"Somebody gonna show up in the woods to tell you that you sharpening your knife the wrong way." Keep that low key truth comedy rolling CrafsMan.

The first 2 minutes and 37 seconds of this video are full of more wisdom than you'll find anywhere else in the same time frame. Well done, Crafsman.

This should be required viewing for all kids who feel like misfits.

Crafman DO NOT let this peanut gallery of people get you down! You’re videos are my favorite and you make so many people happy with your crafts! I love all your new videos, I can see you’re working hard. Keep going! 💕😋

how can anyone be negative about you your show is like the next bob ross or Mr Rodgers like its so innocent and inoffensive

Crafsman, you brighten my day every single time you pop up. I am a grown man, 6 foot tall-lookin', with long hair and and big beard. Yet, your antics get me gigglin' and laughin' like a young'un. Keep it up. I could watch your videos for decades to come, and I'd consider that a happy element of my life.

That intro...I feel you Crafsman. The struggle is real. Stay strong ✊

"Sometimes we do things the wrong way and we need someone to correct us. But sometimes we just doin things OUR way and we just need time." 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

“And secondly my hands be shaking” lol. Thank you so much for what you do. No matter how I’m feeling, I always feel better after I watch one of your videos.

CrafsMan, you know when people tell me I'm doing something wrong, I ask them how they would do it. I listen, nod and tell them that their way is very interesting. I thank them for sharing their knowledge with me. Some times I learn something new, some times I don't. Nobody is ever done learning things. It's why I like making things. I like to learn new skills. It's why I like your videos Mr CrafsMan, you teach us new ways to do things.

CrafsMan... in the You-Tube Universe, there are no others like you !!! being "down home" ( I'm born, raised and will die a South Texan) you are the purest example of "the cream that rises to the top" !!!....call me crazy, but I'm ALWAYS waiting for your next video..on behalf of all of us DIY's who love you, please KEEP ON STEADY CRAFTIN' !!!

This is still my favorite episode of your content. From the intro about doing something our way to paraphrasing "You May Be Right" and "Eastbound And Down". Absolutely adore this content ❤

i thought it was really poignant the way you spoke about elizabeth cotten. this video is very delightful all around. thank you crafsman

Crafs Man I hardly ever comment on youtube, but I'm gonna throw this out there because I feel it's important. Your channel and the work that you do is a golden beacon on this platform; the love you share with your audience and your art is so genuine and earnest that I find myself not only wanting to be more creative as an illustrator, but also a better person and to be more appreciative of the world around me. I think this is one of the reasons why a lot people draw parallels between you and Bob Ross, not just because you are soft spoken and make art but because you have that power of impactful positivity which resonates with people. It is a sad truth that the internet is a wonderful and terrible place at the same time, and that there will always be a vocal minority of misguided individuals who will go out of their way to mess with you. I hope we will see those old videos reuploaded again, but only when you are ready. Much love, CrafsFam.

‘Sometimes we’re just doing things our way and we need time’……lovely

“Sometime we do thing the wrong way and we need somebody to correct us. But sometimes we just doin’ things our way and we just need time.” I felt all kinds of ways when I heard that: inspired and loved… and especially overjoyed by the BEAUTY of your presentation! The juxtaposition of ideas and stories leading up to such a noble ideal are what true beauty looks and sounds like!! ...I had to press pause and dry up my tears so I could tell you I love your golden heart!

Watching your Videos feels like listening to an old friend telling stories, amazing. RU-vid was made for things like this. You do you, crafsman, we love your channel for it.

Crafsman, I am so proud of you...you're almost at 200,000 subs!!! I've been here since around 37,000! You're a breath of fresh air in this cruel, cruel world. I am grateful that I found your channel...please keep "steady craftin'"....we need you!! Much love from Denver, NC!!!🖤💙

Don’t ever let anybody put you down. I love watching your videos...

2:21, you're part of the reason my life is changing. thank you Crafsman.

Thank you, Your Host TheCrafsman, for your positive, creative force! I had to move away from Mississippi to go do my thing. I'm beyond amazed you found a way to hunker down and shine so brightly just as you are and just where you are. Keep on charging! We need more Doozers and less Fraggles. Thank you for all you've given!

Crafsman, this is why everybody adores you so much. You are a genuine person and very positive and encouraging. I live the way you put it; that sometimes people say we do things the wrong way when we are just doing things our way. P.S. my gecko loves watching your videos. He will walk over to the side of his enclosure where he can see the TV best and watches with me.

Crafsman you do everything just right! You know sometimes us young people don't understand. In school they tried to teach us one uniform method for everything, trying to eliminate human error in the things we do but this here, when it comes to art, there is no error... you let your heart speak and you don't let nobody tell you you're wrong.

"It looks like concrete because it is concrete" made me laugh.

Crafsman.... love you, my dude. I dont even craft. I just love watching you craft.

“Sometimes we are doing things the wrong way, and you need somebody to correct us. Sometimes we just doing our way, and just need time.” Either way, keeping doing things. Do what brings you happiness and joy. Be you. Do More. 🙏

You are more than a teacher to all of us (ALMOST 200,000 subscribers!!!!!! You are a friend and an inspiration, CRAFSMAN. My philosophy in life is : pay attention and focus on the people that like you, and don’t think in the ones that not. You are so gracious mentioning your critics. However, your BEAUTIFUL video of Elizabeth Cotten just give them a slap with a white glove. What a gentleman you are! Rosie from Dallas.

I've been feeling real bad, but watching you helps me. Feel calmer and less depressed and anxious. Thank you

crafsman your videos are so calming and soothing, and i love your jokes very much! don't let the negative nancy's getcha down, big hugs and love

You gotta give miss cotten credit she took a hard skill to learn and not only did she do it wrong (or backwards) but she didn't quit until she succeeded. I wish more people today had that drive.

Wow, such an epically humble way to address your haters & negative commenters! Much respect Crafsman, ignore the negativity & keep on steady craftin!

Heeey How cool of you to mention Elizabeth Cotten and her way of playing because I'm also left-handed and also found that way of playing the guitar worked for me, and as many other things in my life, I found my own way of doing things. Thank you for keeping on craftin' your way! All the best from Argentina!

😍 cotton picking is how I play guitar! I never knew it had a name. It’s how my dad plays guitar and it’s how he taught me. 💕

That pocket knife trick had me straight up laughin' hard! Thank you Mr. Crafsman for yet another top notch video.

Played guitar for over ten years and never heard of Elizabeth Cotten. Excellent little piece there. And that’s not easy.

Just what I was wanting!! The kid's I'm a nanny for are always looking for "authentic" building materials. I'm gonna be a HERO!!!! Thank you!

You had me at "...always keep a knife in your pocket."

Free therapy😄 I don't even do this kind of creating, but I love watching and listening to you CrafsMan

Why is that I hear Crafsman say a thing, then I feel better about myself, jus right off the bat?! Isn’t this channel the best? I think so

It truly made me smile about Mrs. Cotten. Great life lessons. Starting to fall in love with this channel.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing our love of realistic miniatures, Crafsman!

Crafsman this looks great! Who knew that watching a DIY model-making channel would also teach me some lessons in self confidence and not letting the negative folks get me down. Never stop spreadin' your wisdom!

I look forward to watching your videos every time they're posted, Crafsman. Please don't let any negative comments get to you; your videos bring a lot of people a lot of joy. I appreciate you and everything you do, brother!

Your video transported me to precious memories of forty years ago - for a minute I was a kid again, building dioramas out of spackle, pebbles, moss and Revell military figurines. Thank you CrafsMan...

My cat was bored so I showed her your video. Pretty soon she'll be steady craftin'!

*turns on auto-generated captions* "Hello and welcome to the crass man show. My name as your host, Dr. Eggman"

Love love love it! So much goodness in this video but the knife sharpening story I may have to borrow for future use haha

Crafsman, your vids have become an important part of my days. Your skill with materials, the wonderful anecdotes, your outlook on life, the quiet and soothing voice... the whole show, is the best 'entertainment' on the 'tube. I don't craft much but I make model engines and such. Your admission that life ain't perfect is a much needed approach more of us need to take. Thank you for being you!

Just one thing: I love you and all your anecdotal bliss. Keep steady craftin'.

Everything that I have seen from you on this channel has been positive, practical and functional, in its context. You make us laugh, share your wisdom and keep it clean. Thank you and Keep Steady Craftin.

I was having such a bad day today and then RU-vid recommended this video. I don’t think I can fully express how much this helped. Thank you, Crafsman.

Don't you change a single thing you do, Crafsman! We love you and we love all the skills you share.

Crafsman quoting the Smokey And The Bandit theme song... How can such a simple thing make me so happy ?

That quote is really something. It made me think that I should be more considerate to others. Love you crafsman❤️

There is no wrong way to do something as long as you get the results you want. Loved the video as always.

Wow, I really saw this video months ago and set a reminder for this Fourth of July with the title “watch mini bunker video, craftsman said so”. I can say, I’m very happy I did that.

Crafsman, I’m goin through a lot, but you help me out a ton. Thank you so much.

‘And secondly... my hands be shaking” - How can anyone be negative towards this awesome man?

I lost it when you explained the best way to get out of the woods when you're lost. Your video is just what I needed to see, tonight.

Craftsman, you will one day be known as one of the greats of our generation. Your videos make me soooo happy. Thank you for your content.

My new favorite shape is the TRY-ANGLE. 🙌

With possibly the exception of the one with milk and cornbread, this is the best yet. It's beautiful and you're perfect and we love you!

It's rare there days that I find someone I admire without reservation. This fellow is one, for certain. He is a treasure to us all.

I never thought I would cry watching a CrafsMan video, but that piece about Elizabeth Cotten got me pretty good.

I DONT KNOW IF ITS JUST ME....BUT I LOOOOVE, LOVE, LOVE, WHEN HE SAYS "RIGHT THERE" 😄 ITS MY FAVE.

That's such a creative and realistic bunker man. If you didn't tell me i would never have guessed that that wasn't real, great work

Ya know, Crafsman, when I’m having me a rotten day or things just don’t go right, I know what do. I turn on Crafsman (hello) and I kid you never, your voice, your calm talking and friendly demeanour cause me to relax. I become a happy dude once again. I thank you for being a nice refuge from a sometimes stressful and a not-so-nice world. I truly mean this from the heart brother, thank you. I hope your life is always full of joy my man. Regards.

Crafsman you musta had yourself a delightful mom & family! I find myself with a smile on my face just listening to you be you! Alot of people could learn how to manage there patience and manners! also.. Thank You for the lesson about Miss Cotton. Just doin things your way not the wrong way!

Your positivity and kindness is a bright spot in my day. Thank you for it

This was so satisfying to watch. The amount of creativity in all the props for the bunker was insane too. It felt like everything had its own story

This is definitely my favorite crafting Crafsman video to date! 😂😂😂 Really didn’t think I’d be a fan of music in your videos, but it actually turned out to be really fun and peaceful, which is exactly what the them of your videos are 😊. Love what you do Crafsman. I wasn’t much of a craft guy when I found your channel, but your authentic, loving, and gentle demeanor have pulled me through some of the hardest parts of my life. Truly. Thank you so much for what you do Crafsman. Keep your heart open, because it’s inspiring us to open ours as well.

You were in top form in this one! Never get discouraged by the negative folks, you give so much to your viewers! Thank you crafsman

Negative comments? Let me at em! Lol! Some people just like to be miserable and hear themselves talk. Just keep steady craftin crafsman! My wife and I love watchin your videos! Thank you

"Why do your hands shake?" Because my hand is shaking Makes sense to me!

I luv luv luv how you paid tribute to Ms. Cotten! Beautifully left-field (pun intended). She didn’t change. And, considering 645 comments in less than 24 hours of posting, I think I speak for everyone when I say to you, we hope you don’t change, either! Keep bein you❤️👍❤️

Ten days from this video post I turned 32 years old and now this channel has taught me so much. Thank you

The Crafsman keeps me sane. Thank you

So glad to see you supporting products that make sense for your channel you're awesome

I been sharpening my knife all my life. Nobody's ever come to show me the way. Crafsman showed me the way to Steady Crafting.

CrafsMan you are truly entertaining and have inspired me to try my hand at sculpting and making my own toy. Don't let those BS negative comments get you down! Keep on craftin'.

Listen as long as you enjoy what your putting out that’s all that matters because you know your giving the best of your abilities .. that’s all the audience can ask for.. and hey who cares.. if your happy that’s all that matters the naysayers mean nothing .. like your vids just started watching them and I truly enjoy them

I love your videos so much man!! don't listen to those mean comments, your videos are amazing, I love coming home after work to watch your videos ❤️

Every aspect of your channel is gold

Crafsman, I haven't commented in over a year but I still watch all of your videos and use the copper etching technique you taught me. I've even been playing with concrete molds here and there when I have time. I had to check in to say hey and tell you I'm proud of your continued success and I really appreciate how genuine you still are. Keep doing your thing and don't let the negative comments outshine the positivity from everyone else. And least...lastly...thirdly... place of all: That pocket knife is SICK. Love a knife with age and character.

I like how you sifted dirt to make ultra realistic diorama dirt. Mini Materials look really cool too.

I enjoyed the bit about doing things the "wrong" way very much. You sure did that right.

Mr Crafsman sir, I love sharing your videos with friends. You’re a shining example of what Good the internet can do. Keep on steady craftin’ ❤️

The opening of this video is exactly why I'm a fan of yours, CrafsMan. Keep on keepin on, bud.

I will remember this day, the day I found this channel :D

Don't let negative comments bother you. Your videos are entertaining and informative!

You are the best Crafsman. Keep being you, if it works for you...Keep doing it.

Man crafsman even if you do something the “wrong way” you make that wrong way the right way cuz you’re just so awesome. I love watching your videos and am always lookin forward for the next one to come out. Keep on steady craftin no matter what people say about the way you do things👍🏽

What a wonderful way to start the day with my coffee. Thank you for sharing your interests again, Crafsman. All right

That tiny bunker is ADORABLE. And sooo well made, so realistic... WOW CrafsMan! You have great talent. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Don’t let the negative people get to you. Your videos are the best. They are so relaxing and easy to follow. You’re very talented with everything you make. Very creative. When it comes to art there is no right or wrong way. There’s only your way.

This has got to be my favorite show on this place. Thanks for that laugh up front.

Hello Craftsman, I never knew that miniature materials were even made and it looks fantastic! You have given me some great ideas on this episode. I am so looking forward to building a doll house in the near future so I can use some of these ideas to make things more realistic. Thank you for the insperation you give me! By the way....Ms. Cottons music is very beautiful, that lady sure can play some guitar!!!

I've been lately messing with making some resin toys using the information I've got from you, Crafsman. I'm always really nervous doing new things, because I'm afraid of doing it wrong (or even less than perfect), but you've helped me get past that, at least with the mold making and what not. You showed me that there's some leeway in how to use all that. That's exactly what I needed. Showing us a different way to do something isn't the same as showing us the wrong way. Thank you so much.

I've never commented on any of the videos I watch on RU-vid and probably still wont after this...I just wanted to let you know I love watching your videos, they make me happy and always bring a smile to my face. I believe there is no right or wrong way, Everyone has a diffrent way of going about things. Thank you for making each video and bringing so much joy to everyone watching!
