My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
Where can you get that grinder from? I checked LNS' website and could not find it
Melting k cups into coins
Crafsman shrugging his shoulders got me. Love the subtle things like that.
I'm 48 years old in the middle of Australia and I'm watching a puppet with a Southern American swampy accent this is brilliant 👏
Brilliant indeed. On Curaçao Island. 47.
There might be channels with higher budgets, but this is the highest *quality* content on RUclips.
Indeed
It's the sentimentality
I'll take quality over quantity any day.
I love this sock, it has taught me a lot and its videos are relaxing
But what about dream smp? :0
Seeing those pill bottles turn into delicious looking robots was incredibly satisfying. I might need to... Get one of these injection molding machines... 🤔
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
I just noticed they went from $1,800 to $2,200. :/ I'm guessing it was a supply-and-demand thing for LNS maybe.
Still a really big fan of the 150A. But you being a maker, consider the Precious Plastics design. ANNND there's a gentlemen called "Buster Beagle" who makes a really neat injection mold press here on RUclips. :D
@@TheCrafsMan It is very cool to see the recycling movement enter into more toys from makers, that's something I've wanted to do for a long while. I just built up a Buster machine and while it's half the price of LNS, the shot size is also larger... so that's all around a good thing. Great that LNS has started offering a grinder since one of those has been difficult for me to source. Hopefully a more cost effective entry level solution presents itself (maybe a variation on that paper shredder Precious Plastics build - I've been a fan of them for a few years too!)
One day soon hopefully we'll see plastic grocery bags turned around into lovely AND functional ROBOTIX pilot figures for the Crafsman space station.
Love the Maker's Muse videos!!!! The buster Beagle 3D kit costs a lot less... a pneumatic conversion of these manual ones is pretty easy too, im doing it right now on my LNS150A. I did buy the BB3D 2 cu in kit recently too to play with, its really well made, but I'm concerned the 3/8" bolt may not hold up to the pneumatic pressure
@@AaronVanTassle Looking forward to building the Buster Beagle one, I think he came out with a newer version with better support...
@@TheCrafsMan Thanks for the plug! I have been a big fan of your videos for a while now and this is another great one. The response to my machine has been so great that I just sold out. I do have more on a ship headed to my right now so they should be back in stock very soon. Thanks again and keep it up the great work!
Puppet Crafsman shrugging so cleanly is everything I need in the world
no kidding, i want to know how he did it like that though
For real! So cute :)
He aint a puppet man... dont u ruin it for me
I know that's right !!!!
The craftsman meta just increased 25%
Love that orange colour. Know i will probably never be able to do the injection moulding but I found the plastics description part very educational. Thank you crafsman.
Glad to hear it, buddy! Thank you for keepin' on watching!
(P.S. As far as you getting an injection molder, I will quote Samwise Gamgee: "You may yet, Mr. Frodo. You may." Except imagine Frodo is Bill.
I just want to encourage you… I don’t ever intend to get into injection molding, but I do like your injection molding videos! Your creativity and the results you get are very satisfying to watch. You do you Craftsman and us silent supportive types will try to speak out the encouragement a bit more.
Same - I really enjoy learning about things even if I'm not expecting to do them myself. Resin, silicone, injection moulding, all these sorts of things are fascinating to me. I regard it as expanding my future potential options - if I come up with a project in the future that would really benefit from one of these techniques then I'll recognise it and re-watch some videos to remind myself how it's done.
@@MattFowlerBTR My husband says I must be a crafting expert because I've spent the last several years just watching craft and DIY videos lol I just love learning and listening to people talk about stuff they're passionate about. Will I ever do injection molding? Probably not. Do I love hearing him talk about it? Absolutely
You are 100% a teacher. Kids of all ages need to be watching this. Science and Engineering all wrapped up in some recycling - plus cool tools. You're the best!
“My wife told me not to do that joke” hahahaha Ain’t nothin wrong with a little pp joke.
Unless you have one!
Had me rollin😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I think I missed something.
@@seanlavoie2 PP DARLING, It’s a euphemism for male genitalia
I love the Crafsman. I get very happy in my soul to see his vidos every time they appear.
Thank you Crafsman for all the fun, Education and the crafting you do. It inspires me to crafs
my own things and make my own toys. I really appreciate you very much.
Crafsman giving out all these wisdoms for free. What a nice person.
You're the product being sold
Hearing you explain and talk about different types of plastics and injection molding gave me such cozy Bob Ross vibes. Friend, I would listen to you talking about any old thing. You are wonderful
NOTES:
The little MakerBot robot figures are not for sale - those are FREEbies with enamel pin orders. (Or any order thicker than an envelope.)

Translucent orange pill bottles can be found on sites like eBay or Amazon by searching for "translucent orange pill bottles".

NOTE: Polystyrene (PS) can be used in the LNS 150A and probably most any benchtop injection mold press, but be aware that the fumes are not as favorable as Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (HDPE/LDPE).
Also crafsman, contrary to your wife, do more jokes like the pp joke, it crosses everyone's mind the instant they see it, and makin the joke just follows through on the swing! Until next time!
Please print and paint one of your Crafsman figures; watching you select colors and apply the paint would be edutaining indeed!
Great stuff man! Hey, random question. I'm pretty sure I've seen you do metal casting before, and if I'm thinking right you've done lead and tin. But have you ever worked with copper and/or bronze? If so, by chance you have any tips on making good molds that aren't green sand, relatively easy? Big thanks, and keep having fun!🍻
How fun!! Thanks for sharing
In case you needed more encouragement, I'll say this again.
Even though I don't plan to ever buy or make an injection molding machine, I still find these videos interesting. So please keep them coming.
Really love the background music track on this one, Crafsman.
Oh yeah, that's right! He probably made the music himself!
Crafsman is both an artist and a therapist all in one. 😄
Only channel we can learn cool crafts...and leave with a lower blood pressure to boot.Crafsman is the Casey Kasem of the craftworld😄❤️Crafsman❤️
“My wife told me not to do that joke” LOL 😂
Laughed so hard, tears rolled down my pants. (LSHTRDMP) :)

"The Solution" is at 9:28, btw ;)
Your channel helped me when I was making a few thousand life-long reusable respirators for hospitals. Thanks man. I liked your walkthroughs and tricks to do creative things with Moldstar. They were just what I needed. The soap trick and the really down to earth experiments are just what we need. Your channel sped me up probably 10-20%! Statistically, you have more likely than not saved the life of a doctor or nurse. Crafsman ftw! Who knows who else you've helped.
Wow
Baby, you do you. I have no interest in injection molding, but I just love watching your passion. You got what I need.
I like the music. This goes perfectly with your personality: "mellow with just a whisper of space robots"!
"My wife told me not to do that joke."
I'm glad you didn't listen!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"(Mumbling) My wife told me not to use that joke" had me laughing out loud!
I started laughing out loud with the 'you can't just push the bottles down into the injection machine'. Thank you for the joy and the videos.
Crafsman, you are brilliant, and don't you listen to anyone telling you negatives, just coz THEY can't do a thing, sure don't mean YOU can't do it. You are brilliant and your videos are always interesting and enjoyable. God bless you Crafsman. You're the BEST!
Crafsman, I love your injection molding videos right along with everything else. Keep 'em coming whenever you have one you want to make. I may not have an injection molder myself-yet-but I'm always interested in learning what you've been doing with yours.
Pls crafsman dont ever apologize for making what you feel like making, we are just lucky to be part of the journey❤️
I like injection mold videos because you seem to enjoy doing them. I'm commenting this before watching, but I'm excited to see it!
It was a great video! I hope you're doing well, and please keep up the great work!
Just received my enamel pin order from steady craftin and I received one of the pill bottle bots along with a steady craftin sticker and some creole seasoning. Totally excited to have gotten these!
So glad! :D Thank you for the support!
@@TheCrafsMan of course! Thank you for your videos. As an art teacher, it's always refreshing to see more and more support of the arts and the creative process in general. Plus we need more positivity like this. Thank you, sir!
I laughed when you said “my wife said not to say that” yes,, I caught it 😂
I got one of your little makerbots with my Craftnation shirt for Christmas this past year. The bot was a clear one with orange plastic running through it like veins. It's one of the coolest molded plastic things I have ever seen. I know you have probably made like a billion of them by now, but I just wanted to let you know that that small thing is out there in the world being admired and appreciated by someone.
the amount of charm and effort that just OOZES from this channel is palpable. i love it so much 🥺
I don't know how you showed up in my feed or why I clicked on your video, but I am so glad you did and I did. Glad to meet you friend, you're awesome.
God I love the way Crafsman says the different plastics like it's so funny and I love it
When I was a kid, back when no one cared about our safety hahaha. I had a doll making toy that came with plastic pebbles and lots of different metal moulds. The were hot enough to burn the heck out of you if you weren't careful. Lots of fun though. Thanks for a blast from my past ❤
I have no idea what I just watched but RUclips brought me here and I’m just blown away
I love EVERY video you make, no matter whether I intend to do the same crafting as you. I love watching you create things and teach others! ❤️
Repurposing plastics like this is always fascinating. This reminds me of the woodworkers on here who would turn empty milk cartons into blocks of HDPE for projects.
I love watching the injection moulding videos. Your enthusiasm for the projects is what makes it for me
Love to see a use for pill bottles like this. They add up so quickly, and I hate just throwing them out since my area can't recycle them!
Yesss I take 10+ pills a day and it adds up. Crafsman do you take tips in the form of pill bottles? 😂
Apparently they sell on ebay
You can make mini cannons out of them if you're ever that bored. Ever see a pvc potato gun? Same thing. Pill bottle + a pen tube + glue. Make darts out of cotton swabs or something. Use tiny amounts of spray sanitizer or rubbing alcohol for propellant.
The part about explaining the types of plastic is very useful information, this will be my go to video if I forget what is what. Also that little bench shredder is awesome! 👍👊
Hunker down and stay safe. Hope the wild weather side-steps your little shed of wonders.
I may not be able to watch every single video sometimes. But I always enjoy the ones I do see, much love Crafsman
The narrator's voice is so soothing to listen to, I was melting, laughin and learnin.
Great video! 🌞
Another amazing video! I love the way you go into so much detail, make it fun, and educate all at the same time. That negative person behind you doesn't know shinola. By the way, your final injection results look great! The orange color looks fantastic. BTW: Please fasten your seatbelt. We're headed into a little turbulence for next 24 hours. Be safe brother man.
My friend, thank you so much! :) I appreciate you more than I can write up in here.
Also, we hope and pray you and your family stay safe!
Is there anything the CrafsMan can't do? I think no probably not. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your latest adventure. Just keep being you and the works a better place.
I wish I could afford setups like this, there's so many things I wanna make! But I have a good time living vicariously through your videos 👍
I don't have an injection mold machine, but I still like seeing your videos on it and you clearly enjoy it. Share what you enjoy.
Clicked within 1 minute. Perfect timing as always The Crafsman
Same!
As I started watching this, I was thinking if this was in TV when I was a kid, I'd have watched every day. It's funny to me that you're making toys and such because at 60, I collect toys second hand and like to make dolls, doll furniture, and so on, but I also bought this 30" (+/-) star wars robot (cause he's cool), and it's standing next to the kitchen bar. I like toys. And I dig all the modifications grown ups are doing to/with toys they find. Some folks roll their eyes... They're no darn fun!
Cheers crafman and craffamily!
I laughed at the PP joke, but then I died laughing at his confession. 😂🤣🤣🤣💀
I love your videos I listen and watch when I'm stressed or can't sleep and it calms me xxx
Its crazy i should see this tonight. As today, as in other times, I wondered, just what I could do with all my empty pill bottles. Besides some fish hooks etc. Haha. Awesome. I love watching your videos. As soon as I see the words " steady craftin" I smile. 😁
Hey CM! Thinking about Ida... Love and best wishes-- sincerely wishing you, your family and home have safe passage through the storm. Big hugs to you all.
Crafsman, thank you for being so friendly and mello. You made my heart smile just listening. Much love my dude.
I like the injection molding videos BECAUSE I don't have an injection molder!
It lets me vicariously enjoy injection molding without needing to spend money or time on an injection molder 😊
Loved the shrug and the interpersonal advice 😉😊🧡🤟🏼
I was just thinking about your channel last week. I haven't seen any of your videos in a long time. didn't look them up but . . BAM !! there you are. thanks man
Really really need TheCrafsMan to record a bed time story. I can't get enough of his calming voice.
Every time I watch your videos I learns something new and think "you are a genius", keep up the awesome work!!!
YEA IM EXCITED ABOUT THIS
I've been trying to think of what to do with plastics. I have been melting number 5 plastics into a big mound with a heat gun and I feel like there is something else I could be doing with it
I'm not sure what's better your model making talent or your video making talent....awesome!!!
When he put the bits in the grinder for a second go, am I the only one who thought "It's re-grind time!"
Ordinary Sausage!
ya know, my day had been alright but after seeing this, my day got exponentially better, i didn’t know i needed this content but THIS is it
I can not lie your just incredible.
bruh. I just seen crafsman for the first time.... mesmerising. fantastic was hooked early. something soothing about it. Thank you. so much expression in the puppet to
Crafsman, after seeing the end results of the melted down med bottles, I was gonna suggest you make a figure/character based on a pill bottle, but then I realized that was a weird idea so, yeah don't do that. It does kinda look like the color of honey though, so maybe an injection molded, bee themed figure? Like a bee that is itself a beekeeper? I dunno (gives best Crafsman style shrug)
Loved this. Your voice is mellow and calming, and the subject was well filmed. Thanks for sharing!
out the gate, I wasn't sure I'd stick around. the voice was throwing me off.
but I did stick around, and I've got to say that I'm a fan! subbed!
Using our empty pill bottles to create the robot workforce that will eventually replace us: "This is the part of the program where I would tell a joke, but, you know..."
And to think I throw away several of those bottles a month. I should package them up for the crafsman. Loves this fun video! Puppet crafsman is so funny!
A joke for you Crafsman: Why does 4 never talk to 3 or 5?
Because 4 is two squared.
😂
Lol
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 ate 9🤣🤣🤣
Tried to weigh a 🌈. It was pretty light.
@@mattrinne 🤣🤣🤣
Just stumbled on this channel through my recommendations. I love it! Chill Vibes, Science, DIYs, and a relaxing soothing voice.
CrafsMan is a modern day Bob Ross. Bringing the joy of craftin' everyone.
He sure is. Such a peaceful being.
This is the best suggested by youtube I have ever received. Thank you CrafsMan for this entertaining and informative video!
Retirement home employee: Sir what are you doing in the dumpster?
Some guy: I'm looking for plastic for toy making.
Retirement home employee: sir that's where we throw our "sharps" the medication jars are in that dumpster over there.
*Guy comes out the dumpster looking like a porcupine* Oh well that explains it.
I can't stop watching because of your hypnotic voice.
I feels good to watch see content by someone that talks and sound like me and do the same type of hobbies I love....it’s so dope man
Minor correction: That's not a recycling symbol, it's a Resin Identification Code: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_identification_code
The plastics industry copied the public domain recycling symbol (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_symbol) to make it seem like all plastics are recyclable. The symbol does not indicate if the plastic is recyclable or not, and many aren't
I love the injection molding videos, they're satisfying for me, something about the action of the lever being pulled and the plastic filling the mold, it's like an ice cream machine but you get to keep the finished product. Also maybe one day I'll have or make one and then this info will be even more directly useful. Plus I genuinely like to know what has your interest at any given time, just as I do with all of my favourite youtubers, I follow you all for a reason.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Also, I’m working on a video about a much cheaper injection machine alternative. :D
@@TheCrafsMan That sounds like it'll be really interesting, I'll look forward to that video! Thank you for all the wonderful content you create and being such a great creator.
I have never, ever found such beautiful and trippy content that’s also so educational on RUclips! It’s like an engineering version of joe pera talks with you. I love it!
Those little orange robots look way too much like candy
No worries Crafsman, I love all your injection molding videos. They're all very educational.
I love your puppet! He's so wonky and sweet! It feels like he gives permission for me to be wonky and sweet too.
:D I appreciate this SO MUCH! Thank you!
You are a national treasure, Crafsman. Keep on steady craftin'.
I appreciate how you go through proper safety.
I'll never do anything with injection molding. I still watch every one. They're FASCINATING. Do not be discouraged.
Caught a glimpse of those punished props stickers in the background! Another great video, thanks again.
I just stumbled on this channel, and I had no idea how much I needed this in my life.
Last year I ordered a t-shirt to the UK because I wanted to support Crafsman and all his work. I put a little note asking if it would be okay if I could get the Galaxy perler bead Makerbot. Because of Covid and Brexit, the shirt got stuck in customs. I messaged him and Crafsman sent out another. That one got stuck too.
Since I only bought the t-shirt to support Crafsman, I asked him not to send another and that it was okay. I'd just wait.
Fast forward to noticing his new shop and with new pins. I bought one.
During a particularly bad week, feeling really sad and low because of personal stuff, the pin arrived.
With the shirt tucked inside.
And stickers.
And Tony's.
And, right at the bottom, a silver-grey Makerbot and a galaxy-coloured one.
I keep the lil robot on me and whenever I feel bad and I just take it out and think about kindness.
Thank you, Crafsman. You made a difficult month so much better.
Charlie, this comment means so much to my wife and me.
We were bigtime disheartened when we learned the package was held up.
Interesting how it worked out...
My wife sent that 2nd package out feeling bad that we didn't have another galaxy glitter bot to include with it, seeing as how it was stuck in that first package.
But the 1st package eventually bounced back, SHORTLY before you ordered from the new site, and we were able to include it with that order. The timing on all that was really neat.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being such a wonderful person. We sincerely appreciate your support and kind words.
That joke was classic!😁
Also really appreciate the paraphrased "jump around" intro👍📻🔊
The messages and life tips keep me always steady… craftin my way through life 🙏🏼
Crafsman!!!! Thank you for doing your work! You light up my life, my friend~
I know you had it for awhile but I love your Craftnation Presents intro. Just gets me in the nostalgia. With that and the new MotU figures I bought, it’s like I’m 5 years old, skipping tee ball to watch He-man again.
1 - Thank you for including a lil black colored mini guy in our sticker order, Crafsman! We'll have to get hold of one of those orange ones so that they can have duels!
2 - That "shrug" you did with Crafspuppet was impressively good.
Thank you for finally showing me the back of your head ‘cause you know it is hard to make a 3D replica of something unless you know what it looks like from different angles. I know if you don’t know you can just make it up, but often it is more respectful to be accurate in your portrayal.
#7 plastic is my favorite, growing up my mom kept this one clear gallon milk jug that had the best looking, and best feeling texture to it..
I think about it from time to time
Oh! My! Goodness❣️ Stumbled across your video today (probably because I have been watching some Lego videos lately. As an aside, I haven’t owned Lego since the early 80’s 😆)
What a delightful & charming presentation! And the puppet is an excellent way to connect with the audience. He’s got such personality and natural mannerisms. It’s Sesame Street for grownups. You have an amazing talent for communication. Hugs to the little guy. 🤗
Now this was dope!! But so does everything Craftsman does. Craftsman you’re a beautiful creature !!
Now, practical, simple, and very ingenious… thank you!
