"I'm not very good at painting." *proceeds to paint amazing chicken*

''I know it isn't an action figure cause it doesn't have any moving parts but look at this.'' **moves and makes the whole model dance**

This little guy is perfect. Your videos make me feel like everything will be okay.

"I got the shaky shakes" Happy accidents level 100

I stumbled on your channel and man you make a person feel at home. Your voice and how you interact with your audience. Also you seem passionate about your work. I wish you well and hope that you continue to thrive.

NOTICE: The "Free-Range Chicken" figures will be sold as a DIY, in blank white. This video is really just showing one example of what is possible with painting. I'm excited to see what YOU all do with these! ALSO, I need to come up with some type of unificated hashtag people can use, so that anyone posting pictures of their painted & customized figures will have them seen by others. :D

Earl Grey 😂 ♥

Anybody that unsubscribes from the Crafsman should be blasted off this earth with one of those chicken rocket packs. Crafsman is the best channel on KZfaq. Period

CrafsMan...seriously one of the best KZfaqrs out there. As a longtime model builder and artist, I have to tell you I get so much joy watching you do your thing. Nothing better than getting lost in tinkering and getting in touch with your creativity. You deliver each video with quality, sincerity, good hearted humor and kindness. Keep doing what you do, and we’ll all be better for it. God bless.

“Look at Earl Grey back there. Hello.” 🤣🤣🤣 This is the best channel ever!

Yes, I'm so glad that I discovered your channel, you are so good at this and you take the time to read the comments, which shows that you are keeping an eye on the opinion of your subs! THANK YOU!

Mr Crafsman you sound like TheCrafsMan and no one else. You're incredible!!! Would love an update on the bees haha

I like how you read and reply to all your comments.

Pinky tip when painting is on point- I've painted miniatures for years and that is one of the best tips for new painters. Many thin coats, washes, dry brushing, blending on the eyes... You may say you aren't gifted at painting, but you know the tricks, and your chicken came out looking awesome! Thanks for sharing, I'm excited to paint a chicken!

Even if I never make a figure, create a mold for it, cast copies, or paint it, I've enjoyed watching the videos! I love that your crafts and videos are accessible for us regular folk, and my goodness, are you enjoyable and relaxing to listen to! Thanks for sharing!

My husband and I just discovered your channel, and we can't stop giggling! We'll be watching ALLLLLLL your videos!

You're the Bob Ross of crafts my man.

I can’t wait to order a free range chicken 🐓 👍🏽

Your "Free-Range Chicken" is a piece of art, Crafsman. Please sign and number each one of your amazing pieces. Love all of your videos and your positive attitude. I know you are steady-busy, but I think we would all love some SteadyCraftin mugs :)

First time watcher and now subscriber. I’m a 31 year old graphic design student and a Air Force Veteran and I’ve been wanting to make my own character from sketch to model. You are a idol for any adult still wanting to create and be imaginative. Love your videos!

I love your videos. I just found your channel a couple of days ago. I love it when you were playing with the chicken and went on a tangent of Earl Grey.

Please do a video showing some of your miscellaneous little items like keys, bolts, gears, tin boxes.. stuff like that!

I could listen to him saying "hello" all the time. CrafsMan, please say "hello" more often.

15:19 so considerate and good-natured he apologized to his paint brush.

This has been my absolute favorite video of yours. I've made coasters from your wood-transfer videos, I've made cabochons into fridge magnets and pendants, and I've sent them to the people I love. They've teared up from the gesture, and that's all because of you. Thank you.

Hey Crafsman. I'm a professional illustrator and I've been painting professionally for almost 10 years. Love your videos. Just wanted to drop a few tips for keeping your brushes nice and in good condition. I noticed that your purple brush had some flaking paint and the tip was a little wobbly. Also I saw that you keep your brushes in your water a lot. I'd suggest keeping your brushes on a clean paper towel next to your water source when your not using them to paint. This prevents the water from soaking up into the wood and causing it to expand. When it the wood dries it will contract and cause the paint on the handle to flake off. Over time it will also cause the metal tip holding the brush fibers/hairs to become loose and it may fall off entirely. When your ready to clean your brushes you can use regular dish soap or Masterson's brush cleaner and preserver to remove any paint from the tip. If you use just a bit of left over soap to shape the tip and let that dry it will keep your brush tip in good shape. I know you said some of the brushes you had were cheaper ones so it's probably not that big a deal. But if you have some nice brushes in your collection this will help keep them around for many years. Again Love your videos I hope this helps in some way.

I found the first free range chicken video when i was having a bad day and it made me feel so much better. It's so obvious how genuinely you love creating and I think it's so sweet and amazing to watch

You should make a whole world around Free Range Chicken. You can make a cartoon about the adventures of Free Range Chicken. I think you’re onto something my friend.

'Some lil' bumpy bump thang like dat' : ))))) Your powers of description are a joy

Free-Range Chicken needs his own series! Thanks CrafsMan for your videos...You always make me smile.💜

"They're gonna be chickens at the end of the day." Sums up owning chickens perfectly.

Finding this channel is the best thing that happened to me this year. Brings back the pure joy of crafting.

"Look at Earl Grey right there. Hello"😂😂😂😂

Another great video. Your really need your own TV show.

Love seeing it all come together. If it clucks like an action figure and wears a jet pack like an action figure, then, in my book, it’s an action figure.

Dude you killed me with that waterboy comment. I laughed so loud that people were staring at me. "Looking grimey" should be on a shirt. Love this channel and what you do.

Nothing better than a CrafsMan video to start the weekend! .....loveeee your work and SUPER educational as well! ♥

You could put a little of the fake hay stuff at the bottom of the package so it won't get hurt in the box and you have some farm realism. Anyways your videos are great and they make me remember that there are good people at the end of hard days. Keep steady craftin sir😊.

When you started making the chicken walk,and earl grey, it made my day, it was so adorable!

This channel is such a relief from all the constant drama. The way you go about making these light-hearted videos is a blessing.

Oh, snap! That detailing on the suit makes her look like a figure by Playmobil! (Which means she's an action figure by default.) A few other thoughts: 1. That old telephone. Until physical tours of the CrafsShop are available, I would love another video (or twelve -- no pressure 😉) of your collections. They bring back memories of being at my grandparents' house. 2. Would it be possible to purchase a set of goggles? I'd like to do a steampunk Free Range Chicken, and they would be perfect. 3. SPACECLUCKS would make an awesome short (five or so minutes per episode) animated series, voiced by Your Host, the CrafsMan. 😉 4. Merch. Maybe a t-shirt with a design on the front of the CrafsPuppet saying, "Hello," and a small "SteadyCraftin" logo on the back (near the neckline)? Or a design incorporating the phrase, "Oh, SNAP! I'm SteadyCraftin"? There's a website called TeeTurtle that features a lot of cute craft-themed apparel & puns ("I'm Pro-craft-inating") that I'm thinking of as a visual reference. Ok, I've probably got you completely discombogulated by now. Thank you for all your hard work & your commitment to your viewers. Take care & God bless. 💙

Stressful week: politics out of whack, stock market flopping in n out- only good thing lately is your calming, fun video brotha! Keep on creating.

There is few things as soothing as listening to you working. Kind of the modern Bob Ross of sculpting. Always watch your vids while working on my own stuff. Thanks man, and keep it up!

Hey Crafsman!!! My husband, son and myself found your vidyahs about a week ago. We have been watching daily. We enjoy you so much. Keep on craftin. Thank you for the joy you bring!

CRAFSMAN!!!!!!! My son and I need you to make a aweomse turtle figure!!! My son is already excited about taking the Free Ranger as he calls the chicken on our hiking trips. Love you videos love your figures can't wait to see more

The goggles were SUCH a good idea. Great ending, blessings to you and your family as well.

It might be a good idea to make a Free-Range Chicken Chess Set. The pawns could be eggs; the king a cockrel/rooster; the castle could be a hen house etc. :)

here’s my nice quote (tip?) of the day... for any artist out there struggling to find your signature, the thing that sets you apart from the others. don’t stress or worry about it. it will come! it took me 5 years to find mine, and i’m still tinkering with it. so don’t stress too hard, YOU GOT THIS! have a good day, and keep creating art

Thank you for giving us the best of you. The world need this kind'a-thing!

I love your positivity and your humor. You make me feel like I'm not just watching someone on a video, but visiting with an old friend while he crafts. Be blessed. 🙏

You sound like the best person you need to sound like. TheCrafsMan. Nobody better to be than yourself. Keep at it!

GOGGLES!!!!❤️ I didn’t think the Free Range Chicken could get any better, but then came goggles!!😁❤️

All this time I thought my paint was just too thick it was no good. But now thanks to you, I know if it's too thick and goopy, mooshe, goopy, collapee, all I have to do is add some water to it and it's all good. Thanks TheCraftsMan, U ROCK!!

lol "I got the shaky shake " TFF, you should coin it, and put it on a T shirt. Edit , I wish you a lot of luck with the free-range chicken.

You're a good dude, Crafsman. That space chicken looks even cooler than I thought it would be now that you painted it. Keep it going. Thanks for what you do.

My friend, you are the best. My kids love sitting with me and watching every episode.

Me and my friend found your channel yesterday while watching videos on how to print to wood, gotta say your videos are awesome and I love your positive energy! Definitely a Crafsman fan now. Continue to videos please! Oh and steady craftin 🙏🏼

PS Love the telephone - wish they were still like that! Looks very old and interesting.

“Some say the Free Range Chicken isn’t an action figure, but look at this.....” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watched your whole free range chicken series before bed, boy you are relaxing and give me comfort man

Im so happy I found this channel. After a bad week this lit up my heart. Thanks Craftman for being so delightful :)

*Look at Earl Grey back there.*

I think people say you sound like mr Rogers and bob ross because they’re both very wholesome. This is such a wholesome and creative channel.

Mr. CrafsMan, I love you. I'm not big on free-range chickens but I watched it anyways, because it's the CrafsMan!

Just when I think you've made your best video yet, you make a better one!! Love this, and as soon as Beek Anderson shows up on etsy I'll be there to pick one up! Love your work, Love your videos. Stay cool.

Bro! That's a wicked slick yard bird, my friend!

You decently got that bob Ross feel. You don't sound like him person but I'm chilling feeling like I might actually get me some clay. I feel like my uncle is teaching me something. Your awesome bro.

The segment from 1:44 through 2:03 is one of the most sublime moments of comic genius (intentional or not) I can think of in recent memory. It makes me think TheCrafsMan has a background in advertising or comedy writing, and/or video production.

This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours but I already love you

I've never done any sculpting before but, damn, your vids sure is inspiring me to start sculpting my own characters. I love watching these. Kudos! :D

Why has it taken me 2yrs to find this? Your engagement with the viewers is excellent, I picture you as a fantastic grandfather type guy. Good luck to you and your wife with your ventures 🙂

@1:46 - of course it's an action figure. The action takes place in one of the greatest possible locations... one's own imagination!

Glad I had my notifications on for your videos. So I could watch as soon as you upload!

It is just funny how you say Etsy 😂 nice video Mr. Crafsman! I am hoping to make just like your stuffs..

I've been sharing your videos with my work, my friends, my family. Thank you for your time, every opportunity you take to reply to us is appreciated.

That pinstripe on the suit was a nice touch! I'd never seen that technique before. You're too modest CrafsMan...Your painting skills are quite good. Nice job!

Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!!

The free range chickens came out amazing!! You’re amazing, craftsman! Keep doing you!!!

Your Free Range Chickens are the best. They might go nation wide. Love your channel. Thank you

Mr. Craftsman I really do love and appreciate all the effort u and ur wife are putting into into each of these chickens! but could u also sell a couple of plain white ones so I can paint them myself after purchasing? If not it's okay I love the channel and all ur content Also that voice is so soothing c:

Try using water to dilute the paint so when you paint it on the streaks dont show up as much, might take more layers, but the smooth finish is nice! (But the paint strokes dont look that bad from what i can see)

That Chicken is taking "Free Range" to the next level with that Jet Pack

Paint made for miniatures will take your painting to a whole other level! The pigment is made extra small so the paint goes on much more smooth and even :)

I would like to know who the one person was who disliked your video. Because I love all of them

I've been waiting for this.

Love your videos! Nothing you did was wrong! Hard to believe others critique videos, when its not their's. So rude! You rock Crafsman! Having fun matters most and your endless creativity is inspiring!

We love you, too, CrafsMan! Proud to be a supporter (even if it isn’t for much $). I’d love to buy a chicken when they are available to keep me company as I carve. (I’m a wood carver). I really LOVED the goggles. So so cool over those big eyes. Blessings to you and the Mrs.

You sound like Mitch Hedberg.... I need to have you do the voicemail for my shop!

I need NEED A CHICKEN, Craftsman!

I paint with acrylics all the time and I don't believe any form of art has a "right way" keep on steady crafting Crafsman you doing great!

Listening to you talking about how well your wife cooks was one of the best things I've heard today.

I really wish I was as "not" gifted as you are.

"Look at all those chickens"-dead memw *Meme

"I got the little shaky shaky." I love this man.

Honestly crafsman I’m happy you’re married someone as seemingly wholesome and genuine as you doesn’t deserve to be lonely

You don’t sound like nobody but the Crafsman. My man paintin on the resin figures!

15:20 crafman so polite he apologize to a old brush :D

Craftsman you are awesome, the wife and I love watching you ....and I agree the free range chicken is an action figure "look at this." You have put a smile on our faces and we just wanna say thank you.

Any day with a Crafsman video is a blessed day.
