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 :)

I started coming here for the crafting videos, but stuck around because you're so wonderful.

Stress is a big one for me too. I think it comes with the KZbin 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😜

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!

[@judgeworks3687]

@@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?

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!

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! 😍

[@TheCrafsMan]

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

Every Single Time I watch a steady craftin Vido I find myself feeling inspired, entertained and relaxed.

Crafsman, I would like to tell you what chu doin, and listening to your voice, it makes my heart happy. Personally, I am a woodturner and a blacksmith, but I gather my ideas from all over, like brain seeds. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us. I am praying for your wellness and well being. Much love, steady crafting.

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 KZbin 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

Seeing this channel grow and change from early videos has been awesome, and I cant WAIT to see what comes next!

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!!
