[@crayolahalls]

Just thinking CrafsMan is the closest thing we have now to Mr Rodgers. Supportive, positive, educational, entertaining, gentle. I want the CrafsMan to be my neighbor.

[@Alienated29]

I was thinking about that when I saw the collab video the other day. He's like the Mr. Rodgers + Bob Ross of crafts.

[@rodline9027]

Great comparison!

[@StarlahMutiny]

Please wont CrafsMan be our neighbor❤

[@the_Toby_dream_life]

And then help us all to make our own happy accidents that we then find out were just new friends waiting to be made

[@SpookyJohnathan]

The world is a better place because this channel exists.

[@stephenrenwick8781]

My Stress level went down just listening to the Crafsman

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

Same here. I've got mental and physical health issues and this channel is like a warm bath to the soul.

[@pułkownikkaczodziobyzpodlasia]

Oops, almost ruined the 69 likes with how much I agreed with this statement :p

[@radioactiveferrets]

I like to watch this channel when I've been stressed and upset and it instantly goes away as soon as he says "Hello"

[@yarachehade3231]

not sure if uve shown this before but u can weigh the piece after you cut away the flash to determine how much plastic to weigh out for the next cast so that there isnt flash the second time . Lovely way to start my morning :) thank u for the video!

[@TheCrafsMan]

OUTSTANDING IDEA!!!!! For real. Makes total sense, and is something I will use in the future! I'm about to straight PIN this comment so someone else can find it as useful as I just did. Thank you!!!!!

[@sarahbarnhill3708]

If there's still flash, you could probably stick your xacto knife into the hot water bath to heat it up a little for easier cutting too!

[@LincolnWorld]

@@sarahbarnhill3708 heat will make the plastic sticky and get stuck to the knife. It will not make it easier.

[@debrajol3585]

Sarah Barnhill hi Sarah 👋 it may not work for this but I use a HOT KNIFE for Resin work, to get the drips off of the back side of my paintings & coasters etc.. so your idea is a great idea there 👌. For anyone who wants to know.. A ‘Hot Knife’ is like the ones used for cutting thru styrofoam for shaping. Some are like a wire cheese cutter DON’T get the cheese cutter lol 💨 but if ya look around eBay or amazon there’s another kind that looks like an Exacto knife & they come with many different blades that can be used in the same knife. Total game changer for resin drips! I don’t tape off the backside of anything anymore.. a hot knife thru resin drips is like cutting thru warm BUTTER! Cheap cheap ($12) and sooo practical. It may work for this as well.. if ya used the tip of a blade and get in & out kind of quick 🤔

[@triplesevensix291]

Your vids are always so cool & your voice is always so mellow & soothing Crafty. Keep it up brother. All the best from Liverpool U.K. Thanks dude.

[@catsnotcops77]

After all this time, this is the first channel that I backed thru patreon. Mainly because crafsman speaks from the heart and truly cares about what he does. Keep up the great content!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much!

[@milehighzone149]

We calls that Authenticinacity

[@fadetoblack1026]

And that's what we appreciates about him.

[@Kazemahou]

@@milehighzone149 That is a very hard portmanteau to say out loud. But it's cool.

[@RobertMilesAI]

Yes! Love this stuff. Some points to add: - This is sold under a million names because it's not patented. The actual name of the material itself is 'polycaprolactone'. Helps with searching for it - It can really stick well to certain other plastics, especially when it's really hot. I was worried for you, feel like you kinda got lucky not to end up with a permanent blob on your castle door! - It's pretty strong, you can really build stuff with it. My favourite trick with that is, if your part needs screws or bolts, you can wrap it around them and when it cools you've got perfect threaded holes right there

[@Geospasmic]

Yep, make sure to use a mold release! I find a little vegetable oil works just fine.

[@thekrillsta]

So glad I hit that bell icon. I was having a rough morning, and the crafsman always brings a little light into my day ❤️

[@BurninGems]

RX: Watch two crafsman videos and make something in the morning. Repeat as necessary, get plenty of sleep at night to make more things the next day.

[@marksmedley4369]

Always informative and raises your spirits.

[@marksmedley4369]

Craftsman, Can you use the heat gun after heating with water if it starts getting stif before you get it in your mold?

[@TheCrafsMan]

@@marksmedley4369 Yessir! :D I've done it many times. (Just be sure you keep that heat gun away from water containers. ;) )

[@TheCrafsMan]

Sure do appreciate y'all. I'm telling you, the encouragement goes a long way!

[@sophiarose03]

The digital calipers that I ordered came in the mail today, and the first thing I thought was: “Now I’ll be able to measure the thicknicity of whatever I want!”😄

Thank You Crafsman you’ve made me smile yet again. Eric.

[@FeralFlapjack]

Gardenfork! ♡

[@cara8931]

Knowing that CrafsMan worries about me, even just parasocially as a follower, somehow makes me feel a lot better.

[@radioactiveferrets]

It made me cry hearing that because it's been a rough couple of days and it's nice to know that someone out there cares

[@candiskpo]

Truly. I agree.

[@erroroperator4959]

CrafsMan is a national treasure. He must be protected at all costs.

[@DarkRubberDucky]

This was genuinely one of the greatest crafting video I've watched. This man sounds like the sweetest guys, and his little comments here and there made me smile, while also teaching me!

[@WallHaxxx]

12:56 "Do yall know what that needs right there?" I said 'blackwash' out loud. I'm learning.

[@suhtangwong]

Didn't know these kind of things existed until yesterday, just ordered a pack, gonna give this a try!

[@Dukefazon]

I'm so happy I found your channel. You are a unique weird dude but time flies when I'm watching you do crafts.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Hey, thank you so much for giving my channel a chance! :D

[@Dukefazon]

@@TheCrafsMan I was interested in figure making and searched resin casting and that's how I found your channel. The way you talk is really captivating, demands full attention and the way you explain things while showing stuff with your hands is so satisfying and entertaining. Cheers from Hungary :)

[@CoyPowers]

oh nice. I have all the supplies for this one! Instamorph, alcohol inks, Castle Grayskull.

[@LlanoRiverBlue]

You have the POWER!

[@CHKNFRGZ]

Crafsman, once again you have inspired me to steadier craftin. I am a wargamer, and that hobby gets real expensive, real quick. I dont play competitively, only at my friendly local game store, and guys there have 3d printed minis and such. Just ordered me some InstaMorph, cant wait to be the first lad to have handmolded plastic minis! Much love from California.

[@ericsmith1508]

I have some of these thermoplastic beads. I knew I could use Sculpey with them but I had no idea I could use thermoplastic on thermoplastic! I thought the hot piece would warm the mold up enough to deform it. Now I know it's safe to do. Thank you so much Craf'sman for all that you do. I love these videos. The way you speak, and the sense of humor, the down to earth genuine presentation. You are a gift that the crafting community doesn't deserve! But we are so glad you're here!

[@s777jm]

Finding and watching you over the last few days has brought my anxiety way down. Thank you so much for this channel.

[@humblehombre9904]

Mr Crafsman, just your voice and the work you do, causes my cortisol levels to bottom right out. I mean, I could not be more relaxed and happy than watchin your videos. Thank you very much Mr Crafsman!

[@beverlyjones4020]

Teaching.....the profession that creates all others. You are the ultimate Teacher!

[@elizabethtana8862]

The injection molding was cool, but the getting started costs on this are fantastic, I think I'll be able to get a lot done with this, thank you for making this!

[@MJ-se3ng]

Something soothing about listening to & watching him go to work on his projects. Love.

[@andy-in-indy]

Yes, epoxy clay and epoxy putty can be used to cast items out of those mold. Also, that is the same plastic used in Worbla, so you can join the pieces you make to Worbla easily. There is also sheets of this material available, as well as colored beads that can be mixed it for some intense colors.

[@phxf]

some cheap toothbrushes are made from the same plastic too, so if you can’t find the official products where you’re at, get some cheap toothbrushes and try boiling them, if the plastic goes soft you can use that to experiment.

[@megkelly11]

Crafsman thank you for the love. Thank you for being an amazing teacher. Hope you and your family are staying well.

Fun story: my youngest brother (12) got some of this to make faux fangs for Halloween and went ahead and did it without supervision,, and encased his entire bottom row of teeth WITH braces and was unable to get it off. We had to go to the ER, who then sent us to the orthodontist where they had to use a diamond bit dremel to carve the plastic out.
