CNC Tetris blocks (feat. Simone Giertz) | How to make

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Did y'all know we have *4 channels* now? This main one, plus: 🎮 Evan and Katelyn Gaming kzbin.info (us playing games and chatting, enhanced by epic editing and a heavy dose of memes) 🎙️ Evan and Katelyn Podcast kzbin.info (chatting about life, KZbin stuff, and playing games you can play along with) 😹 Evan and Katelyn Too kzbin.info (still figuring this one out 😂)

[@saanvi444]

why does the pinned comment (the one posted by the creators) only have 5 likes?!

[@AshCinder]

Michi Kreuz probably because the video is more than a year old. But the comment is only three months old. So most people haven’t seen it unless they are rewatching the videos. (Going on a binge watch, oop)

[@Jb-ve9vc]

Hey, Working my way through a lot of your videos recently but i come back to this one to write this. Did you guys ever end up using what was left of the wood after cutting out the blocks?

[@CarlManson1983]

Congrats on 50k! But I have to say I'm shocked it's not higher - you guys put so much into your channel and the maker community.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! It was a big milestone for us!

[@Hecyael]

Chec it again ;)

[@merlincantrell8546]

so much higher now

[@misticall]

@@EvanAndKatelyn YOU SHOULD SEE ME NOW. Pretty sure you'll hit two million in two years at most.

[@manbunben7285]

800k now

[@jmakes3745]

I honestly didn't want this video to end - the editing was great, the music was on point but the main thing I enjoyed was watching how other people respond to you - the womans face at the airport cracked me up!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you thank you and thank you! Haha the woman at the airport was verrrrry confused by us, but luckily she was cool :P

[@vectoredwolf]

Omg. I'm so happy that all my favorite channels are making videos with Simone! You're all awesome!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha it was so fun!! Simone is awesome

[@kateh.2324]

I didn’t know this collab existed, this is iconic

[@emmacat5732]

I love how simone knocked down the tower then immediately fealt so bad, she seems so sweet. I loved this video

[@sebastianjost]

She is! You should definitely check out her channel if you haven't already.

[@ChrisGould99]

you could use the cut out scraps for a sort of collage picture frame. idk just an idea

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That'd be cool!

[@DawnOfTheRobo]

Chris Gould or fill it with colorful resin blocks to look like Tetris blocks falling into place

[@MakeSomething]

I had no idea that Tetris was winnable! Awesome vid!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It is!! Younger me was the Tetris master!

[@GeneJordan]

EvanAndKatelyn I once erroneously made the claim that the Tetris playing skills of my youth improved my dishwasher loading skills. Guess who's job it is to load the dishwasher around here? ;) #lifeskills

[@caladair2087]

I’m fourteen and I knew Tetris is winnable. We have a Nintendo Gameboy and if you get 100,000 points you get a rocket taking off.

[@Bamfhammer]

None of the Tetris games are winnable in the sense that the game stops when you reach a certain point except for the Grand Master games. You can achieve the highest ending after earning so many points, which is, in the classic Tetris, a UFO that causes St. Basil's Cathedral to blast off... but the game continues and the difficulty increases until you cannot react fast enough to win. Gameboy Tetris had a more elaborate level score achievement ending, but again, the game continued if you wanted it to. The Grand Master games actually stopped when you beat the last level, which involved incredibly fast blocks that vanished when you placed them so you had to remember exactly where they ALL were when playing. In total, there are 6 people who have beaten Tetris. She is not one of them. I am not calling her a liar. I am sure she achieved the highest level on NES or Gameboy or something like that. But she has not beaten Tetris in the "there is no more game to play" sense.

[@BikeLifePinas]

I subscribed because I found myself smiling all the time I'm watching this show. Thank you. minimizing depression one person at a time. :)

[@FigmentsMade]

"We might not even need any glue!" Clunk. ... "Probably not a normal item." Hah! How many times have you had to say that to security? Awesome video as always! You always leave me with a big grin on my face at the end. It looked like you had such a blast with Simone. I hope you guys get to do more with her! And maybe stuff with the rest of the Tested crew!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha, luckily we borrowed a hammer from Simone and really pounded the brackets in before going live and they worked!! Yeah we have a 3D printed knife handle coming back with us and we're worried they're gonna think we hid the blade somewhere. It's just a prototype, we swear!

[@FigmentsMade]

EvanAndKatelyn If we don't hear from you for a while we'll try to send you a 3D printed file in a taco to escape. I'm sure they won't notice. 👀👀

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha!! Sounds like a plan

[@ragnkja]

The “Tetris music” is a Russian folk tune, and thus far too old to be under copyright.

[@catfish552]

The composition, yes. A specific recording can still be under copyright.

[@timshea5738]

Evan and Katelyn you guys are amazing, just the best warm fuzzy couple of maker nerds ever. And a mashup with Simone, wow! Awesome I love it when my online heros get together. There is magic in the world.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aw thank you!

[@Kevinardo]

Best part of this video: Bloopers with Simone!

[@yerboykakyoin624]

Yessssss I loved that Cheese Louise reference to Simone!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😁🧀

[@guy_does_nothing_productive]

Nice William Osman styled shirt

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks! Got it from the man himself when we visited 😁👍

[@OlafDoschke]

I see now, why you were so confident the blocks would stack up very high, up to the ceiling. With so detailed postprocessing of the inner corners, the blocks really stack well, and what a coincidence they all together form a nice 4x14 tower (8:22) - perfect. Nice work!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much! Haha yes doing our test run definitely made us more confident in our skills, though adding the robot arm as a factor was a wild card!

[@BruceAUlrich]

You win the internet at 8:24! Katelyn, how do you have all of the Tetris songs nailed?! I mean, nailed! And yeah, the fireworks are a real thing. I've done it.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha, I played a lottttt of Tetris as a kid. On repeat, every road trip haha. And yes I'm glad I'm not the only one!! For a minute I was like wait, am I just making up the fireworks thing?? 😜

[@BruceAUlrich]

No, not making it up. Most of my Tetris experience was on the gameboy, so I'm sure the fireworks were not all that special. This was before color had been invented. LOL!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Most of my Tetris was on a Gameboy too! I did eventually get Gameboy color but the colors were very limited haha

[@user-vs6uh7gc6u]

i love the little bloopers, its so funny to see yea the lil mistakes in the video and learning but the bloopers are so cute, and the tsa agent was also pretty funny. wonder if the cat paws were also by the blocks, just a random assortment

[@RobertShippey]

“I think I had a syntax error in my brain” she knew before she knew...!

[@Estefannie]

I died when Katelyn sang the Tetris theme song!! ;D

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha! My true calling is doing high pithed renditions of old video game music :D

[@3dpprofessor]

And, to be clear, the Tetris theme is a classical Russian song called Korobeiniki, so it should totally be in the public domain. In other words you're good to have it in your video. Though, I'm not sure what the ruling is on individual performances.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

3D Printing Professor yeah we didn't want to put the actual song in just in case, but hopefully they won't crack down on my beautifully sung rendition of it 🤞

[@yeetedfetusstudios4872]

Omg y'all hit 50 k I love Y'all so much. You helped through my sadness with my grandma's death by putting a smile on my face. Don't stop what ya do.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It was a big milestone for us! Thanks for being with us for so long. It makes us so happy to hear that we can help out in any small way during tough times. We plan to keep doing this as long as we can!

[@TheQwerty256]

Love that you painted it with the official colors

[@user-pq4mt7em3i]

That lady at the airport tho😂😱

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha I know 😂😂

[@TisaTinkers]

Omg three of my favorite crafters in one video 🥰🥰🥰

[@gr33ngirlsea]

It's so interesting how your videos have changed over the past few years! From super helpful tip-oriented DIY tutorials to silly cursed artist explorer friends! Both helpful and fun.

[@CloudyMao]

"I'm going to teach my cousin how to build designs that are functional from store bought Lego" E&K: hold my saw

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😂👏👏👏

[@BrandonsBees]

I love that the blocks line up perfectly when built four across. How fortuitous!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha I know, it was so surprisingly satisfying!!

[@brunareivax3258]

The wooden "leftover" makes a great decorative portrait or something! You should definitely varnish it and hang it on the wall with little succulent planters or something

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Love the idea of adding succulents!

[@StonedLittleFox]

The board you guys cut the pieces from could be a cute idea for a multi photo frame thingy.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Oo totally!

[@MeLyGiRlY]

In case you still have the peace of wood you cut the blocks out, you could fill it with coloured resin and place a light behind it. That would be bomb! I really liked the video. I've been bingewatching you the last few days! Thanks for all your effort and your will to share your creativity with us!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

that would have been so cool! This was filmed before we had started any resin, otherwise we might have! Thank you so much, so glad you've been liking the videos 😄😀

[@markadamarnold]

E&K + Simone = Pure Awesomeness

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😁❤️

[@vidhoard]

Crazy that it was only about a month after this was posted that Simone posted her video about her brain tumor. She's such a wonderful human and it's so nice to see two of my favorite channels interacting!

[@skewedmaker]

Your videos are educational, entertaining, and a joy to watch. My daughters heard your laughing and wanted to know what I watching...now they want me to build a robot arm to play Tetris with 😲

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Aww haha that makes us happy to hear! Now... Get on that robot arm! 😋🤖

[@baliwmo]

Tetris!!! 😱😱😱😱 very nostalgic.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Notsalgic for us too!

[@MjrNiGhTmArE]

I’ve been binge watching these, that guy and Katelyn videos since I saw the first one.

[@agepbiz]

Nice video!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@user-ky2qk3kv8z]

the collab between both of my favorite maker channels. YAYYYYYYYY!!!! i thought it was too good to be true :)

[@InfiniteCraftsman]

I freakin love you guys! So happy you hit 50k in under(?) a year. Keep killing it! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

D'aww we love you too! Ahhh I know we are super excited, made it just under our year mark! :D

[@HeyItsJonSchwartz]

This project perfectly shows off how cnc robots let you pull something off quickly. It would have been so much harder for you guys to pull this off if you had to create the blocks manually. Also, chipmunk E&K almost had be spitting out coffee.

[@HeyItsJonSchwartz]

Sorry didn't finish watching before I posted. Syntax Error in my brain... stealing that. Also, I'm going to clap when someone says Bye.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Oh yeah, we couldn't have done the project this fast without the CNC for sure. Haha glad our high pitched selves could cause a lol! Haha we soooo wanna clap when someone is saying goodbye now but then we would have to apologize and show them the end of this video for context!

[@HeyItsJonSchwartz]

I didn't want to say you couldn't have done it because I have seen the E&K work ethic in action and know that you technically have it in you. Though, you'd show up having not slept for 3 days. I think Simone was talking about golf clapping which would come off condescending or something, but a thunderous applause would be confusing but appreciated with no other context.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha yes, definitely would have shown up like zombies! Thunderous applause is always appreciated 😜😜

[@jthomas6080]

Hope you guys used that board as a shelf for the blocks. The cubbies were already the perfect shape!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha that's the perfect idea! We gave Simone the blocks though

[@whoever6458]

This is awesome! I love both your channels! I was not aware that you could beat Tetris and I've played it so much that I've had dreams of playing Tetris. At least it has some winning fanfare. When you "win" at this old Atari game called Defender, it just goes from level 99 back to level 0 again and the only thing you notice is that it suddenly gets SUPER easy again.

[@crowmoon9994]

Adorable and satisfying!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha thanks!

[@almagill]

"It was like I had a syntax error in my brain".... me, every freaking day.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha same!

[@K-4U]

I just realized that this was right before she announced she had a brain tumor...

[@davidharvey5672]

Someone somewhere really wanted that block that the pieces came out of. Happy happy happy, thanks guys

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We should start seeing is people want that kind of stuff before using it for something else! Thanks 😁😁

[@brainybricks4371]

Simone is hands down my #1 favorite Maker, Followed by Katelyn, and then maybe Evan lol

[@dougietheteaboy9960]

OMG I get syntax errors in my brain all the time! Love you guys!

[@r.e.i.n2436]

WAIT WHAT EVEN UNTIL NOW THEY STILL HAVENT REACHED 1 MIL WTH THIS IS SO UNDERRATEDD ಠ︵ಠ

[@janmatsumoto9086]

You could use the tetris board as a chopping board or a mini stool or table by filling the holes with resin or epoxy?? You guys are the expert HAHAHAH

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha that would have been cool!

[@Zay878]

oh my gosh i think this is my new favorite vid of y'alls! I love Simone

[@johno186]

Why am I not surprised that Simone, Evan & Katelyn laughed their way through the segment.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😁🤣😂

[@TheVirakahScale]

That leftover piece could be an LED-Lit Resin Tetris Wall Art, with brass trim around each of the Tetris blocks! o:

[@goose1803]

“A Louise type of cheese” Thankyou 🥺

[@yin2027]

OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB :D

[@1_yuffiee_1]

Inlay a piece of glass or clear perspex into the cut out wood and use it as a small storage cupboard for dainty items that could be displayed but also kind of hidden?

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That'd be cool!

[@niamhharhen7451]

Katelyn's cat tshirt is amazing!!!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

It's my William Osman shirt! 😁😸👍

[@sp3lllz]

I just found this video after watching you for a while! How does this not have more views!

[@BeefaloBart]

got to love Simone

[@sparkysheep]

Did you ever end up doing something with the negative space board? Because if you didn’t and still have it you could make an epic lamp with some resin and LEDs!

[@DoItProjects]

That original Tetris theme song was so awesome! What a fun idea this was, guys. Great project.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! Oh yeah, I'm all about that OG Tetris music :D

[@AtCharlottesHouse]

Gah! I have such a robot crush now! Also... loved seeing how the x carve and 3d printer set up and work! Thanks!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We love it when our robots get to work together!

[@AtCharlottesHouse]

Robot matchmakers. Could be the next big show on Bravo.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

At Charlotte's House hahaha, yep!

[@mochichu6922]

These are SOO CUUUUUTE

[@aga.sprus23]

7:36 in speed up voices they sound a lil bit like minions 😉

[@Moola868]

6:08 I feel like, seeing as how they are Tetris blocks, which are meant to fit together in a grid, that you could have gotten A LOT more out of your piece of wood. it would have taken some clever arrangement, but I think you could have pulled it off.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

because we were using tabs to keep them connected to the wood around them, cuts can't be right next to each other, otherwise pieces would come loose as they were being cut

[@millerm37]

Y A D O N T L I E K M Y S L A P S?

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

haha! my slaps were top notch!

[@millerm37]

Hahaha!!😂

[@jonathanwuertz3500]

You guys are awesome!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

❤️❤️❤️

[@michaeltnem]

Use the scrap for a mold and make resin Tetris blocks that have galaxy colors! you could do concrete too!

[@loolielou_____7229]

If you kept the access wood you could take a picture cut the picture so it fits an glue it in the patches that you cut for the tetris blocks

[@GodzillaB210]

The wood you used to cut the shapes out of would make a great shadow box for knick-knacks.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That would be cool!

[@WorksbySolo]

Very cool! I like the flash back story line. Your editing and music placement are working nice. So fun to watch, as usual with your channel. Keep it up guys!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you! Been working on balancing parts with music and parts without music, it's been fun experimenting little by little as we go :)

[@reforzar]

Also, Katelyn wins major points for beating Tetris. 🙌🏻

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha, I'll take all the points I can get! Thanks!

[@gabrielhuff6969]

YES I was hoping there was going to be a Simone colab video somewhere

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Yep! Would love to do another together sometime! :D

[@JackmanWorks]

So you're coming out to DC this weekend, right?! Got to keep those road trips going haha

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha, you joke, but we'd be down for a DC trip sometime! All the collabs? ALL THE COLLABS!

[@FigmentsMade]

ALL THE COLLABS vote!!!

[@JackmanWorks]

Alright, it's on my calendar, maybe I'll give you a couple weeks break haha

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

thanks for the generous break!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work E&K! 👍👍👊👊 😃

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks Fred! Glad you liked it!

[@brickbuilder5119]

OMG YOU MADE A COLAB?!?! I'M STUNNED THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Hahaha you are welcome!!!

[@vectoredwolf]

The tetris leftovers... photo frame, planter, candle holder. Basically... put stuff in the holes.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

So many ideas!

[@sanikathedreamer8692]

My suggestion for the tetris cut out piece: We put a backing and thdn fill it all with resin.... Pls

[@bradfords6]

Congrats on 50K!!!!!!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! It's a big milestone for us!

[@burgbuilds]

I was jamming to this funky music, I dig it. Also, SO COOL, the project and you got to hang out with Simone! 🤙🏻

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha we were jamming while editing it! Thank you and yes we are still kinda pinching ourselves!

[@astcat]

I loved the look on the TSA agent’s face. lol

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😂❤️

[@12jeeplover]

What kind of bits did you guys use to cut out those blocks and what kind of collet was on you router ? Looks really good and the second bit really cleaned the blocks up better

[@milenamartins21]

I think I'm just gonna give up on waiving and resort to clapping when leaving a room from now on

[@decdeclanlan]

Oh man your videos make me so happy! :)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

D'aww thank you! That makes us happy to hear!

[@jonathanlambach2229]

It would’ve been cool to have painted the lines between the squares black to show up even more, then sand off any excess to paint that went over and paint them different colors.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That would have been fun to try! We tried leaving the lines wood but it ended up not making a huge visual difference so we just painted them solid

[@GMSqueaky91]

Beautiful video as always. I REALLY want an X Carve of my own now. I keep trying to look for one of those tool sharing places near me, but all I am finding is small hand tool libraries.

[@gertruud625]

Best video ever

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha thanks!

[@sofiachaves2575]

Omg I just noticed they collabed now! Please do it again! 😭

[@WayWoodworking]

FUN ALL DAY! 😄😃

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That's what we aim for 😉😉

[@tinysmallhuman]

With the end piece of wood you could have filled the gaps with coloured resin or something and put lights behind it to make a cool art piece

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That'd be cool!

[@carterp2858]

Katelyn the Tetris expert

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

I do my best 😋

[@danielbottcher3343]

I have been waiting for this! Thank you!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks for waiting! This was a fun one :D

[@danielbottcher3343]

Y’all are like the cutes all so. Can you your do diy storage things. Like anything. I live in such a small place and I need some awesome and exiting thing to help me get organized

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We are actually going to be renovating our closet soon! That counts as DIY organization right?

[@danielbottcher3343]

Ohhhhh awwwwww that’s going to be so snazzy and of course that is diy storage!

[@danielbottcher3343]

I also love how you guys actually take your subscribers input an make it in to reality.

[@Official_Mr_Lex]

Use the scrap piece and fill it with different colored resin in the spaces left by the brings. Oh but paint the wood black first.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Oooo that would look cool!

[@Official_Mr_Lex]

EvanAndKatelyn If I had a company I would sponsor y’all

[@heyimamaker]

How did I miss this one? Great work!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@axycxs]

I love the security persons face after you said that were Tetris blocks

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

😂❤️

[@Eli_McD]

you should use the frame as a tetris puzzle!

[@InsufficientFare]

omgggg i cant believe this happened! i love all of ya!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We can't believe it either! Was so fun!

[@angrypotato_fz]

I visit your channel for the first time. It's... so joyful and positive! Love it! All the best to you :) These blocks look great!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! You sound like a happy potato, not an angry potato 🥔

[@thehappyextruder7178]

Cool Blocks Guys !! --- Print removal was Awesome edit ! -- Happy Extruding !

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha we had so much fun with that little segment of the video - thank you!

[@jennifergrosky]

Tetris Jenga!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Exactly!

[@fazmanicg]

You guys are BY FAR the most enjoyable videos on KZbin! - Love the light fare and the video style. - Kudos you two. Keep it up!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

That's a huge compliment! Thank you!!!

[@ManCrafting]

So cool. Hanging out with the biggest channels in our genre. Congrats. 🍾 🎊 🎈 oh and while others may have been first to comment, I was first to guess tetras way back when you posted the teaser.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Yes you were the first to guess the teaser! So I guess we can send you this too: media.giphy.com/media/l0HU5XOQ5g9Q7gel2/giphy.gif

[@ManCrafting]

EvanAndKatelyn bwa hahahaha
