that would be an excellent series. I love seeing something in the store or on pinterest and making it better and higher quality and much cheaper. Like hardwood modern furniture for example. Some furniture pieces that would cost thousands because they are OOAK or handmade pieces, can be made for hundreds.
Holy crap seriously? Is Evan like 9 feet tall then? They're SO far apart. I always assumed she was like 5'2 and he was 6'6 or something. He must seriously be pushing 7 feet.
@@MrCbjennings Nah, he's about 6'4 or so. It's kinda hard to notice exact differences but I'm 6'6" and know a fair amount of women around 5'7" or so and it's about the same difference. Edit: Found it in an FAQ, he's 6'5", so yeah I was almost spot on!
I'm at 0:59 and I need to pause to tell you that, YES, IF YOU WERE WONDERING, I would watch every SINGLE episode of a Buy vs. DIY series. It's knowledge I constantly need in my life and I'm suddenly astounded more people haven't done it.
Yes! This came up in my recommended; I've never seen this channel before but I'm subscribing just in case there's more of this because...YES. I AM THE PERSON REFERENCED IN THE INTRO.
I figured out what my favorite thing is about watching your videos. It's the fact that you both contribute to / share the work & are a real team. Katelyn isn't just standing around being booth babe eye candy (or Evan if hey that's your thing lol) like some other channels. Your general attitude would be a close second. You have fun and don't get all cranky or go *Hulk smash* when things don't go according to plan the first time. You two are adorkable. Thank you for making videos for us to enjoy.
This is exactly what I was thinking...bare minimum they should have painted the inside (or the whole thing) a paler color so the LED colors showed more pure.
I think that's the stain and wood combo they used paired with the colored LED's. If they had gotten a (cheaper) light-colored wood and stain, you wouldn't get the 80's vibe.
I can't stand when people cheat with anything it's rediculous. I know this is all for good clean fun but seriously don't be cheaters. It's just a pet peeve of mine honestly for some not criticism but honest feedback. I make things for my cat all the time and because I believe it has my scent on it from me putting it together verse something that I purchased at a store he naturally gravitates toward it more. I love this idea of a series though 🙂. Great job guys!
I love how you guys do the same things (“I can make that!”), and I actually caught my cat watching when you had yours inspecting your work. (Think your cat but pure white).
“This is less expensive than this” yeah well.... I made a gate/fence yesterday and only had a hand saw (not electric) to cut the wood and the whole time I was thinking “if only Evan and Katelyn could be my neighbors, my life would be so much easier!”. But y’all should be happy to know that apart from my arms hurting like death and my finger being a casualty of the hammer, the fence held upright! Thanks guys so much for giving me the inspiration needed to start my first ever building project!
The light might look better because the little lamp is a lighter wood inside. If you whitewashed the inside of your lamp, the lights would look different. You did a great job.
One of these days can you guys please make a cat tree/condo! Everything you guys make always end up looking so cool! I've been trying to look for some good DIY cat trees cause you know, store-bought ones are so fugly
Have seen some stuff years ago on diy cat furniture. If you do build, one source is see if you can get the big cardboard tube carpet comes on. The tutorial that I am recalling, he cut it in half. It's thick enough to screw into, and you just glue carpet to it for the supervisor to relax on.
Resin time! Little late to the game but if nobody's thought of it yet I think a foggy resin piece on top would be nice an a semi see thru for the front. That way you hide the lights and can still see the wood grain.
ok but can you actually do a tutorial for that little shelf from Target, because i've walked by it like 6 times but i cannot afford two shelves that small at like $40 each :')
You could wrap the insides full of lights the fill it with an opaque resin that might make it look cool and give it way more structure so it isnt just relying on glue.
For straighter cuts with a jigsaw we really like the T142HB blade. It's much deeper than a typical jigsaw blade and is made for straight cuts! We used it in place of a circular saw for the longest time!
I fast forwarded through your hello fresh segment, and it seemed like there was cat in one shot, and then no cat, and then food. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE CAT??
Fast Forwarded through an Evan & Katelyn video!?!? Beep boop beep. Does not compute! I’ve only rewound their videos because I was laughing so hard I missed a bit. Lol
Thats how they make money to bring us this awesome content :(. I don't like ads either, but E&K at least make them none intrusive and they feel like part of the video.
I love the aestetics of your lamp. Since these lamps are more for decoration and background lighting, the intense white light is bad. I am also very fond of wood, and the white finish of the bought lamp makes it look like it might as well have been made of plastic (and not the fancy kind). Seeing the wood grain in that coloured light was beautiful.
This needs to be a monthly ongoing series of videos. I like this concept of crafting an item you see but sometimes the cost can get out there. Please more!!
I think that yours would have looked better if the wood had been less grainy like maple or pine. Even painting the inside a solid white, cream, or Ivory color would have reflected the light better and may have looked brighter. Just an observation! Homemade is ALWAYS better than store bought, in my opinion. Keep up the great work! I would love to see more of this type of video. As always ... Have a better day!
Several things to make it match more similarly: Light to be stronger / have more lumens or watts, you could even wrap the LED back to back to make it a longer strip so the light projects more intensely. Lighter wood reflects light better, so it also appears brighter
I think one of those diffusing sheets of plastic could add a lot to your diy lamp, it would make the light softer and more evenly spread. Plus if you put on over the top too you can hide the sight of the led strips inside.
For making LEDS (with a silicone top layer) you can either paint on a light layer of either a white paint or a white glue that drys white. The white layer of white will disperse the light coming out of the LED to flatten out the lighting.
Anyone else loves how in the buy vs diy intro Evan is like I WANT THIS and Katelyn has to be the rational one saying no so they just immediately get out tools
Tip, with the angle for the table saw you can put a thin piece of wood in for the channel and then screw another piece on top of that at the angle you need. It'll only be for that one angle but it will work for what you need.
I've fallen down a puzzle box/ secret compartment box rabbit hole lately and now I need to see my favorite makers come up with one! You could even both make separate ones and try to solve each others!
Evan: sees something cool on the Internet. Katelyn: we can make that. Evan: sees something cool on the Internet. Katelyn: we can make that. Evan: sees a cool car. Katelyn: we can make that.
Love this!!! Yes more Buy vs DIY videos please! I agree that having the workshop set up and easy to use (unlike my hot mess of tools and supplies) cuts down on the hours - I love seeing some real life DIY time estimates though! That can be so hard to predict
@@oddjobkia A phone controlled robotic Minecraft Tesla, cast in cement from a 3D printed mold, and painted with dyed resin spin art! With cat logos on the side!
The most important factor to consider on things like this is that you can make it EXACTLY like you want it. Consider how much the person you are buying it from would charge is you could customize it. That is when the prices REALLY go up.
Something to try! Go to goodwill (or craigslist) for old LCD or LED monitors for the light diffusers! You could make a lamp with RGV lights and diffuse them for a more natural look. DIY Perks has a great video on it.
The little one would be great for a night stand as it gives off good light and won't take up a lot of space. While the big one would be awesome for a living room or gaming room to create some mood lighting and a chill vibe.
paint the inside white, and maybe add a little diffusion material along the opening and the top... this would also be pretty cool as a 5 foot floor lamp
That's true, so I guess it depends on what you'd be doing with this time otherwise. If your DIY time is replacing relaxing/fun time no big deal, but if the DIY time is replacing work time it's a bigger factor.
I like your angle better, I think the extra height shows it better. Although I love your colored LEDs, I agree the purchased one has a better white. Love you guys!❤️
You dont need a jig to do a taper like that. If you take a scrap piece of wood and put it between the blade and the fence, then you can use the blue painters tape/CA glue trick. Put tape on the scrap piece and on the back side of your piece you are using. CA glue on the tape and line up your cut line to the straight edge of the scrap piece. Then you can just run it through.
That's true, I guess if you're someone who does DIY for fun (ie, it's replacing time you'd spend doing other leisure activities) the hourly labor isn't really a factor, but if you'd normally be using those hours to work then yes it's a big factor
@@EvanAndKatelyn - the hourly labour that went into making the cheap one off ebay is within its cost, making yours in material alone, much more expensive.

You should have painted the inside of yours with a glossy white.
Yeah I feel that would help more then "better" lights inside. The drawback for me is defo the wood strips on the inside ^^
Glossy white would be too much, the other lamp has the benefit of a being a much lighter wood
I actually kinda like the wood grain texture with the light
@@ecophreak1 I agree, it made me like theirs more.
Was going to suggest the same thing. White on the inside would definitely make it much brighter. The amazon lamp just relied on the light wood.
I love how the supervisor doesn’t care about any of the lamps
She loved our lamp! I could see it in her whiskers!
@@EvanAndKatelyn wasnt there a treat inside of it. lol
I think painting the inside white would make the lights look so much brighter
Ah true! That could look cool
Or, stain as usual but whitewash the inside. The oak changes the color of the light.
I figured out what my favorite thing is about watching your videos. It's the fact that you both contribute to / share the work & are a real team. Katelyn isn't just standing around being booth babe eye candy (or Evan if hey that's your thing lol) like some other channels. Your general attitude would be a close second.

We're all about teamwork! ❤️
Love that ya'll aren't afraid to show the mistakes. Keep up the great work.
❤️❤️
why didnt you turn off the light to see the color and what looks more cool in the dark?
I was waiting for them to do that.
Grimsoul Blackheart me too, i waited til the very end, i was like who doesnt test a LAMP in the dark 😂
bcz they would have lost bcz of warmer light the other one has
I am a very calm person but this made me very angry
Yeah I was waiting for it the whole time too... :D
7:57 “oh, so flush, so minimal” i felt that
😂❤️
If you shine white LEDs against a darker wood, it's not going to look white. Use a lighter wood.
Or cover the inside in something reflective.
Or paint inside
Honestly if they just painted it white instead of shellacking it’d be way better light and colors
True. But the LEDs that they bought did not have a pure white LED, so their RGB mixed white isn’t going to look like pure white.
This is exactly what I was thinking...bare minimum they should have painted the inside (or the whole thing) a paler color so the LED colors showed more pure.
evan and katelyn: we can make that
also evan and katelyn: *still buys the actual product anyways*
The diy one looks like it’s from the 80’s while the store-bought looks more modern and ethereal.
i thought the exact same thing! the color of the wood/colored lights of the diy one totally give it an 80s/90s feel
I think that's the stain and wood combo they used paired with the colored LED's. If they had gotten a (cheaper) light-colored wood and stain, you wouldn't get the 80's vibe.
Yeah, as much as oak is a nice wood, it will forever make me think of 80's and 90's furniture and cabinets. With the rounded corners on everything...
If Claire from Bon Appetite came on E&K that would be great and hilarious
That would be the best!

The way Evan looked at Katelyn near the start 🥰🥰

Loved this! I'd enjoy this as a series. But that freehand jigsaw . . . so much anxiety!!
Thanks! Haha it gave me anxiety too 😬

You could have use the offset of the angled piece as a spacer and taped/clamped it while the glue dried.
Resin time! Little late to the game but if nobody's thought of it yet I think a foggy resin piece on top would be nice an a semi see thru for the front. That way you hide the lights and can still see the wood grain.

Might want to change the name of this "series". " Buy or DIY" is already a series on RUclips.
Love this idea though. 👍
I think there are a few series out there by that name (one on HGTV too) so we thought we'd try "vs" instead of "or" but we're open to changing it!
Alex Marrone I like this title 😅
if this becomes a series can it be called “should i buy or diy?”
Pronounced as "should I buy or do I why?". Which makes no sense, but sounds funny.
Buy vs diy
Tip, with the angle for the table saw you can put a thin piece of wood in for the channel and then screw another piece on top of that at the angle you need. It'll only be for that one angle but it will work for what you need.
I think the diy is the best. Not only is it taller and cheaper but I like how the grain of the wood stands out.
Ooh, I'd love a floor lamp sized version of that. Time to learn woodworking

You dont need a jig to do a taper like that. If you take a scrap piece of wood and put it between the blade and the fence, then you can use the blue painters tape/CA glue trick. Put tape on the scrap piece and on the back side of your piece you are using. CA glue on the tape and line up your cut line to the straight edge of the scrap piece. Then you can just run it through.
Yours is a lot more expensive though.
Hourly wage was excluded...
That's true, I guess if you're someone who does DIY for fun (ie, it's replacing time you'd spend doing other leisure activities) the hourly labor isn't really a factor, but if you'd normally be using those hours to work then yes it's a big factor
@@EvanAndKatelyn - the hourly labour that went into making the cheap one off ebay is within its cost, making yours in material alone, much more expensive.
I think can make it within 20 $
Aye but the labour for the Amazon one probably only cost 25p/hour
@@026coops And compared to E&K's hourly labour, where does it come down to? That was my point.
Soo
Is the Tesla gonna happen orrrr
