing)(relaxing music)All right, all right,opaque is with a C,right, it's like,a soft C, but theyboth have an A there.Anyways, what I don'tfeel sure about is,how there are allthese different pointsof light shining outwardsthat don't match the faces.But, I think we just need todo a whole bunch of tests.I'm scared of yournext experiment.What do you want todo with the LEDs?Experiment one,improved centering jig.Our first design wasn't the bestfor making accurateright angles.But, you know what is, a box.We also decided to make thesenew centering jigs clear,because (tongue clicking)that's importantwhen you need to see throughto center your bundle of LEDs.Experiment two, inverted LEDs.We laser cut acrylic tomake tiny, clear cubes.And, this time, we gluedthe LEDS facing inwardsso that it created a singlebright ball of light.Or, as Evan likes tocall it, the capacitor.That looks really cool.It does look really cool.That looks really cool.It does.We also made a second one tocover with unicorn flakies,just to see if it lookedcool because, you know,why not add more experimentsto this already huge project?And, to test the inverted LEDs,we're just gonna go withthe same low opacity resin,like the previoustest, just for the sakeof not changing toomany variables at once.This is the sparkly one.KATELYN: Okay.Ooh, I do see the sparkles.Ooh, yes.That is really cool.KATELYN: That is really cool.How do you feel aboutthe glowing coreversus the multiple points?EVAN: I like it more.KATELYN: I think I do too.All right, let's seethe other one though.Okay.I don't know, I think Ilike the sparkly already.I know, the sparkly's,like, really cool.EVAN: Whoa, whoa.What?Whoa.What?This one hasso many cuts in it.Did you add cuts when therewere actually already cuts?(Evan laughing)Sorry, this happened off screen.Evan was like, \"Oh, thisone doesn't have cuts in it.I'll cut it.\"(sword clanging)Whips out knife.EVAN: Hey, still looks,still turned out okay!Great centering.Oh, so cool.KATELYN: The one withoutsparklies is a bit brighter.The one with sparklieshas some moreinteresting color variation.I personally like allof the LEDs shininginwards instead ofoutwards, because, like,it appeals to myengineering-iness.I'm fine with that, I like both.But, I do like the onewith the iridescent flakiesaround that inner core most.EVAN: Yeah, I like thattoo, let's do that.Now, onto somecolor experiments.Experiment three,color opacity, opacity.Opaquity.(electronic beeping)We decided to dothree more color tests.One that's aslightly more opaqueblue and pink alcohol ink.One, that same blue and pink,but with some blackalcohol ink mixed in,and one, again thatsame blue and pink,but with some whiteiridescent mica mixed in.And, if we have to do anymore color experiments,actually, I'm just kidding,I like the color experiments.Okay, first, let'slook at the onethat's the more opaquepink and blue alcohol ink.I'm getting-Ooh, oh yeah.Comparing it?That's way better.That's nice.KATELYN: I'm gladthat you can still seethe iridescentflakies some in there.Yeah, this is, I'malready way happierwith this and it looks great.You can still see the techinside, which is cool.Yeah.But I feel likeit's gonna be easierto read the letters.Yep, all right.Woo, okay.Next, next.Big improvement.Now, let's look atthe one that we addedwhite iridescent mica to.(mold popping)Ooh.KATELYN: You know,that's also cool.But I think I likethe blues.I don't think I likeit as much.Yeah, me neither.Alrighty.Now, the onethat we added blackalcohol ink to.EVAN: I'm excitedabout this one.KATELYN: I'm especiallyexcited to seehow this one looks lit up.Ooh.Ooh, very darkand moody.Yeah.KATELYN: I like that, though.EVAN: Ready?KATELYN: That's pretty cool.EVAN: Which one?KATELYN: Ah!Ah, (laughing) I mean they'rein the same family.They look very similar.EVAN: They're inthe same family.Like you could evenlike, you know,have some of theseand some of thesemixed within one set probably.Let's check out our final dice,which doesn't evenhave lights in it.We just had extraof all these colors.Pink alcohol ink,blue alcohol ink,white iridescent mica,and black alcohol ink.EVAN: That is cool looking.KATELYN: It is cool.EVAN: I mean, we're movingin the right direction.I would be happy withany of them, honestly.I really wish that thisone did have lights in itso that it was an accurate test.This one is the coolest,this one is the coolest!(Katelyn screaming)But, everything is the coolest!KATELYN: I think I caneliminate the ones with the micabecause, while it looks cool,I feel like it clouds thelights a little bit too much.EVAN: Yeah, and I like thedarker look of the black,but it does kind ofmuddy things a bit, so.Simple pink and blue.EVAN: Let's go intomass production mode.I'm so ready to seethem all together.I'm so ready.(Evan laughing)(upbeat music)Oh!Do they look okay?EVAN: So far so good.KATELYN: Okay, well let'sget 'em out and see.Alrighty, now all we have to dois just hours andhours of sanding,clipping and finishing.Yay.(Evan laughing)Yay, I can't wait.(Katelyn sighing)(upbeat music)(both breathing heavily)How you feeling, it's beena long six weeks or so.(laughing) I feel so relievedto be here at this moment,about to test our finaldice in the final dice tray.This has been such an adventure.There's so much that wecouldn't even show you guys.Like, we have, we made so many,so many test dice.So much testing.So much we couldn't talk about,we'll have to cover itin the after show later.Yeah, we'll tell allthe stories there.But, for now, it's timefor the final test.Are you ready?(dice clattering)Oh!Yes!(upbeat music)(dice clattering)(dice clattering)Yeah!(Evan laughing)Oh my gosh.They're so celestial.They're so, like,magical looking.(dramatic music)The moment of victorythat I want at the end of this,I want to roll a 20 andI want that 20 to glow.(dramatic music)(triumphant music)(crowd applauding)KATELYN: Don't wave.(Evan and Katelyn laughing)Boop.They boggle my mind, 'causeI know how they work.Yeah.But it doesn'tlook like they should work.KATELYN: No, it feelskind of like magic,when you lower them in-It feels kind of like magic,which is the coolest-And raise them up.It's, like, is the coolestthing to do, you know?They look like,like, like little,like, like it, like,it, it like it.(both laughing)(laughing) Words are hard.(Evan laughing)So, does this makeyou wanna playD and D, now that wehave, like, a super,super cool set of dice?Yeah, this might be,this is the tipping point.Having dice so cool that youcan't not play with them.KATELYN: Oh my god.EVAN: E'z the P'z, baby.While you're doing that,oh, this is recording.Hello, how long hasthis been recording?Hello. (laughing)So, the rice. (laughing)(both laughing)Oh my god, the rice is gone.(farting)Katelyn!KATELYN: Okay, that was you.(Evan laughing)KATELYN: Yes, yeah, yes.How you doing, yes.(Evan and Katelyn laughing)\n"
