    I animate with DragonFrame software and the USB controller.
    The slider unit is by Edelkrone, and I'll cover using that in a separate video.

    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 :)

    Jus my two cents, I love your instructional videos and often go back and rewatch them, I hope there will be more of them, but if there was only one or two a year and the rest of your videos were your own animations I'd still be a patron and a regular viewer. Your work stands for itself and I'm always delighted to see it.

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.

Camera settings, framing, color, audio, light, you seem to like having tight control over these things. You remind me a lot of myself. I jump from thing to thing a lot, and I'm obsessed with learning how to grapple with these things at a high level of proficiency. The quality shines through. Seriously dude, take my word for it.

    Crafsman! I'm so excited for where the channel is headed in the future!! I recently began working on my very 1st animation, and it's so fun! I'm low-key terrible, but it's super fun.
    Love y'all!

    I'll chime in on that. Seeing the toy casting a kitbashing vids were a blast as someone who builds miniatures regularly. I don't see myself ever venturing into animation, or hydrodipping, or getting an injection molder, but it's always a delight to see your take on stuff.

    the absolute best videos are the ones where you are most passionate... that's what everyone wants to see. glad to see you jumping into something you really want to do!

    I appreciate what, how and why you do what you do. Let the "when" be when it is. Goal setting is good, knowing when to relax the goal is superb! I'll expect your content when I see it...

    Thank you for being so honest in this video. Work stress and boundaries with time are definitely a struggle for me. I appreciate you being so honest about your stress management and what you’re doing to cope with it.
    We love you and we appreciate you. Keep on steady craftin’, Crafsman.

    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 TH-cam 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

    Like the sentiment shared in this video, a lot of the stuff you do is stuff I wont likely ever touch. BUT I love the calming and passionate nature of every video you put out. Its just a nice brain break to watch people do things theyre excited about and share that in a fun, casual and knowledgeable way.
    Thanks for what you do, Crafsman, and I hope you continue to strive to do the things you love doing. I'll be here for the ride :)

  • @Lee-Dixon1987
    @Lee-Dixon1987 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have watched your videos for the past year or two, and while your figure making techniques are what hooked me, it's been the quality, the humor, the personality and your creativity that set you apart. There are several techniques of yours that I have adopted in my own making projects, but there are also many that I do not see myself attempting any time soon, for a myriad of reasons. But, I enjoy your posts, regardless, and look forward to them each week, just to see what you're up to and to see the creative process unfold in new ways. You just keep on doing your thing crafsman, you will have support, one way or another. Thank you, sir and God bless.

    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.

  • @Mrmetalbrigade
    @Mrmetalbrigade 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Crafsman, I've been one of your subscribers for the longest time (I still remember your channel when you had less than 10k subscribers). I still love your earliest content where your microphone and sound quality wasn't quite as polished. YOU as a creator have remained the same amazing individual all this time and your content you create as a result has remained so relaxing and enjoyable.
    I've even dabbled in some of the simpler crafts projects you've done and I've NEVER been a crafty person! I'm gonna become a direct supporter this month, I pray for yours and your family's wellbeing and continued success going forward. I hope you find more happiness and fulfilment being able to flex your creativity in new and fun ways!

    I enjoy this channel so much! To see a TH-camr like you is so amazing, I’ve been watching for almost 2 years now and whenever a video comes out I get so thrilled and ready to learn with you and to be entertained. I’m happy you’re working on your stress. Someone like you shouldn’t be stressed

    I'm so glad to see this. Every video from you brings me joy. You're one of a kind. Don't wear yourself down for our benefit - do what you like for the sheer enjoyment of it and share it when you're able. Your audience will share that enjoyment, to be sure.

  • @garyowens7454
    @garyowens7454 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Crafsman, you have helped me on many projects that had me stumped because you were working on something that was very similar to what I was doing and I was able to apply your knowledge to my situation. I don't think I have ever thanked you for that, nor for the many hours of videos that I enjoyed watching, even if they had nothing to do with any of my own work in progress. So, for that I apologize, and I want to thank you for all of the great ideas and entertaining content you have shared with all of us.
    I hope this year is kind to you and the whole Crafsfamily, and that you find happiness in all of your pursuits. Stay well, my friend.

    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!!

    I agree. Anything you want to do I will love to watch. I haven’t seen or met anyone in my life like you ,not online or in real life. Your special. And give me a certain type of happy feelings and inspiration I can’t get anywhere else. I know we’ve never met. But your a role model to me. And I’m always looking forward to see what your gonna do next.

    It's been a while since I visited. You know I came back here because...I was under stress and needed a soothing voice to calm me down and entertain me. I love your openings and this one made me laugh out loud. Keep on keepin' on. Thank you for what you do being you.

  • @earshoes3282

    I was a traditional 2D animator for a number of years and recognise all your reference books. Preston Blair etc.
    I thought you might have been an animator, judging from some of the work you have shown on your channel. Your art style, drawing and sculpting tells me that too.
    Do what makes you happy and at a pace that you can healthily sustain. You are living the dream and a lot of us are vicariously along for the ride.
    I'm certain your audience will stick with you. I'll be watching for sure.

    The old tub of Legos really is something that everyone has, huh? Glad to see I'm not the only one!
    On a more serious note, I am very excited to see what you will do next, Crafsman - animation, toy manufacturing, restoration, heck, even shoe shining - as long as it's Crafsman Certified™, it's gonna be a great watch!
    Even if it has nothing to do with wristwatches!

    Crafsman,
    My favorite videos of yours are the toy making videos. I actually do use them to learn from them, as I want to make toys as a hobby. I recently started molding my piece and well I did mess up, but that's because I didn't seal my container all the way. Regardless I want to thank you for your videos, as they have shown me the ways that I can make toys. I am also glad you are finally pursuing animation.
    Take care,
    Noah

    I remember the tiny atat. I used to have a set of those back in the day and tried to make the battle of hoth using fishing line and a .3mp webcam. Let's just say it was not good lol.
