My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.

[@ericheckenkamp6091]

Crafsman, I am not new to modeling and crafting, and I even have a degree in art. I have been watching Gaslands crafting videos for weeks and the amount of information and ideas I get from your videos is an order of magnitude beyond what I get out of other videos. I am so impressed by the way your videos are so dense with information and instruction, and yet so entertaining that even my young kids can follow what you're doing. They probably quoted your Luke and Vader dub for about 3 weeks, which is forever in kid time!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Eric, I wanted you to know how much I value your encouraging words. "Dense with information" is what I really needed to hear. Sometimes I wrestle with whether I've put in too much or too not enough. I do try to share stuff that is beneficial and practical, and it is encouraging to get this kind of feedback. Thank you so much.

[@sirkut]

@@TheCrafsMan I agree, your videos are just FULL of useful information that no one else can compete. I've watched gasland mod videos for a little over a year now and when I saw that you started I flipped my lid. I've learned so much more from your two videos than I have had that entire year. Was I robbed? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it was to prepare me for the awesome content you bestowed upon us mere mortals. :)

[@EitriBrokkr]

@@TheCrafsMan you can't put too much info into your videos. They are amazing and getting better and better

[@lxc3909]

@@TheCrafsMan I love the "dense with information", and I think I just witnessed my first CrafsMan wardrobe change around 1:59! Inquiring minds want to know: are the dish gloves over the trademark black-latex gloves or in lieu of?!

I absolutely lost it when the mold squeaked, and crafsman couldn’t help himself making it squeak more, then does this ‘I better stop this or I’ll be squeaking this all day’ hand gesture.

I have never seriously considered donating on patreon to anyone before because I feel like so much content on the internet is just a rip off of someone else or cookie cutter content. But I started becoming a direct supporter (and if you can, I encourage everyone else to as well!) because your channel is so unique and unlike anything else! I think your content is totally different and well crafted and I would love to see you go full time with it!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much!

[@nancyjohnson5483]

So did I, first time even looking at how to support someone on youtube-luv the Crafsman and his lovely family.

[@brandonndre]

Admitting a suggestion was the better option but explaining how you used what was readily available is such an important lesson. We don’t always have the best materials or access to them. The heart of crafting has always been innovators making something out of nothing. I truly appreciate you. And the deadpan dad jokes! “Allow me to introduce you to today’s guest speaker” - people are sleeping on your comedic wit.

[@HannibalCaine]

Hey CrafsMan, I design jewelry and do the same thing you do: 3D print the object, then create a mold from it but I use Mold Star 15 (curing time 2-4 hours). This is a great for slow-curing molding material. A tip i learned a while back, especially when working with smaller , detailed parts is to use a silicone brush to apply the molding material first to the surface of the piece.. Once you've coated your piece with a generous amount of brushed on molding material, slowly pour it onto the piece, this will greatly reduce the amount of bubbles on the surface of the model; in fact, I've never had any bubbles appear on mine. This is ideal for when you don't have access to a pressure chamber. Thought I'd pass this along since you've always done an awesome job sharing your knowledge. Keep up the great work!

[@kalam999]

For the reduction of bubbles, you can use a syringe for that. Start with half the syringe volume of mold liquid, and then pull back the plunger all the way and create a vacuum and remove bubbles. It's a cost effective way, not sure if it could be helpful for your jewellery making

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

Ok so, honest confession... Sometimes I fade out watching these videos and find myself just listening to Crafsman talk through my headphones... Theres something very Bob Ross about his style that just chills me right out. Nothing better after a stressful busy day then laying on my favourite couch that is way more comfy than it looks and grabbin my phone and headphones and just decompressing with the Crafsman. Criminally underrated channel imo.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Oh man, at first I didn't know what to think of comments along these lines. "Mannn, I need to get some EXCITEMENT in my videos!", is what I would consider. But I've had so many people talk about how it helps with their anxiety and all... and now it is of so much more value to hear things like this. Thank you!

[@nancyjohnson5483]

I became a supporter of your channel because I appreciate what you do sooo much. I have three grandkids and I want them to spend time with me, watching you and making these crafts. Thanks you so much.

[@midnightfm87]

I love putting your videos on while I work and just listen to it in the background. It’s very relaxing. 😌

[@MR-de6of]

And to paraphrase what someone else said below: Thank you for going into specific details regarding your instructions, personal experiences, and recommendations. There’s more to learn here than if I directly searched “silicone molding and casting”. On top of that, the variety of materials you use.. Thanks, man.

[@jewabeus]

CrafsMan, I REALLY appreciate you showing how you clean your 3D printer. I've not seen or heard of anybody else doing that in a video. Not that they haven't, but I saw you do it 1st. That's not something I've considered. Just thanks for doing that. Have a great day & we all love you too.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Glad that was useful! Thank you for the feedback! The process was a lot easier with this soap+water situation, PLUS now I don't have to feel bad about using so much isopropyl alcohol (especially given our current circumstances). :)

[@markhills3922]

You certainly have a gift Crafsman. Imagine how much better school would of been if teachers had the knack of being able to make us smile, laugh and teach at the same time. You sir, do exactly that. Thank you for being you.

[@vndnbr7]

Die-casted cars are not my thing per se but I always watch your videos because I enjoy your voice and approach to sharing and teaching . Never stop.

hey crafsman, just wanted to hop on and tell you i appreciate your videos, i live with a bit of anxiety in my life day to day, but watching your videos always gives me a moment to calm down and learn something new, keep it up and much love from New Zealand c:

Hey Crafsman it's awesome to see how many subscribers you have now!

Using pewter in a normal silicone mold !? Crafman , you crazy ! Love you !

[@TheCrafsMan]

:D Thank you! You know I've gotta try and take it to that level sometimes. I'm surprised these molds didn't get scorched and lose detail. I believe if I woulda let the (lead-free) pewter heat up too much, it woulda happened.

[@that1honkydrew]

Crafsman! If you pour that powder over a piece of paper, you can just pick it up, fold it in half, and funnel the rest of that powder back in the bottle. Just like how you funnel the last of the chip crumbs in your mouth once you done with a bag of some chips. Anyways, I love y’all, and keep steady craftin.

MORE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE WATER-WASHABLE RESIN (Stuff I forgot to say in the video!): - The ODOR of this resin is a lot less objectionable than I'm used to. Standard Anycubic Green is the least pleasant I've experienced, with Elegoo Gray being far more tolerable. But this Elegoo Water-Washable is the most pleasant out of the bunch, to me. Still some odor there, but no headaches this time. :) - For CLEANUP alone, this will be the resin I lean towards. So much more enjoyable. I didn't have to do the multi-step clean on the FEP film to get it back clear. (Normally I'd clean, it'd go cloudy, and I'd clean again.) Just soap and water now. - As far as STRENGTH... like I mentioned in the video, all 3D prints are an inbetween step for me. Since I always prime/seal, mold and cast to get the final part, it only needed to be strong enough to withstand that. When breaking parts away from the supports, it felt about as snappy as the Elegoo gray I was used to, but I can't say which is technically the stronger resin.

[@MK_2023.]

Craftsman! I just wanted to let you know how much I love your channel and all you do! I've always dreamed about doing all the things you do on your show but could never afford to do the awesome crafts you do. But there's been a lot of times that you've been an inspiration for me and my nephew when he asked me to create something for him. Most recently he asked me to make him a detectives style badge for him to match his favorite cop on his fav cop drama. So I used a cheap little jr sheriff's deputy badge from the western store and a few layers of foam paper with superglue and then a belt clip from an old tape measure. After some steady crafting, boom detective Juice (My nephews nickname)!

[@157preilly]

CrafsMan, just found one of your videos today and loved it. I have been at my computer now for 2 hours, just watching and loving all your videos (the ones I've watched so far).

Crafsman-- thank you for bringing up about corn starch baby powder. I switched over to that over 20 years ago. I could not believe people were still buying and using the other stuff that could have asbestos in it and cause health problems (and shame on the companies that still make the old stuff). The corn starch powder works just as well. Actually just plain old corn starch works as well, just doesn't have that "baby" smell on it, which I can do without, quite frankly!
