Matty, I am sure I speak for everyone... please PLEASE take care of yourself first and worry about machining videos later. Stay strong, keep your head up and show us that famous Aussie grit!
We are all praying for you, as I said before take it easy, hope all goes well and don’t lose heart Nice to see what your missus did !! Merry Christmas Dave
Matty, you are a lucky man to have a wife that still has a sense of humour after everything you two have been through. Some will not understand that but we endure these things together if we are lucky. I have seen your efforts to continue and I appreciate that. The fact that she gave you a laugh is probably good medicine for you both. I hope the doctors can help you get through this comfortably. All the best to you both. Don't waste your energy if you are not feeling up to it. I am sure all your audience would rather see you on the mend. We have never met, but I consider you a mate! All the best, my friend!
Much appreciated Ken, its been a struggle but staying motivated has been a goal I set from the start, Bec has been amazing and held everything together, Have a great Christmas and all the best for 24 mate, Cgheers
Becky really is a keeper there Matty, what a Christmas present. I don't think any of us subscribers are going to miss a machining video, we just want you to focus yourself on getting better. Have a very merry Christmas and a much, much happier New Year. All the best from Yorkshire. Update. Being a nosy bugger, I found the mill on the H&F website, really nice, made in Taiwan. Looking forward to seeing that in use in the New Year.
Gday Bill, Hopefully one day ill have that mill sitting on the concrete, Bec got me good this year thats for sure, Merry Christmas and all the best for 24 mate, Cheers
Matty, we love you and your outlook on life!!! I haven’t walked your road, so I won’t say “I know how you feel”. But I’ve walked alongside friends that have trod your path, and I’m praying for you as I prayed for them. Best of luck from Texas USA, amigo, and know we are behind you and alongside you all the way!! Good luck, friend, Bob
"Hey Matty! I'm thinking of you and sending you positive energy during your journey. Your determination through this tough time is truly admirable. your videos always make me smile, and I have no doubt you'll continue to create amazing things. Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a happy New Year. Keep crafting!"
Gday, Its been a big battle to keep the videos coming but its been worth it, its kept me motivated and in a positive frame of mind, Have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024, Cheers
Matty please just look after yourself, it’s more important that you give yourself time to recover your strength physically, mentally and emotionally. If you feel up to it just do a quick update chat like this one. ❤ to you, Becky🧑🎄 and the family. 👍🏴
You do what you can my friend! My prayers and hopes are for you Matty! You be the man you know you are and keep going on! Never quit! Never give up my friend!
Merry Christmas Matty to you and your lovely family. Everybody knows that health comes first. Thanks for letting us know how things are. We care as much about you as you care about us. Thanks.
Matty, keep going, you can do it. Chemotherapy is so important BUT sure does take its tool. My wife had her 15th and final Chemotherapy last week. Such a tough experience for her. It can be done. Dig deep, concentrate on your fight against your illness and put RU-vid to one side. Good luck 👍
Hang in there. They told my sister that she only had two years tops; over 10 years ago. She had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. My prayers are with you. Chuck . . .
Awesome engineered surprise by Becky 👍 Don't worry about the video's, were praying for you and yours, hang in there and keep the chin up.. Stray strong and sending positive health waves your way.. Merry Christmas, Your friend from the US...
Gday Dean, perfectly engineered I'd say and Bec got me good, Thanks for all your support through out the year, Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024, Cheers
Don't stress about videos. Your health is far more important. The wrapping of everything reminded me of the time my late wife went and wrapped up a race engine I was buying from a friend. A merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hang in there Matty - six sessions was pretty rough; fingers crossed the docs get the scans sorted and find a way forward. Don't fret about the videos - you've done a sterling job so far. Brilliant prezzie from the Missus!
Matty, you now need to rest and get well I’m 100% sure your subscribers will be there when your fit and well, maybe one day you will be standing in front of your dream milling machine, merry Christmas Matty from old tel in Scotland 👴🏻👍
Merry Christmas to you and your family. My younger brother went through the same situation as you a few years ago. It was rough for sure but it was successful, and he has been declared cancer free since. Keep the faith and a positive attitude. It helps as much as the treatment. Thank you for sharing.
Gday Steve, Staying positive and motivated is a big key in beating the cancer, ill have a update video out soon oi hope mate, have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024, Cheers
Tomorrow I go in for treatment 21. I haven't been able to do much for many months. I have learned its best not to over do. Take carè and take it slow and eazy and give your body all the energy it needs to heal.
A laugh, not really. A warm smile, most certainly. There is a motor/electronics shop I do business with down south of me a bit. His wife, who's also the clerk, is about 1 year ahead of you with non-hodgkin's. She sends her best wishes and to tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. It just might not feel that way. Take care and give Becky a hug, she deserves it.
Thanks very much mate, it hasn't been an easy road and im hoping to have an update video out soon explaining what's going on, Have a great Christmas and all the very best for 2024, Cheers
Brilliant, fantastic job Becky. You need to get well Matty, got a new mill to set up, and pay for your good lady wife's jewellery 😊. No problem in not getting in the shop and making videos, health and family come first. All the best to you, and your family 👪
Gday, One day ill have the new mill sitting on the concrete and thats a day im looking forward to, Bec really did a good job making everyone laugh, Have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024, Cheers
Merry Christmas and happy New Year. We all here just for the support and encouragement to keep going. Seeing your videos weekly makes me appreciate how much we can all push through. We all couldn’t care if you sat there and talked about what your going through everyone would still watch. Its the drive to keep trying that makes me watch your channel. Hope you have a great xmass and she finally gets the mill you need. Lol
Gday, The support has been amazing and I can't thank everyone enough, staying motivated has been hard but its been worth it, I'll have a update going soon, Merry Christmas and all teeniest for 24, Cheers
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! I really enjoy watching your work and the education that goes along with the projects you show us.Nice work!
Happy Christmas Matty, hope you and yours have a wonderful one my friend Thanks for the update on your rust, hope you're feeling a bit better? Yeah that Chemo fucks you up eh, everything's crossed for you Lots of love to you mate
thanks for the update matt, dont worry about the machining video. keep your chin up and take it day by day. happy xmas and hope things start to get better for you.
Hi Matty, I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year, and above all good health, that's the most important thing right now. I believe you have a great family that supports you. all the best
What you are going through is not easy. We feel for you Matty. I hope the doc has so good ideas for you when you see him. Merry Christmas to you and the family from us here in NZ. Take care.
Merry Christmas, Matty. A special partner makes all the difference and makes life worth fighting for. Be good to yourself and savor the holidays with your loved ones. And we're looking forward to seeing your new floorplan with a place for the new mill! Cheers.
Best wishes to you and yours Matty. Your vid certainly put a festive smile on my face this morning. Hope it all goes well with the doc, workshop vids can wait, your health is more important.
Merry Xmas Matty to you and yours, sorry to hear that you are struggling with the chemo. I've always said they won't ever get the chance to put that shit in my veins, even with the long history of cancer in my family, take care and I hope you get some good news from the Doc 👍
Keep the faith bud,and keep fighting.try not to worry about putting out a machining videos, focus on getting yourself better.all of your subscribers are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Great bit by your lady and nice to see you chuckle a bit. They say laughter is the best medicine, I hope you get through this, enjoyed hearing from you, and Merry Christmas, mate!
No apologies necessary. You will NOT be the only one to pull the pin before the end of chemo. The bright spot about that is that MOST people will not need the full treatment schedule but the docs just don't know where that "most" cuts off so they encourage you to go the lot - even though it is possible four (for example) MIGHT have done the job. Think nice thoughts - like how to get back at domestic management (in the nicest way) and how to enjoy the festive season NOT working in the shop. But bottom line - HANG IN THERE!
Hi Matty, I sincerely wish you all the best with your treatment. I have seen my father, middle sister and a boss go through it and now my stepdaughter is going through the treatment so from seeing them I know how hard it can be. Just remember your health and family come first we can wait for the videos and if you need to take a break just take it. Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and All the best for the New Year.
Gday, It would be the hardest thing ive every been through and its really important to keep a positive attitude and stay motivated, have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024, Bec and I wish your step daughter all the best, Cheers
No need for apologies, Matty. You can only do what you can do. Prayers continue for your health and comfort. Merry Christmas, and all the best to you and yours, from America. Charlie
Take care of yourself mate, and look after that missus of yours. Have a great Christmas and new year. Take a break and we look forward to seeing you well and healthier in the new year. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Nollaig Shona Dhuit as we say here in Ireland.
Matty, my father in-law is going through his second set of chemo. It was hard the first and even harder this time. I feel for you brother. Take care of yourself and get better. We are all cheering for you and will be here when you are able to put out any new machining videos. Cheer's mate and best of news from your Dr. 🙏
i so hope for the best,not only for you,but for your loved once to - you go and beat this shit,Matty! that's an order! Merry christmas and a happy new year to you,mate - and hopes for many more
There may not have been any machining in the video but it is still gold and great to see you laugh. Merry Christmas to you and your family and we pray that the new-year is better than this year.
Merry Christmas Matty and family!! Praying for you mate. It is not an easy thing going through chemo that is for sure but I pray that the cancer has shrunk and that you will beat the thing. You stay strong. Cheers

Good day Mattie, enjoy the Christmas and have as long a break as you need. See you when you come back, no need to stretch yourself, very best wishes to your Lady. Ray.
Matty, new subscriber from the USA here. My Mother went through the same thing. Do what you have to do to make it day by day. Our prayers are with you; praying for some help from the CA doctor this week. Watching the old videos for the first time. Loving you candor and commentary. Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.

Hope its all going well Matty, stay strong and if you don't want to get out of bed don't...just do what works for you mate. Keep it real Merry christmas
I've been building, mainly welding up MRI scanners for many years. Hopefully all the hard work helps many people like yourself. Best of luck with everything!
Sorry to see you out of sorts Matty. Prayers going up right now from Southern California! You just take it easy and no worries about the videos. We'll be here when you are up for it mate!
Ha Matty nice new mill not sure how it will go with flood coolant though !!! anyway you just do what you can do and we will cross our fingers and hope for the best.
merry christmas to you and yr loved ones. when I had my treatment I ended up seeing a dietician who suggested I try and up my protein intake. It wasnt a magic solution, but i did end up with more energy once I changed my food. Still knackered but less than before.
