Melting pill bottles into robots. (The Plastic Recycling Episode) 

Steady Craftin videos are made with the help of DIRECT SUPPORT: www.patreon.com/steadycraftin (You'll also get access to the printable 3D scans of my original sculpted figures, MP3s, exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, shop discounts, and more.) My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.

Puppet Crafsman shrugging so cleanly is everything I need in the world

Seeing those pill bottles turn into delicious looking robots was incredibly satisfying. I might need to... Get one of these injection molding machines... 🤔

There might be channels with higher budgets, but this is the highest *quality* content on RU-vid.

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 👏

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.

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.

“My wife told me not to do that joke” hahahaha Ain’t nothin wrong with a little pp joke.

"(Mumbling) My wife told me not to use that joke" had me laughing out loud!

"My wife told me not to do that joke." I'm glad you didn't listen!

I have no idea what I just watched but RU-vid brought me here and I’m just blown away

Crafsman giving out all these wisdoms for free. What a nice person.

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.

Crafsman shrugging his shoulders got me. Love the subtle things like that.

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.

“My wife told me not to do that joke” LOL 😂

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!

Really love the background music track on this one, Crafsman.

I like the music. This goes perfectly with your personality: "mellow with just a whisper of space robots"!

Baby, you do you. I have no interest in injection molding, but I just love watching your passion. You got what I need.

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 like injection mold videos because you seem to enjoy doing them. I'm commenting this before watching, but I'm excited to see it!

The Craftsman makes me smile.

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.

the amount of charm and effort that just OOZES from this channel is palpable. i love it so much 🥺

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!

I laughed at the PP joke, but then I died laughing at his confession. 😂🤣🤣🤣💀

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.

I purchased the parts to build 2 of the injection molding machines from the link in the description. Buster beagle is great channel and I had a wonderful experience buying from him. Straight shooter. Enjoy

Clicked within 1 minute. Perfect timing as always The Crafsman

I can't stop watching because of your hypnotic voice.

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! 👍👊

I appreciate how you go through proper safety.

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’m craftin right now just because of you Crafsman May the Crafs be with us all.

Really really need TheCrafsMan to record a bed time story. I can't get enough of his calming voice.

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 may not be able to watch every single video sometimes. But I always enjoy the ones I do see, much love Crafsman

If you have #6 plastic that's flat, you can use them like shrinkie dinks! Lightly sand them and draw with pencils, cut out your design and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes on 150°C/300°F! It's a fun activity with kids and youcan make lots of things with it!

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.

Awesome! As a pretty much bedridden, sick person who has a lot (way too many) of those pill bottles, and also happens to be an artist who despite my illness, still has the unstoppable need to create stuff! Videos like these are great for inspiring ways to save money on art supplies AND to be able to reuse and keep this stuff out of the landfill . I can't afford or have room for the fancy tools at my bedside, but I do have a heat gun! I always keep the lids, pull the soft plastic liners out of them and use both parts for things like little paint pallets/water or paint thinner cups, or small drip trays for under small plant starter seedling pots, or other things like putting different color beads into for bead weaving, or mixing epoxy resin in, etc, etc. The uses for those lids and inserts are endless. (And they come in a few sizes) But I dont have the room to keep all of the bottles. But your video has inspired a few ideas. I bet I could melt and make some cool beads or pendants with the bottles... maybe use some old dvds/cds, holographic films melted, or glued in, too! Thanks for the video!

A joke for you Crafsman: Why does 4 never talk to 3 or 5? Because 4 is two squared.

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 ❤

Loved the shrug and the interpersonal advice 😉😊🧡🤟🏼

Hunker down and stay safe. Hope the wild weather side-steps your little shed of wonders.

Injectors are SO EXPENSIVE! If I were a single man and didn't like my long range hunting rifles, I'd totally get into this.

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.

Crafsman, thank you for being so friendly and mello. You made my heart smile just listening. Much love my dude.

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!

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

Plastic recycling and injection molding is how we do Crafsman! Saving the world one little robot at a time.

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)

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! ❤️

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. 😁

I love your videos I listen and watch when I'm stressed or can't sleep and it calms me xxx

I'm not sure what's better your model making talent or your video making talent....awesome!!!

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

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

Crafsman shouting out Precious Plastics! Yes!

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.

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..."

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!

CrafsMan is a modern day Bob Ross. Bringing the joy of craftin' everyone.

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.

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 just stumbled on this channel, and I had no idea how much I needed this in my life.

The production value is getting better every video

I am *never* disappointed when I watch your videos!

I love precious plastics, and to see the reference here makes me happy

I love your puppet! He's so wonky and sweet! It feels like he gives permission for me to be wonky and sweet too.

So true! If someone tells you can't do something; just ignore them and go on doing it :) Great video!

It's not every day that the recommended video RNG is this kind. This video was so endearing it hurts.

The algorithm brought me here. Glad it did. Bout to be part of this Crafnation.

there can never be ENOUGH injection mold videos, mr crafsman, never

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!

Interesting! I like the orange for sure!

Building an army of cute robots. Looks like fun.

Your robots are shaped like friends, I love them

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

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

The craft puppet Bob Ross with a southern accent. Glorious!

Whats fascinating is that I start the video struggling to understand what he is saying … but by he end of the video understand him perfectly.

"4, 5, 1 and 2, all the rest are bad for you!" is what I was taught in environmental science class

The Crafsman is an international treasure!

This is the best suggested by youtube I have ever received. Thank you CrafsMan for this entertaining and informative video!

I don't have an injection molder and I have no intention to ever get one, but I'm still really interested in these videos. No need to hold back.

I love you Craftman, you dont know how much i appreciate your work!

Now this was dope!! But so does everything Craftsman does. Craftsman you’re a beautiful creature !!

I love puppet crafsman so much. I just want to hug him.

I'll never do anything with injection molding. I still watch every one. They're FASCINATING. Do not be discouraged.

It makes me happy to hear someone else call those plastic beads "perler" beads. That's what I've always called them since I was a kid but no one else seems to use that name!

How handy! And you have such a relaxing voice.

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

Crafsman!!!! Thank you for doing your work! You light up my life, my friend~

i love this man's energy so much wth

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!

Maan this episode hit different! I'm into it 🎵

Thanks for your videos Craftsman! They bring me so much joy

that Polypropylene joke was unexpected but appreciated by all.
