Amazing, I've been watching you since I had 10k subs. I always thought you should have had so many more. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing !
Well, thanks to a long term subscriber. It's nice to know that some folks keep coming back for more. My little TH-cam subscriber counter keeps me informed about how many "subscribers lost" that I have. It's currently up to 8898. It's a sobering reminder that you are probably only as successful as your last video. At the end of the day though, it doesn't worry me too much. I think that over the last 8 years, I have only had a handful of negative comments. If 10 people watch a video and get something from it I regard that as a win. Regards, Mark
Gday Preso, congratulations to all the winners, it’s bloody frustrating when scammers try to take advantage of the viewers, it really turns you off from doing giveaways, cheers
Thanks for the video, and damn the complainers and scammers , I think it was very generous of you to have the give away and that it does not detour you from possibly doing something similar in the future. Best to you !
Thanks. I do like the idea that I can continue teaching others. I enjoyed teaching young people and when I retired I thought I would miss it. I suspect my audience is not exactly school age but it doesn't matter. Most kids thought they knew everything anyway. However there was a small cohort that soaked up every last morsel of knowledge from their tutors and they were immediately identifiable in a class of 24 or so. Most had what we called "cow eyes". They were the resistant ones, but you could pick out a few kids with the spark of curiosity in their eyes and they were the ones that made the job worthwhile. Regards, Mark
@@Preso58 I am now 58, but I still find myself sitting at the computer for hours soaking up what has been done and combining those techniques to come up with new ones. Love your work!!
I nearly got scammed but there was some spelling mistakes and poor grammar that I'd didn't think you would make, keep up the good work Mark and congrats to the winners.
I'm glad you didn't get ripped off. I was hoping that people would notice that poor grammar and syntax were a dead giveaway that it was all a badly executed scam. Regards, Mark
Maybe I was naïve, but I didn't think that someone would make such a low level scam attempt from a TH-cam giveaway. It's not exactly going to net someone a small fortune. Why bother? Regards, Mark
Mark,, I have just become the Australian Distributor for Anchorlube a cutting fluid for mills, lathes and drills, if you would like to try a sample and could give me your opinion or the product just send me your postal address regards Frank
Frank. I would like to try some Anchorlube. I have seen it used on so many videos from our friends in the USA and I was quite jealous that they had ready access to it. I do have a policy of paying for products that I use on my channel though and I am happy to pay the regular price. Please email me on mark.presling@gmail.com and we can work something out Regards, Mark
Congrats to the winners (I am NOT a bad looser. I'm Not. I'm really not. Well. maybe a little) Keep up the great channel, I love it. I've learned a lot here.
Hi mark not a good way of drawing it at all mate you percificly stated a set of words and it was spelt In capable letters and the two words DIE HOLDER You even stated this then and on the draw then you just used the word DIE And the winners one was right and two were wrong not right or fairly done Your draw not mine so cheers
I know and I expected that some people would be disappointed that I wasn't more strict with the selection criteria. Unfortunately, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. Regards, Mark
@@Preso58 Mark i am sorry you see it this way . as it was you that set the rules and the specific words to type in capitals . ( DIE HOLDER ) NOT die or DIE HOLDERS but ( DIE HOLDER ) yes it has upset me if you look at it this way when you measure some part . do you go to the nearest inch ! or do you take it to the tens of thousands of an inch . principals apply any way your way to do it so not mine Cheers

Well done mark that’s a very slick selection process.
The real prize is watching the amazing things you build and you are still teaching.

Geez mate, nearly didn’t recognise you in the civvies and no apron. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Unfortunately there will always be ding dongs out there trying to scam people. But, good stuff Mark and congrats to the 3 winners.

Well if I'd had known that vegemite was part of the prize I would have entered twice 🤣🤣
Congratulations to the winners!
