"I'm not very good at painting."
*proceeds to paint amazing chicken*
Aww. Thank you! But for real - wait until some of y'all get hold of these chickens. I feel like we're gonna see some NICE work then. :)
@@TheCrafsMan did you thin down your paint with water? It looked pretty hard to spread and use. If not, trying using some water next time, it helps a lot. Not too much, or then it becomes too thin and hard to apply. Plus, since the layer will be thinner, it's gonna be harder to leave brush strokes in the paint, it will save time later (you don't have to sand it to delete the brush marks)
@@TheCrafsMan If you go the blister card way, I'd like to see how that works. Most bootleg customizers out there like to act all rude and elitist over that like they've got some super-secret trade secret Krusty Crab recipe thing goin' on.
''I know it isn't an action figure cause it doesn't have any moving parts but look at this.''
**moves and makes the whole model dance**
I love this man, he's so pure and talented and humble and I can go on about how great he truly is.
I'm so appreciative of your comments! LOL! Really, thank you. And thank you for watching!
@@TheCrafsMan I'm so beyond happy that I found your channel. You're such an inspiration and you are so very talented! I hope you get more positive attention and more love each day cause you deserve it.
This was my favorite part
@@memo2933 me too
I stumbled on your channel and man you make a person feel at home. Your voice and how you interact with your audience. Also you seem passionate about your work. I wish you well and hope that you continue to thrive.
Man, this comment really made me smile this morning! Thank you SO much! I hope you continue to like my videos. :)
Chemical XR I found it while I was stoned
So true!!
@@TheCrafsMan Hey how are you doing in 2020? I hope all is well and that you are still active being innovative. I need a chance to speak with you🙏so can you email me (nomistakenate7@gmail.com)?

This little guy is perfect. Your videos make me feel like everything will be okay.
Aww, Jenn... thank you so much! My wife and I were just talking about you recently. Sure appreciate you.
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin how sweet. So happy to know you both.
Jenn Summer u know the craftman?
Jenn Summer for real like I be feeling better watching his videos
Jenn Summer so true... and especially right now at this point in time👍🏻
NOTICE: The "Free-Range Chicken" figures will be sold as a DIY, in blank white. This video is really just showing one example of what is possible with painting. I'm excited to see what YOU all do with these!
ALSO, I need to come up with some type of unificated hashtag people can use, so that anyone posting pictures of their painted & customized figures will have them seen by others. :D
I like it!
Need me a DIY chicken CrafsMan..
This a a before Christmas situation?
Hey David! We're aiming for early November! :D We're making small batches each day, in hopes of having a decent amount available for the first run. The main holdup is really waiting on our custom box die to come in for cutting the boxes out.
Refabrications: I'm excited to see what you do with one of these!
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin look forward to painting one of these, great work and very entertaining videos.
"I got the shaky shakes" Happy accidents level 100
:) Glad you enjoyed that! I do sometimes wonder if I'm shaking TOO much in these videos, especially with how closeup I often shoot. LOL!
I was thinking exactly that, it's a whispering Bob Ross witha superb voice. :)
Hi Craftsman... Just found your video channel.. Wonderful... Free range chicken, brilliant! Thanks for taking the trouble to make these films and make the world a slightly better place, cheers man...
Youre perfect man!!
@@TheCrafsMan I'm 100% sure i'm not the only one who reads your comments in my mind in your voice. I can't read them otherwise
Earl Grey 😂 ♥
Bernie Cat HEL-LO
Just look at him
LOL! Sometimes I wonder about what he was thinking when that painting was done. He doesn't seem happy. But maybe he was just being serious for the serious moment of having a picture made... while secretly excited about how good things were going with the tea business.
Mr Crafsman you sound like TheCrafsMan and no one else. You're incredible!!! Would love an update on the bees haha
Or a swarm count !
Thank you so much! :) The bees are steady maintaining and are set up for the winter. Thanks for checking in!
God Bless 😎
Yes, I'm so glad that I discovered your channel, you are so good at this and you take the time to read the comments, which shows that you are keeping an eye on the opinion of your subs! THANK YOU!
Felipe, I'm glad you found my channel too! Thank you for the good words, my friend. The encouragement goes a long way with me. Hopefully I can keep on keeping up with responding, because y'all are important to me.
I like how you read and reply to all your comments.
It is a special touch. But realistically it's not sustainable as a channel grows. As he gets more popular I actually HOPE he doesn't reply to everyone.... that's how people burnout and how it stops being fun. There's nothing I want more than for Crafsman to get joy from what he does and at some point I imagine he will have to dial back his response rate.
punkypineASMR true, I hope he reads that comment and knows that if he were to ever gain that much momentum that people would understand understand un-replied comments lol
It makes me think about Aragorn and them, right before rolling up on the gate at Mordor: "There may come a day when I won't be able to reply to the comments. When I'm too busy steady making videos and crafting silly DIY figures. But it is not THIS day." ;)
But for real, it does get maybe a little difficult replying. However, I really DON'T want to miss some of the things y'all say! But don't worry - if it gets to be too much and I find myself replying to comments instead of making a video each week, then I'll know it's time to dial it back. :)
I understand that there will be a day when TheCrafsMan has too many comments on each of his videos to read and reply to all them. But when he can't read all his comments that doesn't I won't watch all his videos anymore. For now I'm going to enjoy this hidden gem and spend time with it's community.
Pinky tip when painting is on point- I've painted miniatures for years and that is one of the best tips for new painters. Many thin coats, washes, dry brushing, blending on the eyes... You may say you aren't gifted at painting, but you know the tricks, and your chicken came out looking awesome! Thanks for sharing, I'm excited to paint a chicken!
;) Thank you so so much! I can't wait to send you one, and SEE what you do! We have to come up with a hashtag dealy or something, so we can all see them. :)
CrafsMan...seriously one of the best UA-camrs out there. As a longtime model builder and artist, I have to tell you I get so much joy watching you do your thing. Nothing better than getting lost in tinkering and getting in touch with your creativity. You deliver each video with quality, sincerity, good hearted humor and kindness. Keep doing what you do, and we’ll all be better for it. God bless.
John, that means so much to me. Thank you for keepin' on watching my videos, and for taking time to leave some encouraging words. Taken to heart, my friend.
You're the Bob Ross of crafts my man.
That's always humbling to hear, my friend. Thank you for watching!
Just discovered you when you started with your Space Chicken. Can't wait to see what else you're going to make next.
Exactly what I thinking!
More like the Bob Ross of CRAFS ha ha sorry
Anybody that unsubscribes from the Crafsman should be blasted off this earth with one of those chicken rocket packs. Crafsman is the best channel on UA-cam. Period
I don't think that's necessary. They are suffering enough from missing out on this A-grade content.
Wow. Thank you, my friend. I do try to make as many people happy as I can, but like grandma and them said, "some people can't nobody make happy". :)
Thank you, Bearded Emperor!
Well I think grandma would be proud, because you definitely make a lot of people happy
hogs29 😂😂I agree
Even if I never make a figure, create a mold for it, cast copies, or paint it, I've enjoyed watching the videos!
I love that your crafts and videos are accessible for us regular folk, and my goodness, are you enjoyable and relaxing to listen to!
Thanks for sharing!
SO glad to hear this! It really makes me happy. Thank you for taking time out to comment!
Please do a video showing some of your miscellaneous little items like keys, bolts, gears, tin boxes.. stuff like that!
I can sure do that! :) Thank you!
I love your videos. I just found your channel a couple of days ago. I love it when you were playing with the chicken and went on a tangent of Earl Grey.
“Look at Earl Grey back there. Hello.” 🤣🤣🤣 This is the best channel ever!
LOL! Thank you so much!
My husband and I just discovered your channel, and we can't stop giggling! We'll be watching ALLLLLLL your videos!
Glad y'all enjoy it! :D
Your "Free-Range Chicken" is a piece of art, Crafsman. Please sign and number each one of your amazing pieces. Love all of your videos and your positive attitude. I know you are steady-busy, but I think we would all love some SteadyCraftin mugs :)
Thank you so much, my friend! :D
Another great video. Your really need your own TV show.
Wow. Thank you! Super nice of you! I probably wouldn't even be able to watch it, though. Even with aluminum foil, we only get three channels. LOL!
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin You’re not missing anything, I can assure you. 🙂
This has been my absolute favorite video of yours. I've made coasters from your wood-transfer videos, I've made cabochons into fridge magnets and pendants, and I've sent them to the people I love. They've teared up from the gesture, and that's all because of you. Thank you.
WOW, Patrick. Wow. This does my heart good. Y'all are overwhelming me with these comments today. Thank you so much.
First time watcher and now subscriber. I’m a 31 year old graphic design student and a Air Force Veteran and I’ve been wanting to make my own character from sketch to model. You are a idol for any adult still wanting to create and be imaginative. Love your videos!
This means so much to me, Rylicia. I want to first say thank you for your service in the Air Force. Next, I think it's great that you're going to school for graphic design! PLEASE do go forward with your character! To be honest with you, I was just making a video and off the cuff decided on the "Free-Range Chicken", because I figured it was at least a little funny, and that I should be able to model it. Now my wife and I are making plastic casts of the figure, getting them ready for sale in early November. I did't think that would happen like this, and it has been a wonderful surprise. I say all that to say this: It seems like we do some of our neatest things when we're just having fun, and maybe even being silly. When you get ready to make your character, just loosen up and think about how the young version of you would approach that character. :D All the best to you! Thank you for watching!
When you started making the chicken walk,and earl grey, it made my day, it was so adorable!
:D So glad you enjoyed that! Thank you for watching!
Free-Range Chicken needs his own series!
Thanks CrafsMan for your videos...You always make me smile.💜
Mz Lee like a FRC stop motion dramatic mini series?!?!
Thank you so much!
Ohhh, snap!
Nothing better than a CrafsMan video to start the weekend! .....loveeee your work and SUPER educational as well! ♥
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you like what I do! :D
I could listen to him saying "hello" all the time. CrafsMan, please say "hello" more often.
:) Thank you! I don't want to wear out the "hello" on y'all, my friend! ;)
There is few things as soothing as listening to you working. Kind of the modern Bob Ross of sculpting. Always watch your vids while working on my own stuff. Thanks man, and keep it up!
So glad you're enjoying the channel! I really appreciate the support! :)
Stressful week: politics out of whack, stock market flopping in n out- only good thing lately is your calming, fun video brotha! Keep on creating.
Mannnnnnnnnnn, this makes me smile. Seriously, just knowing I can have some calming effect on someone in these catawompus times is a big deal to me. Thank you!
CRAFSMAN!!!!!!! My son and I need you to make a aweomse turtle figure!!! My son is already excited about taking the Free Ranger as he calls the chicken on our hiking trips. Love you videos love your figures can't wait to see more
Thank you and your son for the idea! I've got me a little list of character ideas going, and that is going on it now! :) I like "Free Ranger"!
Free Ranger Needs An Instagram!
Hey Crafsman!!! My husband, son and myself found your vidyahs about a week ago. We have been watching daily. We enjoy you so much. Keep on craftin. Thank you for the joy you bring!
Sarah, I appreciate y'all so much! :D Knowing I bring joy to someone is a gift back to me! :)
The segment from 1:44 through 2:03 is one of the most sublime moments of comic genius (intentional or not) I can think of in recent memory. It makes me think TheCrafsMan has a background in advertising or comedy writing, and/or video production.
Thank you, Troy! :)
Thank you for giving us the best of you. The world need this kind'a-thing!
Wow. You're so welcome, and thank you for the encouragement!
I can’t wait to order a free range chicken 🐓 👍🏽
I couldn't find them on Etsy are they up yet?
@@rat-lk2ri 16:56
@@SheldonHerringWexler thx so much! I should have watched the whole video before I commented this. 😂
Thank y'all so much! We can't wait to release them!
I found the first free range chicken video when i was having a bad day and it made me feel so much better. It's so obvious how genuinely you love creating and I think it's so sweet and amazing to watch
:) Lauren, this is so encouraging. Thank you!
My friend, you are the best. My kids love sitting with me and watching every episode.
Kento, that makes me smile big! Hope you and your kids continue enjoying my videos! :)
'Some lil' bumpy bump thang like dat' : ))))) Your powers of description are a joy
LOL! ;) Glad you liked that.
All this time I thought my paint was just too thick it was no good. But now thanks to you, I know if it's too thick and goopy, mooshe, goopy, collapee, all I have to do is add some water to it and it's all good. Thanks TheCraftsMan, U ROCK!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Mannnnn, this made me crack up. Thank you for watching!
It might be a good idea to make a Free-Range Chicken Chess Set. The pawns could be eggs; the king a cockrel/rooster; the castle could be a hen house etc. :)
A few of y'all have mentioned chess pieces! Maybe it has to do with the checkerboard pattern of the cutting mat. ? :D
We love you, too, CrafsMan! Proud to be a supporter (even if it isn’t for much $). I’d love to buy a chicken when they are available to keep me company as I carve. (I’m a wood carver). I really LOVED the goggles. So so cool over those big eyes. Blessings to you and the Mrs.
Aww, thank you so much, Susan! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and can't thank you enough for the support! Can't wait to get a chicken to you! :D
The goggles were SUCH a good idea. Great ending, blessings to you and your family as well.
I'm glad you liked that! Thanks so much for the support!
Oh, snap! That detailing on the suit makes her look like a figure by Playmobil! (Which means she's an action figure by default.)
A few other thoughts:
1. That old telephone. Until physical tours of the CrafsShop are available, I would love another video (or twelve -- no pressure 😉) of your collections. They bring back memories of being at my grandparents' house.
2. Would it be possible to purchase a set of goggles? I'd like to do a steampunk Free Range Chicken, and they would be perfect.
3. SPACECLUCKS would make an awesome short (five or so minutes per episode) animated series, voiced by Your Host, the CrafsMan. 😉
4. Merch. Maybe a t-shirt with a design on the front of the CrafsPuppet saying, "Hello," and a small "SteadyCraftin" logo on the back (near the neckline)? Or a design incorporating the phrase, "Oh, SNAP! I'm SteadyCraftin"? There's a website called TeeTurtle that features a lot of cute craft-themed apparel & puns ("I'm Pro-craft-inating") that I'm thinking of as a visual reference.
Ok, I've probably got you completely discombogulated by now. Thank you for all your hard work & your commitment to your viewers. Take care & God bless. 💙
Courtney Zeo, always with the wonderful comments! :D I appreciate you so much.
I'm going to have to show y'all about that telephone, and maybe include some other things, like the mysterious "blasting box" I showed briefly in another video.
Will look into maybe having some "accessories" that fit the Free-Range Chicken, if it's popular enough. I like that!
"Spaceclucks"... the name alone is worth doing something with. LOL!
Been thinking about shirts, but not sure if we're there yet. On my mind, though. Thank you!
Your Free Range Chickens are the best. They might go nation wide. Love your channel. Thank you
Wow. Thanks so much, James! Glad you like what I do!
15:19 so considerate and good-natured he apologized to his paint brush.
;) Thank you for watching!
You could put a little of the fake hay stuff at the bottom of the package so it won't get hurt in the box and you have some farm realism. Anyways your videos are great and they make me remember that there are good people at the end of hard days. Keep steady craftin sir😊.
This is such a good idea!!!
I read this to my wife and her eyes lit up! I don't know if we'll be able to pull it off, but that is a really great idea!
@@TheCrafsMan just be careful this doesn't trip up any customs for agriculture issues (having unspecified vegetation)
Hey Crafsman. I'm a professional illustrator and I've been painting professionally for almost 10 years. Love your videos. Just wanted to drop a few tips for keeping your brushes nice and in good condition. I noticed that your purple brush had some flaking paint and the tip was a little wobbly. Also I saw that you keep your brushes in your water a lot. I'd suggest keeping your brushes on a clean paper towel next to your water source when your not using them to paint. This prevents the water from soaking up into the wood and causing it to expand. When it the wood dries it will contract and cause the paint on the handle to flake off. Over time it will also cause the metal tip holding the brush fibers/hairs to become loose and it may fall off entirely. When your ready to clean your brushes you can use regular dish soap or Masterson's brush cleaner and preserver to remove any paint from the tip. If you use just a bit of left over soap to shape the tip and let that dry it will keep your brush tip in good shape. I know you said some of the brushes you had were cheaper ones so it's probably not that big a deal. But if you have some nice brushes in your collection this will help keep them around for many years. Again Love your videos I hope this helps in some way.
I like this advice, RAR! Thanks so much! Really! If you have any advice on brushes (like red sable or whatever will give me better results), please feel free to email me: thecrafsman@gmail.com
I'm always wanting to learn!
I was told that you can also run your brush over a bar of soap after cleaning, and this will help keep them formed, and in good condition.
@@animallovefest143 Absolutely! That also works. I forgot to mention that as an alternative.
@@rar7437 Thank you for confirming that 😊 Christina
My Graffics dept. boss showed me how to shape a freshly washed brush with your mouth. Saliva sticks the bristles together.
You sound like the best person you need to sound like. TheCrafsMan. Nobody better to be than yourself. Keep at it!
Man, thank you for that. Much appreciated, my friend.
Paint made for miniatures will take your painting to a whole other level! The pigment is made extra small so the paint goes on much more smooth and even :)
I'm going to look into that. I've got some "Army Painter" stuff in my Amazon list now, thanks to another viewer. :D
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin I use army painter myself as well! Games workshop has some awesome premade washes too, and they dry up way prettier than homemade washes
I love your positivity and your humor. You make me feel like I'm not just watching someone on a video, but visiting with an old friend while he crafts. Be blessed. 🙏
PS Love the telephone - wish they were still like that! Looks very old and interesting.
Thanks, JE Lee! I'm going to show y'all what those old phones were capable of. Very interesting. :)
The free range chickens came out amazing!! You’re amazing, craftsman! Keep doing you!!!
Thanks so much, Mae!
If you use an emery board or a nail file with a little silver paint on, it'll scratch the paint into the surface. Good for doing damaged or scratched metal effects. Love the positivity of this channel
Thank you, Jay!
Just when I think you've made your best video yet, you make a better one!! Love this, and as soon as Beek Anderson shows up on etsy I'll be there to pick one up! Love your work, Love your videos. Stay cool.
Mannnnnn, Andrew! Thank you so much for this. Super encouraging, as always. And I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with one of these!
Im so happy I found this channel. After a bad week this lit up my heart. Thanks Craftman for being so delightful :)
Aww, I'm glad to help! Hope things get to gettin better for you!
Love your videos! Nothing you did was wrong! Hard to believe others critique videos, when its not their's. So rude!
You rock Crafsman! Having fun matters most and your endless creativity is inspiring!
Dude you killed me with that waterboy comment. I laughed so loud that people were staring at me. "Looking grimey" should be on a shirt. Love this channel and what you do.
Lol! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you didn't get too many weird looks! Thanks so much for watching!
Me and my friend found your channel yesterday while watching videos on how to print to wood, gotta say your videos are awesome and I love your positive energy! Definitely a Crafsman fan now. Continue to videos please! Oh and steady craftin 🙏🏼
I'm so glad you took a chance and are enjoying my videos! Thanks so much!
lol "I got the shaky shake " TFF, you should coin it, and put it on a T shirt. Edit , I wish you a lot of luck with the free-range chicken.
LOL! Glad you liked that, my man! Thanks for watching, and for the kind words.
You're a good dude, Crafsman. That space chicken looks even cooler than I thought it would be now that you painted it. Keep it going. Thanks for what you do.
Man, Lee... thank you so much! Happy you liked how it turned out!
I've been sharing your videos with my work, my friends, my family. Thank you for your time, every opportunity you take to reply to us is appreciated.
Thanks so much for spreading the word! I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos!
Bro! That's a wicked slick yard bird, my friend!
Mannnn, thank you! :D Glad you like it!
Glad I had my notifications on for your videos. So I could watch as soon as you upload!
I'm glad you did too! Thank you for checking it out. :)
CrafsMan I need a Free-Range Chicken in my life! I check your Etsy everyday, I don't want to miss it. Your videos brighten my day. Thanks!
Thanks, Cory! I like your enthusiasm! Early November, if we can get our ducks in a row. :)
Mr. CrafsMan, I love you. I'm not big on free-range chickens but I watched it anyways, because it's the CrafsMan!
Awww, well thank you! :D Means a lot to me. ;)
This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours but I already love you
Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy some of my other videos! :D
"Look at Earl Grey right there. Hello"😂😂😂😂
This channel is such a relief from all the constant drama. The way you go about making these light-hearted videos is a blessing.
So glad you enjoy what I do!
I paint with acrylics all the time and I don't believe any form of art has a "right way" keep on steady crafting Crafsman you doing great!
Thanks so much, Kristina! Good to hear that! :)
Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!!
Glad to hear that, Jacob! :D
You decently got that bob Ross feel. You don't sound like him person but I'm chilling feeling like I might actually get me some clay. I feel like my uncle is teaching me something. Your awesome bro.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate comments like this. Thank you for watching AND taking time to boost someone else today!
Craftsman you are awesome, the wife and I love watching you ....and I agree the free range chicken is an action figure "look at this."
You have put a smile on our faces and we just wanna say thank you.
Aww, thank you so much! This makes me smile. :) I really appreciate the support!
Thanks for replying to us! We really like what you do, so keep up the good work! 👍🙂
I've never done any sculpting before but, damn, your vids sure is inspiring me to start sculpting my own characters. I love watching these. Kudos! :D
I hope you do! Thanks so much for watching. :D
It is just funny how you say Etsy 😂 nice video Mr. Crafsman! I am hoping to make just like your stuffs..
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you do get going on making things!
You should make a whole world around Free Range Chicken. You can make a cartoon about the adventures of Free Range Chicken. I think you’re onto something my friend.
Thank you! Someone else mentioned "Spaceclucks". Y'all are clever with this stuff. :)
I think people say you sound like mr Rogers and bob ross because they’re both very wholesome. This is such a wholesome and creative channel.
Thank you so much, Leo! It means a lot. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
I've been waiting for this.
Hope you enjoyed it, Kayden!
Try using water to dilute the paint so when you paint it on the streaks dont show up as much, might take more layers, but the smooth finish is nice! (But the paint strokes dont look that bad from what i can see)
Great tip! Thank you for watching, and for helping me out! I bet I could also get hold of a better brush, which would help too. :)
I think you are absolutely fantastic. To do the work to make these videos, and choose to have a hand on every single one of these figures is truly inspiring. I can't thank you enough for putting these videos out, because it's such a pleasure to watch them. Thank you so much for all that you do, I'm taking a little time to send some of those blessings you send us right back your way, and know that i will try my best to pay it forward.
Jacob, I appreciate it so much, from the bottom of my heart. Like I said to someone earlier: Comments like this end up being a gift I get back from y'all.
@1:46 - of course it's an action figure. The action takes place in one of the greatest possible locations... one's own imagination!
I would like to know who the one person was who disliked your video. Because I love all of them
It was a chicken who was rejected by the Free Range Space Program.
What tickles me is with the past few videos, I can count on this one dislike in particular, AS SOON as a video comes out. If it's a 15 minute video, I'll get a dislike 5 minutes after the video is released. LOL! I feel like hometown is subscribed JUST SO he can dislike. :D But thank you to all y'all who LIKE my videos!
Courtney: L O L ! ! !
Mr. Craftsman I really do love and appreciate all the effort u and ur wife are putting into into each of these chickens! but could u also sell a couple of plain white ones so I can paint them myself after purchasing? If not it's okay I love the channel and all ur content
Also that voice is so soothing c:
They'll really ALL be plain white / DIY figures, my friend! :D This was just showing y'all one example of how I would paint one, but I MORE excited about how y'all will paint them. :D
@@TheCrafsMan Oh! My bad sorry c:> thank u again for everything Mr. Craftsman!
No problem, Yanz! I appreciate YOU!
That pinstripe on the suit was a nice touch! I'd never seen that technique before. You're too modest CrafsMan...Your painting skills are quite good. Nice job!
Well, I sure appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching! :)
I like that you did a thin paint wash. That always looks good. Weathering is so fun
It has to be the funnest part of painting for me. Second place goes to dry-brushing. :)
*Look at Earl Grey back there.*
I need NEED A CHICKEN, Craftsman!
I check your etsy every day, and I I just need one
We're trying, my friend! Hoping to release them soon....just waiting to hear back on some tools we need for packaging. Thanks so much for the support!
I appreciate your reply :) You're a rare person, Mr. Crafsmann. Thank you for your dedication and hard work. It really shows how much you love what you do.
Love seeing it all come together. If it clucks like an action figure and wears a jet pack like an action figure, then, in my book, it’s an action figure.
here’s my nice quote (tip?) of the day...
for any artist out there struggling to find your signature, the thing that sets you apart from the others. don’t stress or worry about it. it will come! it took me 5 years to find mine, and i’m still tinkering with it. so don’t stress too hard, YOU GOT THIS!
have a good day, and keep creating art
sorry if there’s any typos or grammatical errors. it’s been a long day, and I just wanted to spread those words of encouragement before I go to bed.
Mannn, good advice! Yes. Thank you for sharing this!
You sound like Mitch Hedberg.... I need to have you do the voicemail for my shop!
Check out his etsy in the description, you can get custom voice work from him
You can also use his patreon to support him as well as get a voicemail
When I first listened to the crafsman’s video reading of frog and toad, I immediately thought “mitch hedberg.” He’s a joy to listen to.
:D I forgot to mention Mitch Hedberg in the video. To be honest, that's one of the voices, going back and listening to him (I only ever saw him when he was alive, on TV talk shows) that I can honestly say, I can kinda see where people are coming from.
Thank y'all for looking out! I really enjoy recording voicemails and things for people. That has been a lot of fun. :D
I really wish I was as "not" gifted as you are.
I'm going to be one of the first in line for a free range chicken!! Always love your videos! Keep it up, Crafsman! Your voice is as easy on the ears as Sunday mornin'. Love it!
Aww, what a great comment! And I can't wait to send you a Free-Range Chicken!
I have to say your the best teacher I've ever had!!! I've learned more following this chicken from the beginning from anything I've read or watched by anyone else. Thank you
"Look at all those chickens"-dead memw

I like that one. Cracks me up. :)
Watched your whole free range chicken series before bed, boy you are relaxing and give me comfort man
this really reminds me of an Earthworm Jim type character. those washes add quite a bit of character. Another technique I have learned is to do primer, then do a black coat before putting any colors down and you can get some really nice crisp lines to edges. Plus you can still add the was later for that natural grime on figures. this is really inspiring! great job Crafsman!
Danny, that is a SUPER tip about laying down some black before colors to get nice edges! I'm appreciating all the tricks y'all are putting out there! And Earthworm Jim (as you might have seen from a previous video) is a favorite character of mine. I also really liked the design of Psycrow. :)
Absolutely love your videos. I usually watch them to relax. Your voice is nice and soothing. Thank you Crafsman for being you.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad my videos can help people. :)
GOGGLES!!!!❤️ I didn’t think the Free Range Chicken could get any better, but then came goggles!!😁❤️
:D Glad you liked that! I started not to do that, because I was like "Oh snap... what if everybody wants goggles with each of these?!?" but I decided to at least show people one idea of what's possible. ;)
Oh yeah, I can imagine you could create a LOT of work for yourself.😁They’re so great! It’s a good challenge for people to make them for themselves, though. Wishing you outrageous success!😊
MrCrafsman, I just can't say how happy I am for finding your channel, it has been the best youtube recommendation, thank you very much for this DIY Toy making you rock!
Wow. Thank you so much, Gerson! :D
Why has it taken me 2yrs to find this? Your engagement with the viewers is excellent, I picture you as a fantastic grandfather type guy. Good luck to you and your wife with your ventures 🙂
I wish i had your creativity. I can sculpt and mold and cast, but i can never think of original ideas. All ive done is make stuff based on existing brands. Your stuff is really neat and I love the style and humor behind it.
Well thank you so much! But I have to say - don't underestimate your creativity! You've got it - just got to maybe chase it and grab hold of it. Just let lose and see what happens without beating yourself up over it at first. Refine it later. Have fun. We're our most creative when we're like kids, I believe. :)
