- One purposeful step, a momentous journey & Abraham Lincoln's Mystery Mallet. How one woodworking video ever so slighlty changed my trajectory & ultimately had a far bigger impact on my entire life, than I could imagine.

I’m sitting here in silence, and nodding ❤️ You got me good brother
Appreciate you
@@GumtreeHillWoodworkmate I’m a new subscriber, came here from Dainsys channel (love ya Dainsy.) really appreciate you telling your story. We all have our internal battles and it’s not easy to be open and honest about what we’re going through. Your story will help others take that next step, and the next. Keep doing your thing mate!!
@tylerdurden5122 thanks for stopping in Tyler. It means a lot to hear things like that & I appreciate your words & your time mate, cheers
This really is one of the best and powerful videos that i've seen in quite a while. Thankyou so very much for sharing, mate. This is a great video for people who are just hanging on. Woodwork is such a great therapeutic thing. My old man was a farrmer and logger in the Huon Valley, and he used to woodturn as his self-therapy during a terminal brain tumour. I sat and watched him until one day he encouraged me to be involved too. He passed away not too long afterwards but I still turn now 50 years later and wonder if he'd approve of the things that I make.
If you're still doing it and enjoying it, he'd approve mate.
Dale ! Thank you so much mate, the gravity of that compliment is sincerely appreciated. I really hope someone would manage to pull something from the video in such dire times .... I mean, I hope they can just generally pull something from anywhere in those times really. Wow, I couldn't imagine how cool of an experience it would of been back in the day, down in the Huon, getting to witness life like that. You're old man sounds like he was obviously tough as nails, but the fact that he was proactively turning for therapy speaks volumes about how open & wise was too. ❤ when did your escape to the mainland??
@@GumtreeHillWoodwork Sam, you are a blessing. I just shared what you asked, brother!!
Huon Valley, My patch of the world, we really are all connected in the most unexpected ways.
@@delbasidtimbers on your page ? I'll be all over it in the morning ? Cheers Dale 🫡🫶🏼
Hey mate. I'm Michael and my baby woodworking brand is WildWoods. Thankfully my story isn't as difficult as yours has been but I have had my mental health challenges and still do. Every time i step into my garage for some workshop time it helps me recover from the stresses of life and I know how lucky I am to have found that outlet. My lovely wife Estelle helped me buy my first functional lathe and I still have it to this day 6 or 7 years later.
There's no reason to downplay or compare your difficulties to someone else's Michael. The hardest thing you've been through is still the hardest thing you've been through... regardless of what someone has gone through. Glad to hear you're a member of Team Woodwork Therapy too. Hope it continues to do wonders.
I'm glad you made the video, Sam. I'm proud of you mate, firstly for sharing your story and secondly, and probably more importantly, for allowing yourself to heal. It's no mean feat to be open and honest when you're suffering but it's harder to do something about it. You've done both, legend. I wish you all the very best mate. Oh yeah, the mallet, what a corker. Good job. 👌👍
Sincerely fills my heart Brian. Your video not long ago was truly inspiring mate & your battle a extremely commendable one! Thanks so much for the kind words. Health, wealth & good fortune to you & all of yours mate
Nothing more peaceful and relaxing in this world than calmly cutting out joinery in my workshop on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Of course, there is also nothing more frustrating in the world than trying to madly fit my joinery together without cracking or splitting the timber, but that's a different story. 😉
Oh so you watched me trying to barbariclly shove the previous handle down the same hole to no avail & then go outside to scream cry then did ya !!! Handtool joinery they say!! It's so relaxing they said !! 🤣 cheers for watching amigo
I must find my lost horse amongst the trees and I hope many others do too.
I had a comfy start to life. I went to uni. I have never been plagued by any kind of addiction. I have simply done the 9-5 for 35 years in order to feed the family. I have shown up every day to do what my employers need me to do. Do I have a vocation? Do I have purpose? This video just shines a light on life and living and what that might actually be.
Sam this is a brave confessional and feels to me like it was a message delivered straight from the soul. Your story is as beautiful as your mallet and the allegory is so rich. Thank you for having buttons that I can press and for your inspiration.
Thank you so much, for the such thoughtful sentiments & compliments. I really appreciate it 🙏 I don't think "simply" has anything close to a right in describing what showing up to a 9to5, for 35yrs looks like. That is a truly commendable path, even more so by the fact that more often than not, it's a path blazed by necessity. I hope you manage to find that horse, purpose or at least meaning in some or it all 🙏 every couple of years, I get to thinking like this & I'm reminded of David Foster Wallaces - 'This is water' commencement speech .... I'm going to go youtube it now again, maybe you might get something out of it too, if you haven't already. Thank you once again, for watching & contributing
A constant stream of youtube content over years finally got me to the place where I was feeling educated enough to take some small steps into guitar import and restoration. Like yourself I was feeling very much out of direction, no focus, constantly fatigued and of little worth to the house, unemployed off the back of a failed career in the ADF. With a little bit of spare cash to outlay and acquire some stock I was quickly turning over stock and able to rinse and repeat thanks the the knowledge I had gained through simply listening and observing. Come covid that market was ripped from me and I needed to go big. An inheritance meant I could go all in on some woodworking machines and tools so I took a huge leap of faith and as you put it just kept taking the next step. I built myself a handful of guitars before I got my first commission. I continued to make the push to one-up myself, my efforts were recognised and I am lucky enough to find myself in a position of a very niche market instructing others how to build instruments, leading them through a process one step at a time that they too would not have thought possible prior to their course. Today my first student wrapped up his build, it was a pretty huge deal for me!
Mate!! That is brilliant to hear. What a true hero's journey! Kudos to you for backing yourself & going all in when you need to. Commendable effort. Here's to years more of deserved success & stepping into the unknown 🙌
@@GumtreeHillWoodwork back atcha mate!
Hey fella, I'm a pom (do you guys still call us that?) watching your vid, not just because I'm dabbling in woodwork but because I'm a mental health first aider. It's so important for guys to share there mental health journeys. Especially in this new world with Instagram filtered perfection thrust in our faces.
Good on you for sharing and I reckon you've inspired/ helped more blokes than you think by doing it.
One of your countrymen created a video called "a black dog called depression" which is great, I recommend everyone watches it at least once
Gday John, some of my mates will still hit me with the odd "pom" to this day, & I left London as a 4yo 😆 so the term is still strong as it ever was. Thank you so much for the feedback that's coming from a bloke that is assumably, extremely well versed on the topic. I am very grateful to read those words & hope that you're right about helping people. I don't believe I have seen the video, but am going to check for it now & add it to the 'watch later' playlist, I'll most definitely share it round where need be too. Cheers again for taking your time John. Take care mate
Thank you for sharing mate.
So glad you are here with us and taking the steps you are.
Beautifully made mallet, beautifully told story.
I have had my own mental health journey due to a psychological injury sustained at a job I worked at. I have since moved on but hard to leave the things that happened behind. Woodwork, art and being creative are helping me and you guys who share not only your skills but stories help a lot too.
@sirmilesspitzoodle8929 really appreciate the compliments mate & thanks for opening up about your struggle. Yep physical scratches & scars heal & get forgotten of, but psychological ones can be left to fester. Hope you keep proactive & productive, it sounds like you've got your priorities well in order. Take care & thanks again for your time
Thank you for sharing this Sam, it cannot have been easy to be this vulnerable knowing the internet can be a brutal and shitty place. Not enough of us are this open and honest with our trauma, struggles, and experiences. Thank you.
Talking to camera in general was the uneasy part Phil 😆 It was the most alien feeling to look at a machine & converse AT it 😫 but, I've never really had any issue with wearing my heart on my sleeve .... & my level of self depreciation & not really giving a fuck about what ppl think of me, as long as it doesn't effect them, is borderline problematic 😆 I recognise similar traits in you 🤣 sincerely appreciate the kind words mate, hope you're feeling as well as humanly possible 🫶🏼
Damn Sam, had me tearing up. Love your honesty. Can’t help to feel that your story will get someone struggling through to the other side. You are a gem of a human being.
Cheers Guy !! Don't let my emotional waffling ruin your day Cobber 😉 get out there & enjoy yourself. Thanks heaps for the kind words as always mate. I really hope someone finds something from the video & takes a step out of it 🙏
Now _that_ is how you do an intro video. Welcome to RUclips Sam.
Cheers JAMES !! Let the roller-coaster begin right 😆
You're a good man Sam - beautiful, powerful piece of honesty, wit, and wisdom - so well done.
Really appreciate the kind words Rod 🙏 thank you for watching mate
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m so glad you took that step and kept taking another…
Thanks so much Ashley 🙏 🫶🏼
Awesome and honest vid Sam, so glad you found a calling and came out the other side.
Woodworking and making something from nothing is so satisfying and great for the mind, took me a lot longer to discover the hobby, but I’ve never been happier.
Great to see you include the other Mell-et , she’s a classic 👏👏👏
Cheers heaps Damo ! 🙏 yeah you don't realise how valuable something as simple as a hobby can be, until you feel like you have nothing. Glad you stumbled into too.... here's to being undisputed #makerscollab24 champions 🏆 🙌🤣
Thank you for this inspiring video. Woodwork has been very important to me for several years, and especially over the past few months since my mother passed away. When it seems as if there aren't enough hours in the day it's important to make time for something that brings joy, something that occupies the mind. There are few things more satisfying than using a sharp hand plane. I take every possible opportunity to use my great-grandfather's Stanley no. 6. Making bowls on a lathe is very rewarding. I recognise from your video that excitement of thinking about a new project. I'm realising more and more just how lucky I am to have these things as part of my life. Welding is my next challenge. Keep up the good work.
What beautiful sentiments , thanks for sharing Arthur. I hope you're adjusting as well as possible to your recent farewell. May you every stroke of that legacy plane draw silky, smooth ribbons & calm those raging waters inside 🫡🫶🏼
Binge drinking as a hobby is underrated! 🤙
I almost went Pro with it 😆
I’m the Tony Hawk of it! 😂
Great video homie! Maybe I should make a mallet. 🤷♂️
Wow! I was not expecting to stumble onto this video. This hit me right in the chest. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for stumbling here & giving it your time mate 🫡
Thank you Sam for sharing your story, great work at finding woodworking to keep you going and getting you on the right track. Thanks for making a video mate.
Appreciate it heaps thanks mate 🫡
Yes! Great story, great video and an intensely beautiful mallet! Looking forward to what’s next!
Onya Alex brother !! Hoping to see more videos from you soon because that last one was epic !!
Good to hear your story, Sam! Many folks out there need this message. Cheers brother!
Cheers Justin 🫡 appreciate you brother
Sam , just a huge thank you mate 👍🏾 hobby woodworking saved me before it was almost lost.
I'm glad to hear you found it when you really needed it Kym! Hope it continues to help you & you never end up anywhere near that place your were once in! All the best 🙏
Brilliant video, and a great story Sam, thanks for sharing, and glad you made it!
Thank you so much Geoff ! Always great to hear from you
Awesome, absolutely awesome.
Its great to see someone so geniune. Thankyou for sharing your journey.
Woodworking is definitely good for the soul.
Really appreciate hearing all of that mate! Thanks for watching
Had to watch this twice, glad you're in a better place.
Thanks so much mate 🙏 appreciate you watching & watching 😏
Well said Sam. Looking forward to seeing you continue to move forward along this path.
Cheers for being apart of the journey Billy. Look forward to seeing your moves as well mate! 🙏🫡
Thank you for your courage and genuine and raw account of your journey, it most certainly is a raging battlefield of emotions and struggles when coming to terms of emotional, physical and mental challenges. I truly applaud you for your video it has helped and inspired me to extents you cannot understand.
And to “dainermade” what a legend and a humble scholar…. A tremendous heart felt thank you to you both.. ❤❤❤
Comments like this make me wish I had of listened to Dainsey long ago & laid it out there in hopes it may help someone. Thanks so much for watching & sharing your kind words Jason. All the best to you mate, take care 🫶🏼
I needed this video today. Thanks for the grit and honesty.
& I needed to hear feedback like this. Stand up & give em hell.
Wow... Great story Sam, I'm here because of Dainer's recommendation and I'm so glad I took the time to watch your video. I'm wrapped you've found something in woodworking that helped you take that first step on your journey.
I'm very lucky in that I think I already have the 3 hobby thing covered and while I get to be creative in my day job (software design) I have started woodworking to feed my creativity in a manner that results in a physical, tangible result and the quote from Dainer you put at the end was my first real step to that as well. Just Get Started.
Over the last number weeks, I've struggled to find time for "joining bits of wood to other bits of wood" and I've become a grumpy bastard around the house.
Today I snuck out for an hour and the simple job of taking some old pieces of reclaimed timber, de-nailing them, and milling them square on an arrangement of table saw jigs I've all learnt from various RUclipsr's has given me an extra little spring in my step, and a splinter in my hand...
Thanks again for taking the time to make this video, it really was amazing to hear your journey and see the process of that mind boggling joint.
Gday Craig! Thanks so much for joining me & taking the time to share mate. Glad to hear you're all over the 3 Hobby approach. Being able to afford the luxury & time to exercise your body & your mind is so crucial but the way so many people are time poor nowadays, can still be so commonly neglected. I hear ya on the slipping away into the shop for even just a few minutes to reset the mood!! After spending so long trying to figure out the editing process to make this video, I couldn't of been happier to just get back into the neglected workshop for an hour or so, just to organise 🤣 take care Craig, cheers again mate
❤
🫶🏼🧡
Now then Sam what a great video. Honest, relatable and inspiring thanks so much for making it.
PS let’s have a few more of these please
Thanks so much Steve, too kind. You're a top bloke. Working towards a couple ideas at the moment, so there is hope. Appreciate your kind words & your time mate
Dayum. Amazing mallet. Amazing story 🙏🙏🙏. Keep up the great work!! Keen for more of your videos 💪💪💪
Cheers Bernie!! Thank you bro 🙏
Sam! What a powerful story brother. This is going to make a difference in a lot of people’s lives. So well done in so many different ways. Good on ya mate!
Joey brother!! Thank you so much mate, appreciate you 🙏 crazy to think that listening to me ramble may actually help somebody, but that is the coolest shit in the world to me. Onya cheers mate 🫶🏼
Thank you for sharing. Been working on my woodworking journey for a couple of years, started with a video on making a chess board. Figuring things out and failing often keeps me going. I find woodworking to be very meditative, sometimes spending hours without stopping for anything and the time just melts away.
Thank you mate! I relate heavily to the figuring out & the failing keeping me going part as well, I'm not sure if I'm driven more by determination or stubbornness 😆 The time sure does fly. Woodworking is one of, if not the only, time I often wish the days were longer. Cheers
What a grate video. I don’t often sit in silence and concentrate on every word but this made me do so. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your story.
Thanks mate, I'm really happy to hear that. Cheers for taking the time to watch
Imma say nothin
You said it all man.
Im an alcoholic drug addict whos got a gambling problem. 10yrs clean on them all. And no more.smoking since jan3. :)
That is incredible Trent, salute to you mate. Truly commendable effort, keep winning mate 🫡
Mate.... Honest, raw and so bloody well said. The first step of any journey is the hardest, and sharing even harder, but its a story will help so many, so thankyou for sharing! Also killer mallet mate. True craftsmanship!
Cheers for the kind words David! Appreciate it mate, take care
Thank you for sharing such a difficult subject, I'm not there yet but maybe someday - your words and accomplishments are inspiring. Thank you
You're only one step away from beginning the journey of getting there 🙏 cheers
We seem to have a common interest / pastime in home economics. I was in a very similar path at high school. I was suspended from cutting off the legs of an entire fabric class of stuffed frogs.
Hahaha only need a 3 second look at you Ash, to realise that you used to be a bit of a loose unit 🤣 & I use the term "used to be" loosely
Sitting watching your video, second time through, trying to think of something to say, something fantastic, inspiring, wonderful, but I have nothing, your story says it all. I will just say this, thank you for sharing Sam 🤘🏼
You're a legend Lucas, cheers bloke 🙌
Keep it coming my friend!!!! You have one of my favourite instagram accounts. This video is great definitely inspires me in woodworking. Thank you.
Really appreciate hearing that Jason. Take care mate!
Right on man. I know how you feel. Been fighting it for a long time myself but at 48, Im better because of the woodworking thing and my kids. As a matter of fact,they are the reason I started. Awesome video prescribed by another great maker Dainer Made!
That's great to hear mate, couldn't be a better reason to get started looking after yourself than for the kids. Hope they someday share the same passion in woodworking as you do. 🙏
I needed this tonight, very relatable! The verses at the end really hit home! Thankyou
Really makes me happy to hear that! Hope the happy, triumphant parts are the MOST relatable but 😄 cheers for watching Matt
Very inspiring video!
A guy once said - You need to stir yourself up, or you'll settle to the bottom.
That is a powerful message ! Thank you for sharing that & for watching 🙏
What a story mate. Good onya for getting out and hopefully inspiring someone who needs it
Cheers Manny , appreciate it mate 🙌
Beautiful video. Thank you.
No thank you 🙏
Your video, your story, is powerful. You are an impressive person. I fell upon your video via "the algorithm". It is probably the first time that I am glad for what it served me to watch. I have no idea how you discovered your video style, but it works. I'm not sure it would work all the time, but for this one story it was perfect. Thank you for sharing your story, your thoughts, and the fortitude for seeing this all through. Finally, one of my favorite quotes is from Abraham Lincoln. It sounds trite, but is deeply meaningful, albeit difficult to achieve: "You are as happy as you choose to be.". Abe had a pretty crappy bit of luck throughout his life (some good as well, but a civil war, a crazy wife, a dead son, and his own depression), but in spite of all that he chose to be happy. It is true. Thank you again.
Thank you so much Bill, I appreciate that you stumbled here & that you took the time to reach out. How fitting to leave an Abe Lincoln qoute too 🙏 I don't recall hearing it before but am very familiar with the line of thinking & believe it as well. People in horrific circumstances, pain & poverty, with no foreseeable way out, can still remarkably function everyday as happy & content people. The mind truly is a powerful thing, for better or for worse. Thanks for the video style compliment too, it just organically came together like it did on this one. The whole process was & is very fluid, so I'm as interested as the next to see where it steers me. Thanks once again mate, take care
Thanks for sharing this Sam.
Made me feel things.
Oh, and the wooden wacking thing is proper tidy too.
Cheers Matt ! I was hoping things were gonna be felt. Happy enough already that it translated & ppl can relate. Silly part is of all the 3 or 4 of those mallets I've made, the one I filmed for the video is by far the worst looking one 😂
That was brilliant
Thank you Anthony 🙏
What a powerful and insightful video.
Sam - I greatly admire your courage and the honesty of your story which is a great inspiration to me.
I wish you well on this journey of yours.
Your skill as a woodworker is undeniable and the hammer is an awesome piece of work.
I look forward to more of your stories and projects.
Stay well mate.
Cheer heaps Theo 🫡 genuinely means a lot to me to hear that. Take care mate
Wow Sam. You nailed it! 🥲 raw, inspiring and look at these comments. People needed this. So proud of you mate. And the quality of the vid! Stitched yaself up here gonna be in the lab for days regularly now haha well done 👏🏼
Haha cheers Bocky brother. Lucky I've got nothing else going on right. Who would of thought all those years ago, that we both were going to turn into inspirations ! 😂 🫶🏼
🙌🏻 powerful story Sam!
Appreciate Dylan my dude 🤙🫶🏼
Great video!
Cheers mate 🤙
For me it was probably yelling at the strange hobo on the job site playing Zach Bryan to turn it ALL THE WAY UP! That led me here now calling said hobo a mate and watching him make impossible mallets on youtube 😂🎉 brutal video dude
Love you fuck face x
This is incredible Sam thanks so much for sharing you story I’ve been waiting a long time for this 🙌😍 can’t wait for the next one
Thank you brother, cheers for putting up with the wait so long & listening to all the setbacks 😆 glad it didn't disappoint 🫶🏼🙏
Mate..... so well put across. Love the video. Amaz-balls!!! 😊
Thanks heaps Stuart 🙏
I am speachless...thanks for sharing brother.
Appreciate you brother 🙏
Awesome video Sam, thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for watching Chloe ☺️
Godspeed, I relate to your journey.
Cheers mate, I hope you relate to the good parts the most!
Great video mate, thanks for sharing your experience. Woodworking was and continues to be something to focus and hold onto since we lost our son, the creative process is a great healer and a big mental health booster 🤙🏻
Really appreciate you watching Andrew. I can't pretend to even close to relate how difficult your journey must of been. All I can do is comment on how commendable it is that you are still standing strong & looking after yourself & your family. That is nothing short of heroic mate. All the best, take care
Powerful video, excellent presentation and the honesty and genuineness shone through. Love that mallet too. Long may your journey continue in joining one piece of timber to another, long may the satisfaction of that feed your soul and allow you to buy groceries.
😆 bless you Claudette ! Appreciate it tremendously!
Sam what a great and insightful video
Cheers heaps Dean!
@GumtreeHillWoodwork no worries mate keep on keeping on
Sam, I needed to hear this. Thank you, I'm really grateful to you for sharing your story. I'm still trying to find my thing.. maybe it's a mallet!!!
Thank you so much Michelle! The only way you find your thing is by being open to trying ALL of the things. Any opportunity you get, just give it a go. Take a step 🙏
Great video, beautiful story telling
Cheers mate, appreciate you watching 🫡
Hey Sam... All the way from South Africa here and DAMN. Thank you to @dainermade, where I saw the post of your video and immediately jumped over to youtube to watch. As an aspiring woodworker and still very very new to all this, but having the desire, there's so many things I can relate to and all I can say is THANK YOU for the honesty.
Cheers mate for watching, hope your desires push you forward. Don't waste time waiting until you're "good enough" to try stuff. Try it all, fail & learn. Then try even harder stuff. "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll still land amongst the stars." 🙏 but most importantly, always listen to Dainsey 😉😆
Thanks for the video. Good luck man!
Appreciate it thank you mate 🙏
Thats pretty deep mate. Well done
Cheers Mark, appreciate it thanks mate
I can relate alot to your mental struggles. I had similar issues myself. Especially during the cold and gloomy months of winter. What ended up saving me was being able to build my own small workshop in the backyard. Still have some rough days. But as soon as I go into my workshop and pick up my tools. Everything slowly melts away and the only thing i hear is the sound of tools.
Looking after your mental health is definitely something a lot of people don't think about until they NEED to. But once you do & you discover the tools to treat it, then it's a game changer! If only doctors considered prescribing these types of activities as well as the other stuff 🙄 cheers for watching mate, all the best to you
Powerful stuff, mate. Mashing those buttons right now to follow your journey!
Cheers Tony !! Thanks for jumping in & being a part of the journey 🫡
Awesome video that would have been hard for me to make a video like that. Great work 💯 👍
Appreciate it cheers Victor 🙌
This was fantastic. I laughed so hard when you said I certainly will safe money doing it myself right? Thanks for sharing mate! incredible story.
That was the one part of the video that you should or cried at 😆 remembering how much money & time you've truly lost 😆 Thanks for watching Tom
@@GumtreeHillWoodwork 😂😂😂😂 worth it every cent
Thanks for opening up with your journey.
Thankfully I dont have anything similar.
I wish you well for the future.
Thank you for the watching, glad to hear your journey hasn't been too dramatic. Hope it continues to be as smooth as sailing gets 🙏 cheers
Dude I loved this, I think we are the same person just in different continents haha. I appreciate you opening up too man, It takes guts to open up like that, and I’ve always wanted to make a video similar but have been in my head too much to do so, so kudos to you! I feel like I’m in those dark days right now trying to figure out the path so I appreciate this video tons. Keep going!
Cheers Anthony, so glad you felt it mate. All the videos you've made are amazing mate, you're doing the world & yourself a disservice not getting it out. Take a step into it, start writing those feelings down or an idea or something... before you know it, it will probably evolve into something else you hadn't even considered yet. Hope your dark days aren't too unbearable mate & your beautiful little family are well. Look forward to seeing you shine brother !
@@GumtreeHillWoodwork Thanks for those kind words brother, Yeah we all crawl out of it eventually. I'll be waiting for more video from ya 👊
Hi @GumtreeHillWoodwork you earned yourself a subscriber 4ever mate from Dainsy's channel ... good luck in your journey and keep up the good work and positive way of thinking
Cheers mate, thanks for listening to Dainsey & popping over here. Keep listening to Dainsey, it's always a smart move 😉🙏

Well done mate, keep up and good luck to you 💪🙂👍
Thanks so much mate, likewise!! Take care 🫡🙌
Truly awesome video Sam
Cheers Glen! Thank you so much for watching mate 🙏
Hi there I didn't take one step. I followed a powem from American Robert Frost. The road less travelled... a road diverged in a yellow wood and seeing about the same I took the one less travelled. And that made all the difference.
Thank you for sharing Paul. You encouraged me to just look up & re-read that poem. 🙏 Its going to be rattling around in my head all day now & that's a great thing. Cheers
Fuck mate, you make sense...
🙏🙌
What happened to the horse??!!!
😧 I never made it that far in the story! I'm pretty sure there was a Mule in that book too, maybe the boy & the mule ate the horse
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this mate!! I remember watching a @punishedprops video making a foam Viking shield and thinking 'I could do that!' I did. Little did I know it would lead to over 300 similar shields being made a delivered to sick kids around Australia under the not-for-profit I run called @littlewarriorshields
That first step. Who knows where it could lead!!
Damo, you are a real life superhero. I'm not even exaggerating. Bless you mate.
@@GumtreeHillWoodwork Thank you Sir!! Appreciate that muchly!🤗🛡
