Patrons get lots of exclusive videos and updates on myself and my projects. Thanks to the support of Patrons I am able to make videos almost full-time, but without needing any corporate sponsors.
Many many thanks to all those that have supported me and the channel but please only send money if you have it to spare!

Sounds like you are awfully hard on yourself Max. It would be lovely if you were as kind too yourself as your friends are to you, or you are to your friends. Onwards and upwards!
It's quite a thing for you to share your thoughts and I applaud you for it.
Life has taught me that relationships seldom fail solely because of the actions of one person. In essence we make friends and are lucky to fall in love at times throughout our lifes, but nothing is certain, and sometimes not forever, we just need to remain thankful for the opportunities of knowing love and savoring those memories. I am a little (may be a lot) older than you and met someone new 12 months ago after being single for nearly 10 years. He proposed last week, what I am badly trying to say is being alive and living a full life for me means never stopping being open to possibilities or closing down and always taking advantages of what's thrown our way. Never say never ...although I realise it may not feel like that right now x x
I don’t think there is an easy way for any of us to fix this, make you feel better, make you feel less pain. However, hopefully you can take some comfort in knowing that there is people who are here for you, supporting you and championing you. I hope things get easier for you
“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.” That is advice from Shakespeare... and I think he was on to something. Onwards and upwards and I hope, you will, on occasion, take us along for the ride. :) Be well, Max.
At a time like this your friends -online and off- want to “Hoover” your pain away but there is no way to do that. Certainly not in a UA-cam comment.
That took guts man, seriously. Thank you.
“I’m going to be okay. I’m going to make things - some interesting things. And have some interesting adventures. And i’m going to film them. And you guys can watch them. So there’re good things to look forward to.” That’s the right spirit Max! Some of us who are (happily) tied down in relationships don’t always get the time to make things and have the adventures that we did when we were single. I get immense pleasure and inspiration from watching you make things and having the adventures that I can’t. Please keep it up! And I hope that you find all the happiness/relationships and companionship that you deserve.
My friend helped me yrs ago with “It’s a life lesson, not a life sentence! “
It's all been said, but I'd just like to let you know how important are your videos and also those from some other posters to people like me. After several failed attachments when I was a young man, I finally found someone who would tolerate me and we have now been together for nearly fifty years. Sadly, my wife is now in poor health and virtually housebound. Caring for her means that I am also tied pretty much to the house and cannot pursue the many hobbies I enjoyed. I would have loved to have restored a Series IIA Land Rover, but that is never going to happen, so your videos give me a great deal of vicarious pleasure. I cannot go out to see friends as I used to, so watching you and listening to your experiences is a connection I much appreciate. Thank you: just thank you.
It happened to me 10 years ago. She broke of the relationship. I was heart broken, trying to understand why, trying to reason. I was in a bad way for a long time, depressed and lonely. But then then I realized, that one should always practice self love and forgeiveness first and then if you have love left then sure give it to someone you care for.
Thanks for this Max, you really bare your soul to us. I lost my wife to cancer this year, sometimes relationships end through no fault of either party. I found strength in your honesty, as I find strength through the family and friends who are helping me to navigate this grief. Stay strong brother.
Hey Max....I'm a collector of your things. My collection started with an excellent knife that was gifted to me and has lately extended to your shared words, honesty and wisdom; the latter are by far the most precious and valuable and I thank you sincerely for them.
Never been prouder to be a patron, tears in my eyes as I write this xxx
Never commented before anywhere, but wanted to say how much i enjoy the videos and how its a privilage having watched you share your heart. Once step at a time Max.
There’s not many people I listen to and take notice of on the UA-cam, but you’re one of the few. Be well Max
I hope you know how much your videos help and inspire your viewers Max
Much as I love your daft projects and practical guides, these 'sitting down and talking' videos are honestly the most powerful. More power to you Max! I'm looking forward to these making and adventuring vids too.
The appropriate level of sad. Amen to that, it is right to feel sad and to reflect. Thank you for sharing this and the previous sit-down video. Different But still a compelling watch. Take care fella.
This really resonated with me. I went through something similar in October. A two year relationship ended. Its easy to blame yourself but it's a two way street.
