You should put a sticky note on top of all your molds that say "mold release" on it that you only take off when you are actively using it so it will be a little harder to forget about
Every time you forget the mold release you should put the words on the table using the portable surface printer. At the end of the year you can clean it off, but the start of each year people in the audience can start a pool betting how many times you'll have it marked on the table by the end of the year.
@@EvanAndKatelynonce when I was DM’ing I had an npc do that because they were on 1 hp and it was a chaotic neutral npc so if it’s going down so will everyone else
It most likely wasnt lighter. The issue was the design of the custom scale which created to much resistance without giving each side a big enough lever to actually push the weight up. If you look closely while they pushing by themselves you will notice that it goes slow and then really quick. It isn't cause they suddenly pushed a lot harder, it looks like that cause the resistance at the bottom with this scale is to high, if they holded both at the middle and balanced it that way then it probably would have shown the real result, but here the weight had to fight the resistance of the scale on top of the weight of the dice. Making a scale isn't just making something that looks like one, you actually need to make the math for it to function properly and take the scale itself in consideration.
I would highly recommend for the next time, you guys invest in a rotocasting machine. 1) it's fun. It's huge. It spins things around and just-- did I say it's fun? :P 2) you can make hollow things. 3) With the rotocast rolling around, you won't have spots where it stays in one spot though you do lose out on using the pressure pot
@@TheKankeinaiFactor I think this would be something they’d definitely get a ton of use out of with future projects (plus I don’t think it’ll take much convincing Evan to buy a new toy lol)

I used yo work for a company makin oil drill heads out of Tungsten. This is almost exactly how we did it, except instead of resin we used brass. Packed the tungsten into a mold using a vibration table, used a formula to determine how much brass it could soak up, then put it in a kiln at 2500 degrees for 2 hours. The brass runs like water, the powder soaks it all up. To do this in your dice mold, you'd need to have a tall, thick sprew, fill the mold with just resin, packed down (vibrations work best) the sprue would need to be tall enough to contain all your resin, something as thin as possible, slow cure so you could vacuum out the air pulling the resin into the voids. But if ya wanted really wanted to do it right, you'd need to get a mold CNC'd from graphite, fill THAT to the top with tungsten powder, vibrate that down and add until it stops settlin, add enough brass (by weight) to fill the mold (held in the sprew) and cook that bad boy at 2500 to 2600 degrees fer a few hours, then smash the mold because that's the only way to get it out. We used cold baths for several hours to cool it enough to get within arm's reach without gettin burnt. It'd be fun! Good luck!
@@BenJamin-en3jb No, just Tungsten. After demoulding the head still had a couple machining steps to go through to add threads on the neck and the cutters were tungsten carbide.
Interesting that the head was made of tungsten and brass. I can't imagine that would be as resilient as some other alloy, was the main goal to achieve the heaviest head possible for a given amount of strength?
@@KeterMalkuth Not an alloy. Tungsten doesn't melt until around 5 or 6 thousand degrees. Brass is vapor by then. It's technically a matrix material, the brass just holds the form but the tungsten takes the wear. The tungsten is held together at such a high density that it wears more like tungsten than brass. I was just a shop bot though, not one of the engineers. I made the heads, but not smart enough to tell you why it works.
I really love your guys videos. I watch for the cool projects but also your energy together is amazing and wholesome! BUT the Editing???? Amazing! It really just adds a cherry on top.

Guys, I wonder if you could mix metal powder with thin resin, and then use an electromagnet to make those ferrofluid shapes appear in the resin, and then have it cure into that shape while the magnet holds it into position? Could make for some really cool artwork. Ferrofluid designs frozen in time.
My brain has the same reaction as yours, singular “dice” sounds so, so wrong. But apparently in British English, “die” is as nearly as antiquated as “thou” is for singular you, so sources like the OED endorse singular “dice” as preferred in the modern day. Evan and Katelyn are American so that doesn't strictly apply, but the language is changing. Still hurts my brain, but it's facts. But the D&D Player's Handbook and other related sources still use "one die, two dice”, so there are still sentries on that wall.
Something that may help a bit with separation in the future: try mixing any additives into just one part of the resin, before mixing parts an and b together. You’ll be able to take as much time as you need, and can make sure every particle is fully coated with resin. And have less panic.
The preferred nomenclature for referring to dice in the singular is unalive. (I dunno, I hear that the algorithm doesn't like murder-death-kill these days)
DM: "You are curently enjoying a pretty nice time in that little tavern you recently discover. WHEN SUDUNLY!!! *Throws a giant dice in the battle map* *Look at the massacre* ...Unfortunatly... No one seem to survive the verry surprizing encounter. Some witness says they have seen Jerry the kobold fly to the next village a 100 miles away. But no one have ever see him since." The party: "..."
Me: they are going to make a giant resin die. Evan: we want to make a die out of tungsten. Me: oh, that's unexpected Evan: we are going to put tungsten powder into resin. Me: ah... that checks out.
The last part of the video where you start smashing things reminds me of those hydraulic press videos but yours is just 100x more chaotic and explosive. I love it.
0:35 My friend has a giant d20 about the size of a fist. It's made of plastic. We call it "The Bowling Ball" and he's not allowed to roll it on anything other than a padded dice tray due to its destructive capabilities. It's a _VERY_ bad idea 🤣
To avoiding layering and surface bubbles forming, a 3-axis mixing machine could used, (DIY video idea maybe?), or build a vacuum cabinet (another video idea, maybe?) where you put all the ingredients you need to mix in it, turn the vacuum pump, and use your hands as said 3 axis mixing machine.
@@IanZainea1990 intoxication time!!!!! Let's goooooooo! I love fumes aaaaa. I gotta love cross contamination in my lasagna. But fr never bake plastics, resins, etc in a home oven, microwave or air fryer.
I just found this channel from the LED dice and I am making my own version of them now featuring considerably more maths, electronics design and 3d printing. I have also been binging the entire channel night & day and this is the first new video I've seen. I'm actually genuinely very happy about this. I love this channel.
Also! Tungsten story time: my materials science lecturer was this ancient Hungarian dude, and he was telling us about the work he did with tungsten way back in the day. He said they took a tungsten core, then surrounded it with aluminium, and behind it put "lot of dynamite", and as he did this he drew in stages on the board a deadass tank shell. I poked my sleeping friend to wake them up. He then said they fired it at a piece of armour, with judges and speedometers to make sure they were within spec, and the aluminium would fuse with the armour and form a channel through which the tungsten core would be guided to penetrate the armour. He said this was a very successful venture, and he had all of his papers ready to go off to work for the Soviet Union, and then the Hungarian revolution broke out, and he took part fighting against the Russian tanks. Then when they lost, he fled to start his new life in England. My friend said, "Well, I'm definitely awake now."
As someone who works with tungsten powder i'm glad to see that you are at least wearing a full face mask with filtered air and single use gloves wich shows that you are at least somewhat aware of how bad that powder is. Working with tungsten is an art of its own since its so hard to work with. When i read that you wanted to make a tungsten dice i first thought you'd mill it out of a block since i don't think you have an oven hot enough to sinter. Using resin didn't even cross my mind. To reduce the chance of air bubbles on top of the dice you could use a similar casting method to metal casting. In metal casting you have a fill port with a small reservoir on top of it and a vent at all the places air could get trapped in. With a simple form like a dice you'd only need to orient the dice to have one of its corners as the top. Then you just fill the mold through the fill port until the liquid comes out of the vent. This should also reduce the need of a vacuum or pressure chamber. After it's cured you just have to cut off the material left in the fillport and vent. Oh, also please don't use the oven you use to make your food in for the use of curing resin or the work with other chemicals
I didn't know that I really wanted to see a Ridiculously Heavy Die ™being rolled until this video. What a cool project. 🤩Also one of E&K's funniest sponsor ads to date, the shark onesies really made it. 😂New merch looks beautiful, I wish overseas shipping and customs weren't such a PITA.
We need a E&K x How Ridiculous collab where you make the biggest and heaviest dice (like this one but exponentially bigger) and drop it from their tower!
Y'all just keep getting better and better! Evan please keep going with the noise chaos. And destructive Katelyn is my fave. You can see the chaos goblin light up in her eyes. Can y'all just do a video of pure destruction and havoc? Let the beast run free.
To prevent settling, make a compression shell for your molds and set them in a tumbler inside your large pot so they're constantly turning as they cure. You'll have to make extra sure it's filled fully and leak-free, though. Might be a fun project you can use for years to come.
Fun language fact: Tungsten in Danish is the same spelling as "tung sten"; which literally means heavy stone. It's the same in Norwegian and Swedish, as the name indeed is derived from that meaning from one of the Swedish discoverers work. I'd argue Wolfram is a cooler sounding name, but man, it's satisfying one of the densest elements is called heavy stone. edit: from heaviest to densest, just for correctness sake
It's not one of the heaviest elements. It has almost the same density and weight as gold. Lead for example is actually heavier, and of course all of the radioactive elements.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Lead is about 60% as dense as gold/tungsten: 11.348 g/cm^3 for lead vs. 19.283 g/cm^3 for gold/19.254 g/cm^3 for tungsten. A lead-powder die done the same way would've probably weighed about 12 pounds.
Die is the singular form of dice. It comes from the French word des, a plural word for the same objects. I don't know if this has to do with censorship of the word "Die", but you had me yelling at my TV every time you guys said dice. 😂😂😂
The little "Back to the Future" sound when Evan said "heavy" in the intro was perfect. Just subtle enough that I had to replay it to make sure I wasn't imagining things.
I know it's not totally the focus of the video, but for dice fairness/balance there's a fun research paper to check out (called "Dice Mythbusters") by Dr. Warren Cambell from Western Kentucky University where he and some other researchers tried to figure out 1. what's the best way to test dice fairness and 2. to see if which types of dice (if any) were more fair than others.
31:37 would be a great ad for DND. i can just imagine a slogan popping up at the end. like 'Anything could happen.' or 'You're at the mercy of the roll.' or something lol
If your plan was always to make a big set of dice with tungsten infused resin, why didn’t you just make the faces of each side of each of the dice separately that way the tungsten would evenly distribute along the flat surface and then put them together into halves, and then fill up each half in two layer processes before putting them together, so that once again, the weight is equally distributed throughout the dice? Or you could’ve also just made them one layer of the time and give it a cool Damascus look. And the third option is you could’ve made the faces like I said before, and then filled them with tungsten, ball bearings and then added resin because the packed tight ball bearings would have to be evenly distributed
Have a mold made that has a filling cone that is above the level of the dice, and gates into the flat face of the dice. Then fill the mold with enough powder to fill it up + a bit into the cone. Then mix that powder with your resin and pour into the mold, cap it and then fill the cone. It should settle into a mostly uniform dice then, and you can cut off the gate and wet sand it smooth.
Also ik as humans you guys have your moments especially bc these experiments can’t be easy to get right, that’s a given but in these videos I love to see yall have fun & seem like such a loving couple 🥹 I’ve been watching your videos for years now and yall are seriously amazing together I’m sure the void supervisor agrees 😉🥰

The fact that you didn’t weigh the ‘20 lb’ weight on the electric scale to see if it was in fact lighter than 20lb, will forever haunt me.
It most likely wasnt lighter. The issue was the design of the custom scale which created to much resistance without giving each side a big enough lever to actually push the weight up.

I really love your guys videos. I watch for the cool projects but also your energy together is amazing and wholesome! BUT the Editing???? Amazing! It really just adds a cherry on top. It's only gotten better and better over the years!! The little comments, the graphs and visuals, it just really sweetens the deal and makes me laugh even more.
I'm sure it's alot of work but it really shows! Amazing. ❤
Well. Huh! This is a really, really nice part of the internet. I think I'll sit here a while. Thank you!
Let's go!! A tungsten dice! (I have no idea how yall come up with these kinds of ideas for videos but I'm loving it)
What's next? A tungsten monopoly set? The world's largest real life monopoly? Resin chess? Joob themed games? I can't wait!

The tavern shot in slow motion was epic, really nice job on the whole video!
Thanks!! It was really fun to do and a great excuse to business expense some DND stuff for the next time we play
A future note with Kazoos, incase you haven't figured it out yet-
They don't function by blowing air-
You're basically just humming/singing/vocalizing into a Kazoo, which it then amplifies and uses to create that signature kazoo sound-
10:50 made me laugh so loud unexpectedly my wife jumped. well done 😊
Excellent video! The pressure pot noises are brutal! I'm trying exposure therapy for my misophonia and hope to make it through one pressure pot release without muting! I'm not even close to succeeding yet.😂
@@KimberlyM658 I have misophonia but it was way more intense when I was a little younger😭 now I wan withstand being in places with many people eating😄 (chewing is my main trigger)
I think a slide whistle or possibly bag pipes should be next for the pressure pot!
i love the idea of bagpipes
And something something farts
Also, train whistle
oh my god!
Guys, I wonder if you could mix metal powder with thin resin, and then use an electromagnet to make those ferrofluid shapes appear in the resin, and then have it cure into that shape while the magnet holds it into position? Could make for some really cool artwork. Ferrofluid designs frozen in time.
Ooo that’s a cool idea. I hope they see this
Every time they refer to the single chance form as "a dice" my skin crawls and my brain attempts to leave chat. Dice is plural. Die is singular.
My brain has the same reaction as yours, singular “dice” sounds so, so wrong. But apparently in British English, “die” is as nearly as antiquated as “thou” is for singular you, so sources like the OED endorse singular “dice” as preferred in the modern day. Evan and Katelyn are American so that doesn't strictly apply, but the language is changing. Still hurts my brain, but it's facts.
But the D&D Player's Handbook and other related sources still use "one die, two dice”, so there are still sentries on that wall.
Something that may help a bit with separation in the future: try mixing any additives into just one part of the resin, before mixing parts an and b together. You’ll be able to take as much time as you need, and can make sure every particle is fully coated with resin. And have less panic.
A single one is called a die and Wizard Evan would try to summon an imp and get Joobmodeus because "Words are Hard". I love this project!
Imagine breaking a table every time you play a board game 😂
Getting a bicep workout by lifting and throwing it
Fun video guys! I will say it broke my soul a little bit more every time you said dice referring to a single die.
The preferred nomenclature for referring to dice in the singular is unalive.
(I dunno, I hear that the algorithm doesn't like murder-death-kill these days)
I love the merch! I like the design especially, because it is simple, and probably goes with a lot of outfits, you don’t see that all the time 😁

The intro footage really took me back to the days where I eagerly watched all the Mythbusters episodes I could find. Great video as always guys
12:00 That was such a serious, mature and professional conversation. I found it a bit funny because I'm not used to it here, but I liked it!
Me: they are going to make a giant resin die.
Evan: we want to make a die out of tungsten.
Me: oh, that's unexpected
Evan: we are going to put tungsten powder into resin.
Me: ah... that checks out.

The last part of the video where you start smashing things reminds me of those hydraulic press videos but yours is just 100x more chaotic and explosive. I love it.

@@yzkn8848 you can edit it lol
To avoiding layering and surface bubbles forming, a 3-axis mixing machine could used, (DIY video idea maybe?), or build a vacuum cabinet (another video idea, maybe?) where you put all the ingredients you need to mix in it, turn the vacuum pump, and use your hands as said 3 axis mixing machine.
This was a great episode. Funny ending with destroying things. Excellent editing. And you two as always are adorable. Five out of five stars. Love it.
27:58 not sure you should cook resin in your food oven... maybe get a crappy oven second hand for resin baking.

I just found this channel from the LED dice and I am making my own version of them now featuring considerably more maths, electronics design and 3d printing. I have also been binging the entire channel night & day and this is the first new video I've seen. I'm actually genuinely very happy about this. I love this channel.
Also! Tungsten story time: my materials science lecturer was this ancient Hungarian dude, and he was telling us about the work he did with tungsten way back in the day. He said they took a tungsten core, then surrounded it with aluminium, and behind it put "lot of dynamite", and as he did this he drew in stages on the board a deadass tank shell. I poked my sleeping friend to wake them up.
He then said they fired it at a piece of armour, with judges and speedometers to make sure they were within spec, and the aluminium would fuse with the armour and form a channel through which the tungsten core would be guided to penetrate the armour. He said this was a very successful venture, and he had all of his papers ready to go off to work for the Soviet Union, and then the Hungarian revolution broke out, and he took part fighting against the Russian tanks.
Then when they lost, he fled to start his new life in England.
My friend said, "Well, I'm definitely awake now."
@@excrubulent…woah
I'd love to see how your dice turn out!

As someone who works with tungsten powder i'm glad to see that you are at least wearing a full face mask with filtered air and single use gloves wich shows that you are at least somewhat aware of how bad that powder is. Working with tungsten is an art of its own since its so hard to work with. When i read that you wanted to make a tungsten dice i first thought you'd mill it out of a block since i don't think you have an oven hot enough to sinter. Using resin didn't even cross my mind.
To reduce the chance of air bubbles on top of the dice you could use a similar casting method to metal casting. In metal casting you have a fill port with a small reservoir on top of it and a vent at all the places air could get trapped in. With a simple form like a dice you'd only need to orient the dice to have one of its corners as the top. Then you just fill the mold through the fill port until the liquid comes out of the vent. This should also reduce the need of a vacuum or pressure chamber. After it's cured you just have to cut off the material left in the fillport and vent.
Oh, also please don't use the oven you use to make your food in for the use of curing resin or the work with other chemicals
I didn't know that I really wanted to see a Ridiculously Heavy Die ™being rolled until this video. What a cool project. 🤩Also one of E&K's funniest sponsor ads to date, the shark onesies really made it. 😂New merch looks beautiful, I wish overseas shipping and customs weren't such a PITA.
Sharks are called dragons where i live, so it's always funny to see a parody. My head just take a time to corelate the two together.

@@Mykasan even more appropriate in this instance since it's in the title of D&D lol
We need a E&K x How Ridiculous collab where you make the biggest and heaviest dice (like this one but exponentially bigger) and drop it from their tower!
Yes!!

Y'all just keep getting better and better!
Evan please keep going with the noise chaos. And destructive Katelyn is my fave. You can see the chaos goblin light up in her eyes. Can y'all just do a video of pure destruction and havoc? Let the beast run free.
To prevent settling, make a compression shell for your molds and set them in a tumbler inside your large pot so they're constantly turning as they cure. You'll have to make extra sure it's filled fully and leak-free, though. Might be a fun project you can use for years to come.
The editing in this video is superb, I lost count of the number of times I laughed!
30:39 the gremlin jig!
Fun language fact: Tungsten in Danish is the same spelling as "tung sten"; which literally means heavy stone.
It's the same in Norwegian and Swedish, as the name indeed is derived from that meaning from one of the Swedish discoverers work. I'd argue Wolfram is a cooler sounding name, but man, it's satisfying one of the densest elements is called heavy stone.
edit: from heaviest to densest, just for correctness sake
It's not one of the heaviest elements. It has almost the same density and weight as gold. Lead for example is actually heavier, and of course all of the radioactive elements.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo 6th densest, so yes. One of the densest. But yes . Dense is a more correct term.
🍎 thank you for the etymology of the word tungsten.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Lead is about 60% as dense as gold/tungsten: 11.348 g/cm^3 for lead vs. 19.283 g/cm^3 for gold/19.254 g/cm^3 for tungsten. A lead-powder die done the same way would've probably weighed about 12 pounds.
Die is the singular form of dice. It comes from the French word des, a plural word for the same objects.
I don't know if this has to do with censorship of the word "Die", but you had me yelling at my TV every time you guys said dice. 😂😂😂
The little "Back to the Future" sound when Evan said "heavy" in the intro was perfect. Just subtle enough that I had to replay it to make sure I wasn't imagining things.
Give it to Matt Mercer for another baking episode of the 10 Minute Power Hour so he can further wreck the Grumps' table with a massive D20 lmao
I was going to say don't let Laura Bailey see this or she'll want one and then we'll watch Matt Mercer meltdown when she ruins their beautiful table.
I know it's not totally the focus of the video, but for dice fairness/balance there's a fun research paper to check out (called "Dice Mythbusters") by Dr. Warren Cambell from Western Kentucky University where he and some other researchers tried to figure out 1. what's the best way to test dice fairness and 2. to see if which types of dice (if any) were more fair than others.

Fun stuff. love your editing style Kate. Evan, never change. LOL You two are great!
If your plan was always to make a big set of dice with tungsten infused resin, why didn’t you just make the faces of each side of each of the dice separately that way the tungsten would evenly distribute along the flat surface and then put them together into halves, and then fill up each half in two layer processes before putting them together, so that once again, the weight is equally distributed throughout the dice? Or you could’ve also just made them one layer of the time and give it a cool Damascus look. And the third option is you could’ve made the faces like I said before, and then filled them with tungsten, ball bearings and then added resin because the packed tight ball bearings would have to be evenly distributed
Legit haven't watched you in years but I saw dice and I got so excited
I love that Evan and Katelyn are getting more and more unhinged as time goes on.
"Thick substances into smol holes" - OMG You're just making it worse 🤣🤣
NOT THAT TYPE OF CHANNEL. Lol
Have a mold made that has a filling cone that is above the level of the dice, and gates into the flat face of the dice.
Then fill the mold with enough powder to fill it up + a bit into the cone. Then mix that powder with your resin and pour into the mold, cap it and then fill the cone. It should settle into a mostly uniform dice then, and you can cut off the gate and wet sand it smooth.
Also ik as humans you guys have your moments especially bc these experiments can’t be easy to get right, that’s a given but in these videos I love to see yall have fun & seem like such a loving couple 🥹 I’ve been watching your videos for years now and yall are seriously amazing together I’m sure the void supervisor agrees 😉🥰
