My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
History will mark this video as the point where epoxy sculpt related cases of salmonella dropped off entirely
Wait....what?
Hi Brookes! Love your channel :)
@@StudioHannah hehe thanks! I hope you saw the recent vid with the Crafsman himself
I love the surprises of seeing you cross over with other artists I follow!
Somebody needed to raise awareness! 😂
'this when you wanna use it' stage, is the best stage...
My dude I love how you are early 🥰 and I agree with your comment lol
TheCrafsman - The only UA-cam channel that I will quit what I am doing when a new video is uploaded just to watch it.
I love Apoxy Sculpt. I don't know how I made anything before I found it.
Side note, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) works just as well as the solvent that's sold for Apoxy Sculpt. You get more for your dollar with rubbing alcohol.
What the heck, I thought the Crafsman was right behind me. That was some next level voice throwing.
"Only knead what you need" -- words to live by.
One of my secret joys is clicking subtitles on these videos and watching the UA-cam robots struggle to interpret CrafsMan's smooth and melodic Louisia-ness
I do this as well - very funny. (shhhh - But he's from Mississippi.)
My husband looks at me sideways whenever I'm watching Craftsman (you'd think after all this time, years even, he'd be used to it) cause I LOL!! Everytime!! I don't comment everytime, BUT I Love Craftsman forever!!
Being a kid from the eighties, I really appreciate your Crafnation Presents sound effect
"Bite size pieces" got Free-range Chicken sweating 😅
I had to go and watch the "Don't Forget to Wear Your Dust Mask" video again, after this. That Scout Trooper in a dust mask gets me every time.
I'm loving the "crafnation presents" bumper at the beginning you've been using! Takes me back a few decades!
It slays me.
Another awesome tip for Aves and other epoxy-based sculpting clay I picked up a few years back: cling film, celophane wrap, plastic wrap - whatever it's called where you live - makes a FANTASTIC resist for it. You can put some of that stuff on something you want to take an impression of, smash the epoxy clay into it, let it set up, and then clean peel the wrap off the dried epoxy clay. Really handy for doing repairs to existing parts and getting really nice tight fits between multiple parts (like if you're making an articulating toy or something). You get a perfect impression of the master without leaving a bunch of epoxy chunks all over it, and without having your epoxy chunks covered in a release agent (which ime can make it set up weird).
You can tell Crafsman has never used Zbrush. His hair doesn't have big chunks pulled out of it.
Crafsman! I just got my pin. Really beautiful.
Thank you so much for your support! SO glad you like it! :D
Your ventriloquist talents are impressive. I literally thought someone else was speaking!
Hi craft man I love watching you're videos and I made a sculpture of you but it broke. Watching you're videos have helped me cope with a lot so thank you for being you
I sincerely appreciate this kind comment. (Thank you for watching!) Very sorry to hear of the sculpture breaking, though!
Grateful to know my little videos are of help to someone else. I hope you are doing well!
Sorry to hear about that!
Fix it with E.S.
There was a short time that I suspected you and my doctor were the same person, so I wore my crafnation T-shirt to an appointment. He didn't seem to notice it sooooo.. 😂😂
I used to use super sculpey, making bowling pin sculptures for my Etsy shop. I had to sculpt whatever elements I needed and then lower the bowling pins into boiling water, 'cause I wasn't about to put a nylon coated pin in our oven. Then after being introduced to apoxie sculpt(via the free range chicken video) I immediately bought some. Best decision ever, no more holding bowling pins over a pasta pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes every time i sculpt. I have been using it for any/all sculpting I need to do since.
For anyone that might want to use sculpey, you can get bake and bond (I believe it's called clay adhesive now or similar) where you can glue either baked or un-baked parts of sculpey together. Also you can bake it as many times as you want, but I can totally see why it doesn't work for certain projects!
Lovely. Keep up the ventriloquism practice, it gave me a much-needed laugh today!
in my teens apoxie sculpt was an unattainable 'holy grail' of sculpting materials! now that i use it regularly as an adult i feel super lucky!! i feel all the same ways about sculpey, haha.
I have been having a rough day. This right here was just what I needed to make me feel better. Keeping it between the ditches is rough just now, but now I have the memory of the CrafsMan's voice telling me to do just that. It helps. Thank you, CrafsMan. Lots of love to you and yours.💗
Favorite parts of this video:
Music!
Super cool helmet design
tips & tricks
🎵dust mask🎵
Where you been all my life CrafsMan? Best channel EVER!!
Just wanted to drop even more love for CrafsMan in the comments, he is such a wonderful maker of neat things and cool vibes :)
Just so you know, you can mix different 2 part epoxies! I've come to rely on a mix of green stuff and apoxie sculpt. I usually do about 25-30% GS for building the basic shape, and then 50:50 for doing finer detail work. You'll want to mix the Apoxie first then the GS then mix both together.
Just wanted to drop a note of thanks - for the great content always, but in particular for the timing of this one. I had spent the day facing literal life & death issues for very close family. Anyway, loads of stress & worry. Got home after they ran us out of the ICU (visiting hours y'all) to find a Crafsman vid-o in my subscription list! There's just something soothing and detoxing/de-stressing about you. Bob Ross of crafting? Yeah. But funnier.
I needed that. Right then. A video to help pack what little sanity I have left back in my head.
May God bless you...'cause He did me ...through you!
Your craft show only gets better and better
I forgot all about TrueSpace. That was the first 3D software I ever dabbled with, way back in 1998 when I built my first computer. TheCrafsman always stirs up my nostalgia.
Listening to CrafsMan after a hard day working in the workshop is truly the most peaceful and relaxing thing on earth. Thanks for doing what you do, CrafsMan
Few UA-cam experiences keep me smiling the whole video. Love ya, Craftsman!
Dang, CrafsMan could get a lil puppet and take up ventriloquism with them skills
Yessss! My favorite sculpting medium. Magic Sculpt is also a comparable product that is a little less expensive.
I like to use a soft artist paint brush as well silicone tipped tools dipped in water to smooth with. I keep some cut up old tee shirts handy to wipe my hands and tools as needed.
I have a weird dislike of the sound and texture of sandpaper. I've found jewelry files to be amazing tools when it comes to shaping and smoothing epoxy clay. Scotchbrite pads and steel wool are also nice for getting a matte finish. Just wanted to add those thoughts in to anyone looking for additional tools.
this is my first crafsman video and now i am a forever fan. Hilarious and so creative
Thank you so much for watching! This comment is so encouraging, and I hope you continue to enjoy!
CrafsMan, you’re ventriloquist act had me laughing so hard I had tears. I think that act is ready for the road...or a UA-cam original series.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. You really have a strong sense of pure creative happiness.
Hands down the best and most entertaining thing on UA-cam.
I received my SteadyCraftin purchases over the weekend. I love the enamel pins, the caution stickers, and the other add-ons you shipped as well. Thank you so much, CrafsMan. Your work brightens my day.
Perfect timing, Crafsman. Ordering my first batch of Apoxie Sculpt today, and this will help a lot for the project I'm getting it for. Even though I've watched a ton of epoxy clay videos to prepare, you still mentioned a couple tips no one else did. Thank you.
You're the only sock I'm listen to. Keep up the good work!!
Safety solvent! Who knew?! Best tip. I liked that you showed the difference between that and using water. Thank you!
“Only knead what you need”, it took me a moment 😊 great tips and you are a hoot 😂
Those enamel pins are legit!
Every time I watch one of your videos, it just makes me so happy inside. You have such a wonderful way of being you. Thank you, Crafsman.
May I say you are the best host ever. I love watching your videos. You are so inspiring. Thanks for what you do. When I grow up, I would like to be like you 😊😊😊😊😊
It's been a stressful day today and I know tomorrow will be the same. A comfy steady craftin' video will help me relax and get some sleep tonight.
Thanks, Crafsman :)
I cannot tell you how much i appreciate your videos. You teach us so much and your voice is so calming! Thank you.
thanks for the tips. Its something I want to mess around with but never knew where to start. You're the best Mr Crafsman!
That Crafnation intro was amazing!
I love this channel so much, so inspiring, relaxing and genuinely fascinating!!
Again, I love so much that you don't just make crafts for the camera but go out of your way to teach others
This video has alot of subtleties in it, classic Crafsman humor. Love it.
My soul relaxes listening to crafsman 💙💙
Your videos not only teach craftin technique, but they are excellent guides for sound design and visuals- all those little things you put together work so well because they are subtle and add just enough spice to the mix. I get inspired every time I watch your show.
That Crafnation title card is FANTASTIC! So subtle but very charming and fits the theme of the channel so well.
"It's going to get to the stage that I like to call 'this when you wanna use it' stage right there" 😂 Made me smile. Thanks CrafsMan
Oh my good Lord. I found this video today and I will NEVER go back. You are so FUNNY! I laughed so much at the end with the ventriloquist hand puppet. Too funny! Nice to meet you crafman!
This vid is chock-a-block fulla goodies!
Crafsman nuggets.
Crafsman, you're too pure for this world. 😆😆
I find you so soothing. Please be well, take care of your health, and enjoy your day.
Craftman, Craftman, love what you do here you been a big influence on depression and self awareness appreciate you so much thanks for everything you do respect ✊
A new Crafsman video for my birthday! Thank you!
Crafsman is the best.
Ventriloquist act had me rolling! Love you, Crafsman!
Crafsman, this video is a delight. Thank you.
Wow! The soundtrack in this video is incredible! Well done!
The production value of your videos is through the roof lately! Crazy good editing!
Thank you I've watched other Apoxie videos but yours is the most helpful. 🙂❤️
I've only ever tried sculpey / fimo so i just say I'm have to try since epoxy clay. I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos. Great production value, awesome tips and a warm atmosphere though i wont lie, your voice is so soothing I've fallen asleep watching some of your playlists!
I love your videos, they always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Crafman, I know you won't see this, but I want to share anyway since you're the reason I started my own 3d printing service, but if you angle your molds just a bit, like 15 degrees, it makes the part stronger, and there's less failures.
At 8:59 you can see that the bottom edge of the models are parallel to the make plate. Just give them a bit of a twist so that there aren't any supports on that bottom edge that are making contact with the model at the same time. It helps distribute the suction force from when the make plate rises up from the FEP film.
Especially at the beginning when where the model transitions from the supports to the actual work piece. The least amount of the surface area in a given slice that has be pulled free of the FEP film the better.
So excited to see you working with 3D sculpting. Can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.
I have been nervous to try epoxy sculpt for some time now but thanks to your video I think I might actually work up the courage to try it soon! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I hope you do give it a try! :D
@@TheCrafsMan oh wow 🤩 now I have to, huh?! Haha
CrafsMan where have you been all my life??? Between your mad skills, pearly voice and positive attitude I will be following you forever! Keep up the great work! Thanks so much and God bless you.
FWIW I think your sculpting Is quite adorable, detailed and very cool.
I love your tutorials, and you have a very kind voice
Hey Crafsman, just wanted to thank you for your videos. The whole family has gotten into them and we've all been inspired. Even the baby laughs and claps if she's in the room when you're on-screen. I've really enjoyed going back and looking at your character designs - I'm gearing up to illustrate a kids' book I just finished writing and your process gave me some great ideas. Also: if you're looking for digital sculpting on PC you can get Sculptris, it's like Zbrush's baby brother. It's technically discontinued but it's free, still available and it works!
Yay perfect timing! I’m about to try apoxy sculpt for the first time soon! ✨👌💖
Crafs man i just have to thank you for such awesome an inspirational tips you have raised me to where i am today on my level of molding abilities and i really appreciate it. 😀
Your editing skills improve along your crafting projects every video and it's so fun to see, I love the aesthetic you go for
Seriously Craftsman your vids fight depression! Thank you
I’m glad you tested out nomad sculpt! Loved the video
This has been very helpful for me choosing my methods on a project. Thank you!!
Also, if I may say, your style of speech and presentation is really funky and adorable. Craftman, you're great!
Oh the joy 😂. What a delight as always. Man, Crafsman, the production/editing/sound/lighting...man. Such a good video. Funny. Educational. Inspiring. Thank you. Shout out to T-nu!
This is my first of your videos, instant sub! I love informative and entertaining videos! Great job!
First time watching your video. I loved it. I like when people make their videos fun to learn. ❤😊
Love you Crafsman! Keep on steady craftin'! Alright!
I love your videos lol, they're entertaining AND I usually walk away with a helpful tip or two. Thank you!
i just saw this while i was in the gym, there’s nothing quite like squatting while also learning about clay sculpting from the Crafsman
Nice Shop Log prop! You can make anything.
And grats on 450K subs!
Shoot, watched on the big tv with my brother and nearly forgot to comment! I love the background music in this episode, makes me real happy :)
I love you Crafsman. You crack me up.
Craftsman your an amazing sculpture! Being fast is not a requirement of being a good sclpture. It comes from the heart.
Thank you for this video, you are very cool. I have a little repair project and now I know how I am going to get started.
Nice video Crafsman. Man, I do love me some Apoxie Sculpt! Wow, I'm excited about your Siraya Tech clear. It would simplify the plastic injection molding so much if you could bypass the metal frame - cheaper, faster, better. Fingers crossed. Excellent work... plus a pretty cool wire song, I'm gonna' put that one on my Spotify playlist.
LOL!
I mis-read as Siraya as Siracha... I have to rethink my life now. :)
@@element4studios Hahaha! : )
@@CajunCraftastrophe @Michael Lee That's because of the subliminal message Crafsman put in his last video about injection molding.. 😉
You're the BEST CrafsMan!
Thank you for your video. I use a Apoxie Sculpt for many sculpts and love hearing tips and tricks. Also hearing your voice today helps me with my pain level. Keep on Steady Crafting!
Wow. Thank you for such an encouraging comment. And I'm sorry to hear of your pain! :( I hope that eases way up for you.
