Thank You also 'Craftsman' love your humor & theatrical charm "right there-right there"... Hello to 'Craft Momma' too (name, cracks me up). 4:20 am & best way possible to chill out & learn a new trick & meet your little characters...MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY!!!
"Crafsmama"! lol! That's sweet! You've created a world for us all - a creative, 'safe' and happy world full of lovable characters... Not many can say that, Mr. Crafsman! Thanks and God bless!
This is an absolutely wonderful comment, my friend. I'm so appreciative of people like you checking out my little videos, and taking a moment to let me know how you feel about what I do. It means so much.
@@TheCrafsMan I'm definitely a fan of "Crafsmama" over the standard "Mrs. _______" that most channels use. Also a big fan of the puppet. Makes it feel like the puppet is really doing the whole video, which feels more fun somehow. I just imagine the puppet behind the camera, lol
WHOA!!! I never knew that's what that hole in the handle did! nor did I know that the guide was useful for poking a hole! Crafsman, you just blew my mind! :)
:) Glad to hear it, Dave! It's one of those little things that, had I never seen it done, I still wouldn't know. I always appreciate your comments, my friend.
:( Paul, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. We have a few pets ourselves, and they become like family. I feel for you, my friend. Knowing I helped you smile and brought a little joy is a very, very big deal to me.
Today was one of the worst days I've had in a long time and hearing ur soothing voice was exactly what I needed to cheer me up! Thank u Mr. Craftsman c:
Yanz, I'm sorry you had a bad day. I do seriously hope the next ones begin to look better for you, my friend. SO glad my little video helped! This does my heart good, so thank you for taking time to tell me this.
I heard a song the other day that made your channel come to mind! The song was 'Alligator Stroll' performed by Josh Turner. Cute song...it sums up how I feel when I watch your videos... Strolling along and laughing with a trusted friend, as he talks about all the cool stuff he loves, and is making! You and your CrafsMama are national treasures! I can no longer resist subscribing!
Your voice is a stress reliever! My heart rate went from 90 to 72 in 8.3 seconds. If I'm about to have an anxiety attack, I'll just come back here and watch your videos. So therapeutic ☺
Ha! I'll keep that in mind. I'll need to figure out a way to embed the little eyes into their squishy-squish little heads better, because with this current style, they can straight pop out. Thank you for watching!
Haha...It looks Iike a "Ding Ding"! LOL! I've got a few of these stress releiving squishy Ding Dings and even bought my Gfriends at work one. Can we make a mold out of something already squishy to replicate the "Ding Ding" I already have? LOL!
**sigh of relief** that voice is a Mitch Hedberg sound-a-like, so refreshing to hear and from a cool character such as yourself, its a shame i havent found this place sooner
Love the videos! “He comes out I can’t see what is this place?” Loved this, I actually laughed out loud. So great after a crappy day. This little guy is so cute
First, Crafsman voice is so relaxing. I love it. Second, this is fantastic. Low budget experimentation that we can easily do ourselves. No $50 brush required.
@@TheCrafsMan Thank YOU for trying stuff I woulda never thought of! I found you with your wood transferring video and I've been in love since, man! Keep doing you!
I figured out the Crafsman's true identity; he is Fred, owner of Fred's dollar store. This channel is just to drum up business and to help him move some of his overstocked cornstarch.
Crafsman- I could write a novel about all the ways your videos are so wonderful. But it always comes back to this...you make me happy. Thanks for being the bright light that you are!
@@TheCrafsMan Today i discovered your channel, inmediatley subscribed and have been binge watching all your videos, only disappointment is that there was no tutorial on the puppet...
greetings from southwest england crafsman this is without a doubt my new favorite channel your calm demeanor and dry humor makes me all fuzzy and warm its like being stoned without having to smoke anything and thats gotta be a good thing
Hurray! I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel CrafsMan - each video is so beautifully produced from top to bottom, heartwarming, informative, and laugh out loud funny. A real joy to watch.
You are SO funny!!! To anyone who's found this video, even if you couldn't care less about making molds, you will laugh out loud watching this. I'f you're having a rough day, maybe even a rough week, I highly recommend this. If you DO want to make molds, you've come to the right place. There are hilarious but brilliant tutorials to teach you how to make molds with, for example, corns starch and silicone. The commercial product for making molds on Amazon inItaly costs 40 Euros. Cornstarch and silicone might cost you 40 cents. I subscribed.
That was a lot of fun Crafsman. When I saw you had a new video, I couldn’t wait to watch. Great mold making tips. I used to use a couple of these techniques to make small parts for ventriloquist figures I made. Eyes, eyebrows, mouth blocks and components. Really great tips Crafsman. And as always, FUN! Thanks so much. Can’t wait for the next one. Steady Craftin’. :-)
So glad you liked this! And I heard from someone else who makes ventriloquist dummies using this method. Very interesting to me, because I always picture them being out of plastic or wood. But this makes sense!
I'm so sorry to hear that. It is encouraging to know my little videos are able to make you smile during a difficult time. Prayers for peace and comfort to you and your mother.
Oh Crafsman you do make me smile so... You're videos are pure joy. Please don't ever stop... People like you make the world a better place. Love from Scotland 🏴 ♥
My mind was blown too, with the hole in the caulking gun! Hubby has been in construction since before we’ve been married (almost 30 years ago, high school sweethearts lol). I immediately ran to him to see if he knew about it....sadly he did lol!! Always enjoy your videos! TFS ~Linda :)
:) Glad you found that helpful! It's like I told someone else: I only knew about it because I saw someone else do that one time on the job-site. Otherwise, I might still not know. Thank you for watching!
This is a great channel to watch while eating Gyros. Because you not only get to eat a tasty greek dish, but you also get to listen to TheCrafsMan soothing voice.
I like to think that Crafsmama is also a puppet, just a bit sleeker and perhaps a tinge of green. Kind of like the Crafs version Frog to your Toad, as they were my favourite books as a little kid also. I'd like to see you both as the puppets sharing some cookies and looking out at the rain. Love this channel beyond words.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never make a silicone mold. But then I spent so many nights watching your videos thinking how if he could do it so can I. And I grew strong. And I learned how to get along with my silicone!!
Crafsman, you done gone and inspired me to make my own figure and cast copies to paint in my friend's and family's favorite colors as Christmas gifts. Thank you Crafsman ^_^.
Thank you so much for showing us everything we would be fumbling with to learn on our own - if not for you and your videos. You saved me so much time and frustration - and listening to you speak through every video is soothing, comforting, and lifts my spirits. Much better than any psych med I used to take. Yep. TheCrafsMan is everyone's answer to depression, anxiety, and boredom. Love you brother.
It really is. That 1/2 LB of EasyMold was $20. NOW, I'm a big fan of that stuff! BUT, if you're doing a lot of molds... it's just more economical (and cheaper! ;) ) to go with this DIY method. Thank you for watching!
Easy Mold actually works though. Try this method once and you'll see that not only does it give terrible results, the experience is absolutely miserable. It's like a bad crafts meme that won't die. Crafsman gets a -1 for spreading this herpes idea.
Crafsman you definitely entertain,educate and inspire, keep on keepin' crafty. One part Mr. Wizard, one part Mitch Hedberg and a whole lot of Honey...Do you like Honey?
CrafsMama??? Dude, love it! Are there any CrafsKids? Your videos are always useful and just good viewing period! I will probably never do this mold making but I love watching it 😁
Crafsman, I do children's crafts in libraries, and you can do something very similar to this for a kids' science activity! Cornstarch + cheap hair conditioner + food coloring = something that feels very similar to Play-Doh. You don't even need exact ratios, you can just let the kids experiment in a big bowl until it feels right. I think it's really cool that your putty technique works almost the same! Thanks for the great videos as always - I know this is an old one, I'm going back through the archives :)
A great way to end my evening, thanks CrafsMan! I've never made anything from molds except for some candies long ago with my grandmom. I had no idea you could use silicone caulk like that, and I love the squishy at the end. Thanks for sharing your work!
Hello, my friend! Happy you enjoyed this one. And it's a big deal for me to use this method, because it does end up saving a lot of money vs. store-bought specialty mold putty. :D Thank you for watching!
I just gotta thank you so much Crafsman for sharing this video! I went out and got me some 100% silicone - same brand - looks just like the one you got except it had this little "Silicone 2*" at the top! So I went back to the store real quick and got the correct one (type 2). I also grabbed me some of that Amazing Mold Putty too earlier in the day. Here's on thing I'm gonna try and make: Imagine a pair of high-top sneakers, painted the same color green as a circuit board. Then I'm gonna paint gold traces all over them. I'm gonna make me a bunch of ICs, resistors, capacitors etc and I'm gonna go to town on 'em! I feel so inspired, happy and empowered! Thank you for making life a little bit better!
THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL! I was just in Radio Shack a few days ago, reminiscing about how I'd go in there to buy some resistors, LEDs, batter holders, etc. for whatever little project I was working on. So I'm a big fan of your idea! :D
@@TheCrafsMan Thank you so much for your encouragement CrafsMan! Sadly, here in the Pacific Northwest, they've closed down many (most? All?) Radio Shack stores. I guess it's hard for them to turn a profit in today's world.
This is the most wholesome content on RUclips. As a crafter myself the videos are fun and I learn something new with every video. New materials to use, new teaching to utilize. When I watch these late at night I feel very relaxed. Keep on crafting! Keep on making a wonderful difference in people’s lives. ❤️
I may have to release a second handful of those Tim and Agua figures I made before, after the Free-Range Chickens are done. :) Thank you for the interest!
I’ve been looking everywhere for an easier way to make molds instead of constantly buying pricey silicone molds from the craft store This is such a good method I can’t wait to try it out !
CrafsMan, are you going to start selling Tim, or any of your other figures again on your etsy shop? Love your stuff, can't wait for free range chicken to become available.
Thanks for asking! The Free-Range Chickens go for sale on November 7th. I'm hoping to also have enough resin to make a small handful of Tims, and maybe some Aguas. :D
@@TheCrafsMan My dad is a forester and I would love to get him a Tim! I could never make one myself as I am crafs-averse. I really love what you do! Thanks for all the sublime content.
Hey you freak, I’ve watched 10 silicon videos before arriving here. While the others are fine yours is the most entertaining and worth subbing. Thanks for the lesson!
Didn't sleep too well, maybe over excited! ;) Just watched twice in coffee break (extended) Loved it. Can't wait to get some sillicone, and see if my caulk gun is as good as yours. Thank you. @@TheCrafsMan
Hey Patrick! Mannn, thank you for watching! I'm blessed to have had a lot of different people to learn from over the years. My grandparents (on both sides) were into either metalworking or woodworking. My dad and mom were into a variety of things. I had uncles who taught me a lot (one of them may have been more on the illegal side - LOL), and I've had a few different manual labor type jobs where I learned a variety of skills. I appreciate your question!
He trawls other youtube channels for ideas. This is a combination of a Timber Ridge Gifts video and Epbot video, but with better production values. His Free-Range Chicken toymaking is a straight ripoff of Steve Ferrera's channel.
Crafsman, you crack me up every time I watch you! You’re so calming, but funny at the same time! I love your crafts as well! I’m gonna try your silicone mold making recipes to pour resin molds! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDS AND KEEP ON CRAFTIN’!!!!!
You may want to give it a shot. I notice even with the EasyMold putty (which I really like, but which is very pricey), I only have a matter of minutes to use it. It's well-suited for small objects like jewelry and maybe individual parts of a figure, etc. But I'll for sure be doing more DIY putty molds in the future. Thank you for watching!
Just so you know, I had a smile on my face throughout this whole video. My depression has decreased almost 100% from the moment of hello. Thank you CrafsMan.
I love watching your videos! I can always find a video you've made for very crafty project I have wanted to try! From silverware jewelry, to resin crafts with circuit boards (which I was specifically looking for, btw), to how to take good picture of your crafts (the white trashcan worked like a charm!). You do such a great job at explaining things and I love that you show how to things you have around your house as well as the more professional products. Thanks for making these videos!
I’ve seen a lot of different methods on mold making with silicone and I must say this video is the best I’ve seen yet. Thank you so much for all the info. 💕
I love your videos crafsman! The first video I saw was the how to age wood with vinegar. I think you only had 3 videos back then. You are in my top 5 channels. It makes my day when you put a new video up. Very wholesome and innocent. Thanks.
My man, thank you for sticking with me. I used to only be putting a video together every few months or so. Took a lot of motivation for me to get consistent, and y'all BROUGHT the motivation. Never thought I'd be making a video each week, and honestly that only happened because of y'all. Thank you so much. I hope you keep hangin' with me!
Oh wow - this makes me so happy! :) Just thinking I was able to show somebody something that they then went out and used... it's a good feeling for me. Thank you for watching!
This is so great! I love the idea of making little hard figures like yourself but the budget is just too damn high on some of those smooth-on products for a student lifestyle like mine, which is truly a shame. But for now, I can just use these more cost-effective methods to at least make some squishy characters. Thank you so much Crafsman, your videos brighten up every day! Just put some rain sounds on in the background, curl up with some tea, and watch you do some steadycraftin'. That hits the spot.

Me too! *mind blown* Thank you for all the methods and tip tips, Craftsman.
Me either!
I buried my dog today. Seeing a video from TheCrafsMan actually made me smile. Thank you for bringing some joy to a tough day.

Thanks for the great videos as always - I know this is an old one, I'm going back through the archives :)
You made my day.
So glad to hear that! Thank you for watching!
the last part with the squishies were precious! "I can't see...this place is a mess... hello" too cute!
A great way to end my evening, thanks CrafsMan! I've never made anything from molds except for some candies long ago with my grandmom. I had no idea you could use silicone caulk like that, and I love the squishy at the end. Thanks for sharing your work!
Hello, my friend! Happy you enjoyed this one. And it's a big deal for me to use this method, because it does end up saving a lot of money vs. store-bought specialty mold putty. :D Thank you for watching!
I just gotta thank you so much Crafsman for sharing this video! I went out and got me some 100% silicone - same brand - looks just like the one you got except it had this little "Silicone 2*" at the top! So I went back to the store real quick and got the correct one (type 2). I also grabbed me some of that Amazing Mold Putty too earlier in the day. Here's on thing I'm gonna try and make: Imagine a pair of high-top sneakers, painted the same color green as a circuit board. Then I'm gonna paint gold traces all over them. I'm gonna make me a bunch of ICs, resistors, capacitors etc and I'm gonna go to town on 'em! I feel so inspired, happy and empowered! Thank you for making life a little bit better!
THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL! I was just in Radio Shack a few days ago, reminiscing about how I'd go in there to buy some resistors, LEDs, batter holders, etc. for whatever little project I was working on. So I'm a big fan of your idea! :D
@@TheCrafsMan Thank you so much for your encouragement CrafsMan! Sadly, here in the Pacific Northwest, they've closed down many (most? All?) Radio Shack stores. I guess it's hard for them to turn a profit in today's world.
I love this channel!!! Thank you sir!
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you like it. Thank you for watching!
This is the most wholesome content on RUclips. As a crafter myself the videos are fun and I learn something new with every video. New materials to use, new teaching to utilize. When I watch these late at night I feel very relaxed. Keep on crafting! Keep on making a wonderful difference in people’s lives. ❤️
I love this so much, you are magic
So glad! You are too kind!
I'm gonna try this. Your video was very enjoyable. Straight to the point but you still managed to make it whimsical and fun to watch. Great job!
Crafstman has action figures? I need one!
IKR?
I may have to release a second handful of those Tim and Agua figures I made before, after the Free-Range Chickens are done. :) Thank you for the interest!
I’ve been looking everywhere for an easier way to make molds instead of constantly buying pricey silicone molds from the craft store
This is such a good method I can’t wait to try it out !
CrafsMan, are you going to start selling Tim, or any of your other figures again on your etsy shop? Love your stuff, can't wait for free range chicken to become available.
Please, I'd love a little Tim to put on my desk at work(to go with the free range chicken)!
Ooh me too!
Thanks for asking! The Free-Range Chickens go for sale on November 7th. I'm hoping to also have enough resin to make a small handful of Tims, and maybe some Aguas. :D
@@TheCrafsMan My dad is a forester and I would love to get him a Tim! I could never make one myself as I am crafs-averse. I really love what you do! Thanks for all the sublime content.
Hey you freak, I’ve watched 10 silicon videos before arriving here. While the others are fine yours is the most entertaining and worth subbing. Thanks for the lesson!
I enjoyed that so much! 😂😂😂
So glad, Ms. Cassandra! Thank you for watching!
Thank you youtube for recommending this channel. This is really my kind of channel that i could enjoy, love to make model kit and custom figures.
Very kind of you! So glad you landed here at my channel, and hope you continue to enjoy! Thank you!
I know I'll like this but I have to sleep now - but first thing in the morning - I'll be back!
Get you some rest! I'll leave the video up all night and on into the next day. :)
Didn't sleep too well, maybe over excited! ;) Just watched twice in coffee break (extended) Loved it. Can't wait to get some sillicone, and see if my caulk gun is as good as yours. Thank you. @@TheCrafsMan
Oh you are just a breath of fresh air Crafsman!!!!💖💖
Hello, my friend! Always nice to hear from you! You know I appreciate your super kind, encouraging words.
I have to ask: Where did you learn all of this?? You're a walking encyclopedia of craftin. I know your grandmother influenced you, but the rest?
Hey Patrick! Mannn, thank you for watching! I'm blessed to have had a lot of different people to learn from over the years. My grandparents (on both sides) were into either metalworking or woodworking. My dad and mom were into a variety of things. I had uncles who taught me a lot (one of them may have been more on the illegal side - LOL), and I've had a few different manual labor type jobs where I learned a variety of skills. I appreciate your question!
He trawls other youtube channels for ideas. This is a combination of a Timber Ridge Gifts video and Epbot video, but with better production values. His Free-Range Chicken toymaking is a straight ripoff of Steve Ferrera's channel.
Crafsman, you crack me up every time I watch you! You’re so calming, but funny at the same time! I love your crafts as well! I’m gonna try your silicone mold making recipes to pour resin molds! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDS AND KEEP ON CRAFTIN’!!!!!
Hope you have fun with it! Be sure you got some ventilations going! And experiment in small batches with different mixes. :D Thank you for watching!
The Crafts Whisperer
:D Snap! I actually like that name!!!!! Thank you for watching!
That’s amazingly cool, and as always, I could just listen to you talk ALL day!
:D Very kind of you!
When i saw this i thought about ordering putty
You may want to give it a shot. I notice even with the EasyMold putty (which I really like, but which is very pricey), I only have a matter of minutes to use it. It's well-suited for small objects like jewelry and maybe individual parts of a figure, etc. But I'll for sure be doing more DIY putty molds in the future. Thank you for watching!
Just so you know, I had a smile on my face throughout this whole video. My depression has decreased almost 100% from the moment of hello. Thank you CrafsMan.
I love watching your videos! I can always find a video you've made for very crafty project I have wanted to try! From silverware jewelry, to resin crafts with circuit boards (which I was specifically looking for, btw), to how to take good picture of your crafts (the white trashcan worked like a charm!). You do such a great job at explaining things and I love that you show how to things you have around your house as well as the more professional products. Thanks for making these videos!
They look like lil Craftsman baby’s lol 🤣
HAHAHA! :D Thank you for watching, my friend the Czech M888888!
I’ve seen a lot of different methods on mold making with silicone and I must say this video is the best I’ve seen yet. Thank you so much for all the info. 💕
Hello crafts man how you doing ?
Hello! Doing really well, my friend. Just busy busy! :)
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen, I’ve never seen you but your the sweetest man I’ve ever met
Every time I see you posted a video my day instantly gets better!
:) I appreciate that, Jacob! So glad.
This was the most calming thing in the world
I love your videos crafsman! The first video I saw was the how to age wood with vinegar. I think you only had 3 videos back then. You are in my top 5 channels. It makes my day when you put a new video up. Very wholesome and innocent. Thanks.
My man, thank you for sticking with me. I used to only be putting a video together every few months or so. Took a lot of motivation for me to get consistent, and y'all BROUGHT the motivation. Never thought I'd be making a video each week, and honestly that only happened because of y'all. Thank you so much. I hope you keep hangin' with me!
This has to be the most relaxing channel on youtube
I really love your voice, and your tutorials are very easy to absorb into my brain. Thankyou!
I've never seen you before, and this was thee most entertaining, least annoying instructional! You even made me laugh on several occasions!
Seeing this video made my day! Was working on casting a part for a project ive been working on, I only did it because of your videos teaching me how!
Oh wow - this makes me so happy! :) Just thinking I was able to show somebody something that they then went out and used... it's a good feeling for me. Thank you for watching!
Mr. CrafsMan, I could listen to your voice all day long.....
I know this is an old video, but the little Crafsman Show jingle made me squeal in joy.
This is the best tutorial i have found about making Silicon Clay!
This is so great! I love the idea of making little hard figures like yourself but the budget is just too damn high on some of those smooth-on products for a student lifestyle like mine, which is truly a shame. But for now, I can just use these more cost-effective methods to at least make some squishy characters. Thank you so much Crafsman, your videos brighten up every day! Just put some rain sounds on in the background, curl up with some tea, and watch you do some steadycraftin'. That hits the spot.
That sounds wonderful! One day I want to make y'all just a rain video. Just some straight rain hitting a tin roof, maybe. Thank you for watching!
Crafsman, YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you fir sharing your talent and your wonderful personality! We all love you here!❤️
I "thought" I knew crafting until I subscribed to your channel. Please keep doing these videos!!!! You're AWESOME!!!!
CrafsmMan is why I got back into non-digital art. ^^
I just found this channel. This is so comforting!
So glad you like it! :D
