As much as I like molding and casting parts, it's very satisfying to watch others do it skillfully. The CarftsMan is probably the MOST satisfying molder/ caster I've ever watched!

This man is a child at heart. Never change.
You're a very good teacher. Great for those of us who don't have anybody around to teach us this kind of stuff. Thanks.
Your Free range chicken got me looking into toy design, you show me a cheap and easy way to transfer my designs into copper plates and now molding metal. This is perfect for pieces in a game I'm looking to make. How you seem to have the exact guides to get through project roadblocks I have is beyond me. The only other video I could find on metal casting didn't show you how to make the mold and I couldn't be happier that my favorite personality is showing me. Thank you for everything you do Crafsman and Crafsmama. You're kind heart and loving words give me strengths I didn't think I had. You are a light in this world and your community is reflection of that goodness.

Something like that. But the video was over 20 minutes so I was like "This is good."

Crafsman, I want to thank you for inspiring me to start my own journey in a new hobby I've always been interested in: crafting miniature things. A few months ago I came across one of your videos by chance and since then I've watched every single one. Your videos have really encouraged me to try crafts for myself, so I went to my local dollar store, loaded up a basket, and finished my first project! It was definitely much more work, required more concentration and imagination than I originally thought, but was satisfying at the end to see the result. As always, I enjoyed your video and can't wait for the next one.

Thanks so much, Alpaca! My "Steady Craftin" income currently comes from KZread Ad revenue, Amazon Affiliate revenue, and (more recently) Patreon. Between those three, it's actually a nice income - just not enough to cover all of our bills/insurance/etc. Patreon in particular is in place to help mostly with an upcoming animated series, which will require some money to actually pull off. The other thing is figure releases (like the Free-Range Chicken). That actually provides a nice income - we do make a profit, after subtracting all the materials expense - but things like that take more time than all the rest of it. Also, I don't want people to get tired of situations where we release only a certain amount (that's as much as we can do on our own) and they sell out. :/ But, Lord willing, I'll keep at it in hopes of just the videos alone carrying us to a more comfortable place, income-wise. Thanks again!
