2 of the best yt creators getting allong. Love to see it. Both of you have been huge inspirations in my creative life over the last few... years? Can that be right?!? It must be.
My entire life all I wanted to do was work with wood in some capacity whether it be my profession or just a hobby. Well, all I heard my whole life was "You're afraid of saws, so you'll never be able to do it" which is true, I am terrified of cutting fingers/hands off, but I also knew how much I wanted to do something. So I got over it, and started building things. I discovered an unrelenting love for making things out of wood, especially lathe-work. All it took was that initial push, and that was that. I discovered something I truly enjoy doing.
This made me mist up a bit, especially the part about those of us who've been in the valley having a better appreciation of the mountain top. Crafsman, you are pretty much a bodhisattva or something.
My favorite thing is when he trolls people with the “do you like Star Trek figures” holding up Star Wars figures. It makes me laugh every time and it’s not the first time he’s done it. I’m sure he likes knowing that it’s fun poking at someone’s obsession with things. If this is a character he’s doing and it’s all pretend I’m still in because these are some of the most calming videos to watch and there’s always something great to take away from them even if I’ll never do the craft he’s talking about.
;) I enjoy picking at folks, and I think more lately people are gettin on board with it. Glad you're pickin up what I'm puttin down, my friend! Thanks for watching!
@@TheCrafsMan As someone who’s written the official guide to Star Trek the animated series… I laugh every single time! Even though I occasionally make a living with Star Trek I think people need to not take everything quite so seriously!
I've never understood the animosity between "Trekkies" and those who like Star Wars. I like both myself and don't see why they can't coexist in someones mind. I mean.... Star Wars was along time ago in a galaxy far away and Star trek was in the future (although we're catching up. We've done already passed the point in time when Khan was supposed to have lived and been put on board "Botany bay") so it's not even like it has to be alternate universe stuff.
I don't know if you realise how much of an inspiration you are to so many people, both creatively and mentally. Your videos are like therapy and education all rolled into one. You should have been a teacher, the world needs more people like you. Keep on keeping on.
I feel sad that Crafsman removed some of his older videos. I miss the video of Crafsman telling us not to drink rusty vinegar water cause its not sweet tea.
I need to fix and re-upload those. Thank you for the encouragement! :D For anyone who's interested, here are some reasons they have been taken down: - Too much personal/location info revealed. - Sound level WAY too quiet. - Amazon Affiliate violation. (Did you know you can't say "Thank you for using the Amazon Affiliate links to help the channel"? I had video removal requests due to this. You simply must stick to using the standard disclaimer in the description. I just wanted to thank people. LOL.)
@@TheCrafsMan Thats a shame about people trying to find out where you live. I miss those pretty neat historical stories of the regions around where you lived (not going to mention which ones but one involved cows), as well as some amusing anecdotes. It's okay. I prefer to think of it as a conversation you had with your viewers that's lost to time.
The Crafsman Biscuit Recipe: - 2 c. all purpose flour - 1 Tbsp. baking powder - 1 Tbsp. sugar - 1 tsp. salt - 1/3 c. cold butter - 1 c. milk 1. Preheat oven to 425' 2. Whisk together dry ingredients. 3. Use a box grater to shred cold butter into dry mix and work evenly. 4. Stir in milk until just combined 5. Turn dough out onto floured surface and fold a few times 6. Pat dough out evenly and cut out biscuits (use a glass if you don't have a cutter) 7. Shake off extra flour and place on baking sheet. (I use a gresaed cast iron pan) 8. Bake until they begin to brown (13-15 min).

You got .99 cent burgers AND a faygo? That's the high life right there. When I grew up we got a .69 cent bag of egg noodles to split between three people. And water from the tap to drink. (Sometimes we saved the water used to boil the noodles cause it had some flavor in it) First time I ate anything from a fast food restaurant was after I got my first job/paycheck.
9:37 - My favorite part was when you were talking about wearing gloves because you don't want the glue or something to stick on your hand, you took off the glove and there was the fleece hand :D
Crafsman: I'm a senior who often doesn't get started when I should because things might "hurt", so this video is just the shot in the arm I need to refer to when I'm tempted to stay in bed all day.. Thank you !!
I’m still young, but I’ve known enough elderly folk to know that things get a lot harder to start when your body works against you. I’m trying to get into the habit of starting things even when I’m scared NOW so I can keep doing it when I get older. I really admire older folk for doing all they do regardless of their bodies. I know you’re all still young inside, like me. And I believe in you!
I didn’t mind the whispering, it was very comforting, but your professional voice is great too! However you decide to run the channel I will still be here because you are an amazing human being. Have a great day, friend!
Agreed, the whispering in a way reminded me of Bob Ross' soft take on his presentations. He was a gentle soul much like how you are in these videos. Also I loved that explanation about the Crafsman persona. As someone who had creative people in my life no longer here, it was rather touching.
So glad you won the fight! Keep that determination going! The world needs you! We're glad you're with the rest of us Crafsman fans. Chillin and gettin our craft on!
I told him about this comment and he said "Mannn... I don't know... mannnnn..." (he's smiling real big as he's saying all this) "I don't even keep my Instagram updated. Mannnnnn....." I could tell he was very encouraged by this by how much he was smiling. :D He's just knowing he probably wouldn't be able to keep up with regular videos. Thank you for the encouragement! I'm gonna keep nudging him towards it. He already knows I want him to take over Steady Craftin. LOL!
@@TheCrafsMan I hope you read this, Mr. Crafsman. But maybe he doesn't need to have his own channel. Maybe he can make the occasional video as a guest on your channel. That way, he wouldn't have to have the responsibility of keeping up his own channel and we'd get even more content. And you could take the occasional break if you wanted to. Cool, right?
Today especially, on a Monday, after a week of a couple videos kind of flopping... I really needed to hear I shouldn't compare myself to others. Thank you. I was having a really hard time today. 🥪
It really does a lot for me to read this. I'm disheartened for you that things have gone that way, but I'm so encouraged by you and truly appreciate your tenacity.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm hiding in the bathroom at my shop for a bit. It's been an awful Monday, everyone but me in my shop is out with Covid and it's so cold that I've got road service calls piling up to de-gel and de-ice trucks ontop of a shop full of broken trucks. This video is exactly what I needed on multiple levels lol
@J. Adam Wegs thank you for coming to the rescue of my fellow drivers even if they didn't say it, I can promise you that the appreciation was there. Just think about the fact that this crisis will pass, winter will end, but sadly I'll still be driving. Dreaming about the day I'll get to park my truck and finally get to do the steady Craftin I truly want to do with y'all....it just won't be before you get to thaw out and get aome help in your shop.
Crafsman, somehow you manage to be a highly skilled creative inspiration, a wise old friend and my silly little nephew at the same time ... whatever I need, you’ve got it goin on ! And it restores my faith in humanity everytime I watch
The biggest piece of advice that I think I've ever worked out for myself, which I also see in Crafsman, is "Think like a child." Remember what it was like to be that kid with unbound imagination.
There's that quote attributed to Thomas Edison, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." If you don't try to do something (and dedicate yourself to it's practice), you never get to see what might come from it.
Mannn, you're so welcome! And thank YOU for making it! I HAD to get that thing! :D P.S. Crafsmama asked if I should include the link to it, but I thought I had got one of the last ones available. Let me know if I should still link your Etsy shop, though! I'd be glad to!
Crafman never worry about your voice. Your voice is one of the things that keep me coming back when I need a relaxing video to watch. It's always fun seeing what you're making and I look forward everytime for the next video keep it up.
Thank you for putting out your content and thank you to all your patrons. I can't afford to support you financially sadly, but you've done so much for me in terms of making me see there's still kindness in this world. Much love to you, craf mama, and all the patrons and those reading this.
Hey Brin! Please know I appreciate THIS RIGHT HERE a ton. The kind words go a long way with me. And I 100% understand not being able to support financially - no worries at all on that. I'm grateful that you WATCH the videos, and that you take time to boost with positive words!
This video was just what I needed. I've been unmotivated to do anything since I lost my little best friend of 9 years. I'm in that valley right now but I'll get back to the mountain top.
I REALLY needed this video Mr. Crafsman. My GF of 2.5 years broke up with me because she lost "the spark" and lost feelings for me. And listening to you fight sad/depressing things and to keep moving forward. It just makes me feel like there might be a light at the end of what I'm feeling. Thank you so much!❤
Chris, I'm sorry to hear that. To hear that this little video is of some help to you is a major (major!) deal to me. So I want to thank YOU for taking time despite your disheartening situation to be an encouragement to someone else today. Wishing you all the best, my friend.
Hey Chris, just wanted to say that it's worth fighting through. Been there before and there absolutely is a better side and better days coming your way. Hang in there and know that you are loved and supported
"And so my advice is to remind you that while you down here in the valley to go on ahead and look foward to that mountain cause you know it's coming. And unlike other people, you gonna be the one that's gon to appreciate that mountain because you been down here in that valley." I think I needed to hear this. Thank you for all you do.
You've become my personal therapist and it's working! I've been crafting like crazy since I found your channel. It had been almost 2 years of me being uninspired/motivated. Thank you!
I’m a patreon patron, and at this point I’d pay Crafsman to just exist and have a nice day and make some videos when he’s ready. Edit: omg, thank crafsmama for sharing her recipe! We’re so lucky!
You play with your toys like you are a child, while giving us the wisdom of an ancient sage. I love this channel!! You reminded me today, that you can't wait till everything is perfect to get started. Just do it! Thank you Crafsman😊🐝❤
Still waiting on the 2 hour video stream of the view from craftsman's workshop on a rainy day. Or a sunny day with the birds around. There's a whole crafsman Spotify album of ambient music/sounds to fall asleep to, just waiting to be recorded.
I like it when you whisper, no matter what the others say. Its so relaxing! Dont worry about your voice being raspy or whispery (pretty sure I just invnted that word), we all appreciate it anyways, because we can learn abput interesting things like action figures and relax at the same time!
I understand the hand thing. As a female, I have always felt that I have large hairy manly hands. Cuts and calluses on them always. My husband reminds me that they are hard working hands. 👍
Won't lie crafsman, that "are you holding yourself back because you are comparing yourself, do they have decades of experience, how long they been doing this?" thing hit close.
You probably hear this all the time but Crafsman, you are so much more than just an instructional channel. Even when you aren't you dropping your nuggets of wisdom your mere presence is therapeutic
I recently came across your channel. After watching a couple of your videos I had to subscribe. Awesome content. After watching this video I have to comment on the gloves. You do you. If your hands bother someone because they are worn from years of work and use, thats their problem not yourse. Thats character, shows character. Your content is what makes your channel, not the condition of your hands. Keep that creativity flowing.
Thank you, I needed the parted about not waiting to feel better before starting. I have watched your work through some tough times and they helped me get to sleep when I was full of worry, regret & loneliness. Things are a lot better now but I still enjoy the craftsmanship and effort you put in production. Thank you.
I still fall into that if I get to sculpting or painting. It's almost like I can't help it at that point, because I get into this relaxed, introspective state. :)
It is weird indeed. And I find myself on some days feeling anxious when things are going SO WELL. "I have NO reason to feel this way!", I say. So I fall back on what my wife reminds me: Focus not on how you feel (it comes and goes) but on what's real.
Thank you, Crafsman, Crafsmama, and Crafson! You show us that the world isn't necessarily as complicated as we make it. Sound advice, good cooking, and leaning into it and finding our own uniqueness can really improve our world. :) Lookin forward to that rainy day when you answer more questions. :)
CrafsMan, thank you for sharing your words of wisdom and encouragement. You have no idea, but your words about motivation and creativity were exactly what I needed to hear right now. You're a gift to this world sir and I hope you know you make so many lives better just by being you and putting yourself out there. Thank you!💜
@TheCrafsman, Thank you for making your incredible talent and kind heart available to us for inspiration and comfort. I wish there was a way for you to experience how full my heart feels when you speak your wisdom. You’re a deep soul and wonderful human - The Buddha of Mississippi.
Hi Crafsman, you probably won't see this but I love the work you do. I am in high school getting ready to go to college and you always remind me to stay young at heart and make things. You always inspire me to make new things and try new things. I do not have all the tools you do but I love watching your videos and thinking of ways I can do similar things. Keep up the great work crafsman!
Humanity and the world needs more special characters like the Crafsman. Aren’t enough people who are unique anymore, in a world with trends and such, so it’s nice seeing such a unique soul who is free in being themselves, as well as helping others and entertaining them. God bless you 🙏
Its kind of awesome the feel of the show kinda happened through accident, and not planned. This has ended up my favorite youtube channel. I always look forward to the next episode. Thank you.
Mr Crafs Man. I just wanted to say thank you. My wife and I both have been having a hard time staying motivated, moving forward with the depression we both suffer. I work for myself so this is especially damning if i fail to follow through. After watching this, there is a very welcome little imaginary Disembodied puppet with free floating black nitrile gloves that keeps me company all day, and anytime i sit down and say " i don't feel like it" he speaks in your amazing patient and soothing voice and reminds me" don't matter if you feel like it. You have to...and so we will, and when we're done we're going to look all the way back over here, and wonder how in the heck we ever considered not doing what we have to do" I only found this video 3 days ago....and its already had a huge positive impact on myself, and My wife as well.
I really appreciate what you have to say about motivation. I live with depression, and while I'm not sad that much anymore, I still really struggle with motivation to do not only the chores in my day to day life, but also the fun or creative things I enjoyed. I've been stuck working on a model kit for weeks because I stopped partway through and never felt like starting up again, so it gathered dust and took over my coffee table for ages. Just today I went back to it so I could reclaim my living room, and even though it started off feeling like a chore, I really felt good once I got back into the swing of things. It's easy to forget how just getting started can really help.
Crafsman, I have been around since around 4 or 5k subs. I want to thank you for doing this for so long and always making days brighter for all of us. Every time I see Tim, my little tree stump figure you made, I think back to years ago finding your channel through a video on aging wood with vinegar, I believe. Anyway, thank you again man, you’re a big part of a lot of peoples lives.
Crafsman, you always say you love us, but I think we should say that more. Especially me. You are a kind and wonderful puppet and your work is inspiring to me. I love the charm and weirdness of your style, like early Newgrounds but without the grossness. My wife and I have used ideas from your videos to make our own projects, and we want to thank you for sharing them. We even did the photo transfer technique, and she was able to sell the piece! I appreciate that, what you telling me. :)

The Crafsman subtle humor is a little on the more subtle side, alright....
Anyone else do their best crafsman voice while out shopping for crafting supplies, or am I the only one?
indeed... I like to say "Well, hello" in Crafspeak to the cashier and see if they are in the know... if not, they are before I leave
Not at all! His voice even inspired some VO work I've done recently. It just sounds so soothing 😊
Meee
100% do this
When I'm trying to figure something out I say "come on Crafsman!... I don't know..."
I don't know if you realise how much of an inspiration you are to so many people, both creatively and mentally. Your videos are like therapy and education all rolled into one. You should have been a teacher, the world needs more people like you. Keep on keeping on.
Well spoken 👍

I enjoy your "whispery" voice. It's both soothing and draws me in. To me it just makes a more personal connection.
Awww - thanks for showcasing the Cassie & Trusty trophy I made. It's an honor to be in this awesome and heartfelt video. :D
Mannn, you're so welcome! And thank YOU for making it! I HAD to get that thing! :D
P.S. Crafsmama asked if I should include the link to it, but I thought I had got one of the last ones available. Let me know if I should still link your Etsy shop, though! I'd be glad to!
"Cultivate Tenacity" is a really profound phrase that I think I really needed to hear right now, thanks Crafsman.
Crafman never worry about your voice. Your voice is one of the things that keep me coming back when I need a relaxing video to watch. It's always fun seeing what you're making and I look forward everytime for the next video keep it up.
Same!
I know! His voice is what got me hooked! So chill!
My dad is a huge fan of your voice, as well as the whole character...!
Thank you for putting out your content and thank you to all your patrons. I can't afford to support you financially sadly, but you've done so much for me in terms of making me see there's still kindness in this world. Much love to you, craf mama, and all the patrons and those reading this.
Hey Brin! Please know I appreciate THIS RIGHT HERE a ton. The kind words go a long way with me. And I 100% understand not being able to support financially - no worries at all on that. I'm grateful that you WATCH the videos, and that you take time to boost with positive words!
Secret of NIHM is still a banger after all these years.
"and to share the love that's been shared with me with you all" - wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone thought this way?
Well whatever you look like or however you feel...know we love you Crafsman
I got really into that scene with the parents and kid.
This video was just what I needed. I've been unmotivated to do anything since I lost my little best friend of 9 years. I'm in that valley right now but I'll get back to the mountain top.
You are awesome CrafsMan! I appreciate your vulnerability!
Maaaaan. I was all relaxed and chillin. And he came at us with “do you all like Star Trek?” And I died laughing.
;) Thank you for watching!
I’m watching this at work. Don’t tell.
I am as well. I won’t tell if you don’t.
This is exactly what I needed 👍 -thanks Crafsman
I REALLY needed this video Mr. Crafsman. My GF of 2.5 years broke up with me because she lost "the spark" and lost feelings for me. And listening to you fight sad/depressing things and to keep moving forward. It just makes me feel like there might be a light at the end of what I'm feeling. Thank you so much!❤
Chris, I'm sorry to hear that. To hear that this little video is of some help to you is a major (major!) deal to me. So I want to thank YOU for taking time despite your disheartening situation to be an encouragement to someone else today. Wishing you all the best, my friend.
Hey Chris, just wanted to say that it's worth fighting through. Been there before and there absolutely is a better side and better days coming your way. Hang in there and know that you are loved and supported
@@creativestudios3d I may not be much help. But I hope you (we) can take the steps to get better. My inbox is always open
@@TheCrafsMan THANK YOU! I hope one day I can be as kind as you and meet a girl as sweet as Crafsmama.
@@natemills6220 Thank you so much man. It's so nice that even someone who I don't even know can be supportive, even just a comment.
Crafsman, you're like the rain: I could listen to you all day long.
"And so my advice is to remind you that while you down here in the valley to go on ahead and look foward to that mountain cause you know it's coming. And unlike other people, you gonna be the one that's gon to appreciate that mountain because you been down here in that valley."
I think I needed to hear this. Thank you for all you do.
You've become my personal therapist and it's working! I've been crafting like crazy since I found your channel. It had been almost 2 years of me being uninspired/motivated. Thank you!
My friend, words can't articulate just how much this comment means to me. Thank you so much.
This is SO motivating to me. Wow.
Crafsman, you're a saint for giving us these videos, and I hope you never stop doing videos. :)
Thank you for the words of encouragement , You amazing . keep on steady crafing........ :)
I’m a patreon patron, and at this point I’d pay Crafsman to just exist and have a nice day and make some videos when he’s ready.
Edit: omg, thank crafsmama for sharing her recipe! We’re so lucky!
You play with your toys like you are a child, while giving us the wisdom of an ancient sage. I love this channel!!
You reminded me today, that you can't wait till everything is perfect to get started. Just do it!
Thank you Crafsman😊🐝❤
Yes!!!
@@debhalld9794 😊
Still waiting on the 2 hour video stream of the view from craftsman's workshop on a rainy day. Or a sunny day with the birds around.
There's a whole crafsman Spotify album of ambient music/sounds to fall asleep to, just waiting to be recorded.
I like it when you whisper, no matter what the others say. Its so relaxing! Dont worry about your voice being raspy or whispery (pretty sure I just invnted that word), we all appreciate it anyways, because we can learn abput interesting things like action figures and relax at the same time!
Im leaning into it man, and having a great time
That's what I'm talkin about! :D Glad to hear this.
Just wanted to say, your videos are a ray of sunshine. Keep being wonderful.
Best channel on TH-cam. I can't wait to buy my first home so I can build a workshop and start crafting. Thank you for everything you do Crafsman.
I understand the hand thing. As a female, I have always felt that I have large hairy manly hands. Cuts and calluses on them always. My husband reminds me that they are hard working hands. 👍
“Y’all like Star Trek” 🤣🤣🤣
Won't lie crafsman, that "are you holding yourself back because you are comparing yourself, do they have decades of experience, how long they been doing this?" thing hit close.
Thanks Crafsman. That story about motivation was very motivational.
Very glad to hear it!
CrafsMan, you the best. I have most of my housemates watching you.
Jason, I appreciate that so much!
You probably hear this all the time but Crafsman, you are so much more than just an instructional channel. Even when you aren't you dropping your nuggets of wisdom your mere presence is therapeutic
I recently came across your channel. After watching a couple of your videos I had to subscribe. Awesome content. After watching this video I have to comment on the gloves. You do you. If your hands bother someone because they are worn from years of work and use, thats their problem not yourse. Thats character, shows character. Your content is what makes your channel, not the condition of your hands. Keep that creativity flowing.
Steady crafting at times but he mostly steady motivates us. Kinda discombobulating if you say so
If you're discombobulated, get yourself to the Milwaukee airport, because they've got a recombobulating area to put yourself back together
Whenever my students start talking TH-cam, I tell them Crafsman is my favorite channel.
No matter how I'm feeling you always have a way of making my day better. You give me the motivation to push in a positive direction. Thank you.
I understand you perfectly fine. Hmm... I think it's just alright Crafsman to be set apart. Thanks again. 😊
Thanks for including clips of the original video! The gloved hands and video that hooked me.
You, Sir, are a breath of fresh air to fellow crafters, thank you. Sweet tea and cool breeze dreams to you sir.
Craftsman from NC.
I actually found your channel because of the whispering voice - it was on a subreddit about unintentional ASMR!
"Do Y'all like Star Trek" Man, Crafsman always here to crack me up, keep'em knee slappers coming!
Thank you, I needed the parted about not waiting to feel better before starting.
I have watched your work through some tough times and they helped me get to sleep when I was full of worry, regret & loneliness. Things are a lot better now but I still enjoy the craftsmanship and effort you put in production. Thank you.
I am so glad I stumbled upon your page today! 🙌😭
Dat Blackwing pencil tho
Thanks, Robb! Like to throw that in there for y'all who know. :)
Right!?!!♡♡♡
I miss the whispering. That’s one of the reasons I liked watching you in the beginning.. nice soft, comfortable voice.
I still fall into that if I get to sculpting or painting. It's almost like I can't help it at that point, because I get into this relaxed, introspective state. :)
@@TheCrafsMan I love it too.
Motivation is very weird and it swings high and low when you do or don't have ideas.
It is weird indeed. And I find myself on some days feeling anxious when things are going SO WELL. "I have NO reason to feel this way!", I say. So I fall back on what my wife reminds me: Focus not on how you feel (it comes and goes) but on what's real.
@@TheCrafsMan Words to live by.
@@TheCrafsMan motivation is fleeting. Sticktoitiveness is what stays the test of time 🤣
The journey of A thousand miles, begins with the first step
Thank you, Crafsman, Crafsmama, and Crafson! You show us that the world isn't necessarily as complicated as we make it. Sound advice, good cooking, and leaning into it and finding our own uniqueness can really improve our world. :) Lookin forward to that rainy day when you answer more questions. :)
Please let Crafsmama know her biscuit recipe is fantastic!
CrafsMan, thank you for sharing your words of wisdom and encouragement. You have no idea, but your words about motivation and creativity were exactly what I needed to hear right now. You're a gift to this world sir and I hope you know you make so many lives better just by being you and putting yourself out there. Thank you!💜
@TheCrafsman, Thank you for making your incredible talent and kind heart available to us for inspiration and comfort. I wish there was a way for you to experience how full my heart feels when you speak your wisdom. You’re a deep soul and wonderful human - The Buddha of Mississippi.
Craftsman don’t ever change. You are the coolest cat that I (don’t) know! Keep on steady craftin, friend.
I picture the Crafsman as Cajun, am I the only one?
Keep up the good work, I always enjoy your videos.
I didn't want this video to end
It was so nice to see clips of those early videos! I remember watching them!
Hi Crafsman, you probably won't see this but I love the work you do. I am in high school getting ready to go to college and you always remind me to stay young at heart and make things. You always inspire me to make new things and try new things. I do not have all the tools you do but I love watching your videos and thinking of ways I can do similar things. Keep up the great work crafsman!
I love your videos, Thank you CrafsMan!
Humanity and the world needs more special characters like the Crafsman. Aren’t enough people who are unique anymore, in a world with trends and such, so it’s nice seeing such a unique soul who is free in being themselves, as well as helping others and entertaining them. God bless you 🙏
Always wise with them words Crafsman, the real life Craft Yoda.
Its kind of awesome the feel of the show kinda happened through accident, and not planned. This has ended up my favorite youtube channel. I always look forward to the next episode. Thank you.
Mr Crafs Man. I just wanted to say thank you. My wife and I both have been having a hard time staying motivated, moving forward with the depression we both suffer. I work for myself so this is especially damning if i fail to follow through.
After watching this, there is a very welcome little imaginary Disembodied puppet with free floating black nitrile gloves that keeps me company all day, and anytime i sit down and say " i don't feel like it" he speaks in your amazing patient and soothing voice and reminds me" don't matter if you feel like it. You have to...and so we will, and when we're done we're going to look all the way back over here, and wonder how in the heck we ever considered not doing what we have to do" I only found this video 3 days ago....and its already had a huge positive impact on myself, and My wife as well.
I really appreciate what you have to say about motivation. I live with depression, and while I'm not sad that much anymore, I still really struggle with motivation to do not only the chores in my day to day life, but also the fun or creative things I enjoyed. I've been stuck working on a model kit for weeks because I stopped partway through and never felt like starting up again, so it gathered dust and took over my coffee table for ages. Just today I went back to it so I could reclaim my living room, and even though it started off feeling like a chore, I really felt good once I got back into the swing of things. It's easy to forget how just getting started can really help.
I love y'all, CrafsMan. I hope you and the rest of the CrafsFamily are doing good down there over your way.
There is a strange beauty to your videos that makes me incredibly nostalgic. Thank you for doing what you do.
You are a much appreciated, iconic TH-camr.
I'm so pleased to be a patron, thank you for this video. I needed this.
Wow. The more I watch this guy the more I like him. Craft knowledge with a side of wisdom and cognitive behavioral therapy.
thankyou you make an awful lot of sense. I'm in lockdown here in the uk so its not great on your own. You inspire a lot of people
Good idea to wear gloves. I used to get all sorts of people hating my hands. Idk what it was, but it was something about youtube years ago.
This was the best TED Talk I have ever seen. I found this highly motivating. Thank you, Crafsman!
CrafsMan, you are a national treasure!
Crafsman, I have been around since around 4 or 5k subs. I want to thank you for doing this for so long and always making days brighter for all of us. Every time I see Tim, my little tree stump figure you made, I think back to years ago finding your channel through a video on aging wood with vinegar, I believe. Anyway, thank you again man, you’re a big part of a lot of peoples lives.
Crafsman, you always say you love us, but I think we should say that more. Especially me. You are a kind and wonderful puppet and your work is inspiring to me. I love the charm and weirdness of your style, like early Newgrounds but without the grossness. My wife and I have used ideas from your videos to make our own projects, and we want to thank you for sharing them. We even did the photo transfer technique, and she was able to sell the piece!
I appreciate that, what you telling me. :)
Oooooooooh Snap Steadycraftn Monday!
