How to make the most realistic harmless hatchet. (DIY Film Props)

This video shows how I made a realistic but relatively safe prop hatchet, for film or theatrical use.
A goal with this video was to use only materials I had left in the shop, so there are alternative materials (potentially better) that you can use.

No matter how stressed I am, it all melts away when I watch this guy. Thanks for calming me down.

[@Marauder99991]

Crafsman is the Bob Ross of KZbin crafting and I am 100% here for it.

[@JamesVytas]

He’s way more interesting than bob ross.

[@graphicsgod]

👏👏👏

[@leelee1286]

Omg 100% accurate!

[@MisterRivers]

I'm going to make one of these so I can cut down an artificial Christmas tree this year.

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Ah, so you're the reason KZbin recommended me this after binging on some Steven Wright videos... 😂

[@XselfwillrunriotX]

You really lookin to upset some people, aren’t ya? 😂😂

[@ragetist]

This is perfect for loaning tools to people that never return them

[@JMan-The_AntiCitizen-]

I felt this comment on a molecular level. I've stopped loaning tools because of this lmao

[@susskinsgamer]

Crafsman, I immediately start smiling when you post a new video. Your style is so captivating and soothing at the same time. “Wear you some gloves” is part of my vocabulary now. And the woodpecker in your title sequence gives me a dopamine hit. Much love to you and your family from Minnesota.

[@machineman6498]

Dust mask. Always.

[@pepi560]

love that you bring attention to not needing the EXACT materials and tools to still get very impressive results. too many companies in other hobbies try to sell you "THE" solution to all your hobby needs that this is a refreshing take.

[@rappeezy]

This is what got me in the first place. That latex bolts video was hot fire.

[@anthonywestbrook2155]

“Satisfactory” is such an understatement. This is amazing.

[@ZeroTooL88]

Things I like part 2 would be so nice. I still go back to the old one.

[@jonahpahl]

Same

[@sketch2347]

that is triple S tier 10/10 movie effect weapon right there, holy mackeral Crafsman, that is amazing art right there.

[@volttherobot]

1:03 oh look at all that upcoming goodness right there... "Frog and Toad SCULPT"..."Things I like, PART 2"...

[@lukasketner]

I really want to see the MUSCLE figure get made! I've been wanting to make my own for years. A Madball is on my SC wishlist as well.

[@machineman6498]

Can’t help but reading anything Frog and Toad related in CrafsMan voice.

[@travisshallenberger9486]

So many great ideas for videos, it's like a bowl of candy. The MUSCLE figure, building a TONK! and even the ones that don't require lots of capitalization.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I'm looking forward to Tampography!

[@GruntyHerder]

Babe wake up, new steady craftin just dropped!

[@Scodiddly]

"That is correct"

[@coolcoolercoolest212]

Oof, how long was I asleep? I was having the craziest dream. I was in some sort of school but it was in Germany and here’s the weird part, everyone was speaking English for some reason. Anyway I was in this weird school and it was like hogwarts but without magic and also it was all outdoors if that makes sense? Like all the classes and stuff were out in a park or garden or something. It was pretty wild.

[@h3xt]

The background music 🎶 with the speak and spell sounds so rad

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

This is the real crafs-style beat.

[@h3xt]

@@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC craftsman produces some banger tunes!

[@gleamingsilhouette]

Agreed, the music in this one goes crazy

[@aboz8649]

Crafsman has always been tuned in

[@TheCrafsMan]

Wow - thank y'all so much! I released the MP3 on Patreon, and have been slowly adding songs to a hopefully larger video that I can release (here publicly) JUST as music. :)

[@JackSassyPants]

The music you wrote for this video gave me chills- using samples of the Speak & Spell not just for the song but to punctuate different parts of the video is such an amazing move. You never cease to impress me, CrafsMan.

[@Dan_Does]

This is classic Crafsman! Can't tell you how much I loved this video. Or maybe I can... I think I just did.

[@johantjie]

It's my birthday today. I was so happy to wake up and see a new video! Best gift ever!

[@VacFink]

Happy Birthday from the Internets!

[@ChukFlanagan]

This was the craziest thing I've seen on KZbin in a while. Came out incredible all while adapting to challenges with the build.

[@P-Bass_Pete]

Oh wow! I forgot about this guy! I used to watch this channel a long time ago. I love his voice, i find it so soothing.

[@AppliedCryogenics]

This has got to be the most entertaining craft channel on KZbin, plus The hatchet turned out excellent.

[@nathanhackerbts9081]

Love the green screened cameos throughout! Really creative!

[@ElevenPaces]

The projects in your newer videos are so incredibly detailed. You can tell how much love goes into each video, and how much your crafting skills have been honed since that first soft props video! You rock Crafsman!!

[@Chef_PC]

Man, I love this return to the old style. Amazing work, my friend.

[@blooblaah9896]

Hey Crafsman! Great to see you back with a nice, slightly longer video. I used to do a lot of larp, the sort where you go camping in a costume while smacking each other with foam weapons. Anyways, seeing you make a cool squishy prop out of stuff lying around was nostalgic in a way. (Though this axe would likely fail to pass for most games, for various reasons. But it would be a great prop for a more choreographed exchange or a cosplay. And different games have different rules)

[@freemanwithoutthephd639]

That rubber bolt is my favorite video of yours, so happy to see another similar video!

[@lmao7562]

Dude. The editing is STELLAR.

[@MylesAwae]

I Love watching Easy Craftin relaxing in my gaming chair with a smooth beverage in my hand.

[@Dizzula]

Steady Craftin' Alright

[@raegun]

You're like a bayou Bob Ross. These vids are soothing and educational.

[@pbartmess]

Thank you for all the inspiring ideas and tips in this video. Seeing and hearing your "cabin in the woods" intro instantly relaxes me.

[@Arkie80]

It was fun seeing you go back to your roots CrafsMan. But anything you share with us treasure. So: Explore new ideas and perfect the old because one is silver; the other is gold.

[@BRUXXUS]

Incredible work, as always! It turned out so gooood! And the music was fantastic. Thank you so much for doing what you do. It brings me so much happiness.

[@mumbo1956]

Love the way you handled the hole in the hatchet head.

[@TheCaffeineJitterz]

I miss the craftsman talking cut scenes but the overlay is next level. Great editing as usual! But you're still bringing in new stuff. Thanks for staying creative on all fronts!

[@Gappasaurus]

6:58 The Fred’s legacy lives on 😄

[@JennsCorner777]

Omg good eye! Lol

[@Illuminautable]

I've been watching this channel's content for a good couple of years now, and I have to say: the quality and refinement I see (and hear) in your more recent videos is incredible. You're doing great, Crafsman! Keep it up!

[@lornacy]

Mixing the color into the b-side makes a whole lot of sense. This is the first time I have seen that done.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, that one's a big deal to me too - MUCH less pressure when you can dial in the color first. NOTE: There are some situations where adding the A part can slightly change the color, depending on the resin.

[@arvaniaconstructions]

This is such a great outcome and I enjoyed watching this video so much! Makes me happy everytime I can watch another of your lovingly made videos. It's inspirational, it's motivating, it's calming. I can't wait for the other videos of your list to come (like the frog and toad sculpt). Well done. :)

[@skylerdickson2939]

I was really in a rut this morning Crafsman, and your encouraging message at the end of the video sent me back on my way to continuing my project! Thank you so much.

[@garybuettner7920]

My wife and I are so impressed! Looks fantastic!

[@TheRetroTinker]

That worked so well! Great work Crafsman!

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

I was first introduced to your channel when you made the bolt video. After 5 years of watching you screw around with craftin all sorts of things it's nuts to see that bolt show up in a video again. I hope you don't mind me starting a thread about it.

[@TheGuyOutdoors1]

My memory is pretty bad, certainly need to work on it. Took me about two weeks to finally remember your channel name and im so glad to have found you again. Love your videos, your intro has improved since the last time i seen your channel. Glad to be back.

[@Reach3DPrinters]

"I wonder why I question why I wonder... oh oh weird." !!!! So good. :)

[@nickbruni8041]

Great throwback vibe from “ the Vault”

[@tucker1510]

I saw "things I like part 2" I NEED THAT things I like always relaxes me..I honestly watch it when I'm feeling anxious

[@natashanewman2296]

I love seeing you are it work with what you got. That’s how it usually goes for most of us

[@RyanMercer]

I want to see Robert Tolone do this now to see how he does it differently with those decades of experience.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Oh man, knowing Robert and having collaborated with him, I can assure you it would be TOP-NOTCH! :) His work is so clean and so professional I can't hold a candle to it - would be great to see how he'd tackle a hatchet! :D

[@RyanMercer]

@@TheCrafsMan for sure, I still love that you shared him with us. Such a great guy. His daughter has a fun baking channel too.

[@Shiftarus]

Its a great day when Crafsman uploads. Thanks making videos and sharing what you have learned!

[@reubenbaldwin6435]

Deadpool and wolverine and crafsman on the same day, what a treat 🙏🏻

[@aalihte3378]

Dear Crafsman, so glad I tuned in..its been a couple years. Dealing with complicated health stuff and thought your videos might make me sad watching things I cant do anymore (hand issues) but I am SOOOO glad to be back! I have zero need for a tv prop but I promise you, this is a WONDERFUL prop. In fact, its likely even more detailed and beautiful than whats done in Hollywood. I know scenic painting looks better on film than we do in person. Lol. But anyhow, thank you for your content. Its good to be back.

[@AgentPothead]

Glad the algorithm showed me this one. Got another subscriber. 👍

[@travisshallenberger9486]

Great build. Way better than anything you can buy at the Halloween shop, and it serves to remind us all "the limit is in your mind."

[@Haakkon]

CrafsMan your videos are such a vibe.

[@danthemakerman]

Looks awesome man! I always like these builds.

[@10000Mistakes]

You already know this, but it feels good to say it - you are just so, so, so, so good at this (video creative + props). Just pure entertainment on it's own, but also hyper educational. Thanks CrafsMan.

[@fxm5715]

I found myself singing/robot saying, "that is correct" a few days ago, and I couldn't remember what song it from. Then today, Bam! Oh, it's TheCrafsMan, of course!

[@pbkobold]

The axe turned out great! I love seeing what products/brands you use and like. I've been shopping for some epoxy and a smooth-on product is one of the options. Might go with them after seeing that you're a fan.

[@michaelcampbell1471]

Wow! So glad the algorithm found me! Awesome! Loved this and subscribed!

[@leepizarro]

I feel like Im finally learning something ! its all coming together Crafsman, thanks to you. Thank you so much ❤

[@Produkt_R]

This is the Bob Ross of prop making

[@unistrut]

That sound at 8:02 was amazing. Should record that for a sound effect for something.

[@MASI_forging]

Outstanding craftmanship 👍👍

[@slimehousetv]

Genius as always homie 🙌🪓

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Beautiful job 😂❤

[@yagomaligne]

your videos are like meditation

[@coryingman]

Another awesome video and crafting project as expected. Thanks for sharing the technique!

[@CCMinis]

Fantastic video Crafsman!

[@graphictwitch-5355]

Really diggin the music crafsman

[@debrisplease]

Crafsman, the typography in this video is immaculate as usual!

[@raass233]

Artist.

[@TheDevilockedzombie]

This video was just recommended to me, but you got a new sub my dude. Love your skill, character and all that. Keep up the great work, its very enjoyable!

[@manko8852]

Hurray the Crafsman is back!

[@nerored6235]

Wish I could be as creative as you and get paid for exploring that creativity like you.

[@socialist-strong]

Creativity can be developed! :)

[@StudioHannah]

Whoa whoa whoa, time for a Crafsman video! Don’t care that it’s past my bedtime!

[@I-LOG]

I think that rubber bolt video was the first one of yours I ever saw!

[@somewheretofit]

Beautiful end product as always. Love how you managed to capture the grain so perfectly. I'm really hoping your list is in order and there's a DIY guitar pedal coming soon - I've been tinkering with making my own lately and can't wait to see your take on it!

[@CannedWolfMeat]

a new Crafsman video might not be able to make a bad day good, but it certainly makes a good day better

[@clarewillison9379]

It has just made my bad day disappear in a smile. 😊

[@Name-ot3xw]

Its good to know that Crafsman is still out there Crafin things and keeping Fred's afloat.

[@jasoncaldwell0613]

I know craftsman walked into his house afterwards and was like “honey, think fast!” Pretending to throw the hatchet 🪓 😂

[@TheseAreShapes]

I'm at home sick with a cold. time for some soup, 7-up, and a new crafsman video to make me feel better!

[@paulcronan8923]

So happy to see your videos!

[@ErickvdK]

Listening to this man ramble, I somehow expect JJ Cale music, but I hear Kraftwerk!😂

[@MINEFROTRESS]

I too am bluntified, Love the vids Crafsman! always a good watch.

[@NotDrDre]

The music for this video is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Nono-hk3is]

2:16 "write some things down before you come out here" 🤣🤣🤣

[@clarewillison9379]

“Satisfactory”?? Sat-is-fantastic Mr C. 🎉🎉🎉

[@JeredtheShy]

The original axe handle being sorta worn and raggedy ended up making the final product a lot more convincing, that's something I'm going to keep in mind.

[@WomanRespecter87]

hell yeah i loved your video about the prop screw

[@jdubs5161]

5:40 The drums coming in, have mercy

[@jdubs5161]

Where can I find this track?

[@Teleshiva]

You are SUCH a boss! I appreciate you so much!!

[@gleamingsilhouette]

The music though!! 🔥

[@griffinwolf5704]

Great video! I haven't watched one of your videos in too long

[@CeeJayThe13th]

I think the bolt video thing was the first I watched or at least the first I really remember. It's cool seeing it come full circle after what seems like 8 years or so. It's kinda like where I saw Peter Brown revisit the gummy bear axe handle in the last year or so.

[@goronenthusiast]

This is really interesting! oh also, I would love to see that Frog and Toad diorama.

[@Scav-Goblin]

WOOOO New Crafsman Video!

[@TildaSwintonPlayingThomYorke]

Reminds me of this X-Men Wolverine Weapon X Lab Playset Toybiz Adamantium Skeleton set I had in the 90s. Cool stuff

[@motjuste8549]

I used one just like that in an actual Hollywood horror movie. I whacked a guy right in the shoulder with it multiple times. Yours looks every bit as good as that one. Fantastic! (Ours was made by K&B Effects.)

[@NepotismTV]

It came out so great (as usual). Love your work. Maybe one day I’ll be able to sneak a steadyprop into a film 😂

[@joeylandry4933]

Wonderful video Crafsman!

[@Scav-Goblin]

Omfg i cannot WAIT for the "Tonks" Video.. the Metal Slug Inspired Tank!? SIGN ME UP!!!

[@imm311]

Excellent video! God bless you and yours. Praying for you
