Crafsman. You're the most relaxing and soothing person on RUclips. Also I've got the same disorder! I feel you and when I heard you talk about Generalised Anxiety Disorders I cried. Love you Crafsman, keep on craftin
Hey crafsman. Me and my mom used to love watching you. My mom died on January 25th of this year, so I've kind of been struggling to watch your videos. But it always makes me happy when I see them on my home page. Thank you so much for being yourself, you are a gift.
Please listen when Crafsman says to wear a dust mask or to stay away from those old fashioned chemicals if you can. I worked with high VOC chemicals for several years and I'm paying the price for it now. Craft steadily, but craft safely. :)
Oh bless your heart! What a gem you are. You managed to answer all my questions and some! I’m going to carry this smile you put on my face with me all day. Thank you, Sir. Keep shining!
A steadycam stabilizer with an electronic gimbal is definitely what you need, crafsman. It would help you expand on your film side, and we all know how much you like this whole new age video science.
I just discovered this channel and it is so wholesome it brought me to tears. But not because of the woodstain because I did what the Crafsman said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hey Crafsmamma. Crafsman needs one of them steady-cam gimble-type thing-a-ma-bobs for his moving shots in his videos. If you would please allow him to get himself one of those things, Crafsman and we all would be much obliged. Thank you
I'll let you know in the comments, that i respect and appreciate you. Thank you for another great video, truly a safe place at this time. Much love to you and the CrafsFamily.
This Crafs-fan likes Crafsman's shakey camerawork, personally. Its part of what makes his channel wonderful. But if he wants a gimbal, who am I to question an artist?
For me, it's the smell of Copydex latex glue that reminds me of my Grandpa. I always wanted to do crafty/arty things at his house as a little kid, and Copydex was the only adhesive he had. Of course, I just ended up sitting and huffing the glue because I was 7.
Cool Crafsman! I'll definitely try this! My Great Grandfather used to make his own paint for his artwork by scraping pigment from reclaimed wallpaper! He was a very good painter, and ended up working with Pittsburgh law enforcement drawing suspects from eye witnesses.
Crafsman, I just wanna let you know, I am indeed prescribed to your channel. Doc said it was the most wholesome medication for these crazy-crazy 2020 times.
Not sure if you ever saw the technique, but you can stain wood with coffee or tea then spray on the apple cider vinegar/steel wool solution to set the stain. Non-toxic and the coffee or tea gives it a very warm, rich color. Oh, and Crafsmama, please let Crafsman get an image stabilizer gimbal. Truth be told, it's not for him, it's for us; you don't want us gettin' sea-sick from a shakey-cam, do you? Thanks!
Crafsman, I love ya, brother. Thanks for another great video! 👍😀👽🤖👾🦑🐙 Something to keep in mind though... Watering down acrylics thins out the polymers that allows the paint to stick to the wood. It will not take long for it to fade due to physical contact (like furniture) or microscopic flaking (such as walls, etc.) I would recommend either diluting the paint or sealing the well dried (overnight if possible) finished project with low odor acrylic sealer. Especially if it's too be used outside.
@@vectorequilibrium4493 That's a great, non-toxic and inexpensive idea for indoor items that you don't have a lot of contact with, like picture frames and other decorative items, but may yellow over time. Especially in an area that doesn't get a lot of natural light. 👍🐶🐧⚽️😎🐦
Mrs. CrafsMama, you are a wonderful person and Mr. CrafsMan says he needs a "steady cam stabilizer, one of them gimbal electronic gimbal". We would all love to see him have it/one/Animal/ Vegetable/ Mineral (whatever it is)..We all believe he needs one in order for him to continue enlightening the world on the AMAZING WAYS OF The CrafsMAN Steady Craftin!!! XOXO!!!!
Using a sponge feels like a mind blowing revelation that i'll use when i paint a cosplay prop. Thats so smart. I cant believe i didnt think of that. The stain tips are amazing too. I havent stained because of the fumes but this one i can definitely use.
This Rebecca fully supports your decorating ideas, Crafsman! You know good and well if you 'need' a steady cam, Crafsmama would think of it first. You trying to get us in trouble with her! I know better. Love ya!
Good morning mr crafsman!! I wanted to let you know that i went out looking at garage/estate sales yesterday and kept seeing stuff that reminded me of you! Old toys, cameras, bits n bobs. There was even a horse from a carousel! Lots of cool stuff
When you said " If I was a full-time RUclipsr, I would say, Is it Ok to paint wood? leave a comment in the comment section?" I laughed. You crack me up. Crafsman, I am stealing that one.
Craftsman, it feels like I’m in the Truman show because I just finished a carving a bear into my desk and thought it would be a good idea to stain it, but I had no idea how to do it until now. Thanks for the informative video!
I’ve been watching DIY videos for about 50 years on RUclips, and CrafsMama, it looks to me like he needs a lil’ steady cam stabilizer, one of them gimbal, electronic gimbal.
Oh are you kidding me Crafsman?! I was just trying to find a way to stain a 200lb antique barn door and you come in here and save the day with this here video! Bless you friend 💜 I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.
Oh Wow Crafsman! I was just about to start on a small project, and didn't want to buy expensive wood stains. I am very appreciative of this video, it is right on time for me. Thank You!! About, do I think wood should be painted? Well, personally I am not a big fan of painted wood, but an antique dealer friend of mine said, alot of nice old furniture would have been lost to rot, if it hadn't been painted. She explained, a lot of the furniture she acquired over time, came out of old barns, and the paint kept it protected. So, I guess I am thankful because I have some nice antiques that were formally painted. Thanks again for the video!! Also, Mrs CrafsMama, Crafsman said he could use a gimble..... I hope i said that right. Have a great day!!
I absolutely loved this video!! It's exactly what I was looking to do for staining with water based paint and the whitewash over top. Very comical as well.
Grandpa moment there but brought it back around with some humor. And thank you for the pallet wood idea. I’m looking at a stack from here that was to be broken down Today. But your video came out and I still had some coffee left.....
@TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin very fitting for me that you came out with this video today because tomorrow I am staining a guitar fx pedalboard I'm building from pinewood shelves.
I was thinking about this same exact thing just this morning (to be used for a small table I'll be reusing) and Crafsman uploads a video about it!? You can read my mind Crafsman! 🤣
I found if I sand it lightly -because it raised the woods grain a little bit- with a high number sand paper (I had 1200 & did it quick) and I applied a 2nd layer of the paint/water mixture .. then did a nice finish. The end result was so beautiful. A second layer isn’t necessary but it did add amazing depth. 🌹
@@JPlstr I know it sounds crazy but I use Windsor & Newton’s Professional Spray Gloss Varnish when I want a really high gloss finish.. and then I do the last glossy finish. It brings OUT the woods grains shapes/colors amazingly well. I get it at Michaels with a coupon code online.. it’s back with the acrylic & oil paints on the top row usually. There’s 2 cans that look the same so be sure to check for ‘Professional’ .. the other says multi-use or something & that’s not it. But yah.. I do light coats, spraying left to right and then top to bottom. On the 3rd or 4th coat something magical happens! If the piece is light use this can be the end after it cures. It does smell terrible so I do it in the garage quickly and run inside after each spraying .. but it’s so pretty. Try on a test piece tho bc your humidity or something may be different from mine. I use this on my acrylic art pieces and one day I wondered how it would be on a little table. The results are great!! 💜💜💜
@@JPlstr and yessss Crafsman is genius!! With the best timings too. Crafsmama must be the best support ever 🌹 I’ve seen a couple review videos on Amazon that have his hands/gloves .. there’s no mistaking Crafsman’s black gloves/hands. Seems it led to a shop called Hidden Treasures or something- memory fails me lol. But Amazon makes it impossible to get to any certain store. Sooo frustrating bc I wanted to see what Crafsman/mama have for sale. Oh well, maybe another day 😁 Ok y’all have a beautiful day! I’m in Oklahoma & the weather is changing here.. leaves are just about to start falling 🍁 ✌️✌️
This video was uploaded at the most serendipitous time for me, I was just wondering how I could make a stain for my guitar. Thanks, Crafsman, great job as usual.
I think it's okay to paint over wood if it makes you happy. There's some woods like cherry or walnut that don't make sense financially to paint over, but paint makes for a very durable finish and it can hide imperfections. Solid wood furniture is definitely a premium option in today's world, and some people want to show off the natural beauty of the wood, but I think that a painted finish can be beautiful too in some applications.
I'm not a wood purist even though I am a woodworker, so I'm definitely fine with coloring wood a million different ways. I just want it to be beautiful!
Love that steel wool/vinegar technique plus the others too. I hate breathing in those stain fumes. Acrylic seems a lot more forgiving. Thanks, Crafsman! Oh, and a Steadicam only seems fair for SteadyCraftin.
I was looking up paint wash, and already watched 3 videos deep... started sounding repetitive. Paint, water, check. Then this came up. I saw the puppet, and the heard the soothing voice, and I just had to watch it. And yeah, I was 3 videos deep, but ONLY this one gave me steel wool and vinegar quick and free. And only this one made me slime.
I’m about to do a pallet wall, have the wood ready to stain. Then you have this video, and I love the idea of using water stains. Thanks, didn’t know this was possible. Now my wood can be any colour!
This video came along at the perfect time! I do woodburning, airbrushing and paint graphics on skateboard decks and discovered (by accident) that if you add too much water, the acrylic paint just soaks into the wood and has the same effect as staining. It was totally a mistake, but turns out, I actually really liked it. The grains show through really well and enhances the natural look of the wood. Plus, you can use any color you like. I think it's great!
Also it will raise the grain a bit. I found if I sand it lightly with a high number paper (1000 or 1200 just quickly) and apply another layer then follow up with a nice finish it is unreal beauty! Happy Arting. 👌💯✌️
@@debrajol3585 I'll have to try that. I like having a really smooth, glossy finish. I was using paper towels as an ultra fine sand paper, but I read another comment in the Facebook group that newspaper works well as a very fine abrasive to help polish it.
Been doing this for years. I used it on my kitchen woodwork more than 7 yrs ago. Still good. I even did a floor with it 5 yrs ago. Except for some fading in one spot, still good. I mop it with vinegar solution.
CrafsMan, Iam very luck to have had seen another one of you're amazing videos. I had just bought some wood and stain for a project. Hope all is well, Thank you for sharing you're knowledge.
im a professional painter w over 30 yrs experience and your tips are right on!! if you do wanna use oil stains you may want to consider better brands than minwax, ben moore or ppg stains/polys have a much higher solid content and will perform better. keep crafin'
That gives me some good ideas. You can get a big box of 1000 paint sticks for like 50 bucks. Those would be really great for stain testing and for crafting.

Do you know how much it means to hear this? It means a LOT.
Can you send me in this comment that I'm a banana
I needed
Stopped after 3 seconds just to say how much that Craftnation/Filmation opening warms my heart!... now back to the video!
Nostalgia +10
Crafsmama... please let Mr. The Crafsman get steadycam gimble thingy cause he gots the shakey shakes. alll right.
I second that.
I Third that..#steadyFilming
A couple shots 🥃 would fix shakey shakes right up! Not too many though, you make messy mess🤤
Your humor is subtle but so funny. And your voice is very relaxing. Much love!
Crafsman you have changed my outlook on life. You make me feel positive, and that's the greatest gift to give someone. I hope you're well today
Crafsman. You're the most relaxing and soothing person on RUclips.
Also I've got the same disorder! I feel you and when I heard you talk about Generalised Anxiety Disorders I cried.
Love you Crafsman, keep on craftin
See, my problem is I _love_ the way the wood stain smells. Even before my magical leopard-dragon friend shows up, it just smells so good.
Hey crafsman. Me and my mom used to love watching you.
My mom died on January 25th of this year, so I've kind of been struggling to watch your videos. But it always makes me happy when I see them on my home page. Thank you so much for being yourself, you are a gift.
This man is an absolute legend
He’s a treasure
Crafsmama you best be gettin' Crafsman one of them gimble stabalizers for his videos. Fix up this mess right here.
I'm not telling Mama anything. You're trying to get me in trouble.
😎
I do not understand why people would dislike this video, best channel find of the year. Thank you crafman!
Please listen when Crafsman says to wear a dust mask or to stay away from those old fashioned chemicals if you can. I worked with high VOC chemicals for several years and I'm paying the price for it now. Craft steadily, but craft safely. :)
Crafsman, you are a beam of light in a dark, dark world
Crafsman, i just want to thank you for making a RUclips channel. your videos are so calming and helpful
In the same moment I noticed the "are you prescribed" sticker, it changed to "are you subscribed." Crafsman puts so much work into the details.
Oh bless your heart! What a gem you are. You managed to answer all my questions and some!
I’m going to carry this smile you put on my face with me all day. Thank you, Sir. Keep shining!
Whenever I need a boost of positivity TheCrafsMan always makes me smile. 😀

Wow that Filmation intro is SUPER nostalgic!!
Just perfect.
The best days are new CrafsMan video days. Thanks so much for putting in the time and work to bring these to us.

I'll let you know in the comments, that i respect and appreciate you. Thank you for another great video, truly a safe place at this time. Much love to you and the CrafsFamily.

You are the bob Ross of casting, molds and resin. Love watching your videos. Very calming!
This guy is awesome!
This has become my favorite Crafsman video. GOLD!!
Cool Crafsman! I'll definitely try this!
My Great Grandfather used to make his own paint for his artwork by scraping pigment from reclaimed wallpaper! He was a very good painter, and ended up working with Pittsburgh law enforcement drawing suspects from eye witnesses.
Man Crafsman I've seen so many marriages destroyed by lime and calcium carbonate.
That whitewash came out so much better than I thought!! Would look good as a porch floor
I don’t do woodwork just came on so you can make me laugh 🙌🏻. Have a beautiful day.

turned on captions just for fun and I could swear me and the algorithm are watching two different progrums
edit: 00:10:19 that was a cool shot, CM!
Crafnation--now, that's a country I can live in! Also, I can dig the use of an embossing labeler; I've got four myself!
Crafsman doing good...he got that Ace Hardware money...
That's because of all the money he saved by buying that vinegar at Fred's Dollar Store.

This one was straight up asmr. Perfection
LOVE the CRAFNATION intro. Straight out of a Hanna Barbera Productions studio, to be sure!
Keep on steady craftin!

CrafsMan, I really enjoyed this. Please keep making these presentations! They're very good!
Crafsman is literally the best. I like it when he zooms in on himself and plays some horrific sound before saying his name lol
Crafsman, our things are meant to make us happy and make our homes please us. So yeah, you can paint your wood if you want to. :)

Back to basics. AWESOMENESS
Crafsmama, get this man a steady cam!
Crafsmama, Crafsman, he be cool, he has good tips fo us poor folks. Let him get this stabilizer thingy!
Love that steel wool/vinegar technique plus the others too. I hate breathing in those stain fumes. Acrylic seems a lot more forgiving. Thanks, Crafsman!
Oh, and a Steadicam only seems fair for SteadyCraftin.
I was looking up paint wash, and already watched 3 videos deep... started sounding repetitive. Paint, water, check. Then this came up.
I saw the puppet, and the heard the soothing voice, and I just had to watch it.
And yeah, I was 3 videos deep, but ONLY this one gave me steel wool and vinegar quick and free. And only this one made me slime.
This is so helpful to me on more than one project I got going on right now.
Another helpful video for the rest of us to enjoy!
I could have really used this like 2 weeks ago. This is excellent!
Crafsman, I Love Your videos! Your voice is so relaxing.
Love the little intro animation

This was just the tutorial I needed!!!
Thank you Crafsman!
A dose of joy for the day! Thank you Crafsman!
never thought about this method so thankyou. I would perhaps use a cloth wad rather than a brush. nice to watch you again. take care.

DIY and ASMR in one channel❤️
Perfect timing! Too many of my laser cut projects, look laser cut! Need me some stain😎
What a timely video. I’m about to do a project but this will be perfect for.
im a professional painter w over 30 yrs experience and your tips are right on!! if you do wanna use oil stains you may want to consider better brands than minwax, ben moore or ppg stains/polys have a much higher solid content and will perform better. keep crafin'
Digging that lofi tune, CrafsMan!
That gives me some good ideas. You can get a big box of 1000 paint sticks for like 50 bucks. Those would be really great for stain testing and for crafting.
And we love you too! Wonderful video as always.
