How to build a PUPPET from cardboard tubes!
Nothing new went up on The Crafsman Steady Craftin this week, so the workshop's back shelf did the talking. Leading it is "How to build a PUPPET from cardboard tubes!", posted six weeks ago: a simple puppet body made from cardboard tubing, with a homemade spring mechanism to work the mouth. It is drawing more daily viewers than anything else on the channel.
Right behind it is the spaceship, a set built from scrap wood, craft store foam and salvaged electronics. The description says it was made for podcasts or as a film set, and it leans on "greebles," the model-maker's word for the small bits of surface detail that make a hull look busy and mechanical. Further back, an older guide to painting soft vinyl toys keeps finding painters. It also works on classic Kenner Star Wars figures, according to the description, which comes with one practical warning: skip nitrile gloves and use thick latex.
The audience held steady. Daily views sat right at their usual level, about 42,000 for the week, and the subscriber count stayed at 622,000. Among similar craft channels, the big weeks belonged to I_thriftflip and PASSION To PROFIT, while Odin Makes kept a pace as calm as this one.
The man behind Crafsman keeps his name and family private, as his about page explains. The work goes out under the workshop's name, and this week cardboard and a spring were enough.
