- In this video I try 3D printed molds with metal interfaces (for the heat) and then try resin mixed with iron oxide. I was surprised by the result.
I make videos every week, thanks to direct support.

Hey buddy! Thank you for the concern. It means a lot to me.

@@TheCrafsMan glad to hear that you are well👍 you got such a beautifully unique voice, have you ever thought about doing voiceovers for sth or reading an audio book?
I’ll be steady prayin for those results Crafsman. Stay positive everybody 😊
My man, thank you so much!
*having a rough go with life*
*New Crafsman video drops*
*Feels at peace*
Seriously, thank you for what you do.
They work like magic 😌
Hope you're doing well, Crafsman.
It only counts as failure if you give up on it, otherwise it's just trial and error!
Love you, Crafsman
And remember that if you record what you're doing, it's science!
Hey CrafsMan I'm a model maker and I make Sci-fi resin kits the 1st video of yours I watched was the one about growing and shrinking molds and I have been enjoying your videos ever since. I have been making my kits for over 10 years now but watching your videos I have learned some new techniques from you so you can still teach an old dog some new tricks! Just want to say that your videos are much appreciated and hope you are doing well after your medical procedure take care man, Ray from Bronx NY.
Ray, this means a lot to me. Thank you SO much! Hope you're staying creative, my friend!
Praying doctor does not find anything bad, and for continued excellent health for you. You are an amazing person
I caught myself narrating in the TheCrafsmans voice as I was cooking breakfast this morning. I love this channel and I'm praying for you.❤🙏
Hoping for a lot of steady crafting in your future sir.
Thank you so very much.
Crafsman tells them bubbles that you ain't gotta go home, but you can't stay here.
They took consolation in the idea that every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. ;)
@@TheCrafsMan nice Semisonic reference there Crafsman
Hope the doctor finds nothing. Sending prayers your way.
I appreciate that so much.
@@TheCrafsMan you have no idea the amount of peace your videos bring me. With all this chaos in the world, your channel has become a place of refuge during these crazy times. 🙂
Bryan Kay same.
Objectively The best channel ever!!!
“He still tryin’ to figure things out. He tryin’ to get his life right...get some type of employment, you see.” 🤣🤣 Crafsman, you help keep me happy! 😃
Yah instead of putting it in resin, let them do the pathology report 😂😂😂 .. Love you Crafsman (& mama). Prayers going up for best results 👌💯✌️
Oh & nicely done molds! Ty 👏👏👏
:) Thank you SO very much!
May The Lord keep you safe and healthy🙏
Artie, thank you for the wonderful comment!
I accept that "every good and perfect gift comes from above" and am grateful for what God has given.
Just being able to do the things I enjoy, like this right here, is more than I could have hoped for. I appreciate you.
Glad the operation went well, and wish you a full and speedy recovery.
CrafsMan you da best man. Honestly, you brighten my day and I learn things at the same time.
Very kind, my friend!
Oh no, Brother TCM. I'm getting my prayer wheels starting up for you. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. That was a genius idea for making a "metal mold" on a budget. I love the little cactus figures. I can't imagine how much fun you are having with your injection machine. You have some great friends all around the world who are wishing you well. I hope whatever they took out was all they needed to take. Stay positive, and I know you and yours have a direct line to the Big Man upstairs. We will be saying double the prayers for you, Brother TCM, every night. We love ya'll. God bless :)
My favorite UA-camr uploaded, and I'm here within 10 minutes. The excelenticity of today is high!
Someone is going to make a fortune with this content. I hope it's CrafsMan. All these videos are old so I dont know what happened. Hopefully he made it big and is making plastic toys in Costa Rica for fun with no worries.
Thanks for watching! :D
Crafsman is out here at the shop right now waiting on some silicone layers to cure on these sofubi molds. :) Still makin' toys.
❤ sharing your videos with my family. Life long crafters 😊 ❤@@TheCrafsMan
The lineup of failed experimental aliens reminded me of a similar Sigourny Weaver scene in Alien 4
That is exactly how anesthesia works, forreal. I had a tumor removed last year, luckily it wasn't cancer, hoping for the best for you as well. Love ya, Crafsman.
Craftsman here's a little trick to minimize flash;
If you remove (mill/grind) some of the material away from the closing surface you will Increase the closing pressure and thereby get less flash.
Leave 2-4 mm around the cavity and guidepins, and leave a little patch in each corner to avoid warping.
My man! I took an X-acto to some of the outer parts (you may be able to see where I cut the edges in the video), but I really like the idea of removing more material! It makes total sense, too. Going to do this! Thank you!
I was conjecturing that this would work. Thank you for confirming! I assume you know this from experience?
@@allyourcode i am a toolmaker with a core focus on micro injection molding and free form injection molding (FIM).
It's an well known trick to push a small machine a little further and to seal a worn mold.
@@TheCrafsMan you are welcome.
If you need some special plastic please let me know. I can get you samples of most things. What jumps to mind is recycled fish net(PA6), carbon or glass reinforced plastic, tpe (silicone like thermoplastic), tpe is super cool, it comes from 10 to 90 shore. The 10shore is unreal🙂
Praying for good test results and for you and your family's peace of mind. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and the opportunity to lift you and yours in prayer and return a little of that love you share with us.
"ha, I made you say underweeeeaaaaghhhh"
Never change crafsman, you beautiful soul.
All the best from way down in Australia.
I like to imagine that the surgery was a lint removal procedure.
And that he never FELT a thing. 😉
HA! I appreciate y'all's humor so much!!!!! :D
@@TheCrafsMan Always use yo' lint brush.
i bet the surgeon wore gloves too 🤣
My kids loved this opening.
Me having meself some breakfast while watchin da craftsman show. Great ways to start da day. Love me some craaaftsman.
Glad you're doing fine craftsman we praying for you. You like the grandfather I never had ❤️
I love you Crafsman! Your subtle humor is not lost. You get me to actually lol. thank you.
Its not possible to watch the crafsman and be sad. Change my mind.
This is not an opinion, it is A FACT
this is the first video you have uploaded since I found your channel, and I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your videos!!!
The Crafsman is, without a doubt, the best thing on UA-cam.
wow. my uncles like to tease me about when i was a kid, 3 or 4, and how i'd tell versions of that underwear joke, constantly. that was nearly 50 years ago. i guess classic comedy never gets old. be well CrafsMan and thanks for all the smiles.
Awesome video, yet again! Your videos are very inspiring to me, even though I don't even have a workshop, but I dream of one. And in addition, your videos are also very relaxing with great comedy in them as well! :)
Greetings from Finland,
Vesa
You inadvertently created a new character with that fist injection "smalll head alien" his name can be Alan :D
Yah that was sooo cool! Pinhead alien was cuteness 😆
You're a wonderful, wonderful person! I'm glad to know you're okay! Loads of love and best wishes from the UK!
Dearest Crafsman - I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery and am including you in my prayers that all will turn out well for you. I so appreciate all of the different projects and crafting methods you teach on your channel. I also love your positive attitude, sense of humor, encouragement to not let our mistakes bother us, life advice, helpful hints, and the calming tone and cadence of your voice. I was wondering if you were from the great state of Louisiana? Something about your accent reminds me of the lovely people that I encountered on my two visits there. Please keep doing what you do. I am a new and big fan and fellow crafter.
Crafsman. I make jewellery with pewter and most wooden board will work fine as a pressure distributer when clamping silicone moulds even with higher temperatures. Hope your health improves. Keep crafin' !
Much love, Crafsman. I hope those doctors come back with good news.
I love the way you said, "See that right there?... That's magnetic" at 2:14
You can't see it except when you can
Words of wisdom as always !
I absolutely loved the charming narration at 11:40. The bouncy family comedy music behind it gave me warm and fuzzies 💜 stay healthy friend.
Crafsman you just bring joy into my day! God bless you and all the Crafsfamily.
This video was not the content I was searching for, but I ended up watching the whole thing and subscribing just because I was enjoying it so much. lol
I will be keeping you in prayer, my friend! Great idea with the metal powders, I'm glad it worked!
"Can I have that and put it in some resin?" The Crafsman never stops craftin
"Nah, baby - we got to send that out for testin', you know" LOLS! I"m Dying!!!!
Praying for good news and peace for you and your CrafsFam. Stay healthy CrafsMan.
I always look forward to Sunday, because it usually means Crafsman!! I hope you are doing ok Craftsman!!! Please stay well!
Sending you lots of healing vibes Crafsman. You’ve got this. 🍄🌸🦋
I love your videos for the experimenting and mistakes you show. I think you learn most from mistakes, and sometimes they lead to invention. And it helps some people to know it don't always come out perfect for us either. Your the coolest
All the best CM, loving all the videos of resent!
Welp, I pulled the trigger on buying my very first injection molding machine on eBay for a little over $300. I realized the stuff I want to start off with making is probably done with PP and not ABS, so I might be able to get away with making my molds from high temperature silicone or resin. Very excited to start this journey, and I wanted to say thank you Crafsman, for all your inspiration. I feel like your videos gave me enough knowledge to have the confidence to take the first step!
This is exciting! :D
I saw your other comment as well. Please email me and I will be happy to help: thecrafsman @ gmail.com.
Thank you!
I just sent up a prayer for you Crafsman. You're in God's hands good man. Thanks for all you do sir.
Crafsman is a mad scientist inspiration.
Nice surprise to start my Sunday video watching, a fresh new Crafsman video! I hope all is well with your medical issue. 💜
I forgot to watch this yesterday! But thats ok, nothing like the crafsman before class to get me ready for the day! Now ive got the motivation to do my best!
I hope you are well and safe.
God bless you and the Crafsfamily.
Sending good positive vibes your way Crafsman things Will be all good! Stay healthy, Stay Happy & Stay Blessed! 🙏🏻
We love you Crafsman, hope you're ok.
Your crafsman community wishes you the best of health in these trying times!
Keep on steady craftin' for years to come!
You are good for the soul, craftsman.
I hope all is well, with your health.
Sorry to hear you had to go in for an op craftsman. Hope everythngs OK. Put your feet up and rest, don''t feel the need to post videos if you aren't feeling 100% . We need our craftsman fit and well , take it easy.
You have a lot of great toys. You sir, are an enabler.
'now altho summa deez thangs looke like whoop-dee-doooo...'
dying
Awe Crafsman, I hope all went well for you. Sending positive vibes from Canada.
That 1st unformed version reminded me of the android duplicate that was growing in the bed from The Last Starfighter.
Of course, also wishing you well Crafsman!
Mr. MEow! Always brings a smile to see one of your comments. Thank you so much!
Crafs man! You are amazing keep up being you, we all love and appreciate what you do!
Hello..and welcome to the crafsman show...
My favorite UA-cam channel with anotha videeohh!!! Alright! Keep on steady postin!!!
Crafsman I think if more people thought and acted like you the world would be a better place.
Crafsman, you're the best!! Your channel is one of the best on YT and that's because you're an amazing person!!
We love you so!! And send you all the best!!
That's an interesting technique.
What about casting a metal mold from silicone? Like how you cast the Cap'n Crunch robot guy only a mold for the figure.
That would be neat to see.
But mainly, Crafsman, I hope you stay healthified and kick any crud trying to get you in their face crevasses and creases. 🙏 :{
That's a good thought! I have made pewter molds (shown briefly in that mold-mold video, using a little Dunny mold example) but getting a smooth, non-pitted surface has been the tricky part. I think it's possible, though!
@@TheCrafsMan Would heating up the silicone mold before pouring in the pewter possibly help? So that the mold and metal are at about the same temperature?
I hope you are well Crafsman. Me and my 11 yr old daughter look forward to your videos every Sunday, and are never disappointed! Stay well an keep healthy steady craftin!
I loved that intro.
4:40 OH Man. I just got transported absolutely instanty 25 years into the past seeing that school lunch plate. How many strong vivid memories were made in the school lunch room around these things then just suddenly they exited my life completely after elementary school? Lord have mercy.
Apologies if you covered this somewhere later in the video than I've watched so far, but: placing vent holes in the extremities of the mold is standard practice for getting a complete fill (avoiding those air pockets). So, to get a complete fill on most occasions, you'd put a little pin-sized hole out to the left and right from each hand on the model and another one from the top of the head. Then, since the molder is manual, you would fill until you get a little plastic through each vent. Then, you'll get good models on more occasions.
Soothing, genuinely humorous and Informative. Love ya bro!
That surgery joke had me in stitches.
Get it?
🤣🤣🤣 “It’s what’s inside that you can’t see. But sometimes you can. “
Just laughing to tears my friend. I know exactly where your coming from. 🤣🤣🤣
Wishing you the best of health Crafsman. Big love to you. ❤️
Prayin all is well so you can keep on keepin on. Craft ony friend!!
It is great seeing the process for the things you make
Feel better, Crafsman!
That whole exchange with the anesthesiologist made me laugh so hard that the bed was shaking and I thought I might wake up my SO
We are joined, adding strength to your molding material. Continue production CrafsMan!
I love the nature sounds at the end! that was nice
You’re the BEST, CrafsMan!
Thanks for teaching everyone how to make stuff! We appreciate it.
Get well soon and I always love your content. Thanks.
I really want me a Crafsman music CD, them musical bits get me groovin
I hope you are in good health Crafsman! Sending you well wishes!
i just want to appreciate you uploading a video even when the doctors made you go to sleep like that, its confusing, huh? take it easy craftsman, love ya
Please stay with us, man. We love you.
I hope you're doing okay medical-wise Crafsman. Take care of yourself! Thoughts and prayers with you (since you seem to be the type of person who would like prayers.)
Thank you so much for this! I do indeed appreciate the prayers!
Your kindness means a lot to me.
Hope you’re doing OK in these trying times CrafsMan, wishing you well from NZ :) Kia Kaha (stay strong)
I complimented someone on her lovely pair of earrings. "Thank you," she said, "They're my ovaries. I had to have them removed and I didn't want them to go to waste."
And to think poor Micarah Tewers couldn't even keep her wisdom teeth!
Sending some happy thoughts your way, Crafsman. Take it easy these days, OK?
And I can definitely relate to wanting whatever they cut out of you in resin :D When I was a teen I got run over by a car. They put some screws in my ankle to hold it together while it healed. When they took them out, I asked if I could keep them. They gave me a little jar with the screw in them. That was 1998 - and I still have them!
Like the others have expressed, I hope you are doing well. Do take care, we’re steady craftin family here, wishing you the best. 🌷
