Lol. The way he talks is sooooo nice. It makes me so relaxed. It's part of what has me hooked. But with every video I am just amazed at his eye, skill, and he doesn't do anything if it's not done extremely well!!!
"I don't know if you can feel that" This video is just packed back to front with one-liners! That's always one of my favorite parts of my weekly therapy sessions with Dr. Crafsman, but this sunday's video seems to be jam-packed full!
I ordered my t-shirt off of ETSY and as a bonus, a little orange bendy robot and a little blue rigid robot jumped out to say HOWDY! The orange powder definitely did the trick. It looks even better in person! Thank you.
Crafsman, you may want to mount the motor for your fume extractor up on the wall next to the filter, that way it won't be quite so noisy, and that way you could run the hose down to wherever you might have some fumes need extractication in a more temporary situation, it would not be as heavy or as cumbersome as moving the motor if you needed to use that space for non-fume type activities
Not only that, but this keeps the positive pressure side up near the filter, whereas the back-pressure in the hose means any holes, etc can let the fumes out before it hits the filter. This is how we do with laser cutters and their fume extraction.
I have that same Getting Started with Electronics book. Classic. Sorting perler beads is kind of a zen activity for me. The mixed color bags are usually cheaper but probably not so much that it offsets the time it takes to sort, unless you enjoy the activity. But I really like that bright orange pink color. It doesn't even have a name that I know of, but it might be my favorite color.
Crafsman!! We love you, and we love what you do! We wanted to talk about a tip for pigment mixing but first, your skin is always so amazingly fuzzy and radiant - what's your regimen? Ok serious business... what you might want to try is what we're experimenting with, and that's to get you or build you a low cost 3D printing filament extruder. That way, once you powder coat your Cheetos, you can run them through the patented De-Cheeto-Grafier, and then snip that filament into new pellets to run through again until your color is mixed all the way through. Some extruders even come with pre snippy snipers to snip the filament into pellet, but we don't know how fancy you want to get. Much love, and keep Crafs'n!
@@TheCrafsMan Thank you! Another fun casting trick is to powder coat the molds with color pigments, or glow in the dark, or glitters for spot color or transition effects with a brush before you cast. Not every pigment is stickified enough to stickify, but some of the more expensive make ups like Inglot eyeshadow powder stick really well. We have to test it out on injection when our new injectifier arrives. A neat thing about that is casting a slush cast against the mold and dremmeling it out into a paint mask to brush in some pigment from behind... so you can do stenciled coloring inside the mold to color parts of the cast which will get encapsulated and never rub off. Did you ever get your mold flash minimized with the silicone molds?
Your videos just make me smile. No matter what the topic, I find myself thoroughly entranced. You've inspired me to start my own channel. Hopefully, I can spread as much joy as you do.
I could listen to you talk all day! I don't even do this kind of craft. I do practically everything else in the way of crafts, but I still listen to your videos and I still learn something Every time! I need one of your exhaust set ups, I just didn't know I needed it.😊❤
I know you feel like these injection mold videos aren't something everyone can do, but I wanted you to know that I still find them extremely satisfying to watch. So if you still want to I'd love to see more. I like how you can use older pieces to get different combinations of parts and colors. I love it! P.s. Megaman is like my favorite character, and when he gets other robots abilities he gets a pallet swap. So one mold could create many established types and still be cannon. Every body has got a favorite and I think it would be the perfect project/video. Just thought you might enjoy the idea.
I love you CrafsMan. You are just the best kind of people ever. I'm so glad that you are you, I'm so glad you keep on keepin on. Thank you for being a light in a world of darkness! You are appreciated, and loved.
That space pearler plastic robot is my favorite too. The galaxy colors and style are so cool and relaxing. I have it as my background for my phone. It makes me just start daydreaming about floating through space on a journey somewhere unknown.
crafsman the production value and creativity of your videos continues to astonish and inspire me! when you were molding plastic toys in the beginning it reminded me of those little rubber insect molds you could pour acrylic into that came in a kit. real popular in the late 90s early 00s. just an example of the feelings of nostalgia and comfortability you cultivate.
You are an inspiration to me crafman. I have just been made redundant and I am going to start making and selling online. I stumbled on your channel by accident but your videos are now my favourite to watch. You are getting me through this man. When I get my shop up and running I'll send you a code to order a set. I won't say what it is yet but your videos have given me a bit of needed guidance. Keep doin what you doin crafman, I love ya.
I'm excited about the Agua news! I hope to nab one when they come out, it'd be awesome to own one of those adorable little critters. Also, I've been really enjoying these injection molding videos you've been doing: it's clear you're enjoying making stuff and experimenting with this type of figure production, it's very cool.
Hey Crafsman! Just found your videos recently and have already watched almost all of them. Love your content and the hard work you put into them. Thank you for helping us learn about your passion!
I laughed at the "beauty is in the eye of the.... Thing you looking at..." 😂 But they're was a missed opportunity to say "beauty is in the eye of the bead holder" 😅
This was a fun video to watch CrafsMan! I of course had to help myself by helping you offload a few of those maker bots by ordering a shirt from your Etsy store. I can't wait to see what your next video will show us!
Awesome! im so glad you've gotten into the metal molds instead of all the silicon madness. The silicon does let you do some fun creative things quickly, but those metal molds are unbeatable in quality
Hello Crafsman, so happy you found Precious Plastic, I was going to suggest you look at them. I was considering buying the plastic injection machine you have, but I think I'll try to build the Precious Plastic model first. Although I need to sort out ventilation before anything like that. Thanks for making great videos. I love your style and your breadth of experience is staggering.
You're amazing crafsman!! I am starting to make my first "designer toys"... something i've been wanting to do for a while now! I'm starting with epoxy resin, i hope i can become as creative as you
My order is in Crafsman! The new shirts and stickers look great. I wish I could have gotten a free range chicken or mail snail but I wasn’t fast enough to the Etsy page. Thanks for all of your wisdom.
I don't know what I love more, watching your videos or knowing that you seem to be having a blast making videos. Either way it's my favourite day of the week. Keep steady Craft'n my friend. Much love from Canada Crafs family.
I bet it tickles Crafsmomma pink that Crafsman is finally getting to follow some of his lifelong passions. I think like most of the rest of us, Crafsman probably spent most of his adult life working to take care of his family, so it's awesome watching him get to fulfill some of those dreams from when he was younger in real time!
OOOweee! I'm heading to your shop right now! I know my baby girl would love one of those in pink, and I have my eye on a pearly one. I don't care what color. Just pearly looking is good for me. I cannot wait to see what you have in your shop. Every time I go, it's always been the 3D model for the Aqua figure. I missed out on the spoon rings as well as the resin with wood pieces. I hope I can catch something before it's too late. Love to you and Crafsfamily. Many blessings and prayers to you all...alright.
Glad to hear it! :D I like to just sorta slip in extra items like that and see if anyone else is familiar. Very neat to know of other Forrest Mims fans. :D
Dear Mr. Crafsman, We love you! I know you are very very very busy crafsin and all, I was wondering..hmmm what will make my wifey giggle for her bday. I was like, well see if I can get the Mr. Crafsman to shout out a Happy b'day to the wifey. I understand that if you can't due to the crafs don't make themselves. Love your work!!
I have the book you were working over @ 8:22 "Getting starting with electronic" or at least I used to have it, I think it was sold by Radio Shack years ago. I love your videos, Thanks
Thanks for these informative, artistic, entertaining, and engaging videos! I was happy to hear the Precious Plastic mention; they're doing amazing things.
Oooh never thought of that air filtering system. I do a lot of nail polishing and am dabbling in making my own polish. Was wondering if when I move to a new house if I would need a vent to outside. Thanks!
Crafsman! You are a light in a world that is so often too dark these days. Thank you for your kindness and your creativity. What is going to be the best way to be alerted when you put Agua/Free Range Chicken/etc. figures on sale on the Etsy store? I do not have a 3D printer and do not plan to acquire one anytime soon, but I would love to have any or all of those dudes, so I don't want to miss any upcoming production runs! Thank you, and keep steady craftin!
Crafsman if I could afford all that fancy equipment, I’d be makin’ fishin’ lures, both soft and rigid. You ever think about makin’ a “soft plastic” lure like a worm?
If that stuff interests you consider "Marling Baits" his channel has recently expanded to include soft lures and he's experimenting with all sorts of techniques as a complete beginner.
I really like how you are blending the colors from different robots to make multi-colored ones. The robot is called Makey and comes from Make Magazine. I suggest everyone check out their website. Has a lot of information and tutorials for people who want to learn new skills, like 3D printers, electronics, robots, woodworking, plastic molding and so much more.
Crafsman I'm loving thes injection molding videos. Your videos are already inspirational but these latest injection molding ones are next level supra-inspirationalizing my soul. :{
I would be very interested in seeing you experiment with recycling bottles etc in the injection molder. I understand much of the challenge is in breaking down the material into pieces that will go in the hopper?
Something that might be useful - Those beads can be had by the jar, for next to nothing, at many second-hand "thrift" stores. They end up there from beading collections of kids who stop doing it, estate sales, etc. My wife bought two big flower vases full of assorted beads for a couple of bucks each. The downside is is it indeed a random assortment of whatsits, so there will be a lot of time spent sorting. But, if that's your thing while the tv is on or whatever, it is a cheap option.
You could combine your flexable and non flexable plastics to make a rubber jointed makerbot. Make sure to carve a channel around the mating parts to allow the rubber to form a mechanical lock around the individual parts. Just like in an over mould.
I wonder what mica powders would do? @TheCrafsMan you know you love that mica shift! It gives so much depth to resin. Or what about color powdering the mold before injection? I'm guessing it might make a hombre blend. Example "paint" the powder orange color on the head & sholders & use a florsent green plastic to inject.
Hey there! This is one I also want to try! I feel like it SHOULD work. The main difference between it and resin is that the plastic is more solid and might possibly smudge things around. OR it might work just fine. But it's definitely been on my mind to try it. :D
@@TheCrafsMan I think the mica powder might work best the way you colored the clear orange. Please post pictures on instagram, I follow you & the steadycraftin hashtag. Jeremy's production videos were incredible & it was fun to watch the process. Hopefully the mica powder works because Aqua would look so cool with that natrual shift like real water has! L❤ve you & your videos keep on steadycraftin! I hope Laura missed your family, praying for all in her path!
Hello, you are so passionate and knowledgeable about this crafsmanship domain. I tried to find an answer with regard to a very intricat procedure of creating chasing patterns, but found no answer. Nobody questioned knew anything. How did they do the chasing pattern in vintage pens such as `Waterman 52`, Conklin etc.? Thanks!
Great idea the fuse beads for coloring the robots! I like a lot the final result I wonder what would be the result if you try to make some "bee" or "rainbow" color patterns by arranging the beads by color layers in your machine. It would be great to see you (and hear you ;) ) test that on video.

I would love to see you make figures out of milk cartons, laundry jugs, home depot buckets and the like (all HDPE)
I definitely saw the squishnicity of those translucent pellets. Thank you for the insights my friend!
This channel brings light to a dark world. I love it. Love you Crafsman
Always a great way to spend my Sunday!
Great video again. You really are one of the best crafting UA-cam channels 😊
I appreciate so much your kindness, Chris. :)
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin I speak the truth that’s all 👍😊
Great way to start the day... SteadyCraftin, oh yeah!
Bless you Crafsman for making my day bright.
Crafsman selection of crafting tools is off the chain
Crafsman is so chill
Sunday morning, a cup of coffee, and the CrafsMan......time to fire up my forge and do some "craftin" myself.
Great video as always.
This was so nice, thank you CrafsMan! I loved those mixed bead colors
Beauty is in the eye of the...bead holder....🤣💯
The man could have been a stand-up comedian in another life for sure. His sense of humor and timing are unmatched. That's why we love him though!

Wish i knew the song
Luv ya CrafsMan Tyrol always sharing and being so generous 👍🏼💕💜
Everything about this video is genius. I love that experimentation with the mixing, and the venting fan filter idea.

EXCITEMENT!
Sooooo happy! I've really wanted a Crafsman crafted agua!
Thanks for these informative, artistic, entertaining, and engaging videos! I was happy to hear the Precious Plastic mention; they're doing amazing things.
Love buying wholesale bulk if I can forsee the need. This idea was great, Now I can help my kids use up the perler beads they have tired of.
It's nice to know that those little beads have other uses other than their original purpose.
cool robots man i realy like the orange ones
Oooh never thought of that air filtering system. I do a lot of nail polishing and am dabbling in making my own polish. Was wondering if when I move to a new house if I would need a vent to outside. Thanks!
I see perler beads at thrift stores a lot.
Shop Log! And a Radio Shack circuit book too. I think I still have that one.
It would be awesome if crafsman made a new song,maybe about injection molding or fume extraction

Kendall Emory thanks I subscribe to Marling Baits already
I was reading up on 3d printed injection molds using high temperature resins, i would love to see that!

I wonder what would be the result if you try to make some "bee" or "rainbow" color patterns by arranging the beads by color layers in your machine.
It would be great to see you (and hear you ;) ) test that on video.
Love the galaxy robots!!
Crafsman you always got me laughing. Great stuff always!
