Great topic. On a side note, I wanted to mention it was the first time I watched one of these videos in front of my cat. As soon as my cat heard CrafsMan talking, he stopped, dropped, and paid attention to the screen. I think he expected to be pet. Must have liked the mellow smooth voice and quite frankly, the fur-like qualities of CrafsMan's hair.

hey Crafsman. I love your content. I want to share a little hack with you. If you melt your petroleum Jelly it becomes brushable and easier to spread for a short period of time. I like to scoop some into a tin or jar and then stick that onto a candle warmer for a bit. The key is to keep it set on the candle warmer. EXTRA TIP: once you get it into the mold, you can run the lubricated mold over some mild heat to level things out a bit. I tend to be very conservative with the amounts. I hope this helps someone who needs it. Thank you for all you posting your knowledge on youtube. I've learned so much over the years because of it.

Your videos are awesome. As a part-time art instructor who is working with kids that often don't have the funds to buy "professional" art materials, I appreciate that you always encourage viewers to try a low-cost alternative. Again, your videos are truly outstanding, both from a didactic as well as an artistic standpoint.

This is a great idea! I used to make stamps with the little rubber letters, but this looks much better and easier. You can buy or make stamp pads, probably for less than $5, and get or make colored ink for them. The nicest pads have a smooth fabric layer on top that is tight, so that just the printing part of the stamp gets the ink. The plain felt pads work ok, but they get ink in the little grooves, too, and eventually the grooves get clogged up with dried ink.

i like you craftman. you're like the bob ross of crafts, man

crafsman is too wholesome and like nine of the videos i watched were accessible in price / alternative materials to make the techniques widely available to everyone

You, Sir, are an awesome human being! Thank you so much for your fun way of sharing how to do crafting. I just ran across your videos. I'm gonna watch them all.

Tip: Glue a print from your stamp to the top side of the stamp, in the correct orientation. Helps avoid silly mistakes, helps finding the right stamp if you have a drawer full. Old school stamps, the way books were printed in china for centuries: Copy your artwork onto tracing paper; glue the tracing paper to a (rubber) slab, back side up; looking through the paper at the artwork, carve away to make islands of th artwork. Remove the paper bits and stamp.

@tomsmith3045

There's a faster but slightly more dangerous version that we used to use in the 70s. Take your artwork, flip it upside down over a light table and trace the outline with a ballpoint pen. That gives you a reverse drawing. Then take the rubber stencil (or stamp) and wipe it down with gasoline. Immediately put the pen ink side of the drawing on the stencil, and rub it with a roller or wooden stick. The ink will transfer to the rubber. Then cut it out with a heavy duty x-acto knife. That works for stencils for stamps and for rubber stencils for sandblasting. Suggest not smoking during the operation.

You are one of my most favorite humans. What an absolute joy you are.

Very kind of you to say!

Always sand your new stamps with 220 grit sandpaper. Gently run it horizontally then vertically. It gives the stamp surface something for ink and paint to adhere to. If you use an ink pad, use the pad to ink the stamp. So you press the inkpad onto the surface not vice verse. If you are using paint, use a brayer to spread out your paint and thinly coat your stamp. This is good practice for any stamps commercial or handmade.

I was just watching a different Crafsman video when this one came up. Immediately hopped over here to see what you're cooking up. Love it.

My fave molding compound is Oyumaru, aka The Blue Stuff. It's a reusable thermoplastic that takes great detail, doesn't require mold release even if making 2 part molds, and sticks to almost nothing. It will destroy EVA foam but most other materials I've tried work fine.

The arming the chalk gun sounds were extremely satisfying.
