I would use this rock to hide other rocks
For maximum security, hide rocks in rocks in a rock. Nobody will suspect a thing...
Actually no, terrible idea, I do have a rock that hides rocks that hide rocks, nothing to see here.
Just hide your house under a rock and you don't need to worry about them finding the key you put under another rock. They can't open what they can't find.
@@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689 Like a Matryoshka doll!
I think these rocks make a great geocache and forget to
Keep steady cachein
GENIUS
Fun fact, all the scenery you see when you visit Crafsman World was made with this method! I noticed while in line for the 2 Part Epoxy Coaster last year
And the admission is a pun and a packet of Tony's. What a deal!
Last time I was there, that ride was still in process of being completed by the Crafsman.
I hope you wore your dust mask
@@James_Dolensky 🎶 don't forget to wear yo dust maaaaask🎶
The line for the "Journey to the Center of a Silicone Mold" experience was long, but worth the wait.
"Take you down to perforation town" has made my day. 😆
New Crafsman shirt please.
my new favorite phrase
That really made me laugh cause it's so true
That's exactlyyyyy where i got hooked. 😹🥰😹
I think I'm gonna cover my English garden with big louisiana rocks now... thank you friend for another great video!
Thaaaaaat's what I'm talkin' about! And with *you* making them, they'll look 10x more fabulous than my ones!
@@TheCrafsMan I dont know about that
If you've been wondering whether CrafsMan revisits old ideas, well...
Here's a concrete example.
:D That's what I'm talkin' about! LOL!
It's set in stone :V Crafsman rocks.
Hard facts!
This video has cemented my love for this channel.
that was far superior to my 'you rock crafsman' joke. i tip my hat to you.
When I visited Ireland years ago, one thing that made me fall in love with the landscape was all the mossy rocks. When I got home, I looked up how much large rocks would cost, because I wanted to keep it in mind for when I lived on my own, and WHOA. I might as well buy a car, paint it like a rock, and then at least I could rock AND roll. Having been to theme parks, I knew you could get a pretty rock-like appearance with concrete, but I didn't know how I'd do something like that until this video! I want to make a big boulder for my yard now, cover it in some nice moss and put some little flowers around it. Mmmm.
That's hilarious! Glad you now have an alternative to your car plan. So much about Ireland is inspiring ... and I was there in the frigid winter! LOL ... I'm sure the summer is even better.
Maybe you could find a small broken car that's ready for the junkyard. Then cover it in wire and spackle away with the concrete mix. It would be an interesting art installation, that would be easily movable if you made it with a built in cracks for one of the doors to remain operational. If you weren't kidding about the size that you wanted keep in mind that junk yards sometime pick up cars for free so you might have to pay for a tow trunk.
People with food allergies are responsible for not eating the things they’re allergic to. They know how to read an ingredient list.
Keep the Tony’s flowing.
THE TONYS MUST FLOW
My wife bought me an industrial size Tony's. We havin jambalaya in the instapot tonight. You jealous?
Those sealed packets prevent allergies from being an issue. As someone with allergies to common food items, it's normal to read labels before opening random things of food.
got my cat sitting up on the table watching with me. every now and then I'll ask her if she's getting all the information she needs... I think she's gonna be able to make some boulders of her own soon enough! hehe
One day you're going to come home and the litter tray is going to look like a small Japanese garden with all these styled rocks.
Yes! Finally a cheap way to satisfy my "having rocks" instinct. Bonus: These are lighter to move. Thank you CrafsMan!
Loving the music!
Thanks, buddy! :D
Genuinely the most interesting, reassuring, calming and fascinating content creator I've found on TH-cam, over the past month I've binge watched pretty much every video on this channel, absolutely fan boying over the Crafsman!! Much love and keep em coming!!
Thank you so much! :D
@@TheCrafsMan - Does your online shop ship to the UK? Would love to show you some more support other than liking and subscribing (Got my eyes on one of your pins which look awesome)
@@TheCrafsMan - Spoke to Crafsmama via your store who confirmed UK shipping is a go, so I've placed my order, can't wait for my pin/stickers
that sweet sweet crafsman synth sound is always a joy to the 80s teenager that still resides somewhere inside me. much love Crafsman
Hey guess what Mr Crafsman, I bought my first sewing machine this week!!!! Do I know what I'm doing? Nope. But I'm going to learn.
SNAP! That makes me happy to hear! :D Hope you enjoy using it! My wife got one years ago and I remember her being intimidated by it. (She had only hand-sewn prior to this.)
Once she relaxed and got into it, things started to happen. :)
@@TheCrafsMan needless to say, I've been watching TH-cam this whole week. So far I made a reversible pet bandana and a hair scrunchie. Today I'm trying to sew an apron. The bobbin is giving me trouble but I will figure it out...💚
@@TheWoodburningWarrior Way to go! :D I would probably wind up just making "bird's nests", without even trying! ;) ...just like I do when I go fishing. Always gettin' lines and strings all tangled and bunched up. LOL! You hang with it!
The fact that you send Tony's to random people makes me so happy. That seasoning is loads of happiness and sneezing stuffed into a small packet.
11:29 - What? We’ve been introduced to “Crafsmomma” and “Crafson”; I do believe in all your videos, this has been the first mention of Crafsdaughter (sans the Crafs nomenclature).
:D My daughter gets mentioned when I talk about piano (like one time I was trying to figure out if it was a "C" note on my synth, I said my daughter would be correcting me) and lately she has taken a major interest in injection molding. :D
Crafsman lore runs deep
@@jrodriguez1374 like the proverbial STILL WATER
You did that so well, I'd have to say that you're a real rock star.
A tip on colouration: using liquid concrete colours (or dry colour mixed with a little water), flick dab or spray different colours onto the wet concrete after it is on the form and spritz them with pure water dilute. This helps create variations.
I'd imagine the acrylic paint applied to the wet concrete might do the same, but I've never tried that.
Boomshakalaka!
Love this one too, Crafsman!
It has some security, gardening, lighting, and outdoor audio applications!😁😁
Crafsman has been hanging out with the Muppets methinks
The lil Crafsman with the TLR is amazingly adorable and I want one
:D A dear sweet viewer made that a couple years back, and sent it to me when we were still doing the "Mail Time" segment. So kind!
@@TheCrafsMan You really do have some talented viewers!
I can understand why you might not keep on sending the packets of Tony's, but that's how you introduced that wonderful spice mix to me, and I now have a full-sized shaker! :)
I feel so bad for people who don't know Tony.
@@skullykittie9889 Been using it for about 10 years now. I put it on everything!
What does it taste like? Is it spicy? I might pick up some to try, but I got a sensitive tum.
@@DanteYewToob it's not really spicy. It's kinda like seasoned salt. I don't really know how to describe it
@@DanteYewToob it's like a mix between blackening seasoning and Cajun seasoning. Not too spicy but extremely flavorful.
Tony's is in packets? You changed my life today and I can't wait to make me some bolders. Thank you CrafsMan
Crafsman is a fan of John Denver, confirmed. Country Boy is one of my favorite songs, too. My family comes from a place in TN called Purdy, but I'm the first in the family to have been born in a place with a much larger population. That said, I do miss the area: rolling gullies of kudzu everywhere...
I hear that! I was born 30 miles outside of Chattanooga TN. (actually in Georgia). Our closest neighbor was well over a mile down the road.
Thumbs up for John Denver reference alone.
"Take you down to perforation town..." Just another nugget of Crafsman gold!!
Loving your soul patch!
I had to scroll all the way down here to see it first mentioned. Maybe it just looks so darn natural that nobody’s noticed.
Custom rocks wasn't something I was expecting a video on, but a quality video it was none the less
"This technique bouldered me over"
Crafsman videos are so multipurpose. You get crafting knowledge, Crafsman humor, cool music AND the comedy of what the subtitle function comes up with instead of what the Crafsman is actually saying.😄.
A upload? On my birthday too? Thanks crafsman!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! :D
Happy Birthday, Internet Person! :)
@@TheCrafsMan Woah, thanks crafsman! 21 feels pretty nifty so far.
Spreading the tonys love!
"that right thurr will take you down to perforation town" made me choke on my drink.
I’d never had Tony’s before watching the Crafsman. Now I can’t stop. It’s delicious. Thank you for my new food group.
I love that you waited to make this video to make sure that your project would stand the test of time first!
4:53 Made me chuckle right there! lol I needed that. Thanks for being you and letting us be a part of it.
CrafsMan's making rocks, making rocks - now I wanna make rocks, toooooo. And cover them lovely moss. Thanks, as always, for your superior videos! I love little CrafsMan with his little camera.
I just placed an order for the sparkly enamel pin and it is beautiful and gorgeous. I also had added a few stickers, and was so happy to see the free ones and the spice packet. It was a little moment of extra joy 😊 Keep on steady craftin’ my friend!
Paul, thank you! I just stuck a note by my wife's computer with your name, to be sure we kick in some EXTRA extras. Sure appreciate you!
Yeah the spice packet is appreciated and the free little figurine. I fiddle with that thing endlessly.
Yeah I think the sparkle SC pin is the best
Craftman is the most interesting person on the interweb
Use coconut choir as a more sustainable and eco-friendly version of peat moss!
The mods may seed for more moss. I've seen it blended wit yogurt and applied with a brush. It rocks (ahem) in a remarkably short time.
I was always under the impression that Pete Moss sung in the Coconut Choir,
@@bdwilcox Unfortunately, Pete (aka Peat) passed away before he could join the choir. But he will always be remembered as a fungi.
Can we all agree that we want the lil crafsman
Got the goatee growing back in. Love it!
;) Had a little time to work on it between episodes.
@@TheCrafsMan Ahem Crafsman you mean grow it between episodes. Otherwise, what?
Crafsman, that track under the shaping montage (and end credits) is the business.
Thank you!
Crafsman, You Rock!
;) Thanks, buddy!
CrafsMan mentions the dust mask with only a few notes from the song and it's just enough for me to sing it all again. :)
Some of those stickers would make great T-shirts 👍
You gotta find yourself a full service Radio Shack for those kind of exams!
They used to have a machine that would check your tubes. Not sure why it had a cartoon TV with a thermometer hanging out of its mouth.
Da perfect spot to hide your snacks and candy from siblings xD.
But won’t they wonder why you have a boulder in your bedroom? 😜
@@bassman2162 snacking in the woods!!!!
Your siblings wont know, but every ant for a mile will.😄
@@TheRealAlpha2 That's true. A flaw in the plan!
This is the best instructional video ever. Didn’t know I wanted to make a boulder but going to anyway. 😂👍🏽👍🏽
Hey, thank you so much! :D
Only got as far as 25 seconds in before I cackled. Always enjoy your storycrafting approach.
Told ma’am you asked how she was. She wanted me to let you know she’s doing good and thank you for checkin on her. We both loves you and you show.
So easy to fall into the craftsman groove with the music and smooth voice.
Try using wire lath, it's usually less expensive than fabric and you won't need newspaper to keep the mud from falling through. One more thing, if you mix sawdust and wood shavings with the concrete it will encourage the growth of moss on your rock when it's in a shady, moist area.
"That will take you down to perforation town." Ain't that the truth.
God I love this man...... It is genuinely not an understatement to say that he is a national treasure that we need to protect it all costs. It is insulting that Crafsman isn't a household name.
Please don't stop putting Tony's in the bags. I LOVE TONY'S!
I learned about Tony's Seasoning because of this channel and my life has been better for it ever since. I enjoy your style and content Mr. Crafsman!
Crafsman, your skills are unparalleled. Watching your videos is mesmerizing, satisfying and relaxing all at the same time… you remind me that a little bit of patient work goes an incredibly long way.
Craft Daddy has a soul patch.
Ain't nobody gonna talk about that? I like it, matches the soul these vids already have
Thank you! I was wondering if it was new or if I just hadn't noticed it before.
I made that little camera that tiny crafsman had at the beginning! Hope you like it!
I actually was wondering where he got it! How was it made? What's it made of? It's really cool looking.
@@yayab4771 it's a ABS vapor smoothed 3D print of my own design. I made it as a mod for my Twilight Zone pinball machine. The flash actually works. If you press the little button on top the white LED lights up.
Okay, this is the best TH-cam video to create a simple large bolder rock. Thank you!!
You my brudda are a marvel. Your ideas into action surpass anything else I'm watching. This is one of favorite shows anywhere on TV. Beaucoup Respect.
when adding some on. spray straight vinegar instead of water onto the existing dry piece. You can also spritz the final product with straight vinegar as it dry's. That will help it set harder. just soak it every couple hours for the first day or 2.
Ken, I appreciate you sharing that!
Won't that turn my new rock into a pickle?
@@DevilsHandyman you'd have to soak the Rock in pickle juice for awhile
@@DevilsHandyman nope. you would need salt and some seasoning first.
Hello Mr.Crafman. Have a nice day🤙
Wish you had a secret formula for making wood...that stuffs expensive in 2021..great video..and podcast with T Nu...Boomshakalaka
Felt arms @:43! Crafsman don’t miss a thing! Great video.
Crafsman, you have this video thing figured out. Informative, entertaining, and uplifting. The Dad joke at the end made my day. Thank you.
Don't forget to wear your work gloves, don't forget to wear your work gloves.
I can feel a remix to dusk mask coming on.
Cause this video rocks. Well, makes rocks. Fake rocks. Love you Crafsman. :{J
look at that boulder. that's a nice boulder.
Crafsman makes, making a rock fun.
Keep it light Crafsman.
Keep it light
This might be the most relaxing thing I ever watched.
I've been a TH-cam lurker for years and just found this channel. The only thing that would have made me happier is finding it way sooner. Absolutely love the content, keep up the good work!!
I love your synth-y music, Crafsman! I don't know how deep your interest in music goes, but I would love to see (hear?) you flex that talent more. Very much enjoying the sound selection from your online store. :)
It really does encourage me to read things like this! Thank you! I've been trying to piddle more with it, even trying to learn some "Music Theory". I can sorta tell or "feel" when the notes of a melody fit together, but I'd like to be able to articulate WHY that is... because I think when I understand the relationship between notes, THEN I can open up new musical possibilities. Sure appreciate you!
Crafsman you are magic.
I started watching this video being all like "I'll watch this then go have a lil snakky snack" and then BOOM 5 mins in and I'm not just asleep but I'm out COLD.
"Boom shakalaka" had me giggling like crazy. Never change, crafsman!
Crafsman what can’t you do? I believe in you and I am super thankful for all your awesome videos. One day when I get some money I will be a patron. Thanks again please keep on steady craftin.
Soul patch is back. 😎😘
My dad used to say that. “Nothing to it but to do it.” Also something like “Knuckle down, buckle down. Do it. Do it. Do it.”
th-cam.com/video/ujxirrigR4k/w-d-xo.html Your dad was a Roger Miller fan!
@@Pygar2 I just googled that after I posted! It fits that he would listen to a funny song like that.
My dad made a very realistic looking huge mushroom top for a sculpture using cement. He dug a hole in the ground the size/shape he wanted, lined in with plastic, filled it with cement, let it set, then pulled it out of the hole and put it on the prebuilt mushroom stem he'd made. He painted it vibrant poison mushroom.
It was huge. Could have easily been another place to sit in our backyard. But it was for decor (and hiding an electrical outlet).
Just finished the podcast, and then a video is out! This afternoon is just awesome
Surely you jest! A podcast?
A podcast? Where can I find it
It's on Cajun Craftastrophe's podcast channel
@@toft2k thank you
As a South Louisiana native, you can't stop including Tony's crafsman. It's up to us to spread the word about Tony's. It's truly good on everything!
Thanks to a Crafsman, I just learned after 43 years on this planet that concrete and cement weren’t EXACTLY the same thing.
Just found this video. LOVED IT. Entertaining, educational and hilarious! Bravo, great work.
Little known fact: I met a guy in California a while back when I was young whom was integral in the construction of the Matterhorn ride and all other “rocks” in the Disney theme parks. You would be shocked that all “rocks” are all artificial within the parks. They used all types of discarded metal trash like washing machines, bikes and stuff for the very middle internal welded structure before creating their secret lifelike external rock skin. He once told me he built a very large lifelike boulder using the same secret Disney formula in his front yard and one day just picked it up and placed it in another location in his front yard. He lives on a busy street and according to him he got flabbergasted looks from drivers going by. Thank you so much Sir Crafsman for sharing your secret rock recipe. I can imagine it’s similar to Disneys secret sauce and I will be doing the same for my landscaping and what not and for the fun shock of my neighbors.
That is a wonderful story! I have had thoughts of making really large rock structures around our property, even some with a secret door that allows you to go inside of them. :D
(I should have mentioned in this video about how lumber can be used to make larger structural projects.)
Thank you for sharing this!
@@TheCrafsMan Great secret doorway idea friend! Now you’ve got me thinking.
@@sclogse1 That’s so cool and makes total sense! I totally can see that use being good way to hide any erosion prevention structure installed.
I am now delighted that somewhere deep within the fake boulders of Disneyworld if a washing machine and within that washing machine is one sock. Actually - I am not delighted by that. How lonesome that poor sock would be.. "Within that washing machine are two unmatched socks who are the best of friends."
@@sclogse1 Do you mean like a duct? I wonder if it would work because window units also pull room air into them, and don't they remove the heat from that room air and blow it back in? My father worked in the platecoil industry which has to do heat exchange, but I don't fully understand the dynamics. I love that you thought of a solution for the window unit, though. They're a necessary noise pollution for many of us! 😃
Last night, I was shelling some Pistachios, and I took one of the shells and thought, "hey... That looks like a tiny little knee pad! And elbow pads, too! And shoulder pads, and a little hat or helmet, two little holes could make it a mask, or you could cut them up and put them over the shoes of an Action figure or something, or use it as a bowl!" And it really reminded me of something you might think up, Crafsman! A tiny little forest man that makes his own tiny little armor and crafts, and rides on the back of a field mouse! Like something out of The Secret World of Arrietty or Grounded, you know?
Somebody make this happen please.
Tony's seasoning is life!
I wanted to buy some large rocks for my garden and my heart broke when I saw the prices and i went home empty handed. I’m gonna make my own rocks using your tips. Thank you so much!
Craftsman!!! My hero!!! I would love to make my shed look like a little castle. Make the wooden walls look like natural Stones and make a small toner on it.
Yet I have no clue how to do it.
Maybe you could teach me with your magic skills 😃
Build your tower out of 2x4s nailed, screwed or bolted to your shed, cover with hardware cloth using a staple gun and cover with concrete/cement. Go for it!
Do the walls the same way (don't put a nail into a power line or water or gas pipe- ask me how I know) but do one piece at a time unless you can sculpt the joints between "stones" in while you go.
CrafsMan got himself a puppet - that's adorable!
how have i not found this guy before now? This is GREAT!
I received my enamel pin orders they look even better in person! Also thank you for the extra stickers and seasoning packet you all are far too generous.
"That will take you right down to Perforation Town" had me rolling!! This gets the point across WAY better than "safety first" ever would!
Great old school crafsman with modern production. Thumbs up
Your jokes get me every time!
Thank you, CrafsMan! I don't wanna clog up your inbox, just putting this here for the algorithm. 👉😎👉
Take you down to perforation town hahaha that was great !
This is legit like my favorite TH-cam channel
This video really, ah, *rocks* , crafsman.
I think I need to make me some boulders for my little patio garden now! More rocks means less places for weeds to grow. 😂
Also, that Water-Cement-Sand segment/edit was incredibly satisfying.
We did some landscaping in our front yard this year and learned we can legally harvest 10 lbs per day from public lands.
But we live in volcanoville out here in eastern Oregon, so we wore ourselves some gloves for the pokey rocks!
I am going to use this method to make some moss garden planters. I love that it doesn't require much concrete, and it's so light! Also, I think your boulder looks a lot more natural than most fake stones I've seen in garden stores. Especially after being weathered!
This is amazing. It's like a modern day DIY Bob Ross
