I love how in his intro he says “crafsman” like it’s some mystical force of magic, this channel is truly a gem

First time viewer and I clicked this by mistake. Best non-decision *_ever_*

Some summarizationary tips for anyone interested in making molds from 3D prints: - These molds failed: Un-sealed 3D printed object, and primer-coated 3D printed object (even after sealing). - Some suggest the molds didn't sit long enough to cure. This is not the case. These 4-hour cure silicone molds were left overnight. With silicone inhibition, it would be goopy-galoppy like that indefinitely. - I was able to get a successful mold once I sealed the 3D print with an acrylic spray. - Some are saying to use specifically "Krylon Crystal Clear", but "Krylon ColorMaster Acrylic Crystal Clear" worked for me, as shown. However, I advise going with "Krylon Crystal Clear", as it sounds like it's the go-to for most people. - The 3D object that was sprayed with primer (Rustoleum 2x matte white) and THEN sealed with clear acrylic did NOT cure. (Could be inhibition from a chemical in the primer spray.) - I WAS able to get a mold of the primer-sprayed version using tin-cure silicone (Mold Max 40). - Lastly, it depends on the 3D print resin. For example, I made the "SC" button molds from unsealed Anycubic Translucent Green. But objects printed using Elegoo Gray resin require a sealer. Hope this helps someone else!

"That's what they call extremely disappointing right there" I love that Crafsman doesnt get upset, I could fall asleep listening to his calm voice. Reminds me so much of Bob Ross

"That little boom shaka laca right there" Never change CrafsMan, never change.

how we respond to failure is an indicator of the quality of our character. your's is top notch.

When steady craftin, remember the two P's: persistence and patience.

This channel is a hidden treasure in the depths of KZfaq. Crafsman, you have won my undying loyalty in less than 24 hours.

1 week: "might be scaling things back cause, you know..." 2 week: "longest video eva"

The Crafsman is like a cross between Bob Ross and Adam Savage, with a healthy dose of southern hospitality thrown in.

33:17 I laughed SO hard at that "fo real tho .." I almost choked on my food. Crafsman you hella funny. I am definitely watching this one again.

Commenting to lend some algorithm weight, and to say I'm looking forward to sitting back and relaxing with some tea and watching this one!

Crafsmans a dad? Lucky kid.

Crafsman he just the best. Would love to see him do some more metal casting - bronze, silver or even gold into lost wax, for sure. Maybe try making a wax positive for reproduction using plaster and mold wax. Mmmm love me some Tonys and some slap yo mammas seasonings, especially in my Gumbo. You know whats wicked cheap to create your first positive for wax - dental alginate - cast your 3d print into aliginate, remove the print, pour in your jewellers wax, then make your silicone mold off the wax positive - super cheap - like Justin Wilson say, - I gar-on-tee! Or if you 3D resing printing for some fine detail - print the mold instead of printing the positive - got to be a way to do that 👍

Oh also, if you made a mold of your stirring stick and sold resin copies of the stick, I would absolutely buy one and use it whenever I mix my silicone.

crafsman feels like the bob Ross of crafts

If you ever make a Crafsman sticker about not having a microwave let us know. I got a water bottle that needs one.

"And eventually they had to close down the store."

i love how a lot of the video is him rambling about various things like DLC and the original free range chicken. don’t change a bit man. love it.

I can't be the only person that came here looking for DIY stuff and stayed for the warmth, the smart and funny chat, and the just all-round loveliness. As well as the steady craftin', obviously.

"Some people think I'm bonkers, but I just think I'm free, Man, I'm just livin' my life There's nothin' crazy about me"

Mr Crafsman, you’re my greatest inspiration, keep on being such a nice person

Bonkers used to be my favorite candy. No one remembers them, even though they had a whole series of great commercials when I was a kid.

Crafsman, you got big Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross energy. I really dig your stuff, keep on steady craftin!

35:03 "We about to call in the reinforcements." *summons big stick* "Ah Snap!"

“Craftman does not own a microwave” I don’t know why that got me so well

Crafsman, moving forward, you could make every episode 40+ min. I will watch and enjoy everyone.

"I'll just watch a few minutes of this" *43 minutes later*

Oh man, I laughed so hard at the tablecloth trick. 10/10

I'm going to be able to print and mold figurines and action figures for patrons because of you. Thank you kindly for everything you're teaching. Also, that specific Pilot Precise is my favorite pen in the world.

You are a savior, action figures arent cheap, but buying one and casting it is more cheap

My mom has a friend from Louisiana that told me about Tony’s about 8 years ago. Life (and most any food you can think of) has never been more delicious since that introduction! Greetings from California and keep on steady craftin’ CrafsMan

Thank you Crafsman - your "failures" are more interesting and enlightening than most people's successes. Keep On Keepin' On sir! :)

Found this channel by accident. Now it’s my favorite.

I don’t understand why Crafsman’s voice is so relaxing. For which ever reason it is, I’m grateful I found this channel and can just chill.

43 whole minutes i got me a bargain today. 4 videos for the price of one!! Thanks Crafsman!

Crafsman, every time I mess up on something and have to fix it, I decided to view it as getting an opportunity to gain new skills. I call it leveling up... and you definitely did here!!

As someone from South Louisiana, I appreciate crafsman sharing the amazingness that is Tony's with the world.

"that belongs to you, a gift from me" Crafsman, that was beautiful.

I keep hearing the word “production” That sounds very exciting.

I got sooo excited for you when the mold worked. Then the angelic music showing it off, I lost it. Great Job, Crafsman!

That angelic music turnaround for the test cast was even better when you remember it's happening in a trash can. Agua was always my favorite sculpt! I like fish, amphibians, and reptiles and the lines on it are very clean. Hopefully I'll be able to buy one!

Your voice is so calm and soothing. It’s like an older wiser person teaching a younger person. I love these videos.

Dear Crafsman, Thank you for inspiring me to keep on keeping on. I've been watching your videos while I do my thesis in grad school and whenever I wanna quit, I got you crafting by my side, reminds me that I got to keep going. Also started to do clay craft as well from your chicken episode. thank you!

Crafsman eats a lotta sour cream

Doesn't matter how down, how stressed, how anxious I am, of which right now, I am all three... you always... always make me laugh. Thank you :)

We couldn’t love you any more than we already do, sir 💙💙💙. You can make even all that trial and error seem like a spiritual journey.

I am beyond happy I found this channel months ago. Every video you post is a lovely, relaxing and interesting break from my rough life. Your like a modern Bob Ross, Craftsman. Never change and thank you for all that you do.

43+ minutes of relaxation 😌

"What in the world is this man doing?" 😂😂

I used to face lots of “tributaries”as a picture framer. I always told my coworkers this is how we learn what not to do. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. I just found you in March of 2023. I have been binge watching and laughing today. Blessings to you and yours.

Crafsman really has saved my life.

It's never a waste if you learn a valuable lesson from it..love the twig stir stick...lol

Thank you Craftsman for sharing your creativity, passion and time with us. You have a grand community of people who appreciate you very much!

your patience, precision and personality are top notch!

I remember Bonkers. I am grateful I grew up in the same era as the Crafsman-every video is packed full of shared memories.

This is really wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your learning experience with us. Every mold maker has a chapter in their biography titled "Curing Inhibition". I've had my share, especially with Mold Star 15. Great solution! =)

The more I learn about the crafsman the more of a mystery he becomes...

I love how it kept coming back to “42”, I was anticipating a Hitchhiker’s Guide reference. 42 = everything, meaning of life = crafsman

"What was I talkin' about?" I don't know, man. I was just enjoying your soothing tone and forgetting my troubles for a minute

43 minutes of Crafsman!! Oh, Christmas has come early!!

"later he had to close down the store...." That's one of the best stories he's ever told on here

I'm not interested in ever casting with resin, but I love watching your videos... I'm completely invested, ha ha, in seeing you get the perfect cast. 👍😍

Love that you show both errors and successes

When I saw the stick I thought “primitive crafs technology - mixing sticknicity”

"das my gluv."

Thank you for sharing all this. A lot of tricks and knowledge in craftsmanship tend to stay secret when people are trying to get one up on their competition. You're treating the world like a friend, and I appreciate that a lot.

35:22 This statement alone is why I watch you CrafsMan...knowing is half the battle

5:35 "dlc? Sounds like a sandwich to me" 😂 I love this channel so much

Dude! My girl just threw out her Blockbuster membership card today. It seems like yesterday that video stores just opened up. Now they're history!

TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin knocking it out of the park once again. Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement. NY loves you!

There's the Crafsman up in here given' us the best life lessons. Never give up, just keep on crafsin on

Crafsman, you should try a video on swirling/marbling multiple colors in resin casts. I've been trying to recast old plastic army men toys from the 1960s and 70s. These videos are the best on youtube for this kind of thing! Keep up the awesome work!

This week on SteadyCraftin, Groot drops by to lend a hand mixing the silicone for the molds.

intro is how every artist works

It's so cool that this video shows the early conception of what would become the pocketnaut. Obviously it's changed a lot but that's how the process of creation goes. But it's so neat seeing the whole history of the worlds itty bittiest space explorer

I really love the informal yet nicely edited style you have going, Im only 15 mins in and have laughed a few times with your glove malfunctions! Makes me smile, thanks Crafsman!

that was a fast 43 minutes.

I keep coming back. You are the Tabitha of the craft world. Much love.

I've been binge-watching some lately and still have to say. Crafsman, you're one of the best edutainment channels on here.

The intro shot with of the reaction of "...anyway" and then the "When when situation" joke had me laughing so hard

"When-When". A new classic. I dig it.

Absolutely love your videos! The calmnicity and the jokes. I'm more than ok watching 45 minutes of Crafsman.

Just about died when he yanked the paper out from under the thank you letters. “Anyway...” 😂

Catching up with all your videos, and this one, so far, is the funniest I have watched from you xD. Great job!

0:50 definitely made me laugh.

i love this guy, he is like the bob ross of craftin, watching these videos helps my anxiety attacks calm down and go away, and i learn lots of new things it's really great :)

Oh Crafsman!!! That VHS Store story is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

Mahalo for you, brother. You’re by far my favorite “KZfaqr.” Big kine inspirational.

almost 400 views and no dislikes. you’re doing it right crafsman

Holy up. A feature-length CrafsMan episode?! All right! Time to get my popcorn poppin'!

My NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL!! LOVE THIS WONDERFUL GENTELMAN!!!!

When life gives you problems: Bob and weave

I love that you share your craft with your children! When you made that figure with your son too, that was so cute. I love coming to my parents for ideas when I'm creating.

TINSEL!!! I just remembered what the leaded stuff we used to hang on Christmas trees in the 60s! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Crafsman, you creative genius astounded me the entire time

I wish I could hit the like button tons of times on this video.

Voice so smooth, he could talk a baby crawfish tail out of its shell. Keep on steady craftin.

I have been searching the video where Crafsman says he has no microwave and this is it! The sticker makes much more sense, haha!
