That was great man!
Well hot diggity dang darns. Thank you Mr. Duke.
I loved every second of it. The way you made the master is brilliant and the casting was great!! Not to mention the animation. Another great one Captain ❤🖤
Thank you, Thank you Red. Much love.
Every bit of this video makes me grin. 13 year old me likes this as much as 39 year old me.
A vinyl cutter is my only cnc and I thought this etching application might work. So it does. Thx Cap.
Well good. Mission accomplished.
The intro animation, with its music and sound effects, gives me a happy fuzzy feeling every time. Especially the sound of the ship. Nothing short of amazing!
These are some fabulous coins you've got there. The etching came out sooo good!
Thank you sir! See you soon!
Very nice! My daughter watches your videos with me and we’re both big fans!
Well that's awesome. This channel is for all the peoples.
Well that's a piece of shiny perfection right there! I already had all those things on the makery bucket list but now I want to do all of them right now! Beautiful edit, spot-on music, animation nailed, artistry through the roof plus Jess and Gary? Oh, and you made your own absolutely fabulously gorgeous shiny currency. Literally awesome, Cap'n.
Literally, thank you.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE
you have outdone yourself sir. Holy cow!
Awwwwshucks. Thank you Karo!
Really great stuff, Cap.♠️
My pops left me two pieces of eight when he passed. He was no pirate like you, but he was a sailor. They're my favorite memento of him.
That, Jesse, is awesome. Keep them safe, and thank you for the kind words.
Great video Brett!! Editing spot on as per usual and this was really interesting to watch how you took the design from computer all the way through to a smashing piece of treasure. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you so much!
Awesome. Brilliant. Out of this world atmosphere and editing. Thank you.
Thank you as always Remy!
Huzzah! Cap’n you’ve done it again!! Jess and even a Gary!!! How perfect!?!!!!
Thank you Ned!
You want to captain my ship? I don't think I closed my mouth the whole time I watched this video - from the animation to start, the mastering, post-mastering, electro-etching, casting and of course the finished, salt-water eaten cast version, like Emeralda dollars found in the shipwreck of my vision, the Emeralda. Thank you!
Hooray! Thanks bill!
So. Much. Awesome.
Your skills continue to amaze, how perfect is that animation! 🐿️
Oh shucks....thank you Soph.
Absolutely beautiful, I love the small imperfections in the casted coin. It makes it look like it was part of hidden treasure long lost at sea. Well done.
I 100% agree. Which was unplanned, but a happy accident
So much awesomeness packed into 10 minutes. Loved it all! Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU seth!
This was wonderful. I wasn't really looking to get into this type of handcraft. However, it surely gave me some ideas for another type of work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for making it fun. Much success!
Thank you Michelle!
Beautiful coin. Love the old video game theme, reminds me of a misspent youth.
Mission accomplished then
Very cool cap'n. Great process in making that and very enjoyable to watch 👌
Thank you as always Alan!
As always, great work! Very interesting technique demonstrated, would like to see this again....
I definitely have some more ideas for etching as well as casting
That was fascinating to watch! And I loved the animation. Fantastic video as always.
Thank you Naturemaiden!
I came to learn something, but I was shockingly entertained. Well done sir!
Woot
Wow! This is a truly double bang project. I have never tried either of those processes, but now I feel the need! Thanks!
Go forth and give it a shot! Thank you as always sir.
Amazing work Captain! Would love to have one of those, your videos continue to amaze!
Thank you!!!
they came out awesome, i love all the little defects in the coin when it was caste. it made it look legit..
agreed.
@@Jesse__H Agreed
I really enjoy the look as well. Like they've been rolling around the seas for years.
Great casting video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you James!
Once again, what an amazing job... The quality never gets low! I can't even imagine how time consuming is to create the animation. Thank you Captain! 😎
Thank you Florian!!!
Awesome! Love that the Milk Run is now a character too.
It had to show up eventually.
Those are coins that would make Two-Face jealous.
Harvey's got nothin on Gary.
Always making me smile when you make a video 😁
Not only did you capture Jess' expressions perfectly but the coins are fantastic!
I'm pretty sure I know what else they can be used for too... 😊
Can you make about a hundred before May? 😉
Hahahah! If only i could get the 100 knocked out before then, lol
Hey Brett, Danimal here. Just want you to know YOURE THE MAN. And I'm jealous you get to hang out with Jimmy all the time. I'm going to school to be a machinist but I've always been a maker. I just want you to know that out of all the making videos I make my girlfriend watch, she REALLY enjoys yours. Keep up the awesome work man.
Well that's awesome. Cheers to you and the gf. Thanks for the kind words.
“You gotta have money to make money”. So true!! Well done sir🔥🔥💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Indeed party wolf. indeed.
Happy Easter my friend!
Digging these videos. I realize how clueless I am on the entire process!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Christy! Will do!
Always look forward to your videos Brett! Incredible work yet again!
Thank you Austin!
Incredible project Captain. My hat is off to you.
Thank you sir!
Awesome job man! Quick and dirty! Love it!!! 😉👍
Awyeeeahhh
Holy cow they're awesome.
Thank you Jamie!!!
I don't know...Milk Run didn't look right. ;-P Jessie and Gary were spot on. The coin came out great defects and all, it adds to the character.
It's all up to interpretation ; ) Thank you sir
I agree, the subtle defects look amazing, like the coin had been used than sat in a buried chest until someone dug it up.
I don’t remember the last time I:
1- enjoyed a vid so much
2- watched ALL the way to the end of a video.
Outstanding! Inspiring! I’m building a foundry this summer. This
Will def be added onto the “things to make with the things” list!
Well thank you! Go forth and make!
Yet again will done sir! You seem to really enjoy working with metal. Hope you had a great weekend.
Indeed I do! Thank you rich.
Well done! Those came out great!
Thank you sir!
Holy hell. That's so amazing it shouldn't even be possible.
Awwwwwcomon. See you soon ms kaylee ; )
@@skullandspade 3 sleeps!!
There needs to be a “LOVE THIS AWESOME VIDEO!!!” Button to push!! Love your creativity and your awesome, incredible (and all other adjectives and adverbs) videos and executions!! One of the top channels on TH-cam for sure! Just keep em comin!!
Will do. Finally back at it after a long and arduous month ; )
great build i love the look of the currency. the casting looks a lot like the roman coins i ve seen in museums. your cannel keeps getting better and better. love the latin on the coin "make your life" those are words to live by.
Yessir. Thank you as always
Just thinking about this... You create a video, where there are so many elements, layers, and offerings like a chef creating a meal. That was like a gourmet buffet, with all the good stuff. Gary running his side hustle was the cherry on top! 👍👏🏼👏🏼
Well thank you. I hope you enjoyed the feast ; )
Well done Brett I enjoy the whole video and I even like the animation of Jess and her Gary nicely done brother 🤜🏽
Thank you Glenn. Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the video Brett. Nice work. I take it was made at the DiResta shop. Love to watch Jessie even in an animation. I am a bit late to the party, saw you at MC2019 and found you on Laura's TH-cam 10 makers.Now a subscriber. Keep up the interesting and very entertaining work. Arrr!
I have a space in Jimmys shop, and yeah, Jess is pretty great... in all forms
Awesome job Brett. Keep them coming
Thank you Logan!
Amazing! Did not know you could do that with a vinyl cutter. Now I want one even more!
Relatively cheap as "equipment" goes. Lots of uses.
We don't need no Department of Treasury anymore! Great work Bett
HAHAH! Thank you sir!
This was so good! I thought you were going to stop at the master. Cool to see you cast another one as well. I'm so curious how you make those awesome animations as well. Well done sir!
Can’t stop won’t stop. Thank you Michael
"Make Your Life" indeed!
Yours are some of the BEST videos Brett.
Master of content ! (and money making)
Cheers Eric. Thank you very much.
You deserve million subscribers.
Well thank you
Wow. There's so much to admire in this video - the 8bit animation of iJessup, the creation of the coin, the filming, the teaching etc. No doubt you have a tonne of hours invested in this video. Worth all the Gil in the universe! Thanks for pushing the limits! Cheers! : )
Thank you for always stopping in to watch!
Amazing makery Brett, and I love how the narrative keeps expanding. Great to be a part of this crew
The adventure is ever growing
Oh yeah Brett!! Great stuff! I don't know if you remember, but I asked you about making coins some time ago, I liked the way you went on making them, I though about something completely different, like CNCing or just simply pressing with a punch, but you took a very creative way to on it, love it! Keep it up brother!
I do remember! I don't know how to use the cnc or 3d printer in the shop, but we all know how stickers work.
Absolutely brilliant video I love the etching idea never realised you could get such a strong deep etch. I think animated Jess and Gary are amazing.
Well thank you Peter. We're all here learnin!
Captain my Captain. You are k i l l i n g it ! Looking forward to seeing you at our 1-year anniversary. 😊
W00h00! Looking forward to it!
That came out awesome! I definitely have to try that etching technique at some point
Do it Monster Man!!!
Beautiful. I love how crisp the brass etching came out on the master. I foresee that casting some brass is definitely in my future.
Go forth and make!
Excellent entertainment! Keep-up the good work!
Thank ye
The "I don't know what you mean" animation made me smile; I only recently watched the video on Jessie's channel where she explained she can seem a bit abrupt sometimes and I can totally relate to that. Your animation of her just shows that crew stick together, keeping a sense of humour and accepting one another for who you are ^-^
The coins you made are absolutely beautiful, I love how you showed two different methods for making them as well.
Awesome as always Cap'n McAfee! I hope you enjoy that well earned rest =D
Well good. Mission accomplished then. Still waiting for the REST to kick in ' )
Brett McAfee
Hey Cap'n, I wasn't sure where to post this so figured I'd just put it here.
It was really good to meet you on Saturday, thank you so much for talking to me, for being so lovely and for the cool gifts! I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you much on Sunday, you always looked so busy I didn't want to bother you, but I hope the coffee helped you feel better =) (I have no idea how you and the rest of the makers kept going all day, I was pooped within the hour...Jess especially had me in awe of her energy!)
Anyhoo, what I didn't get to say was that these past few years have been pretty rough, but discovering your channel last year has really helped me. There have been days on end where I've struggled to get up out of bed, but then you've uploaded a video and that has motivated me to face the day. It might sound a bit odd, but the way you clearly enjoy what you do and the amount of hard work, passion and care/detail you put into each video, from the story to the editing to the project itself...Your videos motivate me to try my best, not worry as much when things go wrong and see mistakes as a learning experience, to keep trying to get better, to try new things...
You've helped to inspire me to keep going when I've been so close to giving up. I even found the confidence to come to Birmingham alone and because of that I got to try my hand at blacksmithing! I had such a good experience, trying new things and finding new hobbies to pursue, as well as meeting a lot of really lovely people. I know I'm super awkward and a clumsy communicator, but everyone was so nice!
Sorry for the long ramble, I wish I'd got to tell you in person properly but it was so busy! I just wanted to let you know how incredibly grateful I am to you for sharing your work with us, and that I hope everything just keeps getting better for you in future =)
Oh, and the 'smiths knife you made over at the forge was really cool, it was awesome to see you in action! You guys were very entertaining and informative =D
I hope you enjoy your travels and have a safe voyage home Cap'n McAfee =)
Very nice coins captain and as always great editing!
Thank you Jon!
What's not to like! Great work. Great video. Great animation. Love it.
Thank you Andy!!!
What an imagination and skills, wow just great. Keep on creating brett 👌👍
Thank you Marie!
That is so cool and inspiring! Well done Brett ;)
Thank you as always Sylvie!!!
Those are awesome, Cap
Verry cool. Great projects well done
Thank you Martin!
Fantastic video and the coins are great, enjoy the rest Cap'n you've earned it.
Thank you Graham!
*DING*
You have Levelled up!
You have gained XP in Alchemy
W000000t
Great job Brett! You make it look too easy!
What a nice compliment!
Inspiration for a brass project recently presented to me. thanks for the tip Capt.
You're quite welcome.
Really nice, cap'n! I now have a new project for to do for my minions!
Yusssss
Wow, that was an incredible video! I am simply stunned...Keep it up!
Well thank you!
I’m just going to say it again: this is amazeballs!
Well darn, thank you sir
Another fantastic video Brett. The etched original looked good but the cast ones looked ace. 👍🏻
Thank you! I definitely like the cast one for the texture.
Great storytelling and video. Including the milkrun :-)
Thank you sir!
Brilliant masking technique! Lover the video games
Hope you enjoyed!
Love the animated intros!!
Thank you Gene!
Very well done!
Thank you sir!
When you're so much of a pirate you forge your own coins 🤣 Great video Brett. I was just thinking the other day that I haven't done any etching in ages. I always struggle with the resist mask, as I dont have a vinyl cutter.
Check your libraries and maker spaces locally. You'll find a laser guaranteed
@@mikedrop4421 Well said.
Electrical tape and a lot of patience will get something done ; )
I've had some success using such a method- I bought one of those cheap dye cutters scrapbookers use (the ones that are basically a set of rollers with two plastic plates). I've found if I take a piece of thin sheet aluminium and stick some strips of electrical tape to it, then with the right set of shims I can run it through the cutter and it will cut me out a stencil of electrical tape. I find it distorts very easily when I peel it off though, and obviously I'm limited as to what dyes I can get. I've recently bought some rub down letter transfers for my bookbinding, I'm curious to see how they work as etching resists.
Skulls, craftsmanship & creative video...SUSCRIBED!
Woohoo! Welcome to the weird
This is so fucking awesome Brett! You’re so talented. Loved the video!
Thank you so much Rachel!
Really nice to see you work :D i have a payer for ya captain, what is the 2 paper you are using? The sticking clear One and the Black blueish One.. where can i find thay
Excellent bit of coinage there Mr Captain Sir! I'll bet removing the vinyl around the detailed lettering was quite a challenge! All turned out great, anywho :)
It's just a lot of patience and dexterity. Cheers MAtt.
Amazing as always Brett!
Thank you Adam!
Awesome man this was like a two for one build video!
Thank you Dan!
Awesomeness from start to finish, what program do you use for the animations?
Adobe illustrator and After Effects
You are one of my favorite channels and amazing work as always! Apologies if I missed it but what voltage did you use for the etching?
Thank you so much Steven! The battery charger runs at 3 amps, not sure with the voltage was : /
Hey mate at 6:49 what did you apply at the tip of the stick to extract the mold? cheers
Melted the end of a hot glue glue stick.
Brilliant coin smithing, Cap'in! ;)
Aye
I hope there are people running to their maker spaces right now to try their hand at some coin making..... Wish we had one around here. But any how, great job Mr. M
I love the ideas of everyone making coins.
Holy crap Brett... too much awesome in one video!
Hah, thank you Charlie!
Dude! Spectacular work! I have been wanting to etch some challenge coins and this was a great inspiration. I recently did some brass etching and finally switched from electro etching to ferric chloride because all the trickle chargers I found had “smart” modes where they wouldn’t charge without any present voltage. How did you get around this? Just an old or cheap enough charger?
Great work again 💪🏼
The new ones do have that safety measure. Better to use an AC/DC power supply in the future. Like the ones used by tattoo artists for their machines.
Oh Gaeries! They are the masters. I loved this video.
Indeed they are.
I love what you put out here
Well thank you
Currency is important, a great video Brett (Tim Cunningham)
Thank you sir. Great seeing you last night.
Awesome video my friend! I highly enjoyed it.
Thank you sir!
That was cool. Inspiring even. 👍🏻
Mission accomplished then
I'm definitely going to have to try this with my D&D campaign
DO IT!
-Shia Lebouf
Great video, would love to give this a go 👍🏻
Go forth and make!
