First the water resin knife, then the lava resin axe, now we need the earth resin hammer.

i have to say, the recent trend of E&K becoming more snarky and flirty and less PG is one of my favourite things to happen here for a while

Alternate title: Evan and Katelyn make a super beautiful lava axe while trying to remain a family friendly channel for 28 minutes straight

I have a feeling that the "chewed gum" look might be a result of the "rocks" being glossy and roundish in shape, while magma is more matte and cracked in appearance. Still turned out to be super cool tho!

[Pir-o]

8 seconds in and we are already in "it's not that kind of channel" territory. I think it's a record

[kimberlyc]

Katelyn's "Button" impression was perfect. The cadence and tone is so specific and she nailed it

[Chris.P.Nugget.]

The white silicone goo on the rag was pure art 🤣

Evan and Katelyn have one of the very few channels where I laugh out loud and smash the like button during the sponsored segment...

[languageresources]

I've been a follower for years and there's a few things I need to say here: #1. I cannot with how ansolutely cute you two are. #2. I cannot with how absolutely cute you two are TOGETHER. #3. I love the "adulty" innocent puns in the video that are completely undemonetizable, kinda in the "if you know you know" sorta way. Please never ever change one bit because we need more people like you two, and please never stop making videos. I know it's too much to ask but this is the purest most unadulterated fun I've ever had.

I cannot think of any two people made more for each other than Evan and Katelyn 😂 ✨

The Forged in Fire-style reveal mini-montage was a KILLER choice. Such a cool project, and it came out so

[yelianismelendez]

Can someone make these adorable dorks a giant sign that says "Mold release"? I love you guys

[StellaTZH]

The glow looks so cool and the color for the lava is spot on! ❤

I think the main problem with the rocks is that usually the dark crust floats on top of the lava so you’ve got a bit of a 3D-Effect going on as well as the different textures. But the clear coat you guys applied first gave both lava and rocks the same texture, both were shiny. Maybe it would be more realistic looking if you made the blade completely yellow and red with glow and added the rocks later on the outside. Maybe airbrush them on or use some kind of grout or some of the techniques people use for making rocks for miniature landscapes.

[JiniriDancer]

You know, my first thought was you could easily make the rocks out of polymer clay... I've made some pretty darn realistic lava rock beads that way, and you have absolute control over size, texture all of that

It's been THREE YEARS!? By the time the first resin knife video came out I felt like I had already been following y'all for a while, wow! THREE YEARS!? I was in my 20s when I started following y'all and now I'm an old maid!!

[Mattstanley]

It looks great in the dark! I thought the glow would be provided by LED packs in the center, but that glow powder worked great. You could even make a stand for it, like a log or chopping block that hides UV lights in a hollow. When you pull it out, it's totally charged.

[rachaelmauck]

Evan getting cut off while saying "Should we do a time-lapse?" had me laughing more than I thought it would. 😂

[vidhoard]

Okay... it looks a bit like a burnt cheeto in the daylight... but it looks epic in the dark! I'd love to see a retry of this project!

[colelowe]

For the lava rocks, a good idea would have been to pour a thin layer of silicone in a box, then put your fireplace lava rocks on top. Once cured, remove the lava rocks and use the impressions in the silicon to make your resin lava rocks.

[LLiesak]

I feel sorry for you not reaching your expectations but it turns out pretty cool, also it's my first time seeing your channel and couldn't stop smiling the whole video because of your synergy
