I had a really happy feels.

[@dantheman8862]

Crafsman clearly has an ASMR crossover audience and it's cool to see him targeting both audiences at the same time. Brilliant!

[@struanpeat5116]

I think that's genuinely how he talks, not a voice he puts on

[@pitmasterj5387]

I was originally here because it gave me an ASMR vibe and it was relaxing and now I’m still here and I’m learning stuff

[@socialist-strong]

i think the asmr audience has been with him for a long time, at least i have his videos have as long as i can remember had this peaceful and relaxing tone

I am seriously considering trying photography/videography because of you, Crafsman. You make it look so appealing and chill. No fussing about "correct", just enjoyment and outcome.

[@TheCrafsMan]

My man, go for it! :D I'm tempted to do a video about manual photography (no auto-exposure) because it disheartens me when people are apprehensive about trying it, but there are SO many new creative possibilities that open up. I hope you do move forward!

I have some of those exact same little wind up robots !! I thought they were really cute, back in the '80's, and bought some. I've always loved them, and saved them, along with TONS of toys and craft supplies, just like the CrafsMan has!! The one who falls down and rights himself is called "Acrobot". I recently discovered The CrafsMan and have been binge watching these videos for a few days. I've been doing this same kind of stuff for decades. I love models, dioramas, kit bashing, sculpting, mold making, casting custom parts, painting, drawing, photography, glass blowing, costume and prop making, and I love all the stuff the CrafsMan does! I love his workshop, with all the old toys and figures! Kinda' looks my MY studio, and my basement workshop! Great channel. AWESOME creations!!!
