Subbed in the first 10 seconds for the voice alone.

Crafsman you deserve a METAL for this one!

"Or, if ya got somewhere to be.." lol man I love the Crafsman

This is the best video I've seen in months. I love the content. I love the way you present it. Brilliant.

My new favorite. He channels Bob Ross. I may never pick up a torch, but I'll listen to this voice all day.

Thank you for being so chill in a loud world. It means a lot

"Hold up Craftman! -- you talking 'bout a pickle!?" LOL. Very enjoyable and instructive.

Best video on silver soldering I've seen. Simple but accurate and complete.

My Man… With infinite love and gratitude, thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us at least the ones that like to learn. First time , hearing you …searched up best way to solder metal and aluminum because my aluminum head gasket and my metal valves on my compressor broke. and your video was the first one to show up. And I was hooked as soon as I heard your voice… What a beautiful soul you are, it is so pleasurable to sit down and listen to you explain in detail how you go about soldering, that short video I learned something you that I will be using and I already subscribed before the video was over. Once again thank you very much… Let me say this… i’m Sure that’s many subscribers that you have I’m not necessarily interested in learning how to solder, but more for listening to your soothing beautiful voice that you have… Lol God bless you.

This is the exact video I've been seeking. Craftsman, you're a credit to your art and the community! Thank you!

Did anyone else just come here to listen to him talk ? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

I used to watch Bob Ross , learn and relax at the same time ; now I have another favorite !!! Love the creativity !

Thank you for explaining a pickle! Everybody uses one but nobody ever said what it was before!!

Crafsman, your videos have become my go-to positive coping skill whenever i’m feeling stressed or agitated. your creativity and calm demeanor help me feel better. thank you

You got me at "hold up crafts man! Talk about a pickle?!" Lol. I love it!

'Where the heat go -- the silver flow' Love this. Xoxo

Man! You’re the Bob Ross of soldering! Love it. Been searching 100 videos trying to learn how to do this and finally found one. Appreciate it!

Friends, remember to use a vent hood or use a respirator mask. It's not a good idea to breathe too much burnt flux. I used to solder in a poorly ventilated area and got very painful pleurisy for several days (turns out I'm sensitive). And remember to wash your hands if using solder containing lead.

Simply wanted to tell you that crafting is just one of your talents. Provably you have heard this before, but the way you communicate is simply a real genuine talent. I wish could be more people around us with such talent. I have remain stuck watching and listening your videos don't know for how long , and i really feel like I should thank you for such pleasant time.

Soft spoken southern drawl, perfect for reading me a bedtime story. I found this video very informative for crafting metal items. Thank you very much for the contribution. I needed some help repairing my metal bird cage and this fit the bill.

I went searching for soldering/brazing videos and came upon this gem of a video. It's as if Bobby Bucher found love in metal working. I'm so entranced :)

I honestly I love what you are doing with all your small antiques you have found --- sure hope you haven't stoped --- this vid was 5 years ago thank you

This is one of the best “how to” videos I have ever seen. Your soft spoken delivery is perfect and your “how to” techniques are outstanding. I thank you so much. 👍👍👍👍👍

I love the way he narrates. He could narrate anything. This guy gonna blow up on RU-vid.

Hey Crafsman ! I just discovered you yesterday. I subscribed immediately. Thank you for teaching me about silver soldering. I just ordered supplies. By the way, I am 69 yrs old and i agree with others about your voice. I have long held James Earl Jones voice to be the greatest. I know say you are also a great and even peaceful voice. I need to listen to you everyday just to feel like things are alright in this crazy world. Thank you for being you, your creativity, and teaching. Wish you the best. Rick

You ROCK Crafsman! Someone needs to get you a TV show, cause you're like the heir apparent of Bob Ross! Love watching your process and I love the finished product! Please keep doing your videos and keep making metal sculptures! They are as unique and awesome as you are!! :)

I love the skeleton key parent-and-child statue!! What a beautiful piece, I'm always in awe as to how creative you are, Crafs Man!!!

I am just learning how to solder and man....I really dig your creations and how easy and simple you are with sharing your knowledge. Very, very inspiring to create. Thank you

Bob Ross and Morgan Freeman with hint of ol skool playa and you have the Craftman. I subscribed instantly just because of your voice,then I learned something and laughed at the same time.

I love your tutorials. You have the most therapeutic tutorial voice on RU-vid. Keep up the great work!!

I call this piece, (9:21) "The Key to Happiness" Anywho, thank you, oh so much! I've been wanting to learn welding, but the cost is prohibitive for my current financial state. You introduced a new whole wide world of creating for me, thank you! It's perfect for the small projects I have in mind.

wow your voice sounds like a kind grandfather telling a bedtime story it's so smoothing!

TO COME TO THESE EARLIER STEADYCRAFTIN VIDEOS, PROVES WITHOUT QUESTION HOW MUCH AND HOW VERY FAR THE CRAFSMAN HAS COME AND GROWN!! THIS PLATFORM ( VIDEO PRODUCTION/SHARING/INTERACTION) WAS CREATED FOR INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS INCREDIBLE TALENT!

I like your "just have a little Sniff of this rag, it'll help you forget everything baby" voice! 😂

I'm so glad you're back. It's been a while! LOVED this video, and now you've got me anxious to try this technique. Thanks again!!!!!!!

I love it how you whisper your method, like it's a secret

Omg, you've got thing going being a host with south accent like that , it's calming , soothing the affections are blissful, all while speaking my language of metal work and craft. TY.

'' where the heats goes silver flows '' Excellent explanation !

Love it! A new channel to binge on! Also you sound like Mitch Hedberg. “An escalator can never break, it just becomes stairs.”

Woo! Another CrafsMan vid! So happy :) Really inspired me! I'm definitely going to keep my eye out for nuts and bolts and other metal scrap and give it a go! Thanks mate!

Doesn’t matter what the video is - if it says TheCrafsMan, I watch it! Always a pleasure.

You are the Professor of crafts Crafsman! I love your creations.

This is the greatest, coolest video I have seen in a long time!!! Like Solder ASMR....I was looking to repair a shotgun and I now found what I needed but I’m sleepy now!!! Thanks!

Pure Gold: this voice is Golden. Love it and the little creatures he creates!

NIce. I slivered soldered thousands upon thousands of carbide tips on saws. Brought back memories. We used oxygen/acetylene and a #000 torch tip. Black flux always worked good for us. Love your creations. Keep up the good work.

I love the motorcycle! Great tutorial!

CrafsMan! The parent/child figure is fantastic. You've got to get more in your etsy shop before the holidays! I need one for a gift. Great Stuff!

Thee Bob Ross of metal projects. Love this guy

I like your whispery clear voice. The demo of the strength of silver solder was impressive and informative. Now I'm gonna do some.

That was pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing that!

I've always been intimidated to solder, but your technique and video explains it so well I'm gonna give it a try. Thank you CrafsMan! PS - Love the creative whimsy you bring to your sculptures. Allen wrench motorcycle handlebars!!! Brilliant.

Sir, you are a great teacher and artist. I am so happy I found your channel. And look forward to viewing all your back videos. Thanks again for all your hard work and devotion to your craft.

Always, always great advice from the Crafsman. I really treasure the style as well as the content. And you illustrate the fact that *nobody* needs fancy, expensive or complex tools in order to do great work. Thanks, Crafsman!

Anyone else waiting for the camera to turn to see the a really chill looking dude with a huge black fro like that joy of painting guy from the 80’s?

Really fine video, my friend. Charming and informative.

Very helpful and I could listen to his voice all day.

Of all the methods I reviewed on RU-vid yours was the best and amazingly successful! The recommended products were perfect. I love your soft spoken voice. It is soothing and pleasant to listen to.

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I have been tryinggggggggggggg to get the solder to stay and in the joint and now I know how.!!!!

Hi, Just subscribed! I love doing metal art and have done many,many pieces out of copper,brass and steel. When I retired I started making sterling silver jewelry and even cutting my own semi -precious stones to set. As time went on my eyes started to fail but I didn't want to stop doing something I love to do,,,work with metal. I searched to find someone I could learn from to make pieces that were not as "intricate" as making jewelry settings and found exactly what I was looking for!A man named George Goehl! He has tons of free videos on RU-vid and also instructional CD's that you can buy very cheap! As you know,,,silver soldering is a form of brazing and brazing with bronze rods is much cheaper then buying silver solder.The only difference is that brazing takes more heat. So,,,I started brazing a few pieces and then after viewing more of Georges videos learned how to gas weld and how to fuse steel. I've gotten away from doing my metal art and you are just the inspiration I needed to get back at it again! You are a VERY talented/smart man and I thank you for just being you! If you would like to see a few of Georges videos here's a link to his RU-vid videos.It won't cost you anything but time and you may like what you see as I did! gsegmedia.com/?page_id=2877 Thanks for this great,inspiring video! Tom

Hello from over the pond, got here looking for tips on silver soldering. What a fantastic tutorial, really educational, very informative and I love the voice. Well done sir and thank you for taking the time to upload this vid.

Crafsman, your workshop is my “happy place”! Gonna have me one of my own one of these days 🤞🏼. Thanks for teaching us how to silver solder!

New Crafsman video? Time to watch it multiple times! Hey Crafsman I think putting "yourself" in your videos was awesome, and would really help with distinguish you if you started doing it again!

OMG! I love your videos you are like the funny Bob Ross of youtube. Watching your videos always makes me feel better if I had a tough day. I especially like the , "Hello!" when presenting a new character. My daughter and I went around saying, "Cabachon!" for weeks, everyone thought we were nuts! LOL HA HA HA

I'm a new fan but I'm already hooked. Your kind voice is perfect for teaching someone like me that deals with anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your kind ❤.

I have been tinkering with little welding projects since welding has been my career for nearly forever. This is a really cool option. Thanks for posting it.

"Patience is gonna be key" I see what you did there you sly dog. Great content man, I'm a new subscriber! :)

Terrific! I thought I'd need a MIG welder to this! I've always admired seeing "nuts & bolts" sculptures and thought I'd enjoy making them. I've an O2 tank and acetylene tank, along with the associated gauges, and torches, which, in the past, I've using for brazing copper shapes (e.g. butterflies, mayflies) al la George Goehl (also on YT), but your very well demonstrated use of silver solder is such an easier process of (small) metal joinery. Again, TERRIFIC!!

DUDE! I'm gonna say it again. Every time I want to learn something new, I find out YOU have a video about it! And honestly, I would rather watch your videos too. You explain things so well and your commentary always gives me a giggle. Thanks again!!

Thank you so much, Mr. CraftsMan! I learned a lot and I love how you explain things. I've watched a few other videos on silver soldering and no one mentioned the importance of heating up the pieces on either side of the solder to help the solder flow. Where the heat goes the silver flows. Love it!

Fan theory: The Crafsman is actually a hero, after a terrible battle with their nemesis, destructo, battle which left the crafsman barely alive and badly scarred and disfigured (which is why we never see their face), the crafsman retreated to a cabin hidden in the woods to perfect the art of craftsmanship and build a mighty weapon capable of taking on destructo.

Thank you Crafsman.

All of your creations have so much personality despite them being so simple. I love them!

Stumbled onto this channel and I am not disappointed that I did! Love the vibe and can't wait to explore all the videos!

"Where the Heat Goes, The Silver Flows!" should be a Legal Maxim, or a Psalm, a Proverb, a Amateurverb (not errbody verbs is Pro-quality) or a Fable. Maybe a Parable or just a Singleble would do. I just think it makes enough sense to get it in out of the rain. Oughta be engraved on a Courthouse or Pew or something. Its dog gone brilliant in my book. Well done.

Bobby Bouchet, silver solder from the devil! XD Great video.

You rock brother. Just absolutely the best way a human being can spend their time, being creative sharing, and having fun in the world in which we live

I've watched loads of jewellery soldering videos and this hands down has shown the way solder flows better than any of them!

ooo wee crafts man making those videos fast

Im so greatfull to stumble across your channel, you are such a cool dude, with amazing craftsmanship, and a hint of a snoop dogg voice 😊 new sub from me 🙏

Man.. you got the best voice for this. Great work

TheCrafsMan, you lay it down man. No corny musical sounds just straight up artisan tutorial. No mess no fuss. Your crafting is tight. Thank you.

Crafsman, another great video. But to be honest, if my wife catches me using her Crock-Pot it's gonna be me that's in a pickle! Keep on doin' what you're doin'.

Captain America, the silver solder.

the best youtube channel thus far.. your a genius , sir!!!!! i binge watch your content for ideas to make robots and i love how you have an imagination of a child!! thats a creative gift from God!!

Oh man, I love your creativity! It's like you be lookin at some junk, but to you it's not junk, it's a robot, or a person, or whateva you wants it to be. You keep that jawn fresh!

Beautiful content. Have just watched before going to bed in South Australia. Nice calm voice, and great ideas for things to make from what people call scrap. Thank you. Very inspirational.

Wow! I really enjoyed this video. I'm a retired senior handy lady exploring RU-vid for interesting crafts now that I have time. I have soldered with copper but this video has opened a whole new world. Thanks

Thank you for the vid. Your instructional vids are the best I have seen in all my years of jewelry making. 👍😎

2 things: 1. This is fantastic instruction! This brings back lessons from jewelry making class in high school so many years ago. 2. Makes we wanna start sipping on some 'shine. Take care and be safe!

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen! Hooked on the Crafsman now. A super good job explaining the process and showing example. Thanks for the awesome videos.

Thanks for your video of silver soldering, I am getting started in this type of torch soldering, but for small jobs and your advice has been very helpful.

Just ran across your channel, as a welder/fabricator for over 40 years, it's nice to run across someone like yourself to bring back a refresher course for me, as it been a long time since I've done any silver soldering. Very captivating and a pleasure... Thank you, Razor!

I just grin from ear to ear every time I watch one of your videos! Thank you, Crafsman!

Absolutely dig your creations, and found this video both delightful & informative. Your narration is on point, and I swear that when the video ended it was all too soon - could stay in your soft spoken bubble happily for hours.

This was absolutely fantastic to watch. The commentary on this is absolutely perfect. Wonderful job mate.

cleaning and fluxing ARE EVERYTHING, glad you made that so clear. great project

This video and TheCrafsMan are phenomenal for so many reasons. Such a beautifully done piece of work on so many levels. Thanks for putting this kind of content into the world.
