Never change Crafsman. Best show on TH-cam.
LOL! Thanks, Tyler! :D :D :D
Is there a cooler youtuber that Craftsman. Such a cool laid back dude. Pleasure to watch, and listen. Great videos too
With as many hours as I've spent on YT I have yet to find a better YT'er. :)
AGREED!
Mannnnn, y'all are too kind! I sure appreciate reading things like this. Thank each of you!
not alive anymore: Bob Ross xD
Steven Mason there is none cooler!
Hey Crafsman,
Like others, I just came to check back in and make sure you were still planning to make videos since your channel is so great, and I saw you replied to another comment saying you were having trouble coming up with unique stuff to talk about. I wanted to say that I think a lot of people (myself included) aren't super familiar with what you might think is a common technique, so don't be afraid to make videos about less specific stuff, we will still watch them!
Also, off the top of my head, I recall you were making stone veneer for a wall in a different video and I'd personally love to see a video about how to apply the veneer to the wall or even just any more concrete projects you might be working on. Your concrete videos inspired me to get into masonry a bit and I've since built a brick fire pit (complete with mortar, not just stacked) and I have plans to do a stone veneer retaining wall as well (I'm currently mold shopping).
I'll keep checking back, I watch all of your videos 5-10 times and I know I'm not alone in that. Thanks for the effort and all the great tips so far.
Tyler, that is extremely encouraging to me. Thank you so much. I do have actually two videos in mind, and hope to be cutting those together soon. I'm tickled to hear that the concrete veneer video inspired you to make a brick fire pit! Right time of year for that, too! :D Thank you again for the big encouragement, sir!
I think that even if he taught to make paper flowers, I'd watch the whole thing (even if I already knew how to make the flower) because HE makes it unique and enjoyable.
"Work it work it work it!" I love how you finally brought some some fun to the craft molding and teaching game! You were quick, informative, precise and ...not boring! So I watched it all the way through, hopped on here to leave this comment, and realized that almost everyone else that has commented is saying the exact same thing. No more boring long confusing videos. You are now my go-to guy
Crafsman your quality of content and the work you do just keeps climbing. Cant wait for the next one
I'm always encouraged by that, Ian! Thank you so much for the support!
I fail to think of any other channel which so consistently (and by that I mean, every video is a favourite ) releases amazing content that is both engaging and relaxing, straightforward and yet supremely rewatcheable.
thanks, craftsman, I really appreciate you!
Thank you so much for that! It means a lot to me. I would like to do more videos, but the biggest problem is coming up with a technique I feel is interesting enough to do a video about. I have done a few general / update / wandering around type videos, but I didn't want to get in the habit of doing that. This feedback is encouraging to me.
When you introduce Quick Steel : Cool AF
LOL! Thank you, Paul! :)
Where have you been all my life?!? So glad I found you!!!
Top notch as usual. Please never change CrafsMan.
Thank you, Michael!!!
It's so cool to see your editing and filming quality get better and better with each video! Love the sound effects and music in this one, masterfully done.
Thank you so much, Vance! I keep trying to improve, so it's good to get this feedback. :)
I love all your products. They are well used and well loved and you can tell you're a true Crafsman at heart.
That's very kind! Thank you so much for watching!
Oooh! The last owl, spectacular!😍😍😍
It shines so beautifully.
Glad you liked it! I'm planning to do another video a little later down the road about making things look like metal, as an alternative to expensive MetalClay. :)
These videos are so great to help out others in their crafts and generally cool stuff, and the little guitar for the steel putty made me giggle. Thanks for another upload :)
You are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :D
"You know how it goes by now, you PROFESSIONAL by now."
Omg stop 😄
These methods are very clever and simple and they solved many of my life long dilemmas after just a week of watching. Thank you, CrafsMan!
I'm already transferring some prints onto things.
Glad to hear that, Pea Oat! :D Thank you for watching!
Thanks Crafsman! Great information presented in a fun and entertaining manner-you're the best Crafsman!
Thanks so much, Todd! :)
Excellent video instruction...and so COOL!!
Amazing work.
Awesome work! CrafsMan videos always brighten my day!
Thank you, Colin! :D Glad to hear that - makes it all worthwhile for me. :)
Thank you Crafsman!
Another great and informative video 😊🙏
This is the second video I've seen of yours, and I love it so much. You are so informative and smooth at the same time. I hope you continue to make more, because I'm definitely going to follow you now!
Thanks, Alexis! My goal is to make a video per week, ever since I set up a Patreon account. :D
Love your videos. Simple and to the point. Keep up the creativity Crafsman.
Thanks a lot, Rajendra!
My son and I love you, Mr. CrafsMan!
I'm so happy to hear that, Jim! Thank y'all for watching!
CrafsMan - I just wanted to say thank you so much for what you do. Please keep it up.
Steffan, I really appreciate this! Thank you for watching and supporting! :)
So inspiring!
Love these and the silicon moulds you made from scratch, I like them for the metal clay I use.... good stuff Craftsman!
Thanks so much! :D
Cheers Crafsman! Looks like a lot of fun :)

Awesome video. Never heard of quick steel...pretty cool! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! And thank you for watching!
Craftsman, you got to be the coolest Cat on TH-cam, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Always excellent explanations and to the point. You're a joy to listen to and your videos really get the craft juices flowing. You are my favorite TH-camr of all time and I just found you today. God is good and you are a blessing 🤗
:D That's super sweet of you, Irene! I'm glad you like my videos! God Bless you!
This is awesome!
Thanks, Michael!
You are the best Crafsman!
Hey, thank you Charlie! I appreciate you!
Wow the shoe polish really added to the overall look. Amazing job! Keep the videos coming :)
Hey Ashley! Thanks for watching! You can do the "blackwash" technique as well, because the dark color filling in the details helps the higher/polished parts stand out more. :)
I love you man! You are awesome.
Loved this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Jennifer!
Dude! Thats awesome. I'm going to use your methods for G Scale Train Parts. I will let you know how it turns out.
I could make a good living myself, following all your crafting examples and living modestly. SOOOO COOOLL!!!!!
Man, Russell... thanks so much!
That Nickle silver powder is great
Wow! Thanks!
You're welcome! :D
A product I use alot is "fix it stick". I get it at Lowe's in the plumbing aisle. It's basically the same thing as the "quick steel".
Good stuff, CrafsMan! all good things, all good things...
Thank you, sir! Always good to hear from you!
Thanx man didnt know you could cast with quick steel or Jb quick , know i could cast model parts with a realist metal look
You're welcome, sir! Hope you enjoy casting model parts with this! Dusting the mold with some metal powder (and maybe even polishing against it with the back of a spoon bowl) goes a long way in getting that metal look too. :)
As always, loved the video :) Take care my friend.
Thanks again, Dashn64! :D
Whist this, my necklace, bracelet and earrings production is going to improve 200%, thank you CrafsMan
Glad to hear it! :D Thank you for watching!
have you tried PMC? (easy fire, sculptable metal clay)...im loving these videos. soo inspirational and soothing
Ooohhh I love this....
Crafsman you've got to be my favorite TH-camr
Wow. That means a LOT to me!
You have a great channel Crafts man 👍👍😀👻 see ya on the next one 👍👍
Just found your channel, I got to say you do amazing work and with a great personality. Keep up the good work !
Thank you so much, sir!
Do you have plans for some more videos? You have so much talent.
He does it again!
:D Thank you for sticking with me, Jeff!
Another video so soon? :)
I love the little owls, this looks like so much fun.
I enjoyed the little bits of music in the video!
Keep up the good work Crafsman.
Hey, Dave! Thanks so much for the comment! Yeah, I'm trying to crank them out a little more frequent now. Got another one in the works. :)
Nice! 😁
Thanks, Brenda!
It appears I've found my way back to this channel.
I'm not quite sure of the means that I got here, but I'm still glad I did.
Glad you did too, Maxwell! Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
Love the videos... I must admit, I personally prefer the older ones without music and sound effects, but still love them
Thank you, Brendan! And I appreciate that feedback. The older way was certainly easier, but I felt like I needed to "improve" for my viewers. Maybe I can hit the right balance in there. :)
Thank you for believing in us the Crafsman
Thank YOU! :D
Hi, CrafsMan! Haven't seen any videos from you lately...I do subscribe, but YT hasn't been sending them to me lately....
annnyyyhooo, I LOVE THIS ONE!!! I just happened to have tried Easy Mold for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Gotta make small molds and WORK FAST with that stuff, but it does a great job! I got it cuz I tried the DIY recipes for silicone and ended up with hit-and-miss results. A whole lotta mess and not reliable results. So yea, Easy Mold was, well - - EASY! And I have been using Apoxie sculpt for years. ALSO GREAT STUFF! I didn't know any of that stuff about the mica powder tho! I have some and I'm excited to try it now. Thanks for another amazing CrafsMan Show!!!! Hugs, cat
HEY, CAT! :D Glad you saw this one. Yes, Easy Mold is fantastic. And you do have to work pretty quick. I remember making mold of a large figure the first time I ever got it. I realized that not only do you have to have everything ready to go, but the more mass to the mold, the quicker it cures. Hope you enjoy combining the mica powder with your castings! You can even get really creative and "dust" specific parts of the mold with different colors.
I need to get that Quick Steel! That is fast!
Thankyou...
Great video! Does the nickel finish work with the apoxy resin as well? Thanks!
You sound like a cool cat from way back, keep up the great videos!
Nice video i learned that epoxy i uses to uses can be used for the casting positive. But still lacking negative rubber based products for a negative. The only ones are silicone , latex, or rubber based hardware products that need to be modified unless one has access to the pro quality custom designers silicon /latex based products don't know exactly where those are sold locally.
The platinum cure and other 2-part silicone mold products do indeed typically have to be ordered (at least around where I live), unless you want to get creative with regular silicone. I have seen tutorials where people use the regular stuff to make a mold, but it is more on the messy side. :/
This is amazing! You need to do voice over work for nature documentaries!
also a great tutorial TheCraftsMan keep up the good work man.
THANK YOU! :D I would enjoy narrating documentaries, but first I need to learn a lot more. HA! :D
These videos never fail to make me LMAO!!!
HA! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
can we use this EasyMold putty for bronze, brass or tin?
The Bob Ross of crafting ^^
Gush it an mush it...QUICK STEEEEEL
:D Oh yesssssss, you know it is! LOL!
Crafsman, can this method be used to make something with depth or something thats 3d? Like a small doll house scale bowl or something?
I honestly think you are Bob Ross reincarnated. I haven't seen very many of your videos but I've already subscribed! Never change please!
Wow. Thank you so much, Millie!
I’m glad I stumbled across your videos! I enjoy watching them! I have one question about the metal powder... what would be the best way to cover the back of the item?
Thanks for watching! You can rub the metal powder on the back while it's curing in the mold. :D
Thanks!
That's awesome! I need to see if I can find those products, or their alternatives, here in South Africa :D Is the QuickSteel durable enough to be drilled into to create a hole for a bail or jump ring? Thanks so much for the video!
Hi Delyth! Nice to hear from you again! According to the manufacturer, QuickSteel is drillable and sandable. If drilling to attach a jump ring, I would be sure to leave some good thickness on the top, so that the jump ring doesn't pull through. Hope this helps!
YOU PROFESSIONAL BY NOW
This is a great tutorial for making objects from molds! I was wondering though once you make the mold how can you add a hook or a hole to put it on a necklace?
Hi Chelsea! If you'd like to make a hole in the cast piece, you can either drill through it (if it's a hard plastic or epoxy, like I use in the video) OR you can plan ahead of time while making the mold and incorporate a "pin" or "peg" into the mold so that, when cast, you'll have a hole through that part of the cast piece. That might be a little trickier than just drilling, and you may also have more chance of air bubbles with that approach. What I would suggest is the method I've used in the past: Before making the mold, take the piece you'll be copying and add a little dimple or tiny indention to the area where it should be drilled (like at the top, if you're making a necklace pendant)... then when you make the mold, and copies of the piece, you'll have a mark showing you where to drill. Hope this helps!
Are you Snoop Dog? Love your videos!!! Keep crafin!!
HAHA! I'm not, but I'm glad you like the videos!
Is it possible to watch a Crafsman video without smiling? I don't think so.
Ha! I'm glad to hear that. :)
*Hypothetically*, I suppose?
Hahahahahaha!!!!! I love your tutorials!!!
Thank you for checking them out, Sandra! :)
can you pour bizmuth or pewter into these purple molds?
The uh creasa-the-creavisa-the creasa. 😂😂 Awesome sauce!
Who deah...hello. love it!
LOL! Glad to hear it, Michelle!
Niiiiiiice
:) Thanks, Richard!
so cool! do you think these could be used outside? probably not the one with the nickel silver?
Hi Tara! Thanks for watching! I imagine they can be used outside in some capacity. I actually made one which was mixed with iron oxide, because I wanted to see if I could get it to look rusted. Left it out for many days. It didn't rust, but it didn't mess up in any other way, either. I probably wouldn't build a permanent monument out of epoxy putty, but overall it's pretty durable. :)
What a dude
:) Thank you for watching!
Hey Crafsman, jus wonderin'.. Could the real metal powder react with the methods in your patina episode and make patina looking metal plastic?
Hey Chad! It's possible. I've had mixed results getting patina from powders, due to the way it's sorta... "grainy". Like when I mix copper powder with epoxy, the surface isn't a smooth continuous copper surface, and the patina looks different when it's attempted. But there are some possibilities here, for sure!
Crafsman will this turn the skin colors like green? Can I somehow coat or dip the object to avoid allergies or the nickle?
Hello there! It's possible, but I know everyone reacts differently. I would suggest coating it in an acrylic sealer. Some people even use cyanoacrylate (superglue) or other types of polish. :)
Have you tried Blue stuff mold from a company called Green Stuff World? It is a thermoplastic that makes quick, easy and detailed molds. There are a few videos on youtube about it
Thanks for mentioning! I've pretty much just stuck with Smooth-On for all my mold and casting products. May have to check them out. Thanks again!
