CRAFSMAN, YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT WRITING A BOOK. YOU NEVER FAIL TO IMPRESS. I COULDN'T TELL THE NEW FROM THE ORIGINAL, AND THE THE "PLAYED WITH" EFFECTS. YOU'RE VERY SKILLED!

[@EddVCR]

CrafsMan, I wanna give you a big sincere thanks. I’m a graphic designer who’s recovering from bad clinical depression, and my last job with its extremely unpredictable deadlines and chaotic, extreme workload made my body develop stress responses (like heart palpitations and shortness of breath) to my work table and tools of the trade. Your videos are not only very helpful and informative, but you’re helping me rediscover why I chose my job - the joy of creating and having a lot of fun! Your videos are so much fun to watch with your irresistible charm and quirks. Thank you, CrafsMan, for reminding me about the most important factor of the creative process. Not perfectionism, not pleasing a panel of directors and merchants - but fun and joy.

[@m.maclellan7147]

Hey, hope you get better, soon ! Depression is tough. Take 2 Crafsman videos a day ! ♡♡

[@EddVCR]

Thank you so much, Margaret! I’ll follow your great advice! ;)

[@yankeespanky6570]

Crafsman is therapy for me. I have extremely bad panic attacks I pass out from and I don’t know why but the wholesomeness of the videos and his voice calm me down. He’s always so positive.

[@QTRBlackGarrett]

[@raoatv]

I’d be extremely interested in seeing another part to this action figure series on making a more articulated figure like the 3.5” Gi-Joe. How to do the rivets, legs with the o ring, etc.

[@dgray7537]

Love the randomness with knowingness.

[@PORCELAINGRL]

Your videos are the embodiment of joy and peace

[@keeganmet257]

Oh my goodness!! The only thing I like more than your calming personality is your puppet's outfit! NOW HE HAS A PIRATE HAT!! I LOVE IT CRAFSMAN!!

All of these videos have gotten me through the roughest winter of my entire life. Things aren't really any better yet, but Crafsman has been a constant source of motivation for me to keep going. Thank you, Crafsman.

[@TheCrafsMan]

That is really nice of you to say! :D Thanks so much!

[@delusionalskits8505]

Crafsman idk why you talk soft and quiet but please never change, you’re videos are just fun and relaxing and I love it

[@Wulv]

Thank you for the super informative part of how to solve the Rubix cube! I’m now a pro at it from the tips you’ve shown

[@stevej6991]

I love this guy!! Great vid!! Your work is of such a high standard:) In case you did not know (I worked in a polyurethane casting company for a while), the material changes its properties over time. You may see it getting stronger or harder or less flexible after only a few weeks. So if you are inclined to experiment, revisit your work after a month or two to check you are still happy with the result. This also explains why a fresh pour will not perfectly replicate the behaviour of a forty year old piece (although I was very impressed that you managed to do it). A further experiment might be to try out UV inhibitors, to regulate the flexibility and strength which is affected by UV, and which will maintain the colour, which often yellows. One final tip, you can machine polyurethane but it prefers to be cut rather than abraded (i.e. a blade rather than sanding), as the abrasion builds up heat and turns the PU into spider webs!

[@Robonauta]

Crafsman is possibly the best ASMR content on KZbin, it's so relaxing to listen to him explaining things. To me, one of the more important things was seeing that PU resin takes acrylic paint quite well, so it might be worth experimenting on for my projects.

[@_sch_eme_]

I feel truly relaxed and throughly informed about different resins and their different textures! Thank you Mr. Crafsman! You are the best! I love everything you do!

[@2twh53]

1st yess, I'm use to working on heavy industrial machines, but I've been slowly collecting tools and products using your links to get into making smaller things out of different materials, Thanks Crafsman for introducing me into this hobby! Love your videos

[@casey197930]

You make the world a brighter place Mr Crafsman

[@thndrlngs]

Man, I'm just sayin'... I loved that harmonics interlude brought to us by today's sponsor. Thank you for another great video CrafsMan, I love you too.

[@janhurst544]

I'm absolutely in love with the puppet!! Something about his different sized eyes appeals to me. He is too cute! And your voice is amazing!!!

[@WoodMagnet2]

some action figures of Crafsman would be so neat!

[@drwhoscumrag]

That's not a puppet.... That's the crafsman!

[@esalenchik]

There are no puppets in this video... you may be referring to the Crafsman

[@blueninja115]

Everytime I watch the crafsman, I always wanna do some crafs, man

I like that you go into such helpful detail while OTHER bootleg creators act all jerky and rude for merely ATTEMPTING to ask them specifics.

[@carlosmunoz8404]

I was feeling stressed out this morning, but then i watched this video and now I feel better. Thank you, Crafsman for always steadycraftin.

Awesome video Crafsman!!! You inspire so many of us!!! Keep up the great content brother!!! 👊😬👍

[@jelee5240]

Twenty minutes and fifty-one seconds of pure joy!

[@peaoat3608]

The thumbs down can be accidental. On the phone sometimes the thumbs down button pops up right under I want to click on something else and then I go "wait, wait! Unclick, unclick!" That's in case you wondered why they are thumbs down. The truth is: everybody loves Crafsman!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much for your kindness, my friens with the cool name! :D

[@ajnormandgroome]

Thank you for mentioning safety of children's toys. It is very important, especially for young children

[@loretocarrillo4107]

Crafsman man you should make a bunch of MC hammer head hunter the Bounty. I would definitely buy one to keep in my shop. Your videos are so enjoyable and you can really see the love you have for crafting.

[@RandomizationShow]

Oh snap Crafman! Looks like that marvel minimate project with my little siblings is able to feature every superhero they can dream of now! the lego vid was amazing enough and now this? at this point you've earned yourself a spot in "special thanks" during the credits! Thank you for the relaxing vibes and amazing tutorials as usual :)

[@SoManyTopics]

Nice video, I was among the people asking for some resin comparison videos due to my respect for your knowledge, experience, and honesty. Thank you.

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

You humor is one of my favorite things ever. I hope you do a face reveal someday!!

[@CoyPowers]

This is one of the most useful videos I've seen! I'm working on me a sheep figure, and i want her to not break. I was trying to be stubborn and sculpt her entirely by hand, but I think I might give up and boot-leg her some from a She-Ra figure. So I'm gonna be using a lot of your videos.

[@djspeed85]

You down with CPC? Yeah, you know me! Hahahaha old skool rap reference, I love it!!! And I along with everybody else here would think it would be an honor to know you!

[@Jay-vl4le]

Dang it crafsman I got so excited when you said my sponsor. You deserve a company you believe in to sponsor your videos.

[@FayeVert]

The Crafsman values his creative independence from sponsors. The man's got integrity.

[@jthom0027]

This is one of the best ASMR channels on KZbin.

this might be some of the best content on the entire internet.

Holy s*** dude I love it! You need your own TV show like on primetime this is the best

[@ianthomas3653]

Crafsman speaking my language. I work with epoxy every day. I do all of the Q.C. and product development for our company. The one thing i have learned during product development is this: In the world of chemistry if you want something you need to give something up. It seems to always be a science of compromise. You went about testing this in a great way. If you ever have questions or trouble feel free to contact me.

[@rawgreed666]

I really love your channel I had a lot of the action figures when I was a little one I would take them apart and mix and match to make my own And have you a great voice ever thought about narrating children's books lol Keep up the great work my friend

[@nigeq]

it was very generous of that harmonica to sponsor this video, I like him.

[@jettrooper501st]

I’d buy your action figures if they where on Etsy. Even if I had to paint them myself. I shouldn’t say what, but things like your bootleg hammer head, and your little guy with the helmet, heck a simple Boba Fett would be really cool.

[@rodline9027]

That was great. A ton of very useful information. ---- you need to make an action figure of the CrafsMan puppet---please!!
