My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
I’m a Japanese person, and far from being disrespectful, I feel so happy that CrafsMan featured a craft from my culture! You always make me smile. Love you too, CrafsMan!
"then they cannot ascertain your financial situation" -- Crafsman
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you really are a national treasure that way too few people know exists.
“If you tell somebody that you’re just window shopping, then they’ll think you ain’t got no money. But if you tell somebody you’re window shopping while you’re looking at windows, they can’t ascertain your financial situation.” Words to live by
I love that bottle...so much character to it..wonder what it would look like with a glow in the dark lava colored resin
I went to cracked mantle with lava too.
I had envisioned a glowing indigo/purple in it.
@@EllenJB oh yeah, that would be beautiful too. Maybe Crafsman should have made a mold first.
Same
@richard mccann the o jays money money?...great song...lol
This is a whole new thing. Let's call it Can'tsugi.
LOL!!!!! Mannnnnnn, you don't know how bad I want to go back and re-shoot this, JUST so I can say that.
@@TheCrafsMan Don't worry CrafsMan, your original shoot was perfect as is.
@@TheCrafsMan Going back to splice it in would seem appropriate given the content =)
@@benbrown8363 Comedy gold.
I knew a guy named Kinsugi. He cracked me up all the time
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Nice one! :D
That joke is golden!
You really should come up with something concrete.
This had me in pieces 😂
No.. stopit
Crafsman: I think i mighta made a mistake..
Bob Ross: We don't make mistakes...
Just happy little accidents!
When CrafsMan says "I love y'all" I feel it deep in my soul!
Lots of TH-camrs say it, but I feel like Crafsman really means it.
I do. I have bigtime love for y'all, knowing I'm loved by The Best, even when I don't deserve it.
I really hope each of y'all are doing well. For me, I feel the mentally-best when I'm being creative, and I want to see others do that too. :)
Game designer from Japan. Loved this video and all that you do.
I love this! Instead of throwing out broken things, you not only restore them, but also give them unique personality.
Just like lacquer wear and tear on guitars creates a history of your time using it.
You sounded a little disappointed in the gold leafing finished product, but I liked it a lot better than the epoxy version!
Crafsmommas gonna get you when she finds out you broke her bowl!
Edit - and cup!
I almost got whooped! LOL!
@@TheCrafsMan I know we are also all thankful that she slacks up on your honey-do list just enough so that you can make a few TH-cam videos every now and then.... We would be lost without them...
@@TheCrafsMan that Hull mug 😵
Craftsman my brother and I love you so much, I edited a video of you for his birthday to make it look like you’re congratulating him. My brother lives in the US and I live in Israel and one of the things we send each other constantly is your videos ❤️ please never stop!! 🌺💐
Done Is Better Than Perfect my friend. - Eric.
I think the concrete piece looks beautiful.
I thought your pfp was an eye lash stuck to my screen..
@@lakai02 well I thought I had hit my head, and was lying on the ground looking at you.
Agreed, it looks like a lava flow.
Something tells me the next time Crafs-mama brings you lunch... it'll be on a paper plate with a styrofoam cup.
Crafsman, I wish you would get a spotify account and post all of your original music up. I would listen to it all the time. Also... plate falling. apart nearly sent me to the hospital laughing... Thank you so much Mr. The Crafsman!
LOL! Glad you liked that plate situation. It was 100% unscripted. I just kept on going as if it would all still work out. (Also, hold those pieces together longer than I did. ;) )
I have a lot of my MP3s on Patreon as downloads, but I wonder how difficult it is to get them also on Spotify.
@@TheCrafsMan My band looked into it... it's not really that hard. You have to pay a distribution company about $75? to get licensed I think and then you are good to go. We never did it, but need to. I need to get off my rear and help with Patreon too... but we've been saving lately. As always thanks again and keep....... *looks under the table*..... *looks outside the window*... steady craftin!
From what I understand, Kintsugi is all about finding beauty in imperfection. I think each piece looks good, especially considering the fact that this was the first time you tried it. The bottle at the end looks great!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ACCENT! listening and understanding is the very best. The whispered accent is like the wind. Powerful and formless.
Wow. That concrete bottle turned out absolutely stunning. And I love the care you took to gently lay in the gold leaf...such patience! It's wonderful Crafsman!!
The Crafs Man and a cup of coffee. Can't think of a better way to start my day. Thank you for all of the amazing content you create for us Crafs Man!
Crafsman, you are the sweetest youtuber ever. I wish you 1000 blessings and I can't thank you enough for sharing all of these awesome projects with us. You are very inspiring.
Looks like you made an estus flask. An undead favorite
"A etsus flax"
@@ICULooking?
Long may the sunshine👐
Get ye flask
You should absolutely do a full philosophy video of just talking over some beautiful b-roll...
That bottle was touch and go for a bit, but I really like how it turned out. Kinda shows that something might look rough on the outside but can be shiny and gold on the inside.
Thank you! I almost scrapped it (and the whole video) but I had already put it up to a vote on Patreon, so I felt like I had to push through. And I'm glad I did. I appreciate your comment!
@@TheCrafsMan
I'm glad when you show us things that don't go to plan. It helps.
That concrete vase looks gorgeous in the end - like some kind of magical artifact! Also, the music in this episode was fantastic! Real chill 80's neon vibes. Thanks for another delightful video!
Crafsman your the BEST!!!!!! Your voice is so so relaxing! I tried to use Kintsuki too but....I think I made it even worse . Every time you make a new video, i get so hyped up because I know I'm gonna learn something new from you. Love your video CrafsMan!
Only Crafsman would think to make a cement milk bottle beautiful!
Got my daughter a shirt and stickers from your store for her 13th birthday. She was so darn excited! Thank you sir.
You're making the world a better place for good.
God bless
That concrete bottle turned out so beautiful! Like a broken planet with lava inside!
Craftsman, your videos are on a league of their own. Pure Art.
In a building supply store, if you say “I’m window shopping,” they’ll show you the windows they sell.
Can’t Soak Ya ... Oh, I mean Kintsugi ... is cool.
At Harbor Freight, you can buy a big bag of disposable glue brushes for a couple of bucks or so. I think they’re labeled “Acid Brushes,” but I use them for glue and for applying various chemicals to things I’m working on.
That is good to know!
I also use those Harbor Freight Acid brushes for Model bases, and the 36 pack of chip brushes are great for cleaning all sorts of things!
To make my fake kintsugi I've found it helps to slightly bevel the edges on your broken pieces with a cheap dollar store diamond file. Then use thin super glue to put it back together. Paint over the cracks with metallic (water based) acrylic and let it dry. Don't worry if you go over. May take a few coats to fill. After the paint has dries use a slightly damp cloth to rub over the filled area to smooth/sand the area down level and clean off the surface paint. Also it is pronounced more like keent-su-gee. The letter "I" in japanese is pronounced like"ee"
I love the gold and black contrast!
I just watched this with about 500 other people. Great job Crafsman. Please keep steadycraftin. We are your audience and we love you. Does anyone else refresh the video to see how many people were watching with you? I don't know if it works like that but it's fun anyway.
Just when I thought I couldn't love you any more...I am proven wrong again! I LOVE that you did this! I love this concept and had JUST written about it recently. Here's what I wrote: "Contemplate this thought today. Imagine that whatever hardships you’ve encountered on your journey that have “cracked” you, were an essential part of your growth - to make you into the fabulously unique individual you are today. See if you can imagine yourself lovingly, painstakingly dusting those cracks with gold. Stand back and admire them; appreciate them; and maybe even be grateful for them. " I also love that you show yourself just trying something, even if it doesn't turn out perfectly the first time - gives us all more confidence to just try. Although, I'll have to say, I LOVED the way that bottle looked when you were done! Thank you for sharing this today, Crafsman! You are a gem! I'm so grateful for your channel...
Wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I appreciate you!
Crafsman, I've tried this before, and I found that the gold mica powder I used seemed to act like an accelerant in the epoxy I'd chosen (PC-Clear). You might consider just mixing up the epoxy as normal (with no additive) then just dusting the seams with the powder so it clings to the epoxy that's squeezed out of the seams. I really love how the concrete bottle turned out though! Also, as much as new windows cost these days, if you tell someone you're window shopping while you're looking at windows, they might just think you're rich....
In Hepburn romanization for Japanese, the "i" is equivalent to "ee" in English. "Keen"tsugi
The root "kin" means metal, usually of value - genkin is the word for cash, due to coinage being prominent in the Japanese monetary system. Typically, kin refers to gold though, where as gin ("g", like in gray) means silver.
The “g” in “gray” is a hard g.
“Gentle:” soft g
“Giggle:” hard g (3 hard “g”s, in fact)
You did it for me!
@@censusgary Soft = J sound?
😭 My whole life has been a lie.
Not very intuitive...
Hmmmmmmm...
Does hard C still = K?
🤔
Not very consistent either...
Is this some New Age Common Core Math type curriculum for English where yall are turnin' all my Z into S?

Conspiracy?

Nice info there. The closest equivalent pronounciation in english is "keen sue ghee" i suppose
@@thesturm8686 More or less. The T is present in Tsu. It's pronounced like ... well like in "It's", briefly at the beginning, but the main emphasis on the Su. There is a "Tsu" character as well as a "Su".
Love you crafsman, you are a constant inspiration and allways brighten my day, even when I'm not feeling too good.
6:50 those moments in crafting are when i usually lose my temper. you just... kept working. i respect that.
Crafsman I see your Hull coffee cup. I have a set my parents bought 50 years ago. Love your show. Thank you for your effort.
Maybe it's because I had a rough night and my brain is kinda soup, but honestly I could watch an entire video of you playing with floaty gold leaf. Not even necessarily doing anything with it, just enjoying the floaty shiny. And really, things turned out beautifully. Much love. ❤️
If I could zoom in on the craft man asthetic I would say it's like asmr meets wholesome vapor wave.
This is a great way to repurpose some old projects. Thanks for this.
I love this guy's voice.. it's nice to listen to. The crafts are pretty cool too
I like the philosophy behind Kintsugi. It's very thought provoking.
I CANNOT WAIT TO DO THIS PROJECT! This is going to be so much fun. I want to jump up out of bed in my pajamas and run down to my studio shed right now. I have got some pieces I have not quite finished because it needed something extra. I have gold leaf and epoxy glue ready to go! You did it again, Brother TCM. You got me fired up about another awesome project to put in my Etsy shop, or just give to a loved one when they break something. My uhhh...person I know...drops their wine glass quite often. It would be so cool to see what metals I could use on them. I love you and Crafsfamily very much. God bless ya'll...alright.
I could watch a video of you just attempting to say Japanese words lol. You make my Sundays.
Very kind, my man! Thank you!
Thanks for another great video Crafsman.
The bottle looks great! The only improvement would be to fill up some of the deeper cracks with something (polymer clay? Super glue and baking soda?) before you add the gold. The epoxy method clearly needs a much brighter gold powder and very controlled application. I actually have a handmade ceramic pint cup that I've been wanting to do the epoxy method with for years now. Thanks for making some mistakes for me :) Maybe I'll actually get around to doing it.
I agree with this 100%! I thought of doing a filler but wanted to see just how it would turn out with straight gold leaf wedged into it. That ended up being a sort of filler in itself, but still - you're right - adding the gold leaf on top of a filler would have given an even nicer result.
Thank you Crafsman, I really needed this today
I love you CrafsMan. You're good for my soul. Stay steady.
So greatful to have you in the world at the same time as the Crafsman. I love you thank you for the ideas.
Thank you so much for another amazing video I look forward to each Sunday. Your creativity is inspiring!
Crafsman your videos are the gold that mends the breaks in my soul. Keep on keeping on sir!
I love the ideas presented! Thank you for sharing
The milk bottle cast looks great! A tip for repairing bowls and plates is after applying the epoxy, put the object into a bag of plastic beads or pellets. The pellets support the weight of the object so the joints don't open up. Any that stick to the object can usually be snapped off easily. I got a bag of cheap plastic pellets used for making a weighted blanket, which I had used to try my first injection molding cast, and they worked great to glue a plate back together! Keep on steady craftin!
I did this back in the day with epoxy and brass filings (gold is expensive and all that). It was still beautiful and my favorite mug managed to live another ten years after that before finding itself thoroughly crushed when it fell under the tractor. I utilized a "food safe" epoxy for the whole thing, but this being back in the late 90's, I've since realized it probably wasn't actually food safe considering it's not available for purchase anymore. There may be decent replacements out there today, though, I just haven't looked.
As long as you're not putting it in the microwave (the metal content can do some crazy things in there). Another thing that I learned was that it was a good idea to use more epoxy than you need. It should be flowing out of the joints so you can get a good surface finish without pits later on.
Often it helps to construct a jig if you can. I ended up using extra foam packing material and I carved it to hold the pieces in place while the epoxy cured. That's really the hardest part - getting the epoxy to the right working texture and then putting the puzzle back together... you don't want to be asking yourself which piece goes where in the moment, you want to be FULLY prepared and have it all planned out.
The final recommendation I have for anyone trying this is to do a number of test pieces (just like CrafsMan did) before working on your favorite mug. That's what I did, and the first two mugs I fixed were horrendous. The third looked pretty good, and then I felt ok going in to fix the favorite mug.
inspiring - love the way you look at things! Thanks!!!
I really love how the concrete bottle turned out!
i love this channel because your so calm
crafsman - I like your attitude. no failures, always learning.
Thank you for your wonderful videos and I wish you and yours all the best.
This channel is so great. Never a bad video
Nicely done.....keeping Steady
thats just fantastic. nice work the jar is awesome!
This is in fact the best thing I've watched on the internet this week.
I'm TOTALLY subscribing to your channel!
Yeeeeeeeeeah buddy! New crafsman! 😁😁😁love you
The Craaaaafs man! I love this channel your craft skills are amazing. Steady crafting 👍
A nice way to start the day.
With the Crafsman
This is the best channel I have ever stumbled across on
I loved how all of them turned out but that concrete bottle looked as though it was a historical relic. Love the videos!
I have done Kintsugi and I would say for your first try you knocked it out of the park!
Waking up to a new crafsman episode is an absolute joy! I start college tomorrow and this is just the thing to get me pumped!!
My husband works in the IT dept of a local university. I wish you all the best in these difficult times, and hope you can somehow have some fun too! Keep steady crafting!
The bottle is incredible, really beautiful.
I mean this in the most polite way possible. Your videos help me sleep and no it isn't because they're boring. The content is great! Your voice is so soothing that I get so, so relaxed :)
I love this channel so much...
Thank you God! 🙏 Blessing us with a Crafsman video on Sunday!
I needed that laugh. Thankz you CrafsMan
I really liked the concrete and gold bottle. If I had concrete, gold or even a bottle, I'd give that project a go.
you did such a good job i love these!!!
CrafsMan, this vidja is sublime. I’m having an epiphany right now. The process of glorifying the mending of a cherished vessel is exactly what humanity should embrace at this moment. “Equal under god”, the creator.
I LOOOOOOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!
I really like that bottle. The colors coming off that gold leaf are just lovely. And your humor is, too. A big ol' gold star for you, Crafsman!!!
That was another amazing video, there are so many things you can give a second life to with the help of crafssugi!
Thank you so much for this demonstration! I have not seen this technique since art school. There are a number of pieces around my house that are hand made pottery that have had "little accidents." I will practice on some mass produced things just as you have, and hopefully, bring the originals back to life when I feel more confidence!
Merry Christmas Crafsman & Crafsmama! I luuuv y'all
Great video and great music in today’s episode!
Mr. Miyagi say: "Glue on. Glue off"
Your music gets better and better! I really appreciate that you make your own tunes, sounds great!
The bottle looks great!
That cracked bottle is gorgeous, truly it has such character and patina. great work again Crafsman
You're my hero Sir Craftsman 👍🤙🖖✌
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin is the Mr. Rogers of the 21st century, Amazing, love his videos.
You kill me, crafsman! I love it.
crafsman sounds like my late great uncle. such a soothing voice i could listen to it forever
I think it turned out wonderful! BTW, Music is awesome as well..... So much talent! Thank you for this, and everything else you do, I feel the love.
Love it bro!
