Crafsman you need to let that camera run on that rain and post a nice hour long video of rain sounds and your thoughts on life

[@dkburruss]

Nacthem YES!!! Great idea!!!

[@TheCrafsMan]

This has been mentioned a few times. I'm going to heartify this comment so that people can like up on it. If we get a good bunch of likes, I'm going to straight make y'all a video of just rain sounds. :D

[@thedangersofoxygen135]

Yes! The way you edit your videos that include your home is quite beautiful and poetic. And your voice is so chill and comforting.

[@tammygraham8722]

yes, that would be great! Rain on a tin roof, ahh the memories and moments that could produce.... :D

[@jenniferksummer]

GUYS! This is truly the most positive, loving group of commenters I’ve ever seen on a you tube video. So wonderful. Love the Crafsfam!

[@beardedemperor]

Actually, I'm a terrible, argumentative commenter in general. Still, I can't help but leave that at the door when Crafsman is speaking. He brings out the best in people.

[@TheCrafsMan]

When I get on here and start replying to y'all, it sometimes feels like I'm talking to the best of the best viewers on KZbin. Like if there had been a bottle of "Premium KZbin Viewers" that was poured out on my channel, but someone didn't read where it said "CONCENTRATED - ADD WATER (OR NEGATIVE VIEWERS)". So there's no dilution - just overabundance of Premium KZbin Viewers commenting all up on my videos. Eeeeeeevery once in a while there's a negative one. But not enough to detract from the overwhelmingly positive. This may have not been the best illustration, but it's how my mind does.

Jennifer - I'm so sorry for your losses. I just experienced the same thing plus one day I went out for a 15 minute errand and when I got back home, my dog had died. I believe the Lord puts us through these tough times to "anneal" us - as the Craftsman does to metal through fire to strengthen us for bigger things. God Bless and today Merry Christmas!

[@Vienamarie]

I really appreciate you narrating/walking us through your process of deciding how to decorate the pendant piece! "Should I use leaves? This nice apple? A thick cog? I can't decide, and therefore must use a question mark." Another sweet video, Crafts Man. Love your content, and I'm so glad SorrowTV shouted you out so many months ago!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Do you have a SPOON BOX now? It makes sense once you've seen it, but I never thought of that before. I could probably get fifty pounds of spoons by just going to the two or three thrift stores closest to me, this is a rich field. I really liked the part where he's inviting us to pick out a spoon from the box full. I have called this kind of material "Metamaterials" since they aren't RAW materials, they're already worked, and have some kind of story, and their own texture and so on. Our host is seeing them in a different way than the factory. As opposed to if you melted them down and cast something, for example. They keep some of their history. It comes to me just now that there are probably whole books about this idea and I'm just thinking about it here! Well, I got a lot out of the video about silver-soldering, so I'm up for any new production now. So, I guess I'll make something out of a SPOON, why not?

[@updownstate]

@@leonardpearlman4017 No need for spoons so far, but I have 1885 Oneida grapevine flatware so I have a stock if needed. I once saw wind chime made out all different forks, lovely and a lovely sound.

I've even bent thick stainless steel handles on this thing. If the plastic/delrin/nylon parts ever wear down, they sell replacements.

Hi Craftsman from a 71 year old, always learning, from across the pond in England. You look much like me, a human squirrel, not wanting to throw anything away because it might just come in handy one day.😅 I've got 50+ years of all sorts of stuff, or should I say junk, over three stories of the house and garage, my children and now grandchildren and their friends love exploring, to them it's like an Aladdin's cave where they can find something to fix, something to take apart, it doesn't matter if it doesn't go back together, learn how to use tools, most of all be inquisitive and try something new. I've got 5 grand kids from 18 - 9, all independent, like to solve their own problems, determined not to give up and most important not afraid to ask for help when they get stuck. Recent projects with them, doing some Lichtenberg wood burning, making a leaded window with cathedral glass the old way, restoring an old chiming mantel clock, sand casting some lead toys, teaching the younger two to TIG weld, taught the older ones a while ago, and so it goes on, I need 24 hour days and 14 day weeks, I know what a lot do with them would have the Heath and Safety folk have a fit but I make sure they are safe, the odd cut, burn't finger from a soldering iron or blood blister always teaches them to take care 😉. I've subscribed to your channel, though I'm not sure it was a wise thing to do,🤔 😊 they have gone through all your vids and now I'm having to gather together some bits and bobs for copper etching and they have selected a pile of junk from my scrap boxes and bits from my engine black museum ( bits from engines and gearboxes that had self destructed ) to make some, as they call them, treasures similar to your silver soldered masterpieces, though some may have to be welded. So keep up the good work, if just one or two folk try something new from your vids they're a winner, likewise if your vids create that inquisitive, I can do it, hands on, inventive spark in some children, it will set them up for a life of wonder. My spark came from mum and dad, when I was small we had very little money, if we couldn't afford something, mum or dad always found a way of making or altering something, it just takes that little spark and a bit of time to create a lifetime fire of awe and interest in children................. sadly, today, so many kids don't get the chance ! Take care.

[@TheCrafsMan]

I can't begin to tell you how much this comment means to me. I had a big smile on my face, and a steady nod of agreement as I read along. You sound like an outstanding dad/granddad!

Love the elephant idea - have seen a similar thing but an octopus design. Just wanted to share. Loads of love Craf’man!

You're creativity in being able to make so many amazing things with objects that most people would just overlook is just amazing.

[@TheCrafsMan]

I always appreciate your kind words, Todo!

[@sherrijohnson2685]

You are so amazing Mr. Craftsman! I truly enjoy all of your videos and “how to’s”. Your house must be filled with beautiful creations; I wish you lived next door to me because I would love to see them all. If you ever taught “in person” classes on your techniques and craft, I would be the first to attend. You are such a joy to listen to, your voice is so calming and warm. You make me laugh with your bright humor and I hope you continue to do these videos because I learn a lot from them. Thank you so much.

I've never heard of a keyfinder before but it's a great concept, and I LOVE that elephant!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thanks for watching! :D Elephant forks are for sure somebody else's idea. I've seen them done many times. :)

Crafsman I have been wanting to make things but I havent had the money to do any of it but you just showed me that I can make anything out of anything. I really love your channel thank you:)

[@dorisevans475]

Most relaxing diy video ever. Soothing voice. Informative. Thank you for sharing☺

[@mrkhan8468]

I’m from England what lovely relaxing voice you have ! I’m in my workshop tomorrow going to make the guitar man !🎸

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a great time out in the workshop! :)

[@richardlo1330]

thanks you again!! i want to offer you a tip. this is more about rolling little tapered bars of soft material. if you use your fingers, make sure you get more than one revolution as you roll it out. otherwise, you may end up with a flattened workpiece versus a round workpiece. it's a ceramic trick...i enjoy your humour and craftsmanship and attention to details. great show!

[@jelee5240]

Just made my day, I am going to watch this many times - such joy you bring Crafsman. Thank you so much. :)

[@TheCrafsMan]

So glad to hear it, my friend. Thank you!

[@ynnej001]

👏❤another great video. Spoon scoops sound @4:24 would make a nice wind chime. Few holes some fishing lure spinners & fishing line, the extra handle could be the hanger.

[@TheCrafsMan]

YESSSS! Would sound very pretty! Just rummaging through them on my workbench, they make the nicest jingling sound.
