Hi Mark, An impressive and beautiful video. I wish the year 2023 brings health and happiness to all people and you. May it be a beautiful world full of peace. A warm hug. Big greetings. Kind regards Mehmet
Thanks so much Mehmet, it's good to hear from you. Happy New Year to you, I have you all there have a very prosperous and productive 2023. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Cheers mate.
What a wonderful video Mark! I am more of an agnostic. But I have always appreciated your warm and heartfelt blessings in your videos immensely. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers.
I quite understand your caution when it comes to faith - some of the Christians I know are not good advertisements for the love of God! (Me included) But take my advice mate, keep your eye out for the Lord; He might be sneaking up on you. Much love and... well, you know the rest.
Thank you Your Greatness, I had no idea you were that old, you look different in the sculptures. Thanks a lot for always looking in Grant and recommending me in your podcast, I really appreciate it. A very happy Christmas to you all there and God's greatest blessings during 2023! I'll let you get off and do some mighty sweeping now.
Haha, I love this Mark! I know you've heard me ask about the hat...so not a surprise but definitely gave me a good laugh. I know this is late and I'm sorry for...being late but I know you got my email...Merry Christmas I hope you had as well as a happy Boxing Day. I hope we're both around for another year...I know I'll keep looking forward to your videos. You are one in a million Mark. Thanks for making these videos they brighten my week!
Hello Rob, thanks so much for looking again yet again! Oddly enough I've had a few more enquires about my hat including a very pleasant young chap at the coal depot who wondered if Kath might make him one. So there you are - a cottage industry in the making. God bless you all there mate and a very happy New Year to you all.
Thanks so much for looking in. I'm a bit nervous of how this video will go down but I had to declare eventually. The Queen's Christmas broadcasts genuinely inspired me to just go for it. God bless you all there and have a wonderful Christmas.
You know Rob, I genuinely enjoy sanding. One of these days I'll make an epic three hour video of but sanding. That'll be a winner, eh? Cheers mate and thanks for looking in, I really appreciate it.
Funny stuff Mark, I had a wee chuckle with the “old smoothie” comment. Tell you what though we are going to get a cold snap here in Texas later this week, it will hit -14C, if you can believe that. Anyway wish you the best during this festive time. Stay warm sir, cheers…
I believe it mate but I'm glad I'm not there for it. It got to -2C here overnight and we thought that was a big deal! It's a bit milder now. Yeah, good old George Sanders. That why we 'sand' things now - good job it wasn't invented by Efraim Zimbalist Jr, eh? All the very best mate and God's blessings for the holidays and for 2023.
A merry Christmas and a happy New year to you and yours Mark. I think you have really out done yourself with the history sanding. I'll keep an eye out for the BAFTA nomination. Looking forward 2023.
Thank you so much Bernie, I appreciate that. A very happy first Christmas in your new house. I'll get back to you just as soon as I've thought up some funny words that fit BAFTA. It takes me a lot longer than it used to...
Very good video as usual Mark, you are a very clever man. I was very amused by the history of sanding based on the "look at life" series, very clever indeed.
Thanks so much John; I'm not sure clever is quite the word! But you recognized the scenes I pinched from the Look at Life films? I've got them all on disc and find them fascinating - are you a fellow fan of the films?
@@MarkMcCluney I am indeed Mark I love the music played with Look at Life and they bring back fine memories of watching them in the cinema as a youngster. They are rerunning them on TV channel 82 Talking pictures.
Best. Christmas. Message. Ever. This is marvellous. I loved your sanding video... I'm sitting laughing now and I am going to watch it again when I finish this comment. Anyone who watches your videos already knows you are a man of Faith so shouldn't be shocked by your revelation and, if anyone finds themselves offended, well, that's on them. A major highlight of my year, and Rosemary's, was getting to meet you and Kath. Most people on here will never get to do that so I consider myself very fortunate indeed. I wish Kath and you a Happy and Holy Christmas. I hope 2023 is kind to you both. Brendan.
Brendan, I can't tell you how encouraging this is for me. Meeting you and Rosie properly was definitely one of the highlights of the year. What a shame we left it for forty odd years! Thanks for all your moral and practical support. God bless you all there. Now, get back to Chicken Soup Patrol.
Incredible history lesson Mark! Wish you were my history teacher back in school. I think this video belongs in a museum of some kind, educating the people of the future! Great video mate, laughed a ton!
I just thought it was time the truth was revealed about sanding mate. It's been the poor cousin of woodworking for too long. Glad you enjoyed this Clint.

This was a very nice and unconventional video. I guess that your courage and honesty will get you even more visitors than you lose. I look forward to your videos next year and wish you Merry Christmas and good health. Stephan
Stephan, thank you so much for these greatly encouraging words. I've been putting this 'admission' off for years knowing that some folks would not understand but eventually it had to be said. I knew, that whatever your feelings are, you would be honest and encouraging. Even though we've never met, I'm proud to have you as a friend. God bless you mate and Frohe Weihnacht. (Did I spell it properly?)
Hi Mark. Thanks for the educational and entertaining Xmas message. Good to see Wilson and Keppel getting due credit, altho' (sadly) without Betty. No-one should take offence at your Q&A: I too, regularly wear a hat. Jo
Thanks so much Tom, I really appreciate your constant support and kind words. A very happy Christmas to you all there and I'm looking forward to all your guitar-building adventures in 2023. God bless you all there mate.
Stan! How wonderful to hear from you! How is everything? What are the vacation plans for 2023? Be sure to drop me a line mate. In the meantime God bless you all there and a very happy Christmas!
@@MarkMcCluney Hi Mark...everything is good here in Oregon...both daughters are home for the holidays...so I couldn't be happier. Not sure what the summer vacation plans are just yet...but, Michelle just told me she would love to get back to Ireland if we can! I will keep you posted.
Thanks so much Lizzie. We're finishing off our busy Christmas Day here and falling into bed; we had a super time and, as usual, much too much to eat. Of course, there's always Boxing Day tomorrow when we'll do it all again! Thanks for looking in and enjoy the rest of today.
Thanks so much my friend! Yes sir, this video was a labour of love but I've been collecting clips for a while now - thank you for appreciating it. I hope it made you laugh! God's greatest blessings and a very happy Christmas to you too. Do you celebrate Christmas in India?
Mad as a box of frogs! Made me laugh! God's greatest blessings to you too! You will notice Jesus hasn't yet had that conversation with me.... Perhaps he thinks there's some hope? Have a merry and blessed Christmas.
Thanks Ben, that's a huge compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed this bit of silliness. It's been swilling around in my mind for ages. You know, all these years I told myself that this is not the appropriate place to share my faith in God but I knew eventually it'd have to come out - I'll probably lose a few subs but there you are. And I hadn't noticed anything about you that said you are anything other than a decent and honest bloke - if the Lord thinks I'm worth saving then He's definitely out looking for you mate. No kiddin', if this Jesus guy is for real, He's too good to miss. Enough. Thanks for looking in all year and I'm looking forward to all your workshop adventures in 2023. Happy Christmas mate.
Merry Christmas Mark! Loved the sanding documentary, lots of information I didn't know before 😂 Hope you and the family have a great Christmas and all the best for the new year!
Yes, George is definitely an unsung hero in the history of power tools. Thanks for always looking in Tim, I can't tell you how encouraging it has been for me. God bless ya' mate and a very happy Christmas to you.
Thanks so much Severin and thanks for looking in, as always I really appreciate it. And I hope you are having as jolly a Christmas time as we are having here! All our love to all your family and God bless you in the coming year.
Leo, thanks so much for all your support and kind words over the last few years. It never occurred to me, when I first started making workshop videos, that I was entering such a warm and supportive community. I hope I can encourage as much as you and many others have encouraged me. God bless you and the Boss Lady and a very happy Christmas to you.
Mark that was an awesome video! I always look forward to your videos, but this one was special. TH-cam may not promote it because of the "controversial" Christian message, but I love it! God Bless you and your family this Christ-mas season! P.S. was any of the sanding portion true?
Thanks so much Chris, I knew I'd get a nice reply from you. I don't think TH-cam ever promotes any of my vids (which I kinda' prefer) but isn't it crazy that declaring our Christian faith is a sensitive issue nowadays? God bless you too dear brother. Happy Christmas mate and keep your fingers away from spinny wood. Ps. What do mean 'any'? It's ALL true!!!
Mark, I showed your Sanding video to Mrs Scrimper, she didn't get it at all, it just shows how each of us have different tastes with humour! I have watched it three times, I think it's really funny and supremely clever. I reckon you have had past experience in film or scriptwriting?
Please apologize to Mrs. Scrimper for me John. Humour is deeply subjective; I have an old chum who can't stand Morecambe and Wise. Can you believe that? And yes you're right, I was a comedy performer in my callow youth and wrote for radio comedy back then too, but I was never very successful. I'm much happier being a silly TH-camr than a serious comedy professional. Cheers John and thanks for watching again. Oh I almost forgot - are you a Look at Lif aficionado? You're the only other person who has even known what it is!
Mark I mentioned in a previous reply below that I am a fan of 'look at life' we used to watch them at the pictures. They are being rerun on channel 82 [talking pictures] at the moment. I just knew you has some experience in writing and film etc when I watched "Sanding" . Your presentation puts my amateur efforts to shame. All the best John.
A very nice video that made me chuckle Mark. Merry Christmas to you and yours and God bless. ps Not heared anthing from your friend and mine Bram lately! do you know if he is ok.
Thanks so much Barry, I really appreciate it. I'm sorry to tell you that Bram has been rather unwell, including some eye trouble in the last few months. He is unable to make or even watch TH-cam videos. I'll probably text him today - I'll pass on your concerns. Thanks again mate and a very happy Christmas to you and yours.
