I agree, I've been trying to figure out which resin to make jewelry with. I've been using EnviroTex Pour-On. Sometimes it stays sort of soft, no matter how accurate I try to be with pouring weight and mixing, it's just never consistent for me.
This stuff would be really interesting on its own, but the character and the jokes and the overall style are such a nice bonus that I think I'd watch this even if I had no interest in art.
Oh man yes! I've actually been making custom figures for a long time. Kitbashing has a whole community on sites like FigureRealm, its a great resource for beginners looking for tutorials.
Same hobbies here, but I also put in a lot of discarded materials into mine 😀 it's a really fun thing to do! You're only limited by your imagination! 👍
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It's one thing seeing people make these things online. It's another when the Crafsman teaches us how. You, sir, are awesome. Oh, & we love you too!
The only problem with Craftsman's videos is that his voice is so soothing and perfect to fall asleep to, but you can't just not pay full attention to the video because they're all wonderful and engaging
I'd be super keen to hear about different resins! For ages, I would get down on myself when I started to do any craft because I felt like I needed a big outcome (eg to sell my art etc) for it to be worthwhile. With every video, you remind me that the joy of crafting is the only outcome that is required. Thank you!
Listening to TheCrafsMan is the most soothing, inspiring thing to happen to craft tutorials in ages. He's like the ASMR Bob Ross of crafting. He just gently encourages you to do All The Things and it's chill if you don't have a clue what you'll make going in. Thanks for fueling my crafting habits, CrafsMan.
Hey Crafsman, just wanted to let you know you inspired me to try needle felting and I love it! I've also been on a general crafting kick since I found your channel, doing various types of craft kits as well as more of my main hobby, nail art. You've really inspired me. Thank you. ❤️
I think methods like kit bashing and your method of mixing and matching is the kind of inspiration we need now and days thanks for making this video I really enjoyed watching you make a Frankenstein figure.
Thank y'all for the suggestion! I have to say, there's not TOO much to it - I just have these sample libraries I've purchased over the years, which I put together in my audio program, "Reaper". The libraries used in this video are "Vintage 70's Breakbeats" and "Stranger Synths". In previous videos, I've used Commodore 64 and Nintendo samples. :)
Oh man I just found your channel the other day and subbed but this video, right here, is my favorite for 2019!! Your sense of humor is awesome. Please keep making great videos like this.
Hello CrafsMan, I'm so happy I stumbled upon your videos a while back. I really like how your delivering your content with so much enthusiasm and kindness. Your videos have never failed to make me smile. Thank you for all the lessons. I hope that you're doing well!
Hahah Crafsman, remember how COOL we thought those 90s figures were? First of all that was the first time Toys R Us did a midnight opening, that was like "yes, we get that adults like toys too, here you go." And we were like "whoooaoaaa, they’re all action looking, so much better than the originals!!!!!”. Of course now, we don’t have that same feeling...
Crafsman your music is banging. Please make more music and maybe a video about your music. I would definitely listen to a crafsman playlist on my way to work or when ever I need to get my creativity flowing. You make such purely enjoyable videos. It’s makes my day when I see a new crafsman video.
Another awesome video tutorial! Here’s a bit of Star Wars nerd lore: the hammerheads (Ithorians) have a mouth on both sides of their heads, so they talk in stereo. That matches up with your kitbashed concept pretty well. BTW I also was digging your musical score in this one. Keep them coming Crafsman.
Kitbash is so fun. I used to make loads of top heavy mechs that had real skinny legs, and ones that would need parts from another model. really fun stuff :)
From the daughter of a dentist...you are giving him a goldmine! My dad was an old=fashioned dentist, and did a lot of his own labwork. I think my nieces have my dad's old tools. I'd love to have them!!!
Too awesome, I’m glad you didn’t cut into that Boba Fett. I was surprised when you said you were going to use it for parts, but then I figured anything the Crafsman does is going to be art, so I was cool with it.
I haven't been subscribed long but I've watched every video and read a lot of comments and I've never seen a single hate comment! This community you've crafted is so amazing and finding this channel is like finding an oasis in the RUclips desert. Keep doing what you love!
This is honestly the video I've been waiting for. I was actually searching for examples of home-made action figures when I found your channel last year. It's something I've been wanting to do personally for a while, and recently my oldest nephew just randomly up and said it's something he's wanted to try too.
Thanks for the feedback! You talking about the squishy-squish inserts? I've used some really soft materials before, like Smooth-On Eco Flex 30 and Smooth-On Dragon Skin. I'm not sure how long they would hold up in a shoe, but they are fairly resilient.
My heart jumped out of my chest when that black suit Adventure People alien dude came on screen! I had that growing up but never knew where it came from! It's like seeing one of my oldest friends again. THANK YOU CRAFSMAN!!
Great video, and yes PLEASE, I would personally LOVE to see your take on different materials/ plastics/ resins to use for pouring into molds like this! :D And for that matter, if you know of low-cost alternative to pouring materials and/or poured mold-making materials that'd alternatives to the poured silicone, that'd be fantastic, too. In the meantime, can't wait wait to see whatever you do next. Always a pleasure watching your videos. :)
It's so hard to learn anything from your videos... They always relax me into a sleep, lol. I'm just kidding. I love your videos so much! The world needs more people like you.
Recently stumbled into this channel while looking into how to make your own toys and action figures. While your videos aren't exactly what I was looking for (more along the lines of a figma action figure that I'd model and 3d print myself), I have to say I utterly adore this channel and you've earnt a subscription from me. Keep doing what you're doing and being a positive force on the world! Much love.
Aww snap! A new Crafsman video. I appreciate all your videos, this one really takes your creativity to the next level! Thank you for keepin' on Steady Craftin!
Random fortune cookie in the shot😂One of my favorite present, was getting that little boat, with the van, motorcycle plus parachute for the action figure ❗👍✌️
I wish you could do a workshop tour, or a long video showing off all your collections (20-30 min long). I've seen all your videos, when I stumbled across the channel I immediately became obsessed lol. I've watched the one where you talk about some things you like but I could've kept watching for hours. Thank you for the clean friendly content ❤❤❤
This was an uproarious romp of retrofitting rejuvenation! Love Mc Hammerhead Hunter of Bounties I always kitbashed my G.I. Joe and StarWars figures when they broke. They were some of my favorite ones to play with. Keep doin you. And keep steady craftin' Crafsman.
Another term for this type of figure making is just simply, "Customized action figures." Custom action figures can go from something as simple as swapping parts to completely sculpting figures from scratch. BTW, funny you have the Adventure People action figures and Star Wars figures in the same video. I say it's funny because Kenner, who also handled the Fisher-Price toys, actually used Adventure People action figures as the bases for customized action figures to make concept figures of the first wave of Star Wars figures: www.toys2remember.com/2010/07/star-wars-adventure-people.html
@@TheCrafsMan I know. I myself found out about it from the show "The Toys That Made Us." If you haven't seen the series, I definitely recommend it. It's on Netflix and a third season is on it's way. :D
Oh lordy. I love all your videos but this one may be the one most relevant to my interests. I love this to death! And it'll go so well with the other things you've showed us how to do.

“Adolescent radio active martial artist tortoise, made in Mexico.” I’m gonna laugh about this for days. Love you Crafsman!
LMBO I lost it when he said that dude. Crafsman, you da man.
Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters was a halfway decent parody comic back in the day. Think he has some in his library
This was the best hahaha!
Got to stop watching your videos in the middle of our German nights. Keep waking up the kids lolling around n stuff. We love you crafsman
Fulkrum ! I love how he said it can basically be a meme format
YES Please, 8:47 do a video about the Various Resin types out there. thank you in advance.
That would be helpful! And casting / coloring rubber parts too.
I agree, I've been trying to figure out which resin to make jewelry with. I've been using EnviroTex Pour-On. Sometimes it stays sort of soft, no matter how accurate I try to be with pouring weight and mixing, it's just never consistent for me.
Agreed. This would be stellar.
Oh yes this would be so helpful. 👍
Yeah, please do
I honestly can’t stop thinking about Boba Frett and Boba Threat
He play song, he attac
But most importantly
He have battle axe
Boba Fett from Jaba's Palace and Boba Fett from Planet Fitness, LOL, HA, HA, HA!! I just lost it!
Victor Vazquez haha me too!
This stuff would be really interesting on its own, but the character and the jokes and the overall style are such a nice bonus that I think I'd watch this even if I had no interest in art.
It's simple
I see the crafsman, I smile!
Awwwright
Aww snap that's cooool
Oh man yes! I've actually been making custom figures for a long time. Kitbashing has a whole community on sites like FigureRealm, its a great resource for beginners looking for tutorials.
50percentJoe same here. I should do some of that for my custom Warhammer 40k stuff that I do
Same hobbies here, but I also put in a lot of discarded materials into mine 😀 it's a really fun thing to do! You're only limited by your imagination! 👍
*This Ed Harris action Figure*
I did a double take and laughed pretty hard. Love this channel.
One of many gems in this and all of Crafsman's videos!
That made me almost spit my iced tea
@@xeokym223 I totally did a spit take on that one :D
@@xeokym223 Crafsman has made me spit more coffee than anyone else ever. Surprised my keyboard still 2ldix.
@@matambale 🤣😂
This is lovely and so respectful to old figures! Doctor Frankenstein wished he had some of the art you have for mixing and matching
The Crafsman fans are so welcoming!! So happy to stand with them! ❤️❤️❤️
Y'all really are! Thank you!
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin
:D ❤️❤️❤️ this just made my day!!
I’m finally back to catching the Crafsman as his uploads occur! 💕
Your wooden guy is downright sweet!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It's one thing seeing people make these things online. It's another when the Crafsman teaches us how. You, sir, are awesome. Oh, & we love you too!
“But instead she comes back with Radioactive Martial Arts Tortoises made in Mexico”
My son came to me to tell me all about this awesome channel he found. Turns out we both love the craftsman! It was a great moment!
Crafsman is a national treasure, protect and cherish this icon that vibes on the level of Mr Rogers
True that!
The only problem with Craftsman's videos is that his voice is so soothing and perfect to fall asleep to, but you can't just not pay full attention to the video because they're all wonderful and engaging
You are (in my view) the most inspiring person if ever seen
“MC Hammerhead For Bounties” 😁turned out amazing Craftsman! Dope video as always my man! Thank you sir 🙏🏼
This right here is high quality entertainment.
This time, I was wiiiiise enough not to be drinking coffee while you were speaking.
Excellent work Crafsman.
That's always true.
I'd be super keen to hear about different resins! For ages, I would get down on myself when I started to do any craft because I felt like I needed a big outcome (eg to sell my art etc) for it to be worthwhile. With every video, you remind me that the joy of crafting is the only outcome that is required. Thank you!
Now this right here is a wonderful comment that I take to heart.
The most wholesome channel on youtube by far. The story behind the figure he made speaks volumes to the crafsmans character. Godd bless you Crafsman.
Your music is the best Crafsman. I would 100% buy an album if you made one
Listening to TheCrafsMan is the most soothing, inspiring thing to happen to craft tutorials in ages. He's like the ASMR Bob Ross of crafting. He just gently encourages you to do All The Things and it's chill if you don't have a clue what you'll make going in. Thanks for fueling my crafting habits, CrafsMan.

Idk why, but when you went into a tangent talking about your friend "Futon," that had me crackin up!
Every "hello" is a gift.
You bless us with your videos Crafsman. Sitting in bed with my wife and kids binge watching you steady crafting.
personally, i don’t mind the music either way, ur crafts are still awesome! 🙌
I think methods like kit bashing and your method of mixing and matching is the kind of inspiration we need now and days thanks for making this video I really enjoyed watching you make a Frankenstein figure.
Crafsman, you make me smile the deepest smiles. I love you and everything you do.
Crafsman, the world inside your head is a lovely place. Thanks for inviting us to visit awhile 😁
This is seriously the best thing ever. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a RUclips channel more than this one 👌
I love your videos and your music crafs man! Can you please do a video on how you make your music!?!!?!?
the music he uses in his videos is so enjoyable. I didn't know he made it.
I second this
I was literally about to comment that
Thank y'all for the suggestion! I have to say, there's not TOO much to it - I just have these sample libraries I've purchased over the years, which I put together in my audio program, "Reaper".

@@TheCrafsMan your music rules crafsman, if you ever release an album on bandcamp i will buy it
I loved the adolescent radioactive ratial arts tortise toys .
Yup. Made me snort. 😂🤣😂 I love me some Crafsman.
I had the whole set. Read somewhere they're going to reissue soon.
Oh yeah, I love those guys!...way better than the original! lol
Crafsman, I love everything about your videos, but my favorite parts are your humor. "Ed Harris action figure" made me so happy.
These videos always make me unbelievably happy. Thank you CrafsMan, you always brighten up my day. 👍
This put the biggest smile on my face. I'm gonna go kitbash me some figures!
Glad to hear it, my friend!
Hey The Crafsman, you make me smile. Thank you for that
This is the funniest video I’ve seen in a while!! Great job!!
Oh man I just found your channel the other day and subbed but this video, right here, is my favorite for 2019!! Your sense of humor is awesome. Please keep making great videos like this.

If I wasn't already a subscriber, this video would have made me hit that button in a millisecond.
I find myself smiling and smiling and smiling at the Crafsmans’s adventures. Face even cramps up. That’s a sign (to me) of something quite special.
Kitbash is so fun. I used to make loads of top heavy mechs that had real skinny legs, and ones that would need parts from another model. really fun stuff :)
Obi-Wan Canoeing shut up LOL! Crafsman, you take crafting to whole new creative level. This was awesome.
Obi-Wan Canoeing had me rollin!
I love this! The Hammerhead is one of my favorite aliens and this kitbash is so satisfying!

Btw, using LEGO to make the mold itself is really smart lol.
Hey crafsman I’m going to a new school and moving houses and you remove so much stress from my life.

Also you should consider replacing the canisters on the back of MC Hammerhead Hunter with a turntable looking device.
