Ah, I missed the first batch! My fault, I get busy in summer. I bookmarked the page to keep an eye out for restocks, though!

I can tell craftsman is just so proud of what he's accomplished here. He's watching his dreams become reality. We're proud and excited with you craftsman!!!

[@christhomas3035]

Been here since 3000 subs. It’s been an incredible journey, crafsman simply does not miss

[@StudsonStudio]

Congrats, Crafsman! This was a mighty undertaking and I'm excited for the mission these 500 little guys are about to go on. Godspeed, Pocketnauts! P.S. Keep an eye on shop baby

[@jonnysz03]

No shop baby... please... nightmare fuel...

[@chrisrumore]

One thing I REALLY like about this is how totally unique and not-at-all connected to anything the character is. It's just a randomly adorable Astronaut with interchangable faces. Can't wait for mine to arrive so I can just admire him. I may put one in a fishtank with a lazy bubbler behind him. Bravo, Crafsman!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much! :D And hey, I wanted to mention - if you'd like an extra Pocketnaut for the fishtank, so you can keep your other one on land, email: [e-mail] with the subject/message: "EXTRA POCKETNAUT FOR FISHTANK". We'll include an extra "b-grade" Pocketnaut. ;)

You know. Not only do you have a fascinating interest in crafting but you also have a very strong film-makers taste in creative presentation to your videos too. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@TheCrafsMan]

I sincerely appreciate that right there. Very encouraging. Thank you!

[@Dukefazon]

Seriously, sometimes a 5 minute video can be a slog if it's boring. But this 16 minutes just flew by like it never happened! I had a smile on my face when you made your first press and the figure you drew up a couple of years ago (maybe not even that long ago) is now a reality, it's a dream come true. I'm happy for you, Crafsman!

[@CharacterDesignForge]

WE'RE TOY MANUFACTURERS NOW! So exciting! Just placed my order for the second one down and third from the left at 13:28 ;)

[@Chef_PC]

I am so proud of you, Crafsman, for reaching one of your own personal milestones. This was a long time coming and I know you were wanting to do this from the very beginning. Beautiful work, my friend.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you for the heartening words. I'm grateful for your assistance+support and friendship. Truly. The Pocketnaut release feels surreal. ( Honestly did *not* want to sell out like that, but grateful that we're well past halfway back to that # already. ) Sure appreciate you, my friend!

[@Boylei]

Pocketnaut has touched down in my studio and is the best toy I've played with in years.

[@SirGnomes]

everytime i watch your videos i get motivation to go do something, after watching this video i made a mold of a dinosaur toy and a space ship

[@corteltube]

I start my morning with my coffee and the Craftsman…love monster clay. It’s the best. Thanks for the fun informed videos. ☺️

STOKED for you! And for me, because I’ll be delighted to have mine on my desk and click his little faces in and out when I’m bored 😁 Sooooooo cool how things worked out with JohnSL and LNS! What a blessing!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

This is satisfaction on a stick! Oh man, just seeing all of those bad boys packaged up and ready to go makes me giddy for ya! So simple, and yet so high-tech and complex at the same time. Rock on brotherman, this is incredible. : )

Giddy? Pffft, amateur, it made me want to buy one even though I"m on day 85 of unemployed life haha

Your DIY injection molding videos are what led me to your channel in the first place. I love all your videos, but it's great to see a new injection molding video. You very much deserve that new injection machine!

[@conker13245]

I’ve had very similar dreams to the ones you express from the jump basically but have spent the last decade and a half struggling with and against myself. I started watching your channel round November/December and the fog started to clear and while I’m far from funk free, the content you share has had a huge impact on me earnestly restarting my journey to keep the dream alive and regardless of the outcome you have my eternal gratitude and I hope one day I can pay it back or pay it forward. Thank you crafsman -Nick surplus

[@johnmccarrick3123]

Wow this is so cool! It really blows my mind how technology, especially the internet, has democratized so many fields so that hobbyists can try their hand in their own home. I'd have never thought I'd see somebody create a scratch built injection mold system to make custom toys, I hope you sell many! Might have to buy one myself sometime.

Crafsman, I reallllly think you would love being a part of the EDC community!! (Every Day Carry). There are SO many makers of what a lot of us call “pocket art.” Like worry stones, fidgets, figured, etc! Even just to check it out, there’s some amazing art out there and I think it kind of fits the “pocket figures” you talk about!

I’m getting over surgery and your little video here made me feel so much better. Keep up the awesome work because you’re pretty special. ❤

The cool plastic toys at the beginning brought some great nostalgia back for me, I had the robot guys and the space men. Sometimes monopose is great because it makes your imagination fill in the rest of the story. Super excited about your new figures, and love following the process.

I had so much anticipation to seeing those faces SNAP into the body... and tell you what... it did NOT disappoint. CONGRATS! Looks amazing. I can't wait to get mine.

your eye for aesthetic is phenomenal

[@sceneryj]

Not only do I get to enjoy watching craftsman work, but I also get to learn about manufacturing processes. Good thing, since I have a Production Engineering exam coming up. Perhaps, one day, the craftsman could do a video comparing various processes across shaping/forming/separating/joining.

Almost all of the song is just sad coincidence and absurdly improbable. That is the most ironic thing about song is that it is almost completely lacking in irony other than in name. Still a good song. Edit: Soundgarden did "Spoonman" and that would have also been apt.

It can be so complicated to troubleshoot when there are errors in the final project! FORGET the original schematics 😵‍💫. You're doing the work of what is usually broken up between a team of people who specialize in each thing! I do love that you reached out to others when you knew your personal capacity was met.
