My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
I was in a home depot looking for mold-making supplies, and when employees couldn't help an gentleman nearby was able to point me in the right direction. 15 min later he hunts me down halfway across the store to tell me to check out this channel. Thank you for this wealth of knowledge Crafsman and home depot guy!
Something I never knew I wanted - folk songs about crashed UFOs
Same feeling here, definitely not my style of music but I vibe with this
Its so unexpected. But I missed the actual steady craftin' because I wanted to listen to the story.
It’s such a great song! I can’t stop listening to it.
Same!
It made me pretty emotional haha
"an indecisive star" would be a great title for a kids book.
Great project and and appropriate musical accompaniment, everything about this put a smile on my face. 😄
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!
Crafsman videos. I love you man. You’ve been keeping me crafting and sane during hard times. I’ve started my own business making some toy parts. Thank you for keeping me here and have some purpose. Hope you, your family and everyone else are “allllright”.
Respect you for the taking the leap starting your own business hope you prosper and stay up !
Bigtime proud of you for that! I feel it is vital to have purpose. And to have a purpose that you are enthusiastic about is priceless. I wish you the very best!
I'm with you brother, I hope your holding up :)
This is not a tutorial, this is visual poetry!
When the music started I thought: This seems out of place, when I heard 1947 I knew ...... Roswell Incident .... great song! awesome project! 👍👊
Beautiful montage footage!
You watch the CRAFSMAN too?
So many different perspectives, some people truly have the power to restore my faith in humanity ^_^
I’m convinced Crafsman is a sorcerer, the way he magically does these things!
He's got big time Bob Ross energy
A flying sorcerer?
I can only say I discovered your channel a week ago and have been binge watching everything you have. You have become hands down my favorite. The genius and subtle humor in these videos is legend mode.
"Usain in the membrane." Now that made me crack up. 😂
scrolled down just to make sure that line was getting comment love
@@mistertrev same haha
That fade at 1:43 was SO GOOD, I had to rewind to watch it 4 times!😮
My 4 year old grandson bought me that same UFO for my Christmas present and I made the biggest deal over it and even put it on my tree to display it. I currently have it beside my buck rogers starfighter on the bookshelf. I enjoyed your video crafsman 👍 Btw, we share some of the same words. Toof is one of them. My wife has always raised her eyebrows (lovingly) at my vocabulary. Another word I say is sureal (cereal). My mother was my main speech coach and her people came from South Carolina originally.
The second I wake up, youtube is trying to relax me back to sleep again
Hehehe, I’ve just woke up from an afternoon nap and felt that that 2 😂
Same
Crafsman, the song you chose today was gorgeous. Nostalgic and apropos. This might be one of my favorite videos yet. Lovely.
10:18 That fade! Perfect.
I am dumbfounded.
On UA-cam there are content creators who teach how to do crafts. And then there's SteadyCrafting on another level.
This is one of my favorite videos now. I've never heard that song before, and it was perfect as you created something that looked absolutely real from a child's toy. I can imagine the confusion and frustration of the people that witnessed this episode first hand when the government came in to cover it all up. Magical song, magical craftin, I wish I was related to you Crafsman. I would look forward to every holiday just to visit with you and talk about everything under the sun.
When you said, "indecisive star" I nearly choked on my sweet tea! You got to warn a person before you say things like that.😊
You are an artist, a chemist, an inventor and a philosopher at the very least...I absolutely love listening to your gentle voice.😊🐝
"An indecisive star" 🤣🤣🤣
Wasn't that the ISS?
@@tentative_flora2690 Couldn't have been. Looking at the 2 other normal stars, we know the camera is for the most part still.
So then knowing that, we see the light moves extremely fast. Maybe it's some sort of plane? Well anyways the light rapidly changes its directory, infact going completely backwards extremely fast.
If this was any object: the iss, star, plane, rocket, whatever, this is impossible. Nothing like that is able to decelerate and accelerate so fast.
So I think the footage was somehow faked.
Oh! another possiblity is that it's simply some glowing bug. Evidence for this is that the light is quite round and doesn't look distorted like the other 2 real stars. And it's typical bug behaviour to move weirdly.
@@cate01a the experience of seeing one of these will change the way you think about everything. Yep, I have seen one of those, but closer and in a clearer day...
@@carikuna is "these" a ufo?
If so, there's so much logic against ufos. For starters, they're probably literally impossible because they break the laws of physics with the rapid speed they go at,
A civilisation that discovered the ability to search for and go to different planets which would be an uncomprehensibly large amount of universes away probably wouldn't be interested in us lame humans
If said civilisation did visit humans, why? It'd only make sense for them to raid Earth for the resources. Yet they don't do that, but instead only observe. Which they could do from their home place.
And also the fact that all ufo encounters are easily disproven when you learn about some of the context, or discover some weird physics phenomenon.
But hey if you can truly prove what you saw was extra terrestrial, I'm all ears.
@@carikuna Also how has your encounter changed your view on the world?
Great story about multiple thin coats , crafsman !
Hey, Crafsman. That steel wool in vinegar thing you did is actually called vinegaroon (a very silly name!). When you apply it to veg-tan leather, it will turn it black. A cool trick! Just be sure to add a little baking soda water afterward to neutralize the acidic vinegar.
Yeah! I've used it on wood too! :D
Wait, it's called "vinegaroon"? Like the animal (whip scorpions)?
@@Hermititis never heard of the scorpion thing, but yeah, it's called that.
@@Hermititis I came to comment that. Haha must be named after them
@@Crybaby-Media , I live vinegaroons! They're sool cool looking, and (unlike true scorpions, which also look cool) are non-venomous and harmless to people and pets.
I never thought I'd hear a folk song about the Roswell incident. I didn't think it would fit the genre, but here it is. Thank you, Crafsman, for introducing me to it.
That shot at 9:59.... it's perfect in every possible way. That part of the music, framing, subject. I could (and have) watched this video like 10 times and still gives me such a strong feeling.
I love it.
I agree. And the music Crafsman paired with this video is astonishingly perfect. I finished watching this video, went straight to Spotify, and I've been listening to that song on repeat. 💜
I always get happy feelings when watching a Crafsman video but this one was something else, the music was just *chef's kiss*
Those 7 people who gave this video a dislike must not have enough fiber in their day.
It's bittersweet being caught up on Crafsman videos. I watched from the first video to now over the past 2 weeks. What a wonderful journey. Really helped me with my anxiety. I absolutely love this channel.
I especially loved the part where you took a moment to enjoy the beauty of the serendipitous placement of the disassembled toy parts and the color arrangement. You truly are an artist!
Wow! My wife and I have been watching all year now. You are fantastic at everything you do! I am so glad we found you on UA-cam. You have made this horrible Covid year so great for us. We keep our sanity watching you and being inspired by you and your work!
I'm firmly convinced the world needs you right now, my friend Mr. Crafsman! You never let me down!
Everyone, we all need to go over to Ms Suzanne McDermott's channel and leave a like for the Roswell video!
Thank you Crafsman for this wonderful video. I'm old now and your work transports me back to my youth and a more simple time in my life. The UFO weathering was awesome, the ufo video was awesome (and freaky) and the song the Rowell incedent was also awesome! Suzanne McDermott has the voice of an angel.
When I saw the thumbnail, before reading, I thought “man that looked cooler before it was ‘restored’ “
Then I saw you made it look metal and weathered. Well done! Keep on steady craftin’. Love your channel!
Same here! I thought it was metallic and THEN he painted it green, I was thinking “AWW HE RUINED IT!!!” Lol
An indecisive star! I see them frequently up in the mountains, real dark with no light pollution. I always called the ones I saw “swimming stars” They sometimes pretend to be satellites by moving in a straight line, but then once you notice them they start moving in a wiggly free flowing way. I always try to wish them a warm hello and they usually glow brighter before going on their way!
I've seen them to...both up close and far away like that.
I don't understand, but I wish to.
@@rosemali3022 That’s all it takes. Many people are afraid of the unknown, but embracing it with curiosity will only help you experience things like this sooner! When you look up at the stars, look with the intention to be open to seeing something completely new without expectations. You might be surprised by what you see :)
Delightful video (as always!) and what a spectacular voice that Suzanne McDermott has!! I went to post a comment, but she has comments turned off on her videos. Your beautiful voice introduced us to another beautiful voice. I subscribed to her channel.
I've been doing prop and model making for years and this is by far the best way I've EVER seen to paint rust onto something. It's so simple because it IS rust, thank you so much for sharing.
I really like how you put your own personality into videos like these, they're still how-to videos and feel like something you're showing us that we can do.
It's always a good day when Crafsman posts.
Hope all is well at the crafsfamily homestead ❤️
Between Crafsman and you I survived quarantine with more mental health than expected and a new interest in miniatures and different painting techniques. Thank you!
Wowwwwww the spinning table!!! Your production quality is just... **chefs kiss**
fun little project, thank you Crafsman. and what a beautiful song ... i didn't expect a folk song about UFOs to evoke such emotion, but it sure did, and thank you Suzanne for sharing the song with us.
Thank you for the much needed wholesome content during the pandemic, Crafsman. Love your channel, your videos feel like a breeze of fresh air! 🌬😌❤️
I like how this channel about crafting also uploaded some of the most compelling UFO footage I’ve seen.
RIGHT?!?!
Wow that space station. Crazy how we have these lost memories. I had one in my kindergarten class. Thank you .
It's not just the craftin. Your video crafting/production keeps improving too! Well done!
The Craftsman is a philosophy and way of life. Thank you Craftsman!
Beautiful video Craftman. We're in for the big stuff! A real blessing we had the choice to be here on mother earth with what's to come. Can't wait for our leap into the making of history.
What a beautiful song! I’ve added her to my Spotify playlists. Thank you Crafsman for all you do! ❤️
My dad and I have been watching your videos to learn techniques for building our OO gauge railway.
This one is soooo helpful! Thank you!
I just adore you, your love intros, your videos, your projects!!! Thank you for bringing such fun and light into this world!!! 🙏🏽✨💗 “contrast is a spice of life” 😍🤩
Really obsessed with this song now honestly. Wonderful work crafsman, you're a good dude who makes good things. I appreciate you.
what an eerie and beautiful song!! weathering looks so awesome too, crafsman
Nice work. I like that when you dissembled it you kept the wiring in there, so it still makes that alien sound effect now.
And thank you for introducing me to "The Roswell Incident" by Suzanne McDermott. A folk song about a UFO crash is totally my jam.
🛸
This should be two videos. I love the music in the second half. You are always awesome.
After seeing the copyright video you made, I'm using ad block to watch this video and I suggest that everyone do the same. Just for this one.
I've just discovered your channel and I am hooked! I saw the Tony Chachere, and I thought "That's why he sounds like my Pa!" Bless you. Bless your creativity, Bless your family, and stay safe. We need you.
That song was beautiful, I’m here for UFOlk music. You made the toy look outstanding and with the music it just felt precious, like now the toy has an entire history.
Nothing says Sunday better than worship service & a youtube visit from TheCrafsMan! Really enjoyed this one, but I was surprised you didn't somehow make the windows transparent & add one of your cool figures inside the ship along with some crazy led lights. Make that $1 UFO into a priceless artifact. Loved the song as well. That was cool. Keep on wishing on them indecisive stars!
Great project and loved the song. First song I had ever heard about the night at Roswell. Susan is right, we are not alone
This video and the song inspired me to make a trip to Roswell NM for my vacation in April. If you like Sci Fi/Alien conspiracy it is worth the visit.
Oh wow! Lonnie, have you seen "Six Days in Roswell"? That's the documentary that introduced me to the song. (It plays at the end over the credits.) Hope you have a fun trip!
@@TheCrafsMan I haven't seen it. I'll have to look it up. It was a great trip. I saw some images that made me question your origins. Were you in an accident of any sort in July of 1947? :)
Pretty song and a great idea for a project. Thanks for the entertainment CrafsMan.
I don’t have any fancy machines, so I appreciate you doing some low-tech steady craftin’! The iron powder and rust accelerant trick was genius, as was the fantastic song about Roswell. Sending you so much love!
His perfect commentary is just amazing, I love him so mu ch
This here space ufo is the coolest craziest space ufo I ever saw. I think it's just amazing how you turned it from brand new to real old lookin. Crafsman you are out of this world.
Thank you Crafsman! You always bring me joy with your videos. The music today was an added bonus.
Keep steady craftin!!! 🥰
Perfect song for a great project,
the outcome is a work of art.
Take care🙂
Dude, I just bought me 1 of these last week cuz I couldn't resist and then I c this and im the happiest camper a person can be! Thanks a whole bushel and bunch!
:D I'm glad to hear this! The little UFOs were hard to pass up when they had them at Dollar Tree. Classic and simple design, but with enough detail to do weathering and such. :)
I 4got 2 ask if the lights and sound still work after giving it the awesome treatment?
Thanks for being there today with your videos, I really needed that.
And I loved how the little adventure spacemen had a part of this video, too. I received my Space Station just last week. ♥ Stay awesome, much love!
You always amaze me Crafsman! Time flies by when I'm watching your videos! Thanks so much!
Absolutely delightful video and music!! Thank you, Crafsman! Hugs to you and your family. Stay safe.
Nice Job, Nice music....thank you so much for a really beautiful craftin experiencie!!! Love you Crafsman
Wow... that was such a beautiful video and song collaboration. Thanks for sharing!! Really got 8magination fired up :D
This is the highest quality video I've seen on youtube in a while. CraftMan is the best
Beautiful song, and awesome project. You the whole package, Crafsman.
Dear Mr. CrafsMan: This is the first video of yours I ever saw, and I subscribed, went to my Dollar Tree, found said Space UFO and DIY'd it (well, it was a collab with a friend). We had fun and it turned out really great! Today I want to do a robot the same way. I've enjoyed your many other videos, but this is the only SteadyCraft I actually made. Thanks Mr. CrafsMan!
I have only recently gotten in to making backdrops for action figures, and I found this channel. My life has changed. Love the Crafsman!
You are just awesome, Steady! AWESOME!!! Great work... and the musical interlude... magic!
I've always been interested in DIY videos, but I'm not sure I've ever felt moved watching them until now. Thank you Crafsman.
At the first look of the thumbnail I thought it was a restoration, but then I read the title.
There are two things I've learned and valued by this:
1.) I'm an idiot
2.) With being fooled, this proves that you are truly masterful on your craft.
Keep up the excellent art and craft work!
Wow!! Sometimes I feel conflicted... on one hand I want you to never change your style, but eveytime you do something different I absolutely love it? So.. just keep being you😊
Outstanding, The Crafsman does it again.
I watch your videos with my spouse and every video is so relaxing, educational and truly a work of art. Thank you! Keep up the good work
Absolutely golden video Crafsman! I once painted a sword to be rusted by using several tones of umber and orange blends with a mixing of cinnamon powder. Gave amazing rust results very quickly!
The music and video editing was so on point. Amazing video...gonna use this for Gaslands for sure.
You have the best intro of the wolrd
That song is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to Suzanne Mcdermott!
The fact you used rust water to rust it for real but also for effect blew my mind when it all clicked!! Absolutely stunning
Best Craftsman video ever made so far!
Thank you for the relaxing video. It was especially nice with the music from Ms. McDermott
"Not only is it a UFO it's a space UFO"
It's too early in the morning to be laughing this hard haha, I dont wanna wake anyone
:) Glad somebody else found that funny! :D It sure tickled me when I saw that tag.
This is such an amazing channel, honestly.
You just made my Sunday! Thank you for the video.
Sir, thank you for all that you do with this channel. Straight up moved to tears! 💙
I like the way you think, CrafsMan. You have found a way to hold on to childhood.
And Thanks for adding that great ballad. Really nice connection to your visuals 👽
I love videos like this where you don't use a bunch of expensive techniques. This was fun!
Hey CrafsMan, not only are your videos fun and creative, but your voice is very calming. Sorta like ASMR. Cheers!
I get one day off a week. Your videos help me simultaneously relax, learn and motivate me to be more artistic, thanks.
Beautiful job well done mista sir. Thank you for a good calming video to watch while I have my coffee and begin working on my drawings again. You’re a great puppet.
Thanks for making me smile. Always entertaining. I saw a molotow chrome marker. 👍
Craf'man... I could listen to your voice all day. Loving the humour and the mellow groove every bit as much as the craftin'. Stay groovy, dude.
This video is a compilation of all the reasons this is my favorite UA-cam channel
That perfect transition shot.... dayum.
