Crafsman, you make me feel like I am sitting with an old friend, who is teaching me something so that we can just sit together later and enjoy our time together, doing that activity. Thanks again for expanding my interests.

[@eddvcr598]

@downtownscoot I like that. It feels like that for me too. Just sit down after a soul-crushing day at work to come home and share a nice time with an old friend.

[@TheKingaSwing]

Hi Crafsman, I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. I’ve spent the last 2 weeks sick and having to sleep on the couch, your videos have helped me fall asleep each night and for that, I’m very grateful to you. I’m glad you enjoyed Monster Clay, I know Arnold at Monster Makers put a lot of time into developing it. There was only one hardness and colour when I first starting using it, it’s come a long way since then. Have a great day!

[@JosephKeenanisme]

"9 times out of 5 I don't know what I'm gonna do." That's part of why I watch. Watching you is on par is sitting back with any of my creative friends in the shop and just shooting the breeze and saying check this out. Informal or unstructured does not always mean unprofessional or half assed. I'd rather watch a real person than someone stiff and scripted.

[@humblehombre9904]

You make me happy Crafsman. I would bet that the whole Craf-family is very happy! Luv ya, Crafsman! You bring out the happy kid. Thank you for that.

CRAFSMAN, A TALENT,IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY THAT THIS PLATFORM WAS MADE FOR!! ON ANOTHER TOPIC, APOXIE SCULPT TWO LITTLE JARS $30. CASTILENE A TWO AND HALF POUND BLOCK IS $40. I SUPPOSE IT ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE.. JUST SAYIN.. KEEP ON STEADY CRAFTIN!!

[@TheCrafsMan]

My friend, thank you! The kind words are so very much appreciated. And thank you for the pointer there about the price difference vs. amount. I want to be better at Castilene, but it probably has the biggest learning curve out of all the sculpting mediums I have. :) Still... it's what the pros use. So that says something, for sure. :)

[@valdeezycleaver]

your art style would lend itself really well to an animated series or video game. it's so unique and detailed and it carries really well across all your figures.

Not so handsome jack, (funny name btw) for me there’s not exactly a specific reason I suppose. We got rid of our last one and just never got a new one. Got used to using the stove and or a toaster oven when I had it. Now I just don’t have the space for a microwave in our current house. Some people believe microwaves cause medical issues or change the structure of food, but used properly they are supposed to be safe 🤷‍♀️

@@chriswillis4153 When my wife and I got our first apartment, there was absolutely no space for a microwave. The apartment after that didn't come with one and also didn't have much counter space, didn't want to waste it on a microwave. Lived there for 5 years. Now we have a house and could definitely fit one... but there's just no need. Also, I do agree with the user that said leftovers taste better coming off the stove or out of the oven.
