I am a product development engineer for a printing company. We make labels that are placed into injection molds. Your videos inspired me to pursue a rapid prototyping system for injection molding using high temp 3D print resin. You always inspire me artistically and now you’ve inspired me im a way that’s helping me make career advances. Thank you Crafsman. You are a truly amazing soul.
Brent, thank you for watching, and for such an excellent comment! This comment means a lot to me. I know it's not the same as what you're talking about, but when we were experimenting with getting paint to stick to plastic, I tested stickers. The idea was if we produced the "A-Mod" figure, to have professional die-cut stickers made to fit the specified opening. :) Thank you again, very much.
It's never cheating, don't make yourself trapped in that you "need" to upload to the content machine that is YT. Just go with the flow, at your own pace, enjoy what you do and most importantly have fun with it. We appreciate you sharing with us your wonderful creations, no matter how short or lengthy the videos are. Thanks for inspiring us all!
It's helpful to know these things. Some of us in the lower income side of the hobby are lucky to have generous youtubers like yourself. Especially willing to use your knowledge and materials to help us avoid these potentially wasteful or costly mistakes. Keep up the content Crafman. Probably the best Hobby content on the platform ♥️
For the record, I love these short shop logs. Not that I don't also love the longer videos but, I've said before, If you did a couple of these shorter bits a month and that gave more time for the longer animation videos once a month (or what ever schedule works for you) I'd be delighted. What I'm trying to say is you do you brother, just mind yourself and don't ever feel like you're cheating. We got you crafsman
Every time you say "I love y'all, and just keep on steady craftin" I just have to throw you a like because it warms my heart inside! I just like the way you say it.
As a metal caster this is great to see, I do a lot of pewter casting too and I'm always looking for fun projects or new things to try. Thanks Crafsman! 👍👊
I got into this over 20 years ago. I have an industrial size vulcanizer where I made lots of rubber molds for metal. It's basically car tire rubber and I've poured stuff up to 700 degrees in them before. It cuts down on the life but it works well.
Please never feel you need to apologize for making shorter videos, or needing more time between uploads. Us steady-crafters appreciate everything you do! Seeing a new Craftman upload is always a highlight and even if it was only 30 seconds, that's still 30 seconds of pure joy & entertainment for us!
Sorrow tv sent me here and I have to say your videos are the equivalent of getting a big hug from your favorite uncle when you're feeling down, every time I watch your videos it makes me happy that I'm alive and happy that I am able to create an use my imagination I'm very grateful to have found your channel, never stop crafin
I think the corn starch started decomposing leading to the offgassing, something inorganic like fumed silica might be worth trying with this process as a flow promoter. That said a small gantry CNC engraver machine is only a few hundred dollars and could make a flat 2 part mold like this in aluminum or brass, CNC cutting is now more than viable at garage scale and with a small budget.
As someone with quite a bit of experience in all types of mold making, from cast-iron, lost wax casting jewelry, and everything in between… Preheating that silicone would probably help. Obviously not too hot ....but enough to drive off any residual moisture, and Bring the two materials to somewhat of an equilibrium…this will lessen the interaction between the room temperature silicone and the 400° or higher pewter. As a sidenote, laser thermometers aren’t always that accurate. You need a particular type of matte non-reflective surface, I’ve tried everything from the cheap $20 ones to the very expensive ones and even side-by-side comparisons with A few different thermal cameras. Honestly the cheap laser thermometers are just as accurate as the more expensive ones… As long as you have a specific spot that is the proper surface finish. Always love your videos!
P Yes. Preheating the mold will help prevent the metal from solidifying before filling in all the details. Vibrating the mold can also help but is harder to do for home gamers.
I use to watch your videos alot and now ima mold setter at a plastic injection department at my factory. Now I'm even more intrigued! We work eith polycarbonate, polypropylene, Valox, nylon, acrylic, and several other materials
I’ve been watching everything you’ve put out since you showed up in my feed about four weeks ago. I’m so delighted by your content that I’ve literally shared it with around 20 family and friends. When I introduced your content to my brother, he already knew you and started talking like you! We have similar tastes. I wish you the best in your RUclips career etc. I just love what you’re up to. I don’t think you should worry about putting out a shorter video. It was helpful content and visually excellent. Keep up the good work.
I'd love to see a min video/ cartoon / claymation of u building something and then making a story of some sorts out of your crafts. You my sir are an inspiration and a genius!
I was having a really rough day and was starting to let it get to me, but seeing a new video from you has brought a smile to my face, thank you Crafsman!
I love these shorter videos (especially when they give tips like this)! My attention span isn't what it used to be so it's great to have these little updates when you haven't uploaded a longer video in a while (or even when you have). Any content from you is good content!
I love that you not only give interesting information, but also create an atmosphere for your videos. The pewter mold idea was a fun experiment. The birdsong and your Cajun Bob Ross vocal tones put it over the top 💖🤗
Gotta thank you for your videos, Crafsman. Your first one on pewter got me into lost wax casting a few months ago and I've even tried out other metals since then making sculptures and figures and things. Many thanks for the inspiration!
I love the shop logs. I don't always have time to watch longer videos so these sort ones are wonderful. I really enjoy watching these short takes on crafting.
I used to do pewter casting with my high school students. Made moulds from either desktop cnc engraved mdf or hand carved cuttlefish bone. One shot moulds but very fun to make.
I've watched you from the start, me and my daughter (5) love watching you. I've often wondered how you could entertain such a age gap(me-41 daughter -5)...then it hit me. If Jim Henson and Bob Ross had a love child and Mr. Roger's was your baby sitter.... the Crafsman would be the result. I think you for everything kind Sir,keep being you.
It's HOT! That was informational! : ) Overall great info. I love your shop logs. I'll admit it, that hot liquid metal scares me a little too! Nice work, you're an innovator!
Don’t feel like you’re cheating when doing these shop logs. All of the videos you produce end up being informative and enjoyable to watch, no matter what format they’re in or topic they cover. 🙏
Thank you for being so awesome crafman. I love all the videos you put out. Every single one of them has been pretty neat. There way you present your content blows me away. The sincerity and concern for the people that watch your videos is on a whole other level. Love ya buddy. Thanks for all your videos and thanks for steady craftin
I just love these videos. Another thing that happens when you use molten metals is that it shrinks considerably as it cools and solidifies, distorting the piece ever so slightly. So as you demonstrated, it works ok, but not as well or as consistent as some of the other things you’ve used.
don't worry Crafsman, I don't mind videos like this especially because you always have some neat or insightful advice. plus I know the projects you are working on are more worth the time. :)
Absolutely love it!!! You should do a shop log all the time! I make molds for pouring silver! I 3d print a object. Then pour investment plaster around that. I make sure no bubbles are in it by vacuum sealing it and running my finger around like you taught us. I then melt out the 3d print then pour silver in its place. I’m still working on making them come out with less pitting. I’ve handed vent shaft but still have pitting. They look amazing tho!
Thin is good - pewter can fill 1.5mm - talc vs corn - top on the mold - then cut air passages in those corners with a scalpel and fill them with talc - also can put thread and talc for air vents in problem areas shop vac chamber - Rubber, either natural or silicon electrostaticly attracts both the pewter and the talc. And lastly if you pour with the mold vertically or with a funnel sprure that provides head pressure, that will help
I love your content! I have always been so interested in mold making and art figures, but it always seemed out of reach. I still don't know that I will ever get around to making them myself, but I love watching the process and learning about the different materials and techniques that can be used. Thank you for the entertaining and educational videos.
I wonder if adding a vibration to the table-top would help the metal release the air bubbles, or if it would produce more bubbles instead? Your videos have inspired me to pursue creating custom belt buckles. Thank you for all of the videos of your experiments. You've really helped overcome some fears of making mistakes and being brave enough to take chances with new processes. Looking forward to the next video 🥰
My first time watching any of your videos. So cool! I love you mild manner of expression and so informative. I look forward to viewing more of your videos soon. Keep up the awesome work.
I'm not trying to force the issue, but what about carving a pewter block on a CNC? It would be less pitted and you could get those details. It's also way softer than aluminum so it should be easy for even a super cheap CNC. Even if this only works for a couple of shots, remelting the block would be amazing. I searched RUclips and Google for examples of people CNCing pewter and I couldn't find a single person trying it! Everyone just pours the pewter.
I doubt it's all that machineable in the typical casting formulations, much like lead. I wonder how something like Zamak would work, it's relatively low melt but a few hundred degrees more than pewter, and it's used in parts that start from die castings and are refined with machining.
Thank you! The main unit we use is an LNS-150A. I also have a DIY/built-from-parts "Buster Beagle" injection mold unit with roughly double the shot size (2CU" vs 1CU"). The LNS-150A is very well-built, and I personally prefer the heat regulator on it vs. the Buster Beagle (bear in mind, this regulator happens to be one of the cheaper parts, so you can swap it out on a DIY unit) and it comes built like a tank, with minimal assembly, but it does come at a higher price tag. Hope this helps!
I used to do this as a kid! They used to sell these kit toys at toy stores, in the same style as like Easy-Bake Ovens. a protective enclosure with a tiny electric crucible cup, that had a lever to tilt the melted pewter beads into a little silicone mold. They were rad!
The first pour with pewter often looks bad, because the mold isn't warmed up. You should always do a couple in a row. Alternatively, if you have a small oven nearby, you might want to warm the mold up to 200+ before pouring.
Crafsman, love the channel, love everything you do so keep it up. As I go through older videos, it seems like you have 100 videos showing different ways to make molds using different methods, different mold material, different casting material, etc. Any chance you could do a video some time comparing all the different methods you like to use and why? Love the channel my man
I find pewter casting into silicone likes the mold hot either by oven pre heat or remelting the first 2 or three casts. It also likes the mold to be shaken in the first few seconds after pouring either by tapping it with a metal rod or having it on a rickety table that you can used an orbital sand on near the mold.
Get yourself some woods metal or rose metal alloys, they melt Way lower temps and should do just as well for quick molds. Also very useful for tightly bending narrow gauge piping when injected from the bottom of the pipe.

I second the love for the shop logs. I love to learn about the hows and whys of making things.
I'd like to *BUMP* this comment.
Thank y'all so much for this, each one!
Agreed! You do you Crafsman!
Agreed! It's these little shop experiments/tips that get me fired up to go to the shed👍
Every time you say "I love y'all, and just keep on steady craftin" I just have to throw you a like because it warms my heart inside!

Short, long, doesn’t matter as long as the craftsman graces my feed.
Funny that you say these little shop talk videos feel like cheating. These are some of my favorites!

Yes. Preheating the mold will help prevent the metal from solidifying before filling in all the details. Vibrating the mold can also help but is harder to do for home gamers.
You can always slap some matte black tape on anything shiny for a better reading
@@1nvderZim Not sure that's gonna work on molten metal...
Actually, it’s videos like this that inspires questions of “could I…”. Great vid !
I love watching these with my kids ☺️
You have the most original and funniest crafting channel on RUclips. Please, for the love of God, do not stop making videos!!
Hey Crafsman, don't feel bad about having to do shop logs! I love your work, especially when you take the time to experiment like this.

Keep these shop logs coming. They are some of my favorite videos.
It is very relaxing to watch these videos with the birds singing in the background and the soulful voice and great tips!
I love the shop logs. I don't always have time to watch longer videos so these sort ones are wonderful. I really enjoy watching these short takes on crafting.
Speakin metals here. Crafsman... u ever grab a bar of pure tin ans bend it and just vibe out on the cool creaky sound it makes? I loooove that sound.
I used to do pewter casting with my high school students. Made moulds from either desktop cnc engraved mdf or hand carved cuttlefish bone. One shot moulds but very fun to make.
My goodness your voice over work has improved dramatically! And your use of old footage with the film grain is a nice touch too. :D

You're the only one who does this! Amazing content.
I love you crafsman, always inspiring me to try new things ❤️
You are so good at what you're doing I have a pure joy watching you.
Love your videos.
You just happen to cover all the craft things I happen to be interested in.
And you got a chill laid back voice.
I love the short shop videos. Especially ones that show and explain why we should or should not do something.
I just love these videos. Another thing that happens when you use molten metals is that it shrinks considerably as it cools and solidifies, distorting the piece ever so slightly. So as you demonstrated, it works ok, but not as well or as consistent as some of the other things you’ve used.
Crafsman I was secretly hoping you'd do a video about this! No need to feel like you're cheating. Keep up the great work
I love relaxing over a new crafsman video. Perfect timing on this upload.
don't worry Crafsman, I don't mind videos like this especially because you always have some neat or insightful advice. plus I know the projects you are working on are more worth the time. :)
I always put in headphones for crafsman’s videos. You have such good sound mixing, keep up the great work!

@@TheCrafsMan it does thank you. I’m not sure if you’ve made any videos on the tools you use, but it would be cool to see them and how they work etc
Thanks for the video. I am not into molds n stuff but i find it inspiring to see you play around
I don't see this as cheating. It was packed full of info. Greatly enjoyed.
it's so cool to see you try this Crafman! I love these quick little videos. there's sone great learning and experimentation going on up in here. Woot!
Always a blessing to see you brother.
I used to do this as a kid! They used to sell these kit toys at toy stores, in the same style as like Easy-Bake Ovens. a protective enclosure with a tiny electric crucible cup, that had a lever to tilt the melted pewter beads into a little silicone mold. They were rad!
I would love to see a posable injection figure with the wire inside (like Gumby). Does anyone still do that?
I love every shop log type video. I like to learn how to utilize different mediums.
The first pour with pewter often looks bad, because the mold isn't warmed up. You should always do a couple in a row. Alternatively, if you have a small oven nearby, you might want to warm the mold up to 200+ before pouring.
I was just listening to a Kevin spacey podcast and then i hit this video with this accent. Perfection.
I love the smell of Fresh craftsman in the morning
One of my dreams is to learnt your skills. Thanks to share your master skills
My day is complete! Thank you Crafsman! Huge fan of your show!
Crafsman, love the channel, love everything you do so keep it up.

I find pewter casting into silicone likes the mold hot either by oven pre heat or remelting the first 2 or three casts. It also likes the mold to be shaken in the first few seconds after pouring either by tapping it with a metal rod or having it on a rickety table that you can used an orbital sand on near the mold.
Ooooooooo yeahhh! I love all your videos 🙌🙌🙌
I like these short shop log videos.
I can't wait to see the mini shop and it's glory photoshoots.
I'd watch Crafsman cut grass with scissors. So calming, and able to make anything entertaining. This generations Bob Ross for sure.
Dont ever apologize for Shop Logs Crafsman. We love Shop logs!
Practically all my old war hammer stuff is pewter, this takes me back
Have not heard the term "Bookoo" in a looooong time. Thanks for the flash back Craftman :)
Man, you're entertaining! Love the last little camera's All-Right move. Classic theCrafsMan!
Crafsman, you are the coolest
Get yourself some woods metal or rose metal alloys, they melt Way lower temps and should do just as well for quick molds. Also very useful for tightly bending narrow gauge piping when injected from the bottom of the pipe.
