Excellent video, Crafsman! Here are a couple of tips for steady crafmens who may not can order stuff from online for whatever reason, but still wanna do a little molding and casting like the Crafsman: You can make your own mold putty from a tube of silicone and a box of cornstarch. But mix it up on your back porch, the silicone/cornstarch cures quicker than just silicone by itself, and the smell of vinegar it makes when curing will run you outta the house! I make mine like making strange biscuits. I throw down a sheet of wax paper, drop about a half cup of the cornstarch on it, then I squeeze out however much silicone from the tube that I think I'll need. Coat my gloves and some wide, flat craft sticks with vaseline and then I cut the silicone into the cornstarch. I sprinkle more and more starch, cutting it in, then continue mixing with my fingers and hands , until I have it at about the consistency of biscuit dough. It goes from being real sticky to a tacky putty in just a couple minutes. You'll have about three or so minutes of working time to press it into the object you want to mold. I usually play it safe by spraying a little cooking spray on the object first tho. It cures fast, like in twenty or thirty minutes. Anyhow, sorry for the long comment.
There are not many channels that are so wholesome, funny, interesting and teach you something at the same time. Don't know anymore how I stumbled upon this channel but I loved it ever since!
So much respect for you keeping the sponsorship in line with your channel content! Love your channel, the family style...style you have....everything....and your cute little brown furry hands of course!
Thank you, my friend! And thanks for your continued support - here and on Patreon! I hope you're seeing my videos each week. (I may mention in the next video about the alerts/notifications thing, because some people have commented that they've missed a few weeks' worth of videos. :/)
I tried making those fork elephants and they are one of the best sellers at my booth at the local Saturday market!😁 Thanks for the idea, and God bless.👍
Crafsman! I’m home sick with the flu & was feeling sad until I got a notification that you posted a new video! Thank you so much for brightening this rainy day in Asheville
I hope you take this as a compliment, because I mean it as high praise: your calming and encouraging nature reminds me of Bob Ross. I always feel better after watching. You've inspired me to get into crafting with different kinds of molds.
This is great CrafsMan!!! Buttons can be really expensive, and these are sweeeet! Crashing around in the dryer will be the true test. Thanks, and God bless you ♥
Yes! Use a laundromat, & try several different dryers. Some will be too hot, some not ! Laundromats are a gamble. (But, if you ruin your home dryer, you have trouble at home!)
Oh CrafsMan. I want to be your friend so bad. I'm from New Orleans and you talk like so many people there that I love. Its downright therapeutic. Thank you for your vids!
Thank you for your videos, Crafsman! I've found for burnishing, a polished stone can work in place of a spoon. It's easier to grip and can get into small areas and corners. I have a polished Jade that is rectangular and I wear it around my neck. It has come in handy as a burnishing tool time and time again!
I just stumbled upon your channel and I am hooked. I want to applaud after every video I watch. Your creativity, passion, and presentation are wonderfully refreshing. Keep on keeping on!

Hey CrafsMan, I went online to find out more about Polly Plastics Silicone Mould making (on Amazon) and to buy some...Cause I am a beginner at mold making and this seemed to be a easy way to make molds for small things I want to do...AND LOW AND BEHOLD, they have you doing the video tutorial...No sound (so we couldn't hear your voice) but I would recognize those gloves, Chewbacca (your figurine) and your workspace all day long...I WAS THRILLED. My Man CrafsMan is EVERYWHERE!!! I LOVED IT!!!
Thank you for reviewing polly plastics and comparing with regular easy mold putty. I've used polly's thermoplastic beads but wasnt sure about the silicone putty. I think I like the softer consistency, so I'd try theirs first over the craft store brand
You should get yourself some clay tools , and a tissue blade, after putting your epoxy in use the blade to level off the epoxy flush to the mould , and the metal clay tools have different shapes for you to either polish or shape , very cheap craftsman, I’d send you some but in in Liverpool England 🙁 love your channel 😍😍
In case anybody’s wondering, nickel silver, also known as German silver, does not contain any real silver. It just looks silvery. It’s usually about 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc. Some people get skin irritation from jewelry containing nickel. If you’re one of those people, you probably want to avoid nickel silver powder (although it isn’t toxic).
Omg we have too much in common coz I'd be still listening to cassette tapes too 😂 I still have a bunch of my old ones in case I get a tape deck somewhere haha, I'd like to thank u and miss Lisa for Givin us all the idea to use this quicksteel..
