Katelyn you look so cute in that flannel tee combo!
I love you guys!!
Petition to have Evan and Katelyn collab with TKOR
S-o cool
I love that Evan thought putting the bag on a high shelf because "you're too short" would stop you 😂 he should know by now that short people are 10x more squirrely than average people, and we can and will climb anything necessary to get what we want!
Katelyn really isn't even short, Evan is just very tall.
@@amcal88 that's true too lol Evan is SO tall
he really should have known better
@@EvanAndKatelyn Can I just say that I love how playful you guys are with each other

E and K: Sarcastically jokes about using a wooden base for a flammable candle
Also E and K: Builds a wooden base for a flammable candle
TWICE
They put a base in the candle, and set it on a wooden square
I was looking for this comment😂
I was more wondering if they cleaned any treatment layers off the metal. I think the wood would be moot compared to what was happening by the time it ngot nto nfull blastn tho.
@@Ace-nq4cp please a doctor... I think you had a stroke while typing the end of your comment 😂 lol
@@mherrmann81687 Oh jeeze. Thank you for the concern.
I recoverd from the stroke, but I have no idea what I was attempting to say. Don't comment on videos with a strobe light running kiddos.
I expected Katlyn to add the poop spray as a scent without Evan knowing 🤣
Same 😂
At that point,
On that scale,
With that much smoke,
That is just a straight-up act of terrorism.
Fr though
That sounds...suicidal; the smell was bad through two bags; imagine adding the whole bottle of it to a campfire candle and it goes up in that column of smoke
I thought she was going to add 1 or 2 Drops
When I was a teenager, my friend and I thought it would be a great idea to go outside and light 100 tealight candles all at once. The wax fused together and created a flame that burned a hole in the shadecloth of the patio. Thanks for reminding me of the folly of my youth hahahaha
A tip for valentines day. A strawberry scented candle can be romantic, a thousand wick strawberry scented candle will be a thousand times more romantic.

Not sure if I am the only one to notice. But the metal container was advertised as galvanized. Which means that there is a chance that the smoke was due to burning the zinc. Hope you both are okay.
Zinc smkoe is yellowish white if I remember correctly. The black smoke is soot - so carbon from the burning wax
Evan and Katelyn's content just went from being resin DIYS to just purely chaos
Yes and I love it
It's the natural evolution.
As It Should.
They remind me of TKOR when Callie and Nate hosted
I desperately need an update from Katelyn on Evan’s reactions to the poop spray heist.
Same
Haha we talk about it in the Patreon/CZcams Members Aftershow (like a little podcast we record after every project)
@@EvanAndKatelyn where do I find that? Also I absolutely love you guys❤
I wish Katelyn would have sprayed the poop spray in the wax😂
@@blakedawson4339 That would have been a funny/awesome/awful-smelling surprise, but I agree.
That's the John Wick of the candle world!

that took me a while..

The continuous cut to the footage of the burning house is peak comedy 😂
If you're planning a second iteration, it will be immensely easier to place actual candles instead of individual wicks. Space them as desired and optionally fill the void with additional wax.
“It’s not optimized” is the best thing Evan has said in this whole video
After watching this a second time with my sister, I have some thoughts for BIG Candle mark 2.
1) there is specialized glue for candle wicks that won't melt when you pour the wax in. It keeps them from floating up when you pour the wax in.
2) it may be actually easier to hand place the wicks, but use a jig to mark where to place each one with colored powder. This is commonly used to marking sewing pattern edges.
3) different candle wicks have different melt radiuses, so you could make a super wide candle by spacing out the wicks more and utilizing their melt radiuses.
4) definitely make it poop scented.
The candle base is wood so just leave the jig in there??
@@ohshititscrit that was my thought.. use 2 jigs.. leave the 1 at the base.. pull the 2nd to the top to use as the wick holder for the tips.. when pouring the wax..
One thing I was thinking of, some people use the candle wax itself on the wick to stick it down. I guess it wouldn't work on the thousand wick scale though...
spacing out the candle wicks might even make more of an inferno at the beginning because each wick would have more access to oxygen
@@sassycassygPerfect
10:53 to 12:36 was the absolute hardest I have laughed in YEARS. I was CRYING. I couldn't BREATHE. I feel like I've done a full ab workout or something. ohh, laughing that hard hurt so much. I managed to calm down a little and then Katelyn revealed that she knew the whereabouts of the spray and Evan's incredulous "YOU'VE KNOWN ?!!?!?" had me rolling on the floor all over again. MAN that was funny !
the fire was beautiful while it burned and that slowmo of putting it out was GORGEOUS. I'd say that this project is an absolute win :D
I would love to see you guys make a dipped and carved candle. Those things are gorgeous and you guys could get so creative.
Seeing this candle trajectory, I bet it's only a matter of time until Evan and Katelyn experiments with making a fire tornado with box fans.
Please no
@@LilianaKali what's the worst that could happen?
@ChumbawumbaSean
Homeowner: "My house!"
Don't give them ideas!!
Be very careful with boiling wax fires, they pretty much the same as an oil fire, so don't use water to extinguish it. With your lid you had the right idea. But you always should have an fire extinguisher handy that is suitable for oil fires. And monitor it until its cooled down, because such an fire can reignite pretty fast.
It will keep you even warmer with rain.
On their patreon they did mention that they had the fire snuffer as well as a fire extinguisher! But this is a good PSA for everyone watching.
I was thinking do add water, I mean a huge fireball was kind of the idea here, no?
Would have to drop it safety from a distance or something though...
There's a fire extinguisher in a lot of the shots, and it's clearly in reach as they put the lid on. I don't think they'd do this without several ways to put it out safely. :)
This video made me so sad :( I hope one of the millions of people who watch these videos doesn’t try this fun and cool DIY wildfire device. E & K are usually so serious about safety and setting a good example!
Hi! I’m a chandler (candle maker) and I can explain what happened when the wicks “disappeared”. It’s not actually the wax that’s on fire! The wax is evaporating rapidly, and what’s fueling the candle at that point is actually the fragrance! The fragrance blends are often oil, alcohol, and other flammable materials. It looks like your fire actually burned the wicks faster than the wax could melt at the start & that’s why they disappeared. Love a good campfire candle though!
Kinda’ obvious common sense, and I’m not a candle maker.
So you're saying that the 15ml of fragrance they added is the main fuel of such a huge fire? Makes zero sense.
Why would you think that? The more logical explanation is that it's just like a normal candle. The wax gets hot enough to evaporate and that gas is what's burning.
You said yourself that the wax is evaporating rapidly. So makes zero sense to me why you think it's the fragrance??
I doubt the amount of fragrance is making that much fire, but the most common wax is paraffin wax, which is flammable (It doesn't light very easily, which is why most tealights don't do this, but this is 1000 wicks)
@KenzieSings143 You might want to do some research on your “Hobby”. Candle wax (Paraffin wax) is most defiantly very flammable, it just doesn’t ignite until roughly 400-500 degrees F.
You don't think PARAFFIN wax is flammable? Somebody needs to go back to candle school.
I absolutely love how they went from small trinkets and life hacks to these chaotic creations. Never stop please.
Anyone else think Evan and Katelyn demonstrate solid relationship goals? Teamwork, Communication, Problem Solving, Love and Kindness... WITH AS MUCH CHAOS AND MAYHEM AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!
Yes, I have thought that and I agree they are so great together
CHAOS EVAN HAS RETURNED!!! Oh, and everyone welcome CHAOS KATELYN!!!
My hubby and I relate a lot to their relationship. We have a very similar dynamic
At least in what we see on screen. For all we know they might not even be in a relationship
@xXAMighty StormXx they're literally married? Like wth?
I just love how Katelyn became a cat in this one and really wanted to take the poop spray out of the trashcan and Evan had to human her and be like " NOOO" 😂
12:50 I think we all wish we had a relationship like the one Evan and Katelyn have
This project was lit.
And the final result is just wicked.
*heavy sigh*
They essentially made an oil drum and were surprised that it got hot 😅😅 brilliant
The editing killed me on this one yet again. The word "professionalism" being karate chopped by Evan
Yes 🤣🤣🤣
One thing I love about your projects and videos is that you always have problems. You're realistic about them, and show how to solve them, as someone who is just getting into crafting and my own 3d printing/resin/laminating projects not only do you inspire me, but seeing you go through so many of your own problems helps me not give up. I've been watching you for years and just wanted to say thanks for your content and inspiration :)
I love the pure chaos from Kaitlyn in this project regarding the poop spray! It really shows just how perfect the dynamic between both Evan and Kaitlyn really is and I am in LOVE with it! I love how your energy brightens my day! I just need to watch some of your videos to destress after some of my more-stressful college classes/coursework, and I instantly feel better as I join in on Even’s cute chaos chant when he’s “doin’ a chaos”😂❤
Evan&Katelyn : "We should not use wood in our candle because it will become a fire hazard !"
Also Evan&Katelyn : "We will make a base out of wood for our candle !"
Love it 😂😂
It's contained within the metal pan. However, candle of this size is fire hazard in itself, it's basically a campfire, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
@@voidseeker4394 Galvanized steel should not be heated up, it could lead to heavy metal poisoning
@@The_AntiVillain isn't it a cookware container they are using? What you are saying applies to zinc-plated steel only, and i haven't seen zinc-plated food-grade containers for a very long time for that exact reason. Their container is probably stainless steel, not zinc-plated one.
@@voidseeker4394 the listing reads, "Galvanized Steel Drain Pan", sooo....
this was such a great video. The editing is always on point but it just really had me laughing for the entire video, the rave montages, the mystery of the poop spray being solved, the sneaky retrieval from the trash bag... not to mention the fear of the final result and relief that nothing bad happened!!
thank you!
Math! 😂
I agree with you, L S
This is the first channel of a YT couple that seems nice and genuine, I could watch more of this. Good Video!
I kept waiting for 'and this is the moment they knew...' Voice over. 😂good job guys
You guys should try your hand at hyperrealistic cake decorating next! Love you guys!
YEEESSSSSS!!!!
that would be funnnn
it's a toilet except it's actually cake except it's actually resin
I feel a disaster coming
THIS THIS THIS!!! I wanna see you guys make sculptures out of sugar and stuff!
The segment where Evan was struggling to say "come let’s sit together and watch the wax melt." And trying to keep katelyn from getting the poop spray had me tear up from laughing so hard 😂😂. It reminded me of the crazy antics with me and my husband.
I, one time as a 10 year old, built a fort out in the woods. I was going to sleep in it and wanted some light. I took about 20 candles for light. I put the candles in a pan I found. I light them all at once. I was surprised at how much heat they put out. I then realized it was the wax that was on fire and not the wicks. I tried to blow it out with no success. I almost burnt the fort down and may or may not have spilled some of it on my shoe and had to walk back with one shoe on. I learned how candles worked that day. Also, I learned the do and do nots.
Hi guys, I just want you both to know that you have helped me more than you’ll ever know. Recently, I’ve had horrible anxiety to where it was hard to function and your videos have helped me crawl out of a dark space. I love how wholesome and educational your content is but also your love and respect you show each other. Thank you both for being yourself. ❤️
This "make it BIG" phase is the best! I love it
as a candle maker myself, i am scared and mesmarized at the same time.. excited to hear you're planning to create a version 2 with a more functional one. would recommend spacing each wick about 2-3 inches apart. cant wait
This could backfire (ba-dum-tss). Overheated parafin is no joke. Spacing out the wicks could distribute the heat more (which would be good) but it also could allow more oxygen in (which would let the wicks burn hotter)
In the end there will be burning liquid wax and the wicks won't matter anyway
Somehow whenever I feel bad in some way I find myself watching these two. Right now I’m probably close to a minor panic attack plus some minor pain in my legs right now but watching these two makes me feel better. Right now I’m scared to get off my bed so I’m just waiting until I fall asleep so watching these two helps me feel comfortable enough to actually go to sleep
Absolutely loved this, but a word of caution, galvanized steel let's off toxic zinc fumes when heated. You did it outside (which, given the application was sort of necessary) but if anyone tried a smaller scale version and tried lighting it indoors it can be deadly
Katelyn going full gremlin mode was hilarious! 🤣
4:33 when Katelyn giggles like that, you know it is going to be a great episode. thank you for sharing
Out of all of your videos, this one made me the most nervous. There have been cases of candles exploding due to the outside heating faster than the inside. This is a lot bigger and way hotter than those.
Glad it went well and looked great!
You both should get in the guiness world record book for this . Well done 👏🏻
Katelyn with that poop spray is the same as my mom, "We might eventually find a use for it so don't through it away!"
That's my dad with tech bits and computer hardware! He has computers and components from decades ago gathering dust in our basement - like half of our basement storage room is just his old tech. And he won't throw any of it away! Although tbf the one time he did try to e-waste some of it I rescued the device and stashed it myself, so.
Lol that’s my motto for the random stuff I have.
Don't forget we already know Katelyn loves her box full of boxes and bag full of bags
You mean "things people say due to obsessive-compulsive disorder" type that manifests itself in hoarding? No. No, that's not it. That's definitely not what Katelyn is doing. (no sarcasm)
Putting this on a cake would be insane! The candle is bigger than most cakes.
it would definitely squish a cake haha
@@EvanAndKatelyn just need to make a big enough cake
@@EvanAndKatelyn Okay, but reinforce the cake with wooden planks instead of dowels. I wanna see y'all try to make and decorate an enormous cake.
13:57 Yay! They made a familiar reference!!!🎉😊
as an art student struggling to draw fire, i find myself time and again coming back to this video because it has so much excellent reference footage lol

Katelyn should have a spa day with her weird candles, giant candle, weird soaps,bath bombs, and lovely velvet nails
I love the beeg stuff phase. I’m also looking forward to the itty bitty phase 🎉
The chaos, the size, the flame… it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life.
Putting that on top of the shelf reminded me of my parents engagement story. They'd been living together for a few years and one day Dad was just like hey do you want to get engaged and Mom was like YES. So he got the engagement ring down from a high shelf because he is tall and she is short, and then they went on with their day. Dad sucks at romance but he loves Mom SO much and is always there for her so it's okay
Thank you so much for the note with how much this weighs in kg! As a non-american this is really helpful for the next time I'm thinking of ordering an 1000 wick candle online 🥰🥰
Yes! As a Brit, this will be VERY helpful when I’m thinking of doing this absolutely completely totally legal thing
It would be so cool if you guys tried doll repainting!! You could make the hair and clothes as well!
I love that they're already planning on making a second giant candle lol, please do!!! It would be so much fun to watch!!
If they do they're very unlikely to do it on the main channel. They rarely repeat videos because I think repeat videos tend to get less views, and they already have so many new ideas they want to get to! But it would be cool to see another big candle, I feel like if they were to do it, it would be on their second channel.
love how katelyn was so excited about making a chemical weapon
You should try using a cake pan they come in massive sizes for wedding cakes and would be the same proportions as a tea light
Katelyn being an entire lil goblin over poop spray is honestly a mood
It's actually impossible to watch any of your videos without a huge smile on my face😂
I love that when placing the wicks Evan started in the middle 😂 and Kaitlyn was methodical starting on one end.
10:55 This was way more funny without context. Just Evan shouting "Its the POOP!"
Y’all are so chaotic and I am here for it!! ❤😂
I have to constantly remind myself that Katelyn is "normal" size and Evan is a giant to comprehend the scale of things like at 4:02
How big is Evan actually?
Evan is 6ft 5in
your energy together is amazing. Had to pause the video to get tell you how wonderful you are. I've had quite the anxiety ridden day and your video has me genuinely smiling and giggling!! The whole poop spray thing has me dying I love it ❤❤
I am having a terrible day and seeing that you guys have uploaded brought a smile to my face. Thank you guys for what you do.
Katelyns laugh while getting the poop spray just made my whole day
I kinda thought that Evan would have taken the poo out of the bag and hidden it while behind the chopsaw so that she _wouldn't_ find it in the trashbag
Evan and Katelyn's slow descent into (safety-conscious) pyromania has been a wonderful journey to see.
Safety Adjacent with Evan and Katelyn
The amount of work you put it into these videos is insane
The editing is always my favorite part of your videos
the fact that they didn't level it before lighting is very on brand.
Yes.
U know what's funny... brand is the german word for fire
@@Clybielike That's interesting! I thought you were teasing, actually.
@@debbieholoquist2059 It's the Swedish word for it too. Can confirm they are not joking. :)
This channel is the perfect blend of explorative engineering and DiWhy and I am HERE for it.
calm down steve urkel
that candle aftermath hit right in the trypophobia 'nope' square for me
*demons*
Whilst you were searching for a container, I was staring at the PC thinking you need to make replacement panels out of resin or velvet, or even the mood paint on the PC case, those would look so cool, and once you have a mould you can make loads of different panels for it, with loads of different ideas. Also a Joob front panel so its just Joob lit up by LED's
i wasnt worried when the flames got high and the basin holding the candles started bleeding black ichor. i started worrying when you started adding wood and baby powder and glue and plastics to keep the wicks down
Chaos Evan and Dark Katelyn at it again!
Oh, and if you ever do this again I'd double stack the wick plate so you can hold the base of the wicks down then raise the second one up to keep them straight.
Yall gave me the great idea to make candles with my dad for his birthday. He loved it and wants to make more now. thank you for the idea!
You’re videos are so good I just save your videos to my watch later knowing it’s good ❤
Seeing you two roasting marshmallows over a giant 1000+ wick candle reminds me of that time my sisters and I cranked the baseboard heater in our room and made smores over it... Ahh, childhood.... And yes, they did taste a bit dusty.
12:05 today we learned who the REAL chaos gremlin is
This was way more complicated, informational and interesting that I thought it would be.
You 2 are the absolute best!
I love how, as you guys take out the candles, there’s a giggle of nervousness that steadily increases 😂😂
13:19 Evan using his height as a shield to get rid of the poop spray, is the funniest thing, KATELYN WHY KEEP IT 😫😫
Also, ngl, I could use that candle with the current snowy weather we’re getting in MARCH in England. 😌
btw thank you so much for always having captions for the whole video! I appreciate it so much ❤
I love how Evan just chucked the whole trash bag up there.
Yes a follow-up. With many of the suggestions incorporated
I was recently gifted a candle-making kit because I added one to my wishlist after watching your first candle video forever ago!! I am so excited to make a cursed candle, you have NO IDEA.
We make tiny stoves out of Beens cans and tea light candles with my scouts, I kinda want to see a version of that with the BIG candle.
This is the most practically impractical campfire and I'm living for it.
at 13:01 i rewatched that segment so many times i am crying that was so much funnier than it needed to be
"Could you imagine though, an 18-inch column of flame shooting up?" the pyromaniac in me loves this already
The editing in this one was sublime. When the "professional" was physically and metaphorically struck down. 10/10
Lol, such shenanigans!
The editing--all those extra words on screen--added so much
I absolutely love y’all! Y’all make why day brighter. I would love to have a relationship as good as y’all’s relationship. Keep up the awesome vids!❤
Too cute, you guys. You've gotten really good at editing, Katelyn. The full moon in the shot at the end was perfect.
The poop bottle thing had me dying. I’m sickly right now but this video made me feel just a tad bit better 😊
Part of me was wondering if they would pour the bottle into the giant candle.
Can't wait for more candle videos because it's hilarious every single time 🤣
Oh my god you made an instant pot grease fire. The slow-mo is perfect. I hope no one touched that for A WHILE after you put it out. Thank goodness you had that massive fire pit available.
