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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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).

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. :)

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. :)

Motivation is very weird and it swings high and low when you do or don't have ideas.

@TheCrafsMan 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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. :)

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.

Thank you for taking the time and the introspection to create this lovely primer on overcoming personal obstacles. Keep Steady Craftin’ Brother.
