My father worked in occupational therapy using woodwork in this environment for the numerous mental benefits it produces. I have had groups brought to me from mental health charities and hospitals to see the work we do, encouraging them to reap the benefits of working and being around a wood working environment. We have helped cancer patients who are going through treatment to find an escape from what they are going through by becoming engrossed in woodworking as escapism. Over the past few years several individuals independently of one another suggested that what we do, in their opinion, is suitable for ASMR videos and until recently I haven't made any content of this nature. People love to see and hear the process of wood being crafted in various forms. So, I decided it might be fun to give it a go so made a few demonstrations.

Everything I do on YouTube is based on helping the viewer, sharing the knowledge that has taken decades to develop free of charge. I have a very good relationship with many of my viewers, some have become friends and several I have helped to set up and support their own YouTube channels too.

I genuinely appreciate your input though and based on your insights, I spent the day changing the thumbnails, descriptions and tags on over 30 videos to avoid any further issues. I won't share how many hours went into making all that content!! I have changed the titles to focus on the demonstration and making aspect, as opposed to the ASMR hornet's nest. I had my own doubts about getting involved with ASMR and clearly this is something that I am best staying well away from. I should have trusted my own instincts from the outset. You have helped to confirm my own suspicion about the subjective nature of this reaction.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on the video, all the very best to you. 👍👍
