- Can this be for real? With your help, yes indeed!
I animate with DragonFrame software and the USB controller.
The slider unit is by Edelkrone, and I'll cover using that in a separate video.

My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
Here's the deal: we love YOU. We love what you do, we love your content, most importantly we're here for YOU, no matter what you do. Whatever makes YOU happy, makes US happy! For example, everyone loves Bob Ross and watching him paint, but I can guarantee that if he had a show of him building something or even reading a book, as long as he talked to us and it still felt like Bob Ross, everyone would still love it. They're there for Bob much more than just the painting.
My point is: You do you and the rest will come :)
You nailed it!
Crafsman, you are like that special relative, we may not know you intimately, but we recognize your specialness and love you for it!
You are my beloved newly found brother!
I love you and welcome you to my family!
Whatever changes happen, I will be there for you!
Agreed! Watched plenty of Bob Ross tutorials. Never painted a landscape in my life. No regrets.
My sentiments exactly
Exactly this.
Yes-- this!
I love this channel. Crafsman, I hope you’re having a blast!
Same here!😄
I never cast molds, never did animation, never painted..... UNTIL I FOUND THIS CHANNEL. Crafsman, you have inspired me time and time again.
Yeah same me, i started seriously when i saw that lovely astronaut chicken
Was getting worried. Seriously. Thank you for all you do!
Take your time, we’ll be here.
Sorry for any worry! I sincerely appreciate your patience in hanging with me.
I stay pretty steady on these things but it's the "Gotta get an episode out" that I struggle with.
Ideally I'd like to put out smaller videos MORE FREQUENTLY. :)
@@TheCrafsMan We can wait don't worry plus there's always shorts?
Stress is a big one for me too. I think it comes with the CZcams territory. Getting better but it’s definitely something I need to actively work on and learn to overcome. Not an easy task but getting there 2 steps forward one step back. Sometimes 3, 4 or 5 back😜
Kind of along the same lines as watching Mr. Crafsman here, I have no interest in miniatures or making tabletop terrain but I find myself watching your videos often because the process and end result are so pleasing.
I've been around since you were a tiny channel with
Agreed he is the modern day Bob Ross.
you know how marvel movies always got a secret that makes you watch the credits? that’s how I watch steady craftin videos, the production value is bonkers, and it really is the little things that get me feelin alright about this workday ahead of me.
I don't care what you do, I come here to destress. Your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch. You could strap a camera to your head and narrate a walk through the city dump and I would listen for hours.
Welcome to 2022 Crafsman. You do you, baby!
Definitely keep the old videos! I still love to go back and watch them sometimes when I need some crafts advice. I'm looking forward to the new season of ANIMATION, though!!! I LOVE animation! Even if I didn't, I'm one of those people who MEANS it when I say that I'd be happy watching you do anything that you enjoy doing.
Also, hit me up if you need an animation buddy for any projects. Animation has always been a special interest of mine.
Me encanta la radio explosiva! I also love the fire still burning. Crafsman brah, you straight up crazy!
Man, you got a serious Lego collection. You even have a custom case for them. Perhaps an intervention is needed? Hmmm... Nah.
Nice fade out on the stress section of the video. That was cool. Me encanta!
The baby AT-AT running is mucho adorable, hermano.
PBS!
Steady, steady, steady, steady, steady.
Amazing work you vaquero cineasta!
Crafsman, as everyone said: we want you to be happy. The entire message of this channel is to explore, and learn, be creative and be good to eachother. Pursue whatever makes you happy, we will be here whenever and however you decide to post.
Jus my two cents, I love your instructional videos and often go back and rewatch them, I hope there will be more of them, but if there was only one or two a year and the rest of your videos were your own animations I'd still be a patron and a regular viewer. Your work stands for itself and I'm always delighted to see it.
Just be careful with the pastoral work on the back end, I know that being of service to others is the reason we were put here, but make sure that you have time to refresh and gladden your spirit too.
I sincerely appreciate this, Kevin!
@@TheCrafsMan "No greater hath man than this..."
I can't imagine Crafsman being stressed out. He seems so chill and his videos are so relaxing. Always great content and very inspiring. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Awesome. Love dragonframe. Btw if you paint the stands you are using to hold the ‘puppet’ up for stop motion, a chroma green or blue, that would give you another option for removing it from the background.
That is an excellent idea! The closest thing I had was some translucent green Bionicle parts, but I never once considered I could straight PAINT the parts chroma green. :D Thank you for suggesting this!
@@TheCrafsMan sometimes I use chroma green gaffers tape - if the stand doesn't need to move a lot. I don't wrap the tape around.Instead I just lightly tack the tape on the visible side of the stand, makes it easier to remove and move if needed. not sure what kind of paint you'd need to use on your stand...spraypaint?
@@judgeworks3687 We used to use chroma painted cardstock/foamboard in front of our rigging. For smaller shots though, tape is perfect!
SNAP! Thank you all for the additional feedback! I've experienced green spill on larger backdrops (like my green construction paper "screen" used in the Lord of the Rings video - LOL) and generally combat that using distance, so I'll definitely pay attention to how much spill we get from the rig itself. Good call!
@@TheCrafsMan yeah, definitely may not be useful when shooting glossy,shiny,metallic objects. But if matte and non reflective, could be handy. Love your channel (and I'm a patreon). Take care.
You make content and we'll watch it. You have a mind that works in ways that some of us could only dream of. Your work is great to watch for those that just want to watch, and inspiring to those that want to make.
I still love the older videos...there might be better ways to do things now, but some folks might not be able to do the latest and greatest. The old ways are fun, too!
I took a burnout for me to figure out what you've figured out. I'm really glad you're doing the backburner projects before burnout hit, because recovery is so hard and often tied up with financial obligations. I started coming here for the crafting videos, but stuck around because you're so wonderful. Your voice is calming, your videos are always entertaining, and you pour so much heart and character into everything you do that we all feel loved and like we're friends or family, or at least close neighbors.
We love you. Run wild and free.
That camera controlled stop motion shot of the radar dish made me go 'wow!' out loud. That looked fantastic!! Can't wait to see what 2022 brings, no matter the content!
Yeah this was great!
Every Single Time I watch a steady craftin Vido I find myself feeling inspired, entertained and relaxed. It's like going to a small but very cozy barbershop where your favorite barber greets you, seats you and takes time to talk to you and discuss things as he/she cuts, styles and or shaves you.
It's that same relaxation that makes you feel so welcomed. I love this channel and while I get a tingey bit envious of his equipment. I absolutely love to watch, listen and allow myself to get inspired. I too sincerely wish crafsman do what he loves and I for one will be here for it every single time.
I'm happy for you, Crafsman! I'm so excited to see you cut loose, and follow that passion! It feels like watching a beloved teacher pass on the last of their lessons as they step into the next phase of their life, but still encouraging those former students to keep going, and to never stop learning themselves. It's gonna be a good year, friend.
You are an inspiration. Not only because you're following your passions, but because you're doing right by yourself. Not only that, you're brave enough to put it out there. You've helped me in similar struggles and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you for being you!! It takes so much effort to create, so much more to care, and you're doing both! I'm looking forward to the stories you're going to tell.
This is amazing! Also, that foam/lined organization box is FOR REAL.
This is great news. I'm into making stuff, but without much overlap with what you do. I watch just because you are a lovely personality, I just want to see you doing what makes you happy. The fact that you are interested in it makes me interested in it.
I don't think I've ever said it in a comment, but I definitely watch the video because of you Crafsman, not whatever you happen to be doing (which I do love). It makes me personally really happy to hear you're going to be doing what you want!
Your videos are a win-win for me. Entertaining and therapeutic.
I've tried a bunch of crafts thanks to your videos and all of the effort you put in, and I've gone back to ones I tried in the past too. Your channel is also a haven during hard times. Thanks for everything over the last few years, and here's to all the videos to come!
That ending credit scene was beautiful, that whole video was beautiful. It was Like that first hint of spring. I can feel a beautiful change coming!
My favorite YT channel I've found in over a decade. Bar none. You are gifted in every facet of entertainment. You will definitely have your door being kicked down for a TV show any day don't jump for the first opportunity go for the best one, best contract, and best pay out. You are one of a kind and for that never sell yourself short because it is remarkable how entertaining and unique you are.
At 10:50 I thought I was in a horror movie sequence with the slow zoom and a hand puppet saying “steady” over and over again. Man I love this channel!
Watching you be silly, hang out in your shed, make toys and craft stuff is uplifting and relaxing. I craft a bit myself and you keep me company while i wait for glue or paint to dry. Keep on steady craftin' and we'll keep on steady watchin'.
Hey craftsman! My hobbies as a maker include embroidery, painting and pottery. But you're my favorite maker channel, because I love to see what YOU love to do. Whatever you work on, I'm always interested and excited to see it. I'm really really excited to see what's coming down the pipeline in the future for this channel because whatever your vision is or whatever shifts in interest artistically and creatively you might have, I'm here for them! You're the most positive channel around and I love you for it.
One of my favorite channels is DoubleBoost from John Mills. After watching him for many years, rarely does he do something particularly new or unusual, but I like spending time with him. I can watch him cutting threads or brazing a broken casting all day long. He is delightful. Same goes for you, CrafsMan. It's spending time with someone whose company I enjoy, while they do something they love. That is time well spent. We all change as we grow, so you go right ahead and grow in the direction that feels right. I'm pretty sure no matter what that direction happens to be, lots of us will still be delighted to spend time sharing it with you. Sincerely. All right!
This video made my heart so happy. From watching and learning how to print on wood on that early video to watching and learning all of the amazing animation. You've made my inner animator so happy. I hope to join patrion soon as I can afford to.
Can't wait to see what your making
I'm glad you aren't giving up on toys. Because I want to do the same thing, albeit a different type of toy. But your journey has helped my on my own journey.
I also like to make animation and other stuff. I feel a bit of a kindred spirit with you, and your videos are such an inspiration! 😊
I am in the camp of not doing the things that you show on the youtubes, but I could watch paint dry on a screen if you are telling stories, horrible dad jokes, whatever. you have a calming personality with a great sense of humor that makes people want to interact with you if only by watching your adventures. Thank you, I appreciate what you do. By coincidence, I am sporting my Craftnation presents shirt today. So happy days!!!
This is awesome Crafsman, I've watched your videos for a long time, I'm a 3D Animator full-time and I like to watch your videos while I work to relax and inspire me, now that you'll be doing animation full-time it's even better!
Glad to see you are back I hope you and your family are all doing well and healthy.
Best intro yet, bro!!! Had me rollin'! 😂😂😂
I love you, Crafsman! You've given me so much wholesome enjoyment, man. You deserve to be happy, no matter what you wanna do.
We're here to watch you. You're the one we love. Whatever you make as a byproduct of being you is just icing on the cake!
You're infinitely precious, already. God loves you, no matter what. And so do all your friends, out here.
We all just want you to be happy, man! 😊
God bless.
I love making and I’ve learned about a lot of crafting skills because I wanted to watch a Crafsman video rather than because that technique looked like my style. I love you. Thank you for doing what you do.
I think I could watch videos for just about any random thing as long as it comes from you CrafsMan. I am excited to see what you do with your lego animations and whatever other projects you have planned.
Happy New Year to you CraftsMan. Always looking forward to your content :D
Take as long as you need to make your videos, I'm always looking forward to them!
I'm all for this. I just enjoy watching and listening to you speak on the things that you enjoy. Grateful to be along for the ride in such a brilliant imagination. See ya next vid!
I’m so excited for this new year of your videos and interests crafsman!
I just wanted to say that I watch your videos for your personality, but also to learn. I have a lot of your same interests. I'm an engineer and your videos are how I find methods for engineering and crafts projects I have in my head. Then, the stop motion is also an interest of mine. Some of your videos, I just skip over and don't watch because I'm not interested. Some, I watch anyways just for your personality. You got quite a few great things going here, and they're not gonna go away anytime soon. I love it. Keep steady craftin, or whatever else you wanna do. LOVE IT!
It's true, Crafsman. I also don't create the same kind of work you do, I am an oil painter and I draw, but I watch because I love your personality and style of teaching. You put a lot of heart and time into your videos and it shows. Please do take care of yourself first and foremost, it is the most important thing. It's so easy to get burnt out doing creative things, sometimes I wouldn't even notice how burnt out I was until I would get terribly sick and be forced to stop working. I hope you can find a good balance. I love what you do.
So, so, so happy for you Crafsman. Been following the channel for a couple years now, found it during a real low point in my life and I've been rebuilding myself since then, what you gone and done is make a dang avatar that helps so many people - myself included - just by talking about and making and sharing the things and people you love. Bless you, you've blessed us time and time again. Keep on
We Love you CrafsMan!!! Proud of you and excited for Your 2022 content plan!
Super excited to see more of this content it is all good just do what you enjoy!
Really looking forward to your animations, they look like so much fun! Thanks for sharing with us, hope you have a wonderful week.
Love your videos they are amazing and you seen like such a great person ! Any videos you decide to make I’ll be ready to watch
I love and appreciate the hard work and creativity that you put into your projects and videos. Work on what you love, and we will love it too. Thank you! 😀
I’m so glad I found this channel recently, so many great videos!
Absolutely love the new direction! I hope all the animation work is as rewarding for you, as it is for us enjoying your videos!
I seriously can't wait for all the animation videos. Do what you want to because I'm here for it all.
Seeing this channel grow and change from early videos has been awesome, and I cant WAIT to see what comes next!
Sounds amazin’ and I support you in your new vision and adventure!
I am so excited for the next chapter of Crafsman! I am looking forward to see more of you doing what you love, it's why I'm here!
New season! We love that you are having fun and learning new things. You inspire me to work more creatively.
I appreciate what, how and why you do what you do. Let the "when" be when it is. Goal setting is good, knowing when to relax the goal is superb! I'll expect your content when I see it...
Your show really introduced me to the creative side of YT. Your tutorials were always inspiring, but it was your art and personality that drew me in the most. I’m happy to see you do what you want and at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Can’t wait!
Any videos you make I'm sure will be interesting and I for one will be tuning in. I totally understand the pressures you must be under.
Looking forward to anything you make Crafsman. Many of my favorite parts of your videos are the animation and your comedic aspects. Make whatever you want we’ll be right here ready to watch.
i am really excited for what you are starting to do this will be very interesting. i have always have had and wanted to try stop motion but just have not made it happen yet so i am going to really enjoy what you are working on now. have a great one and i look forward to the future videos.
Your animations look great, so much potential!! Great to see that you are doing something you like, I think anything that you do with passion will be entertaining to us.
I stumbled upon your channel just last week and fell in love! You’re an enjoyment to watch.
Keep on Crafsin’
Love your work so much, no matter what it is. I always come away inspired.
I really enjoy you for the good energy you put out here. Your videos always put me in a better mood no matter what you’re doin! I really hope you and your family have fun building Lego sets together for your new animation arc 😁
Yes.
Thanks for everything you do, looking forward to seeing what comes of this new direction you have chosen. I am excited!
My favorite videos are the ones when you are just truly in the zone and having a good time. I can’t wait to see where you go this year and I’m so excited to be along for the ride.❤️
Crafsman, thank you for your channel and all the work you put into it. You always inspire me. I look forward to each new video like it’s mini-Christmas.
Really looking forward to seeing your own passion projects. Some of this has to be for you!
Preach!
I love your animations and characters you bring to life. Especially your voices. Keep it up love it all
I enjoy this channel so much! To see a CZcamsr like you is so amazing, I’ve been watching for almost 2 years now and whenever a video comes out I get so thrilled and ready to learn with you and to be entertained. I’m happy you’re working on your stress. Someone like you shouldn’t be stressed
Crafsman! I'm so excited for where the channel is headed in the future!! I recently began working on my very 1st animation, and it's so fun! I'm low-key terrible, but it's super fun.
Love y'all!
I saw your Lego Blacksmith house! I am so envious, Crafsman!
I'm also very glad to see you getting more comfortable with doing your own thing on your channel. Looking forward to seeing the outcome of all the hard work you're putting in on this animation thing. Thank you for everything, Crafsman!
Man...that AT-AT looks so happy! Glad you're enjoying yourself, Crafsman. Watching you do cool stuff that you get a kick out of has always been the main draw of the channel for me.
Hope you are well. Love the channel, it's your ministry, and best wishes 😁 Thanks for bringing so much joy and inspiration to people ❤️
Hello my friend, I'm Brazilian and your channel inspires me in every new video! I've already shown your channel to several friends and created a network of Brazilian fans, when a new video comes out we spent the night watching it together! Brazilians love your channel. If any American fan can make the subtitles in English because some words we don't understand, it would help us a lot. Congratulations and success always! 😍
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment!
I apologize for the lack of subtitles on most of the videos. We recently had someone volunteer to go through (starting with most recent and working backwards) making subtitles, which turned out great. But they've had to move on due to work changes, so the ball is back in my court. I will look into the subtitle services and see how that works - it might be economical enough to do for videos going forward (but hopefully the people at the subtitle place will understand what I'm saying. LOL!)
Thank you for the honest and constructive feedback! And thank you (and friends in Brazil) for watching! :D
I always enjoy your videos, and from one LEGO animator to now another, I look forward to seeing what you create!
Keep steady craftin' yourself! I get a ton of great ideas from your presentations. Even when it's something I might never do, you're fun and RELAXING to watch. Thanks for your channel!
I’m so proud of the work you’re doing and grateful for the parts of it that you share with us. Know that I and many others will continue to support you on Patreon and whatever replaces it, not because we want videos, but because we want you to have the freedom to keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you!
Dude, your creativity is off the charts. People who don't craft who watch are watching because you're very good at what you do, and on top of that, you have a likeable character that you portray which makes your videos infotainment. Humility is a great virtue, but don't let it hold you back. Keep up the awesome work.
you create some amazing and approachable content. I think you are the Bob Ross of crafting. your enthusiasm paired with the pragmatic way you approach each project makes us all feel like we could do this too if we wanted. Excited to see what you do in 2022!!
Keep up the great work, no matter what it is. Take your time on these projects. Don't stress yourself out. Each video is worth the wait. Take care of yourself, CrafsMan. And have a happy new year.
Crafsman, WE love YOU. Do what your heart desires, I’ll always watch with excitement. I’ve been hooked on your channel for years now. I’m just glad you’ve kept it going. You’re fo real my fav channel on CZcams.
That intro had me dying! 😁😁😁😂😂
I love watching your evolution regardless of where it takes you. It has truly been one of the best things about CZcams the past few years. Seriously…. no exaggeration.
Stress can kill,
It’s been a rough few years, don’t want to make this about my own problems but I spent the last two years living at the hospital….
Hardest years ever,…I would retreat to my truck and keep a playlist going until I could rest my mind. before going back in hospital. Two years straight. And your videos gave me a bit of relief on a lot of days where I really had wished I was dead.
watching your enjoyment of projects helped me a lot, you and your whole community are so positive, and it helped me care for my mom in her last days
Regardless of good times or bad…..Watching you evolve and grow your experience has been a real treat! And it will be a blast watching you no matter what you choose
Crafsman, AvE, big Clive….be my top 3.
I don’t remember another creator who brought me as much joy and entertainment.
You do you crafsman! That’s what we are here for.
By the way….
I love that colorful outfit.
Very 1991 David Ike style.
You could call it “Godhead chic”
😂😁
sorry couldn’t help myself
You, your team (family), and community are just the best! :) Few things bring me as much laughter and smiles as your videos.
I'm so happy you're doing some of the fun things you've wanted to get into.
The old tub of Legos really is something that everyone has, huh? Glad to see I'm not the only one!
On a more serious note, I am very excited to see what you will do next, Crafsman - animation, toy manufacturing, restoration, heck, even shoe shining - as long as it's Crafsman Certified™, it's gonna be a great watch!
Even if it has nothing to do with wristwatches!
The crayon in the box felt so wonderfully familiar to my experience with lego boxes too!
Been watching since the beginning. I just enjoy watching you do what you do. I've done a couple of the crafts on here, but I watch your videos for the entertainment and comfort the videos bring. And because I like you. Hope you take care of your health and take your time with everything. Can't wait to see what you do next!
You inspire me, CrafsMan! I hope that someday I’ll be able to make this same kind of change in my life. Keep on… steady bein CrafsMan! Love you!
You’re an inspiration. So beyond happy to watch you grow the last few years. Hope you and your family stay safe and healthy during these times.
I have watched your videos for the past year or two, and while your figure making techniques are what hooked me, it's been the quality, the humor, the personality and your creativity that set you apart. There are several techniques of yours that I have adopted in my own making projects, but there are also many that I do not see myself attempting any time soon, for a myriad of reasons. But, I enjoy your posts, regardless, and look forward to them each week, just to see what you're up to and to see the creative process unfold in new ways. You just keep on doing your thing crafsman, you will have support, one way or another. Thank you, sir and God bless.
Crafsman, this is probably my favorite channel. Your videos are always refreshing in a world filled with stress and I thank you with all my heart for doing what you do.
Your a large inspiration for me to keep learning and trying new things. Do what you love and keep trying new things.
It's fascinating to watch someone who does things I never even heard of or thought of ever trying. I also love to watch people who are generous with their skills and knowledge and while they are skills I might not ever attempt, I always learn something which is the best part. So you are a combination of those things AND you are fun to watch and your voice is soothing, I just enjoy all of it. Just keep doing you, don't stress over the rest.
This was great! Can't wait to see your new season!
