      While refreshing to see, as someone on the spectrum who is adverse to sudden loud noises and who watches these types of videos to relax when I'm stressed out..... I would have appreciated a clearer warning to take off my headphones or mute. 😕
      I was really quite startled. I was 100% not expecting such visible emotion. Quite disturbing to me when I'm not expecting that kind of content incoming.
      "Clamping it got tricky" does nothing to inform that an emotional, loud outburst is incoming.... In a genre of video that is typically very methodical and chill to watch. I might expect that kind of outburst on a video called "Maker loses it while clamping wood for epic custom wormhole table"....
