- This is how I made my own action figure, without being a real sculptor, and without having to cut up other figures for parts. I hope it inspires you to try making your own figures!

Oh, he is still alive, I am glad
Yes, 100%! For now. :D
Sorry for the delays (and any concern) - I had to switch to an entirely new NLE (editing software) after a decade of being used to my old one. At the same time, I decided to make the switch over to 4K and capture hardware, and that came with way more hassle than I anticipated. :)
@@TheCrafsMan I love your videos, no matter when they are uploaded, have a great day.
@@TheCrafsMan What did you switch to, Mr Man?
We're did you get the wire armature again and you know when it will be released to the public
Crafsman is the Bob Ross of toy making. I love this stuff
Every single time you show something made by Crafson I'm absolutely blown away by the skill, talent, style and character on display.
Thank you so much for this. (I took a screenshot for him as well!)
I feel the same.
Ah, the new music, better quality and the delay since the last episode - this feels just like a new season of a tv show came after a break ✨
Thank you so much for the warm words!
That spider trick is what we use on surveys! To see how many spiders are actively hunting in what weather :D that little jumping spider was lifting her legs to show how big she was, saying 'dont eat me im too big and scary!!' Too cute ^^
That's an absolute ton of work to make this. But it looked like so much fun. Keep on craftin Crafsman!
I really felt it in my soul when the Speak & Spell said "Treasure every extra egg".
Also man, this is a fascinating video - seeing the figure come to life is amazing!
Count me as one vote for doing whatever you like with your figures, sir. You paid for them! Crafson's creative skills are growing every time you show us something. Also, love the sound track for this episode.
I second that
That tip about spiders was life-changing! Thank you, Crafsman, for all that you do!
CrafsMan, you are such an inspiration! You are the middle of the Venn diagram between creativity and ingenuity :)
Wow. What an incredibly generous (and encouraging!) comment! Thank you.
And kindness, don't leave out that circle!
The whole crafsfamily is so lucky to have each other! They seem like such good peoples!
This is a brilliant concept Crafsman.
BTW, I am a BIG fan of potentially unnecessary control panels. BIG FAN.
"Piece of the resistance." : )
The final Bash Bot came out great. Kudos to Crafson on his action figure. It's so COOL!
I love this episode, man.
Thank you so much, buddy! And you don't know how bad I'm kicking myself for "Bash Bot" not being in the name candidates. Ugh! LOL!
"Piece of the resistance," indeed. Sometimes, you hear something so funny, you're mad at yourself for not having come up with it yourself. Ya'll have a great week.
Make one same way
Just wanna say thank you, Crafsman! This month last year I found you and was inspired to make a handmade gift for my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day. I’ve never made anything before that. I fell in love with it and still craft to this day
If there is such a thing as "Visual ASMR" this video right here is a FINE example of such. Great music and "top notch" audio as always - 🤖♥
why virtual ? do you even know the meaning of that word ?
@@curtisnewton895 where did they say virtual?
@@gemillustrates1515 I think they misread "visual"... when I read their reply in my head, I heard it as Iñigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin)
So right! There is, aka “a sight for sore eyes”, a cleansing balm of soothing beauty. Feasting my tired retinas on all this creative loveliness.
ASMR usually involves visuals lol
This channel is one of those you get really excited when anything comes out!!!
This video is so incredibly high quality at every turn- it's like you consistently double down on what makes Crafsman great, each and every time. Although this might have tempted me to take up on an extra side project 👀
In the wise words of the great lyricist: Believe. Achieve. Courage. That is right. Almost. Almost. Almost. Treasure. Every. Extra. Egg.
Brookes, thank you so much.
And thank you for reminding me: I FORGOT TO PUBLISH THE SUBTITLES WITH THIS ONE. LOL!
✓ Subtitles
Music source?
@@richcox1236 That's a Crafsman original. He composes and performs all the music ever since the copyright mess a while back.
@@richcox1236 It's a mix of different instrument samples (through VSTs/plugins such as "UVI Toy Suite" and the "Darklight" / Fairlight simulator) and some simple drum parts done by drawing MIDI notes.
@@TheCrafsMan Thank you! I am sorry I have not been able to keep up with the series. Had not heard about the © issue. But there has never been one stinker in any episode. A masterclass on video production!
If you are not watching these with headphones, you are missing out! The soundscape he creates are so entertaining.
Hear, hear!
The Speak & Spell music? Was that Information Society?
@@majorskerrett4715 IIRC, @TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin created those sounds from software. He has a video on it somewhere on the channel
@@majorskerrett4715 th-cam.com/video/vylatp_5IiQ/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, he sampled and then mixed in software..
Truly the best TH-cam creator - that speak and spell edit in your music slayed me. Such amazing talent in so many areas. Thank you as always for sharing your work and your world.
Wow, thank you so much!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful video my friend! The first couple minutes are just a visual treat. You never disappoint!
Aww man, thank you so much for that! Means a TON coming from you too.
mash it mash it smush it mash it
Aaahh, let the stress of life melt away with another Crafsman 🖤
This... Is peak internet man. I am so glad I found you! And there's a catalogue. The content, the humour, the voices, the knowledge. Thank you for your work
You have such a great way of breaking down intimidating processes and making them approachable. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
You a breath of fresh air my friend.
Don't matter how the day is going..The craft man always brings a warmth to the world with that velvety voices charm😄❤️
You should make audio books!! I can definitely sit and listen to you reading the Lord of the Rings with your own style lol.
I would pay good money to listen to this e-book
Please!
I think narrating assembly manuals for things like furniture and BBQ's would make for a lot less cussin', tool tossin' and bloodied knuckles!
Perfect Steady Craftin video. Anyody else want to see TheCrafsman do a series of nature videos? That spider intermission made me want MORE!
I was quite blown away by this video, sir. This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I have some feedback. You are truly skilled and talented at toy-making. You are an expert, but what I am noticing is that your attention to detail carries over to video making. The next time I try to produce a video of some sort, I am going to think of you and the way you did this video. Watching some of this video for the second time, I noticed your "Caution: Wear you some gloves" sign on the corner of your table. Love it. The photography, sound effects, music selection and extra details alone would make this a really good video but there's more. Adding a heavy dose of knowledge, personality, humor, branding and a great voice have truly put this video over the top. Excellent, excellent work.
Wow. Please know this comment means a *LOT* to me. Truly, I'm grateful. You took the time to watch one of my videos annnd leave some BIGTIME POSITIVE encouragement. Thank you.
I wish you the very best with your productions!
lovely episode Crafsman!
I LOVE YOU Brody!!!
U made my day sooooooo very much worth LIVING....
LOVE YA CRAFSMAN
I remember as a kid I would cut and glue custom LEGO weapons for my minifigs. Your kitbashing videos reminded me of that
Cutting up figures was my biggest reservation before I really got into customizing. Thanks Crafsman, now I'm inspired to do non-destructing sampling. ^^
The Spider bit made me laugh out loud like I've never did for a long long time. Thank you, Crafsman.
As a direct supporter, I just wanna say you ain't never losing me Crafsman.

I had my first dose Caftsman last night, and I’ll be-golly if 24 hours past before I come a’ running for another! Boy oh boy I’m telling you the Craftsman pieces are motif masterpieces from the sound design, all the way up & down to the detailed composition of the backgrounds, & every crumb of delicious cornbread in between! Soulful expressions and indelible impressions created by the one & only Craftsman.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Thank you so so much, Jayden! I truly appreciate your encouraging words. Glad you found the channel, and hope you continue to enjoy!
I appreciate the blooper real included, it reminds me that we all goof up and drop the project sometimes 😊
I didn't know about the spider-finding trick! I love watching spiders in their natural environment. Thank you for showing some love to creatures that aren't as "cuddly" as other ones! :)
My goodness, you've really outdone yourself with this video. I found myself constantly in awe of the Crafsmanship on display here! From the shots to the soundscape, the music, the use of color, the pacing, the narration... This video is like sinking into a warm bubble bath. Awesome. Absolutely above and beyond.
Could see that this was a real labour of love. Happy to witness it.
I Hate and Love Kit Bashing but Craftsman Steady just saved millions of Figures in a one video! Craftsman is the best man!
I'm just so glad the dancing animation brought me to discover this gem of a channel, been watching you since.
I've been so stressed out this week, and I was trying to think of something to watch that always relaxes me. Crafsman is back and better than ever! What a nice surprise!
Any boys(and girls) dreamt about this growing up. I'm feeling very nostalgic
You're out doing yourself Crafsman, loved this video!
I love Crafsman! I show my scouts the spider trick when we go camping. Every bush you look into there are hundreds of eyes staring back at you!
Definitely some great knowledge to add to my toolbox! Thanks so much!
Means a lot coming from you, my friend! Glad you liked it!
@@TheCrafsMan Oh, you're the Godfather of crafting/making! You are one of my main inspirations that got me started about 4 years ago. Trust me, I get it, the YT thing is hard so thanks for all you do. : )
“Piece of the resistance” that one got me good 😂
Where you been CrafsMan?❤ we know those potentially unnecessary panels are for holding snacks lol. Great video, friend.
Thanks for the Vinyl Wonder shout out Crafsman!
I have attempted to watch this four times now, and fell asleep every time. Its good.
FANTASTIC episode, Crafsman!
I used to watch you a lot but I just got busy with other things and I’ve been going through a very dark part of my life the last few years but I just found your channel again and its helping a lot with my mental state. Thanks Crafsman :)
Missed you Crafsman and so glad to see you back doing action figure videos!
Thank you, my friend! Always happy to see you here!
There is sincerely no better channel on this site.
"We just have to have faith in what we are not able to see yet." --- The CrafsMan
Words to live by.
The figure that was sculpted by Crafson is awesome 👏 👏👏 Has a kind of Beetle Bailey / Blondie kind of aesthetic to it 👍🏻
This is by far one of the most enjoyable chapters my man Kraft man. You still got it brother!
I love Craftsman Steady's videos there so relaxing.
You mentioned solvent, isopropyl alcohol also works great with Apoxie and Milliput
I love how you are always going next level, and always taking us right along with you, CrafsMan.
After so many years, I'm still floored at the steady quality of your content, Crafsman. This is fantastic.
One of the very few TH-cam channels left where you get really genuinely excited when they post a new video..... You know I'm right.....
I love the content man, calming as always
Oh snap! Production is on point!!! You rock!!!!!
Crafsman glad to see you back. I'm in the process of making more videos very soon.
Craftsman, genuinely you bring a smile to my face. Keep following where your heart takes you in life and I hope more content is where that is
This looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for another great video, Crafsman!
Much love to the great and powerful Crafsman!
You give so much to this world, and your art makes my whole soul vibrate.
This looks amazing! I have to try some of that.
I didn't expect Shop Baby to be helping out in this episode at 5:18
I absolutely love the idea. I have so many action figures I'd love to sample. Another great video.
Thanks for making these videos. They're informative and entertaining. I'm currently learning toy-making!
missed you crafsman its nice to see new content and happy new years.
What a lovely walk down memory lane. You are my favorite kind of teacher. Calm and patient and positive, but also realistic about challenges and tribulations of crafting! This one is in my top five. 💙💙💙
I think that in 1979 you and would have been the best of friends. I know that you had all the cool toys of the time. Thank you.
Every time I think you can't make a better video...BOOM...Here comes a better video! Outstanding work sir!
Wow, amazing video! Worth the wait. I’m very impressed by all the new additions you’ve been working on. The intro, the music, the flashback segments, etc. Bravo!
So awesome! Thanks Crafsman. You are the best
Really appreciate the care you put into the music & added captions, it's like the cherry on top of your videos
I just love your style of doing things. You can just tell that you put a lot of effort and love into your projects.
The figure came out amazing! Great video as always Crafsman. The editing was extra top notch~
Those shots where you play old episodes on an old TV are sooooo pretty! They have such a lovely feel to them!
Thanks for the fun video! :) Your videos always make me happy! :)
Hi Crafsman! Strapping in for another incredible video. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills with us.
I'm so happy you are getting back into figure and toy making videos.
I loved my GI Joes in the 80s (the smaller ones), and would take them apart to make cooler characters. Every time I'd go play with other kids, I always knew which ones were mine because they were tweaked with other parts! 🫡
Every video, Craftsman reminds us of his greatness
Craftsman, you are something else - hilarious, creative, and seriously talented. Keep it up!
Can’t explain how amazing this video was. The quality was immaculate, and it’s super impressive to see that quality increase over the past handful of years I’ve been watching. Video looked and sounded absolutely wonderful, you’ve really outdone yourself on this one!
Legit make my day whenever you upload ❤
Love the editing on this! Also really appreciative as always of the tips on how to do things more affordably and the in depth advice on various different steps like showing how apoxie works after various times, I probably would've just jumped straight to trying to sculpt then got all frustrated. The music is super good too, really catchy! Thank you as always for all of the care and work you put in to your videos! I love that this is also a good way to keep figure in scale while getting new custom figures. Fab as usual Crafsman!
Yay! Wonderful seeing a new video from your Crafsman!
love your channel. so soothing
All your videos are so incredibly encouraging, reassuring, inspiring and helpful. I hope you know how much these videos are appreciated; Love you Mr. CrafsMan
I just love your creativity and your humor. You make my day.
What an incredible video... Interesting and inspiring... And my lands, that figure turned out really, really nice!!! Thanks for all the tips and tricks Crafsman!!! Can't wait to given em a shot!!
I needed this after having a rough day at work. Keep on steady crafting, CrafsMan.
What an inspirational video. Thanks for making this!
Your voice is so calming. Like Mr Rogers or Bob Ross. Thanks for the delightful content
This video is so great on so many levels. Thank you very much. ❤
Absolutely lovely video! Informative and relaxing!
I've been playing with mold making and resin pouring after watching your videos. Thanks for making such excellent and engaging tutorials!
Love you crafsman! Started watching in high school and now I’m out of college! Just keep on…. steady craftin’.
That’s right.
A great video as always. You never fail to bring the magic and wonder. And then when you showed Crafson's figure I got so excited! The amount of character in that character is wonderful!
Thank you so much for sharing what you learn and do. 😻
