[@TheMrstevewillson]

Sorry for your issues brother. Get better soon, don’t rush it. I’d rather have less of you for longer.

[@bobhaare4576]

You're proof that you can't keep a good man down. Take good care of yourself and follow the doctor's orders. Wishing you the best in the new year.

[@MaddMaxxWoodWorks]

Good to see you back. Remember that your health is number one and your family is as well. I wish you the best in your recovery

[@done591030]

Balance your life Physically, Mentally, Socially, and Spiritually. Praying for health, comfort, and balance for you. Thanks for not giving up.

[@F.Harlock]

Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. Don't worry about pumping out content on a schedule. It's a streaming service, not a TV cable channel, you have the freedom to upload new content only when you're able.

[@charliegoodson8247]

I love watching someone with a passion for what they do.

[@williammaxwell1919]

I've seen others of your videos... but I didn't subscribe until this video dropped. Men talking honestly about men's health is so important for everyone... Kudos to you and don't stop! P.S. Not enough makers from the Southern Hemisphere (I'm Antipodean)!

[@andyrobinson6052]

Priority is to rake care of yourself and your family and also good to keep doing something you enjoy. I certainly very much enjoy watching your content. Best Wishes.

[@everestyeti]

Sorry 2023 health-wise wasn't that good, can totally sympathise with that; my wife nearly died last year and I now have a life long medical problem. I think all you can do is soldier on and do the best you can do. Looking forward to seeing, what you're going to achieve. Take care of yourself and remember that you and your families well being are the most important thing. 👍

[@henryrossouw930]

Good to see you back.Staying positive and keeping busy is a battle half one.Looking forward to new idea.Speedy recovery.

[@Qternocq]

Hearing you thank us made me smile. I've learned a lot from your channel, so let me just thank you right back! You're awesome!

[@ShopNation]

Feel better man, wishing you and your family a fast recovery. You're an important part of this community!

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Thanks bud.

[@bmwcubs42]

Always put your health first. Your family needs you. We will still be here and patiently waiting for new content. I've never been disappointed by your work or your approach to problem solving. Be healthy. Be safe. Stay strong!!!

[@andrewmurrell4962]

Great to see you back, I too had a mini stroke aged 48, that was 10yrs ago. Just follow the drs orders, take your meds religiously and take it easy. It’s a slow road but definitely worth it. Can’t wait to see the new ideas and projects and get in my workshop to try some.

[@HankMiner]

I, too, had a stroke going on two years ago. All I can say is that it's a slow process, but take it a day at a time. Slow is fast with a goal in sight. I wish you the best of success in your recovery. A final thought: the brain is fantastic in the recovery phase. Jean

[@DennisScheuvront]

Jean, I just want to echo the sentiments from others whom have said that you are proof that you can't keep a good man down, especially when he's so passionate about something. I have watched 1000's of KZbin videos for a number of years and have only made 1 other post besides this one. I first came across your channel back in late 2019/2020 when the pandemic hit and was looking at ideas of how to transform 1/2 of my 2 car garage into a functioning woodworking shop. You have been my go to guy with inspiring me to come up with creative ways to maximize my storage and functionality. I am currently a few years from retirement, have made progress on my shop design and I am in the process putting those plans into action. I hope that by the time I retire, my shop will be complete and I would like to jump into the next phase of my life by joining the KZbin community with valuable content of my own. The inspiration you have been to me and others is unfathomable when it comes to being the average working Joe, working hard at balancing family & job with utilizing the talents that God has given you, while so many other's on KZbin do not show that side of them. You bring the human aspect to this community. I too have the same struggles and most of the time it leaves very little time for woodworking. I will continue to watch for your videos and look forward to incorporating your ideas and creativity into my own shop. Stay healthy and know that your subscribers will be here waiting for you when you are healthy. From West Virginia, happy woodworking.

[@peterfoale203]

John, as a subscriber always look forward to your videos. However, I am sure all who watch agree that your health and family are your priority. Be good to yourself and when you do post we will all lap up the content. Happy New Year

[@leonfouche8470]

Best of luck Jean, stay positive and take every day as it comes. In the end your health and family comes first.

[@chrisnorton2837]

Great to hear that you are OK and feeling better Jean! We all enjoy your videos, and I'm glad that you are still excited about making them for us!

[@ssbb_builds2090]

Strongs brother. Keep pushing, you are giving us South African creators inspiration....

[@Flippingdrawers]

[@LarsDoesThings]

[@anthonylorbach9365]

Here's hoping you make a full recovery. I also hope some safety wear company would provide you with some protective clothing. I enjoy your channel and I hope it continues for a long time.

[@SkinnyboyDre]

All the best for 2024 and the future. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery and may you and your family find peace and strength every day!

Whatever it takes know that there is a great number of fans who care much more for your health and well-being than for any content. We will be here whenever you are ready. Unique makers are very hard to find and you are one of the best. You are in our thoughts and prayers always.

[@RobertHolby]

[@waynespringer3320]

[@garymassey2285]

Glad you are on the mend and that you are back!

[@mdn642]

Hi John from Chico, California…glad to see that you are on the mend and all of us are cheering you on! Did you say 56? years old? You are aging well if that’s the fact!! I am a left handed 55 year old woodworker and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us. Heal up well and just so you know…we don’t care about shaky hands and slowing down!! Just get healed up and cherish your family!!

[@WoodshopJunkies]

No, 36. My dad is 58.

[@sharieflarnie1206]

😂lol

[@richberg404]

Thank you from Minnesota. Your content is so enjoyable. If you read this I will say……About 4 years ago my wife and I moved in to a much smaller house. We did this to take care of family. I lost my big garage shop and all my space. The house we moved into was a small 1 car. Your videos have inspired me to start up my shop and reimagine what that could be. Thank You your videos saved me. THANK YOU. I hope you get back to feeling yourself again

[@heamodehar5907]

Kia ora brother. I love the way you keep striving to make content bro regardless of your health condition. Like many others bro. Take it easy. Take your meds and listen to the doctors bro but cant wait to see what you come up with in 2024. Stay safe brother.

[@jonham8469]

Jean, you're the most creative guy out there. Your projects always amaze me. Take care of yourself and don't push too hard getting back. We're willing to wait for content until you feel up to increasing your output. And we're all praying for a full recovery.

[@georgedennis2719]

Hi John, glad you're back in the game. Always enjoy your cleverness in Colorado.

[@talkingbeers]

Thanks for your candour. Wow, what a 4Q! Thank goodness you are recovering and understand the root cause and that it’s treatable. John please prioritise your health, your wife and your young baby. Keep them front and centre - we love your workmanship but less is more! Have a healthy joyous and successful 2024 from Hampshire UK

[@davinkaiser8888]

[@dennisd5776]

Hope 2024 brings a complete recovery. Like everyone says follow the doctor's orders and keep your health for your family; we will see you when you make more videos as you can

[@steveferguson1232]

So happy to see you. 10 years ago Jean I had a stroke that ended my work career at 54 and I now have a pacemaker and other health issues. Listen to the doctors and FOLLOW their instructions and advice. I am left handed also and yes it does suck. I’ve been able to get back into my shop on days. But when I start dropping tools, I know it’s time to go back inside. Please take care of yourself we want to watch you get to 1 million subscribers

[@scottlangston8417]

Glad you're sticking with it. Even more glad that things are treatable and you are doing well. God continue to bless you and your family!

I think the WORST thing you could do for your recovery is to stop your woodworking projects! Slow down a bit and get plenty of rest, sure. But this is what you LIVE for, plus your family. Stay healthy, Jean!

My friend, my workshop is a double garage. It houses: * A bakkie and a car (5%of the space) * My workshop stuff (5% of the space) * My wife’s stuff 99% of the space) No, I did not make a calculation error above. My project for 2024 is to get my workbench back. Good luck for your endeavours for 2024! #TheStruggleIsReal

Very pleased to see you on the road to recovery. Do take care of yourself - your health comes first before any KZbin content. That said, your channel is my favourite to watch as it is full of brilliant and clever ideas that make the most of a single car garage. I'm more or less following and trying to implement your idea's going forward. Thank you.

[@acraig5075]

Glad you're ok. Feel no pressure at getting videos out until you're up to it.
