I'm tryin' for y'all, my friend! Thanks so much for the encouraging feedback!
@@TheCrafsMan Keep doing your thing brother. Your videos are a testament to the effort you put in, and the passion you have for your videos, fans, and crafts.
Now that’s the right approach to having sponsors
Zwick Flix Productions oh man this man, puppet, is a saint regarding that sponsor talk towards the beginning of the video.
Jewelry, sculpting, metal working, soon the craftman will teach us how to make our own clothes
Metal powders used with epoxy putty is something I never would have thought of. You gots my brain wheels turning!
I could listen to you read the phone book Crafsman. These videos are so interesting too.
Thank you so much!
You and me and many, many more.

@@TheCrafsMan me three, :D regarding reading a phone book.... and your talkin zombie-fys my 4 year old son
You guys, he called her CrafsMama. I'm going to cry 😄
Almost half an hour and it goes like it was 5 minutes, crafsman videos are awesome
I’m really encouraged by this, especially when I was kinda wondering if my disclaimer about sponsors and stuff went too long. Thank you!
@@TheCrafsMan it was actually really good, you put some really good points in your disclaimer
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.
Outstanding! I actually made a video showing how to do this, too. It’s a nice DIY alternative! Thanks for sharing!
@@TheCrafsMan Oh snap! You got it covered!
“Speaking of G.I. Joe....” 😂😂😂
Dang that was funny right there.
@ 3:12 I don't get the joke , “Speaking of G.I. Joe....” Can you explain it to me. :) thanks
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!
Many thanks to you for this. Very kind!
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.
I am here for "Un Poco De Todo",your videos is so relaxing
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!
You are my friend! :D Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your kind words.
TheCrafsMan for President
Crafsman knows how to do everything.
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 for that! I appreciate your support SO much!
Crafsman, you make my head explode with cool ideas!
I was JUST thinking about you, like "I hope the Crafsman is doing okay"
Good to see you, friend 😊👋
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. :/)
@@TheCrafsMan I think I have missed a few though I have been busy. And I'm always happy to support you :)
@@TheCrafsMan RUclips does a really poor job with notifications. A SteadyCraftin Facebook group might help people stay up to date with your uploads
Baby Lej like how we know its crafsman. And not craftsman*. Real subscribers up in here
@babyLej You are lovely looking, I paint portraits and was wondering if you have an IG.
Me, right now, using Steelstik on my own craft, turning four toy guns into a historical Beretta. I love steel stick. 😊
Ah man, I love those Blackstar figures in the back of your shelf. Righteous.
87 in the workshop? Time to start the Crafsman a/c fund!
I have a little window unit, which mostly keeps it cool. But when I'm filming, I have to turn the AC off, because of the noise. :)
What is that company with the DIY install ac units!? They are handing out those things left and right!
i may not make everything you do but i learn sooo much from these videos and apply it to what i do
An idea: it would be cool if you showed up how to make a puppet or a stuffed animal. Love you're videos! My wife and I watch everyone
Daniel Donaldson show a video of how he makes himself? Interesting
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
So kind of you! I hope you feel better soon!
Very cool technique to replace lost buttons.
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.👍
Can You tell me Your selling price?
wow, that is so great
I recommend anyone watch Crafsman
Creative, inspirational, relaxing and just all out great videos. 👍
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!!!
this is like ASMR crafting and i LOVE it !!!!!!!!!
Thank you CraftsMan, once again you have educatedand and entertained me and made me smile, all at the same time.
Thank you! It’s always a pleasure when you share your gifts!
This will help so much I normally just steal the extra buttons from old clothes to sew onto new clothes
Nice results! Thank you. Crafsman, you are an outstanding human being. Your videos are the best anti-stress medicine ever!
Please show more powders, I've learned so much from you! I love your videos man!!!
Once again a new video, HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY.
Makes me smile
Crafsman I haven’t been a subscriber for long, but just to let you know....You are much appreciated, I don’t know how this magical World works, but it dun did wonders when it crafted you sir!
This is a very kind comment, my friend. Thank you so much for taking time to encourage me today!
Dude, I love you, right there, you know what I'm sayin? I'm just about ready to fall asleep to some soothin', steady craftin'.
Hickory is also the favorite wood of grandma's everywhere....I remember from my childhood 😂😂
mine prefered willow.
🎵 whip it good 🎵
these videos are always the best. Quality content right here
I sure appreciate that!
How could anyone not love this guy?
Fab video .. gonna have to get me some of that putty ! looks great ❤❤
Thanks for watching! Lots of possibilities with mold putty! :D
Always relaxing I almost drifted off to sleep
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 really appreciate this tip! You can bet I’m gonna try that! :D
You are truly awesome! 💞
Great video. Jb weld should be fine for buttons, in regards to temperature. The Googles says it can withstand heat upto 500 F.
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 ♥
Ohhhhhhh, that’s a good idea! I regret not realizing that, as I could have included it in this.
@@TheCrafsMan It was still an awesome video ♥
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!)
Crafsman wouldn't review a lightsaber even if they sent him $220 worth of coupons.
Craftsman! My husband and I love watching your videos! We've tried a few things after watching you!
Quicksteel clay sounds so cool
Awesome Slithe figure over there! I have him sitting behind me with my He-Man stuff.
Thanks, SteadyCraftin. My buddies called me SteadyFreddy in college. Some people were up and others were down...and I always was just kind of chill.
To this, have you always been "steady"...or is this a new practice for you?
Thank you for considering working with PollyPlastics. I hope other people will give it a try for their heat resistance buttons that stand up to pesky irons, or wherever your creativity takes you.
Hey, Freddy! Thank you for the opportunity to try it. I'm impressed by the consistency; in further testing on my end, it seems like it picks up details a little easier than other mold putty formulas. Cure time and durability are just what I expected. Great product!
Thank you for the custom button show 🍘
Making copies of buttons has a lot of potential uses in costume making. Love the video, I never would have thought of it!
how did I just only now find this channel ??
It's OK. You're here now. Enjoy
May the Universe bless you and your family, always! Thank you Crafsman for the great ideas
I might have to copper up one of my Castle Grayskulls! Steady Awesome, Crafsman!!!
Oh mannnnnnn, I would!!!!! :D
You just came up on a day of youtube diy video binging, because I’m sick in bed. First the ring bending one then this. My brain is jumping. I want to make zipper pulls and other things in a recognizable logo for things I sew and craft. And just watched a lady woodworking with a Dremel. I think i can put these two videos together and get what I want!
I love your integrity :)
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!
This means SO much to me! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this with us! I really appreciate all your videos because they show you trying to help others along your own journey!
Crafsmama gotta be the luckiest gal on the planet.... for reals.
I love the tidbit on hickory wood!
1 dislike? How can someone possibly dislike this?
My thoughts as well!
I'm guessing it's jealousy
Probably tried to select “like” but my man has Parkinsons
Bigga figure poor michael j fox. He be raising 800 million in research for Parkinson's
@@biggafigure8575 that is all I can think of, must be
I think we need to see some videos with CrafsMama. I imagine she does some cool crafts in addition to sewing, cooking, and beekeeping.
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 😍😍
Michael's and A.C.Moore have these tools in the polymer clay section. JoAnn's sells them too.
What an awsome idea! Like the new putty also.
Crafsman, that is one of the nicest metallic finish methods I've ever seen! Any other applications of that in other videos?
Love your videos! Thanks Crafsman.
Rainblo and Big Bol chewing gum was my thing as a kid.
This is the first video of yours I'm watching on my new phone. And its even better than before
Oh wow! Hope it looks and sounds ok on the phone! :D Thank you!
@@TheCrafsMan It looks and sounds fantastic. Btw do you have legs? We've all seen you hands and head. But never legs. Do you float?
I might be showing off my legs in a future episode. ;)
@@xThePissMan Well, we now know he owns shorts.......
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.. What a great idea, I might have to experiment with it myself and see if I can do any rings from it Maybe 🤔 opens up a whole other world of possibilities!!! Hope you are well Mr. Crafsman ✌
You
Are awesome! Thank you for all your work. Love your creativity. Please don’t stop
Ok so what’s your favorite rainblo gum flavor? Me: the yellow one and I generally dislike yellow colored candy, but the yellow gum is my jam.
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
I love you too, Mr Crafsman!
I love this guy. Also is such a great ASMR voice and environment.
Thank you! :D
Magic as always
that pretty well puts a date on the two of us now dont it, remember STRETCH ARMSTRONG?? thank you for this great idea and tips
OMG...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN...U ARE SOOO GREAT...i needed that puppet stuff...lol. i love jb weld...been using it for.decades.
Ur pretty inspirational to keep doing fun little activities. I feel that most of us forget to have fun sometimes doing these things
I have made a shit ton of stuff out of the two-part epoxy that comes in the tubes, I love the stuff!
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).
Hey Crafsman, what's your favorite sandwich?
Just a straight-up grilled cheese is fine with me. :D
CRAFSMAN!! YOU SHOULD HAVE TESTED A PLASTIC BUTTON TO SEE AT WHAT TEMPERATURE DOES IT MELT??
0:55 It's never a 100% waste if you learn something, you know that crafsman
great video as always. subscribed a good long while ago, and I'm glad you're getting so popular.
Hey there Mr.C.,,,,I gotta concur on that cassette tape vibe,,,I got too many from back in the day,,, which wasn't too long ago 📻,,, great teaching video as usual,,, your the best Sir 🍻
Nick Bruni same here! we should start a movement to bring back tapes eh? 😂 😂 ✌
@@Ken_Dalton you're on to something Man ,,,, there's way more of us out there,,, maybe we can get the CRAFSMAN to start " the CASSETTE movement " LoL 🐸 Rock on Bro !
Nick Bruni hahaha Crafsman can be our president!! I'll have a word with him lol 😂 ✌
I just stumbled across this man your videos are awesome I love this content your outlook on life great work great crafts and not to be strange or anything but your voice is kinda relaxing ! this one of the more worthy channels on RUclips!!
As a costumer, this is going to be HUGELY helpful!
Hey Crafsman! Love your videos! Just seeing you mentioning the wooden buttons! I love that idea!
How about you vacuum them with some resin before you work on them, so they'll last a lifetime!
CrafsMan you are sounding a little under the weather. Feel better!
Crafts man you did it again! Awesome video!
Thank mr crafsman! Your videos make me so happy! You and crafsmama are true gems in this crazy world!
I love the sound of your voice craftman!
Love this! I was hesitant about the heat test but it came out great!
jb weild is actually freaking strong i repaired so many riffle with it ( airsoft ) which move with high co2 pressure and they kept being sturdy even after years of using them ;)
Crafsman, that was really good. Keeps on craftin'
This is very interesting, what a simple and entertaining... and working idea!
Crafsman thanks for all your videos, specially for this one. Very calm and inspiring!
Thank you once again Crafsman. Love your videos. Learned a lot and had fun doing it.
