Thought out my childhood and early adulthood I have been blessed to be influenced, taught, and been given joy by some of world's best. People we never deserved, but were still given. Carl Sagan, Bob Ross, Jim Henson, Steve Erwin, Mr Rogers, Mr Wizard.... literal giants in the world of entertainment, education, and pure joy. Crafsman... as far as I am concerned, you stand shoulder to shoulder to them. We don't deserve you, but we were still graced with your presence. We love you... and keep steady craftin'
I'm glad you are concerned with making quality figures with longevity, Crafsman. I got a pricey figure from a prominent manufacturer-first action figure I'd bought in 20 years-and right out of the box a swivel joint snapped in the hip. Snuffed that figure collecting spark right then and there. Of all the problems in the world, I'm happy to take that privileged one, but I'm glad you're not going to be doing that to folks who lay down the dough to purchase one of your figures. Right on, man.
I appreciate this so much. There's the argument that since "designer figures" are sold to people over 14 (to bypass the Consumer Product Safety certification) that they won't be played with, and strength shouldn't be that important. But even if it's never taken out of the package, I still really like the idea of a figure being as TOUGH as possible. :)
@@TheCrafsMan youve got the attitude of a true craftsman. those others are just making excuses for producing low quality product. they take no pride in their work.
It's exciting! Now when I go to the grocery store, I'm flipping over bottles and containers to see which plastic it's made of. :) And the Precious Plastic stuff is a great resource! I'm using some of their info right now to set up a simple air filtering system for my shop.
I recently reached out to LNS and they were not helpful with my questions. So I instead called up Manning Innovations, and I was surprised with how knowledgeable this very small shop was with Injection molding, and Ritchie over there walked me through EVERYTHING I could possibly imagine! For those of yall looking into what the craftmans talkin about I highly recommend them!
I've have somehow stumbled across this blessing of a channel. I'm guessing he does a character, but if this is how he actually is everyday, he is a national treasure.
By that I mean.. as much as I know about plastics from Precious Plastic, I think only Crafsman would be able to explain the properties of PET as a craft material in a way that I would understand. Maybe he'd find a clever way to work around the heat problem!
Did anybody even get the subtle joke? Crocodile Dundee "That's a knife!" ~~~ Crafsman "That's a wife!" Leads the imagination to lots of places!?! Love You Crafsman!
@@TheCrafsMan Ha~ I don't think many people got it, I thought it was really funny! I wonder how many I've missed or have gone over my head in your past videos. Love ya!
Another devoted viewer who would love a video on recycling household or other reclaimed plastics. I have been following the precious plastics folks on n off for a while, I bet you know about them already. Thank you for your wonderful videos 🧡🧡🧡
Crafsman, I worked at a plastics factory a couple of years ago, and seeing the color change moment brought the memory of doing a color swap mid-shift--we would use a so-called 'purge' mix that when loaded into the feed hoppers would push out the residual color from before, and then allow us to put the fresh mix to melt for the next product. We also routinely recycled scrap material with grinders that would make tiny chips that would then be fed back into the feed at a particular percentage, depending on the product. We would feed the machines from very large cardboard boxes with big vacuum hoses.
I understand why you're so excited CrafsMan! When I was in high school I asked my daddy for ideas on what to do for my science fair project. He was a tool & die maker and machinist so my project ended up being about extrusion molding, stamping, injection molding and lots of other "how we make all the things" stuff lol. It was hard work, and took months, but he was a patient teacher (mostly lol), and we actually got to visit manufacturers and see the processes in action! I won second prize in the state science fair and he was so impressed with my work that he taught me how to use most of the machines in the shop. Sometimes this came with a "Don't tell your mother" warning. ;) Sorry this is so long, but I wanted you to know that your videos sometimes serve as more than fun and learning. :) Thank you, CrafsMan, keep on Steady Craftin' ♥️
Hey Crafsman, I really appreciate your videos. It actually got me into starting my own etsy shop with my wife. I have been rewatching your videos and taking pointers. It also makes me really happy to see you excited about your new machine. I act the same way when it comes to 3D printers. I hope you are doing well!
Congratulations to y'all on the shop! :D This is a bigtime encouraging comment to me. THANK YOU for that! Wishing you guys the best with your business!
Crafsman is the kind of positivity i need in my life. It is like some Bob Ross or Mr Rogers just telling me i can be myself and craft what makes me happy.
This is so cool! Add me to the list of people who want to see a video about using recycled plastics! Also, is it just me, or does it seem like maybe Crafsman has his mold lateral stop (dunno the actual name... it's the hex-head bolt with the black knob on the end, used to keep the mold in place horizontally) installed backward? Seems like the black plastic knob would be intended for touching fingers, not a (potentially) hot metal mold.
You are 100% right about the mold stop. Plastic knob end should go to the outside, metal to the inside (touching the mold). It hasn't caused any issues, but it is COMPLETELY backwards. (Well, it WAS... in the video. Fixed now.) Can't believe I even set it up that way. I'm going to pin your comment for educational purposes. Thank you! :)
@@TheCrafsMan Loving your videos (I just subbed), and how you say sweet stuff about your wife at the end of each video :). I'm also an artist/toy maker, and I'm considering investing my stimulus checks into an injection mold setup since art is my living (been casting with resin since 2008)...the main thing holding me back is I am hoping to find a slightly larger machine, but mainly I want a affordable way I know will work well for creating the molds. I know you're planning on releasing a video on creating the silicone mold for inside the metal mold frame...but do you mind telling me if you're having any issues with the cast pieces being warped from the pressure of the injector? I am really eager to get one of these, and I'm trying to find out more about the possibility of doing silicone molds. Thanks for your time, and the awesome videos, you're a sweetheart! This is my Instagram if you'd like to see my art toys and sculpts in progress :) instagram.com/meadowknightcreations/ .
@@angelapileggi6031 Hello there! I really like how you're thinking. I completely understand the desire to go for a larger shot size. (If you're feeling very adventurous, you can look at the designs used by Precious Plastics and them. Fairly LARGE parts are possible with that setup.) As far as the silicone mold, I'm editing that video now and I can say that, even with Mold Star (not designed for heat), I've had repeated success. The possible down-side (and it's different for each mold - chunky vs. thin parts) is the hold-down time is extended, to keep pressure against the object while it cools. Cooling may take longer (silicone vs. metal) and melted plastic will want to come back out the top. Not a huge issue. BUT, I'm also going to mention in the video - and will tell you now - that things like Mold Max 60 (more firm, withstands over 500 degree heat) or high-heat EPOXY... probably even better! :) I appreciate your kind words, and I sincerely hope this information is helpful to you in your upcoming (ad)ventures! :D
@@TheCrafsMan Thank you so much, that's a huge help :D! I have been contacting a bunch of people left and right, and contacted Reynold's Advanced materials where I get my molding and casting supplies, and they suggested the Mold Max 60 as well! That is super encouraging that you've been having success :). Having to have a little more cool down time is not too bad of a thing, it's still gotta be way faster than the resin slinging we do. I will look into Precious Plastics too and see what they're up to, or if there's anything they have within my budget if they're selling equipment, thanks for the lead! And thanks for the friend request on FB :).
He,heh,he…”thet’s not a woyf,…ne dets a woyf!” Nice Crafsman, as usual. Your information and way of working is inspirational to me, and obviously so many others. We love y’all ( you and your family) and hope that you will always continue,….STEADY CRAFFIN’. Happy late Anniversary to you and Mrs. Crafsman.
I’m going back and watching these old videos, and I am so lucky that I found the CrafsMan. He has my sense of humor, and has great advice for everyone.
Heck yeah we want a video with recycling and types of plastic! I can do research, but a craft-centric version isn't really available from what I've seen. Also, I love your sign-offs. I still tell my sister I love the way her head is shaped.
I could listen to this guy all day, his voice is like a lullaby! Just got into 3d printing, after doing molding and casting. Really want to top it off with injection molding. After working in and injection molding factory in the past. I think I could put some of that old knowledge to new use.
Crafsman is one step closer to running a toy factory from his shed!!!❤️❤️❤️ congrats on the mold injector Crafsman!!! Can’t wait to see next week’s video! P.S. we definitely need that recycling video
@@Fractus lol probably cause it is too expensive, but you could probably get one in a chonky d20. Most people hand making dice out there spend very little on actual material, most of them even use entry level cheap resin.
Don't dice have to go through a special process to ensure even weight distribution to remove bias? That might only be casino dice, but I was under the impression all dice were
Steam-Powered Fox no. It isn’t crucial for gaming dice. Real money isn’t really won or lost with them. There are tons of dice production outfits, most of which use injection molding.
@@SteamPoweredFox That's a big fat no. Casino dice are made to insanely exacting standards, and have to be as close to perfectly fair as possible. That's why they cost so much despite being machine made. Tabletop gaming dice just have to be "close enough". Most major manufacturers even put out dice where you can find uneven faces, or very small air bubbles, fairly often.
This has got to be my new favorite channel, thank you for your enthusiasm and charisma, it really makes me happy, seeing as this is my profession and it's good to see that other people have passion like I do
I'd love to see the recycled plastic injection molding video that you mentioned might be a possibility. Thank you so much for all the knowledge, kindness and laughter that you share!
It's nice to hear a reprise of the Hundo Thou Thou song. 😀 Congrats on finally pursuing your dream of injection molding! Looking forward to seeing all the neat crafs you'll make with this mess right here.
Nice video CrafsMan! With the injection machine you will make the figures more quickly and reduce the bubbles, my father use a similar machine long ago to make dental prostetics, it was so much fun to watch! Please take care and keep stready craftin'
Yes please, I would love to see a video about working with recycled plastic! If I ever get to the point where I'm cranking out my own toys, that's my dream!
As someone that owns a manual bench top injection molding machine I'm looking forward to your next video. Machining your own metal molds is time consuming (and making metal filled epoxy molds is as well). Technology has finally reached the point where we can create 3d printed mold inserts at a relatively affordable price. ....better late than never.
I love your videos. Its like short hand for hours of research in case I ever want to do these things. You are very enjoyable to watch and learn. Thanks Crafsman!!
This looks like so much FUN !!! :) Happy Anniversary to you & Mrs. Crafsman. Can't wait to see more of that little figure. And, yes, recycling plastics would be a great topic ! :)
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I have picked up some old projects and have been reworking the ideas so I can make them. Between this yt channel and.the facebook I'm really inspired to get busy. Thanks so much, live ya
Crafsman, I have to let you know I appreciate the sound design in this video. The little background touches, the resurgence of the classic "oooooh yeah", and everything just make things more special without being overbearing. Great job, Crafsman
i saw injection molding in an instagram commercial and thought: Hey, thats interresting! going to youtube searching for it... first video showin up : CRAFSMAN!!! now that’s a win! 😃. thank you! 🙋♂️
Craftsman, I love that you are never afraid to jump into new topics and methods. This is incredibly interesting stuff can't wait to learn along with you. I would love to see a video on recycling plastics. Take care friend, keep on doing what you love and loving what you do.

Id love to see recycled plastic turned into toys!
Second!
Third!
I've added it to my list. Thank y'all! :D
Wonder if we can make a robot from a milk jug. Probably! :D
Am I the only one who forgets about my problems just by watching this guy?
Most definitely not! These videos have the same effect on myself as well.
When I found the Crafsman about a month ago, I binged all the videos. When I'm super anxious, I watch a video.
I don't understand a word he is saying,but it calms me.
Elio Vittore nope ☺️
nope, these videos are a medicine
My first craftsman video. Loved it. Love his voice, editing. Very engaging and relaxing video.
I REALLY wanna see you grind up some bottles and mould some cool figures with em.
PET is known to be hard to work with, but I'd enjoy seeing him try anyway :)
By that I mean.. as much as I know about plastics from Precious Plastic, I think only Crafsman would be able to explain the properties of PET as a craft material in a way that I would understand. Maybe he'd find a clever way to work around the heat problem!
You don't know how much joy these videos bring me. Your personality and voice are so pleasant, it makes my day every time you post a video.
Now you can design and make tiny little model kits with the parts on tiny little sprues, sign me up!
Free range chicken Gundam!
@@lukasketner It's even better: ABS Free Range Chicken Gundam!
Everytime a new video comes out: Brightness? UP. Quality? UP. Dopamine? UP. Anxiety? GONE.
How could anyone downvote this? I had a smile on my face the whole time.
Did anybody even get the subtle joke?
Crocodile Dundee "That's a knife!" ~~~ Crafsman "That's a wife!" Leads the imagination to lots of places!?!
Love You Crafsman!
Took me a minute on that one. Then I remember, "No, THAT'S a knife."
I was hoping somebody would get it.
Probably not my best joke so far, but I said there's GOTTA be another Crocodile Dundee fan out there. :)

Man. Crafsman is so talented I wish I could make figures like he can. And his creativity is never ending. Crafsman keep it up 👍
This is very cool. Reminds me of the injection molding machine we had in 7th grade! Except no digital read out on there.
Thanks! I'm a bronze guy that had been wanting to eventually branch out into some toys. This is awesome!
As a Brit, I could listen to this voice forever.. reminds me of tree trunks from Adventure Time.
You know what..? Pen Ward is a friend of Crafsman... what if TT is inspired by him? :O
This is magical! I'm so happy for you! I know you've been wanting one of these for a while!
I lost this channel a couple of months ago and I am so excited to have found it again :)

Polyhedral dice, Crafsman! Dungeons and Dragons game dice! That’s where it’s at! Get you a mold made and go to town!
