*I just discovered this channel today and I subscribed instantly cuz of that smooth Louisiana Bob Ross voice*

I discovered your channel several days ago and INSTANTLY subscribed 😊

Sometimes you are the only person that I heard the words "I love you" from and I bet I'm not the only one and I am glad you are here, CrafsMan. We love you too.

Crafsman, you brought it up. Now we MUST know why you don’t know a microwave. Hugs to you and Crasmama from Rosie of Dallas.

My father and grandfather both chewed Red man tobacco. I do not but thank you for that memory of them. I had not thought about it in a while. They were good men

I'm new to you, Crafsman, but I will never leave. I really like learning crafts and your style is so groovy.

"it says to melt in a microwave.... Uh, craftman don't own a microwave but thas a long story."

I just want to say thank you for going to all this effort. You are a very selfless person and youve spread so much happiness.. i work with kids in school crafting and we watch your videos all the time.. God's blessings from England brother.

Craftsman, I’ve been steady enjoying your smooth talking crafting videos over the past 2-3 years and I just realized you’re the “Bob Ross” of crafting! I absolutely love your sense of humor and calming voice. Thank you for all the steady entertainment my man!

Few weeks weeks ago a group of friends took our friend Jacque to the woods and lake to fish. She is undergoing chemotherapy treatments and she loves fishing. She was in pain a could not sleep at night. I put your nut jewelry and honey videos, she relaxed and got hooked immediately!! Her surgery (double mastectomy ) was last week. She called me and told me that during her staying in the hospital, she not only saw most of your videos, and subscribed, but also she recommended you to her oncologist and nurses to watch and subscribe to your channel, and they did!! You have more fans in Texas!! Rosie from Dallas , ,

You resonate with me, Crafsman 💙. Also: TELL US ABOUT THE MICROWAVE

This channel is pure genius. Nice work!

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to stumble across this channel you've made, CrafsMan.

Crafsman on Monday morning to put a smile on your face.

Your voice is so relaxing and I learn things I would never be interested in because of its appeal. Great job Crafsman. 👍

"Get creative. Get Crazy. But stay within the limits of the law"...LOVE IT! And that voice.... :-) Thank you, CrafsMan!

A tip for making an even better petroleum jelly mold release is to dissolve a scoop into a bit of naphtha so that it’s nice and running and paint that on with a chip brush and dab access off. I use that for hand molds where spray mold release doesn’t get all the way down. It’s the best and cheapest silicone mold release.

I run a figure manufacturing company for last 8 years, successful and I pride myself in moulding and casting. You are A GENT, and very very professional and helpful. Shows with your videos we can all learn and you follow things that I would do mostly, the sizing one in particular was a complete lesson to me, thank you. Subscribed

Thank you CrafsMan, you just made my day a little bit better.

Found the DIY videos, stayed for that smooth relaxed voice. You're just doing your own thing and filming it, makes it so much better. Thanks for making so many people's days greater Crafsman

We need that microwave story dubbed over a movie the crafsman.

I’m so glad to finally find a RU-vid channel with a comment section as kindhearted as the man running it I haven’t seen a single bad comment and I truly hope you’re doing well crafsman

Crafsman you are a beautiful soul, thank you for all you do

Thank you Crafsman for all the work you do and sharing your talents with us. It's very much appreciated!

I'm so happy I found this channel. Out of all the DIY prop-making channels, you're by far my new favorite.

Im going through depression because of some ridiculous amount of problems, then I watch a Crafsman Video and I feel... Aaaaaaw right! God bless you man.

I just found this channel and I'm wondering why it's not blown up all over the world

someone thinks that this is one of the best unintentional asmr?

Hello Crafsman. Thank you for the video and the update on the button in the last video. I read the comments and can assure you that your video uploads cause happy celebrations that go all across the world. Speaking of across the world, I know of a reusable mold putty called Oyamaru that you can get at a dollar (100 yen) store in Japan. You boil it in water to soften it, make a mold, and then boil it again to reuse it. Here’s hoping your putty is just as impressive and you can just boil it too.

This man is a national treasure, and must be protected at ALL costs.

So I just discovered your Channel. I am absolutely blown away. You are the Black Bob Ross of arts n crafts. I so dig it. Tip of the hat to you good sir. Have a great day, great health and best of wishes.

I hadn't thought of Redman in years. Chewed a lot of that playing ball in the 70s. Some later, but not much. Turns out one didn't need to smoke tobacco to get cancer. It always looked best on the sides of old barns and sheds. Oh, great vid Crafsman!

Okay, now I just gotta know the Crafsman microwave story. Love the channel.

the world needs more people (puppets) like you. Thanks craftsman!

Thanks a million CraftsMan I have learned a lot about how to make molds since Ifound your channel. You break every thing down to the least common denominator where it can be understood. Ive seen alot of how to videos but you are one of the best. And you keep it humorous and entertaining and simple.

Monday morning, and Physical Therapy for my shattered and screwed-back-together foot, but, hey!! Here's my friend, The Crafsman, gonna make it all better with a new video. Thank you for shining your light into my day and making me smile. XOXO

I love these videos.. And what makes it a thousand times better is your voice... I can watch for hours👍👍👍👍

Glad to see a crafsman video this fine Monday morning! I was wonderin' if it was gon be a good day today, but I already got my answer! Keep steady crafting brudda! You've got a subscriber outta me

Dragonriders of the Styx are my favorite plastic minis, and the Lava Monster is the only one I don’t have. This is the last toy I’d have predicted you would use. So cool!

I spent all day trying to figure out how to make a two part mold. I was close in my idea but they aren’t great. I will remake them using your technique. Thanks for showing this to us.

I extrapolated them things I liked that I learned. And went ahead and did the thing. And I want to thank you Craftsman. I love you, and all you do and I haven't even met you. I just wanna say... Keep steady craftin, and for us that is tryin the thing, it sure do help seeing you do the thing first, for when I do the thing next. Thank You,

Yo, Crafsman. You are by far the best youtuber. Youre a national treasure bro.

CrafsMan, you resonate. I lose sleep at night watching you craf, man.

CrafsMan! I hope you are doing good today. Another great video, thank you. Have you ever done faux marble resin casting using marble dust? If so, could you please teach us? Thank you for all of the videos you make! And keep Steady Craftin!

Your videos are great, Crafsman! Instead of scouring the interweb for all the various casting knowledge I need, your videos put it all in one place! I have been able to create my own custom little figures from these tutorials!

love ya Crafsman. Your talks resonate with me.

Craftsman, your diy mold putty video helped me a lot! Managed to copy one of my monsterclay figures!

Hope you're having a good week, crafsman! Thank you!

I just discovered this channel tonight, but I instantly subbed.

Funny how at 7:25 you see that the Polyplastics stuff inflates a bit. Makes for a more precise mold that's cool.

So cool! We love you back, Crafsman!!

I love your voice 😍, I grew up in the south and your voice is so nostalgic.

You never cease to surprise me with new and different ways of making molds and castings, CrafsMan. I hope it inspires people and makes them realize, they CAN do it even if they don't do so well at one method, because there are others to try :)

Thank you for this. I get all my clay tips from your videos.

i found your channel a few hours ago instantly hooked first of all i love your voice at the time i'm writing this is almost midnight and its honestly hard to stay away second of all i just love all of the kool crafts on ur channel

You seem like a chill dude, I found your channel yesterday and my little sisters really liked the last video you made!

Easily my favorite craft channel, stumbled across you a couple days ago and I have been sharing your videos to all my friends.

When you have a bad day, the CrafsMan will cheer you up.

Dear Crafsman. I am new to your channel but after only one video, i was hooked. I love everything about you, and your crafs are inspiring and amazing. I will use what you taught me to attempt my own. Much love for you, Crafsman!

I simply love listening to your voice....the accent is great!

Great video. I have to cast a few pieces and I've done molding and casting. This looks to be the quickest and easiest way to do what I need to do.

I like this guy's voice ... His voice very soothing .... 🙂 reminds me of bob Ross ... Happy trees happy mold casting

I just found your videos last night, and I absolutely love them! I was binge watching them, fell asleep and woke up to my last watched video in my face. Good job Crafsman, stay steady craftin'!!

We love you too, Crafsman!

Hey CrafsMan - you inspired me to make some crafs. I decided on a two-part silicone mold necklace pendant I designed on the 3D Printer. I am excited to get this started, and I owe it all do your videos. Thanks Crafsman. Keep up the great videos.

Crafsman, I have watched and listen to all of your videos, including a couple that people has done about you. I also had noticed that you like animals. I’ve seen your cats eating, bees, free range chickens, 🐔tons of birds, squirrels and even heard your dog in the background. Can you make another video about “the things that craftsman likes” but instead of things , maybe animals? I think most of us will enjoy. You are truly a “Renaissance crafsmanl”.

Crafsman, i've only been watching for a few days but I can say you make amazing videos. Stay steady craftin

Dude thanks so much for your easy simple yet very helpful examples on these things I’m a bit of an idiot when it comes to evenly mixing / measuring things and the last time I mixed resin it never fully cured for some reason and you became a big help over my years of me messing up 🤘🤘

Oh Nelly!! was just thinking I sure do miss me some Crafsman right about now!! Wallop!

Thank you for these videos. I have begun making things recently and a kind voice is the best teacher.

Love you too Craftsman!

Thanks to RU-vids algorithm I discovered you and I am happy I have because I love watching your videos and relaxing. Keep up the amazing work Crafsman. Steady Craftin

Crasman you give me joy everyday and im thankful of the fact you put effort into making us smile and entertaining us all

I've recently discovered your channel, but I've since taken the time to watch everyone of your videos. You're the greatest thing to happen to this platform! I'm now a loyal subscriber

Crafsman, your videos put me to sleep when nothing else will

My little brother and I always used to call him the red man. He was the red man and I was the blue man... He died tragically just a couple of months ago.. Somehow you randomly bringing up the red man made me feel like he was ok 😊. So it did resonate with somebody 😊.

Started watching the chanel for the interest in crafting, and this chanel has something else with this super calming and kinda funny voice-over, personally, I really like it. Really nice work you got going here Mr. CrafsMan, keep it going!

Well! Not only crafty but smart too! I do not own a microwave either. I did once, but got rid of it and learned there is life after Micro! Great to hear!

I thought I was the only one who didn't have microwave these days. Thanks for another great video, Crafsman! I've already started making some things using what I've learned from you.

Man this really helped me out. I'm starting to get into making tribal jewelry (plugs, septum spikes..ect) and came across this video. It definitely helped out and cleared up some things. So thank you

Just found your channel and I don't even make stuff I just love your voice and the way you know how to make all this stuff is really entertaining keep up the sick vids

Don’t see how anyone would give thumbs down 👎 to Crafsman! Going to try this with my grandkids!!

Oh, this is a MUCH easier way than what I was seeing when I was watching a buncha taxidermist vids to figure out how to cast a copy of some antlers I had. Thanks!

You are the best channel on RU-vid, hands-down. Well done, Crafsman.

Crafsman, I also do not own a microwave. Thank you for this video. After watching a previous video of yours with the Polly Plastics Mold Putty, I got me some, and have a couple projects in mind for it. Thanks for this idea, too.

Another great video Crafsman! As a diy enthusiast, your tips are like secrets of shaolin to me- lol. Thank you for your always positive and fun vibe!

Found your channel last night and subbed. Then I get a new video today, wow! Your mannerisms and voice projection are really cool. A very informative and enjoyable channel. Thank you!

I came across your youtube channel in my list of recommended videos today, and I have been watching your videos all day. Great youtube channel, your videos are awesome!

Love your video Craftsman! The toy related ones are always the neatest, as I used to dabble with sculpey!😀

Everything Crafsman says resonates with me awww snap

Thanks for the Redman reference, reminded me of my old Sweet Daddy (great grandpa). He would sit in his chair rockin, and spittin into an old white bucket. I found it very fascinating as a child. 😂

I always get excited when you make a new video. Always informative. Always entertaining

You make so many unique and wonderful things don’t you ever run out of ideas?

another sweet video--no microwave...interesting..I kinda don't like using ours....curious why you choose to not have one . I love watching these videos, so cool! Keep steady craftin CrafsMan!

RU-vid recommended me your rubber metal video. Subbed and already loving this channel

Can’t get enough of your toy vids!

If you're not too concerned with keeping the original mould lines (or as close to them as possible), something that I learned a long time ago from working with miniatures is that you can take them off quickly and with a smooth finish by using the back edge (the one that was never sharp) of a hobby knife, like an x-acto, and scraping the lines off. A little difficult to illustrate with text, but when you're doing it the motions make it look like you're skinning a very tiny potato. The finish is smooth, as I said, and needs no sanding, although there can be a little bit of plastic residue, particularly at angles. If you encounter that, you can either use the sharp side of the blade to clear it off, or a little bit of acetone on a q-tip to rub it off.

These videos are so satisfying to watch! They make me want to do the stuff, but I have ZERO skill for it! Any DIY Clay ideas?
