Origins
CraftSized dates all the way back to early 2013, when two friends, Tomas Eagle and Valli were creating a YouTube channel. They couldn't come up with a name no matter what they tried. but suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, Valli got the brilliant idea of naming it CraftSized. The name was inspired by the game Minecraft hence the "Craft". "Sized" was an inspiration from Sethbling's youtube series "Bite-Sized minecraft".

Humble Beginnings
CraftSized started out as an animation sketch channel, mainly focused around testing minecraft character rigs in Blender. The animations were all made by Valli, Tomas making a few gaming related videos on the channel, that were later removed. The channel didn't really get much attention at first, gaining about 1 subscriber every 5 days or so.

Popularity explosion
The channel really rose in popularity when Valli released a minecraft rig giveaway. It seemed like many people were asking for a minecraft rig at the time, and Valli (being the nice person he is) decided to release it to the world for free. To this day that video has 37,000+ views making it his most popular video. At this point the channel really got a lot of attention gaining about 10 subscribers daily. Tomas stopped doing 3D things and instead started focusing more on gaming related content, but eventually he stopped that too.

Video production rate grinds to a halt
Things continued to run smoothly for quite some time after that. In late 2014 the channel had gained 1,500+ subscribers. But Valli didn't enjoy making videos anymore. They were just taking up too much time. Eventually he resigned from YouTube leaving 1 last video called "goodbye". In this video he explains why he's leaving, and how he has other things to do besides YouTube. The comments were all along the lines of "No don't leave! :(" or "You've really helped me get started on youtube, thanks! We'll miss you!". Valli was glad to not receive any negative or hate comments, as they were mostly positive.

April fools spoof
On April the 1st 2015 CraftSized made a spoof video titled "I'm back". This was a mean trick that was soon regretted by Valli. Well it was funny while it lasted.
