Dez's new YouTube channel

[Dez]

As some of you may know, I was diagnosed with skin cancer in October 2022 and in January 2023 my oncologist declared it to be terminal. As a result, I now live in an nursing home, where I have a lovely big room set up with my desk, cameras and craft tools to keep myself entertained. Today, as part of this, I've launched a YouTube channel, called Deniscellaneous, where I'm going to post videos about the things I make, tips and tricks for using the Cricut Maker and anything else that takes my fancy.

If you're interested in any of this, I'd love it if you could subscribe to my channel, which is completely free to do. I need to have at least 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of view time to qualify to enable monetisation. I'm also setting up a Patreon so that anyone feeling generous can contribute to support me making new content.

I've already posted two videos that are available to watch:

Denis makes a Tape Shelf
Denis makes a Low Poly Elephant

[Mrs Pingu]

I didn't know that, and am very sorry to hear it. I hope you enjoy making the vids though!

[T42]

Didn't know it either, and am likewise sad to hear it.  Bon courage.

[rogerzilla]

Great stuff (the projects, I mean, not the cancer).   I thought the low polygon elephant was going to be a purely computer model, possibly with frikkin' lasers.

[citoyen]

Subscribed. I'm at work now but I'll have a look at the vids later. The elephant looks intriguing.

The cancer business sucks greatly.

[Basil]

I'm very sorry to hear about your cancer, Dez.

[Regulator]

I'm really sorry to hear this Dez. 

I will be subscribing.

[Cudzoziemiec]

I had no idea. So sorry.

I've started watching the elephant.

a) Quite
b) I was about 30 - about 15 years ago. 
c) Thanks!
d) On the whole, things are going a lot better than I could have hoped a year ago when they thought I had three months to live.


Thanks also to everyone else who’s subscribed and is watching the videos!

[barakta]

Subscribed and watched your elephant video. I vaguely knew of cricut machines as a thing but no idea how they worked so that's a "today I learned".

Also, fuck cancer.

[Jurek]

Sorry to hear this Des.
Subscribed.

[Ham]

Not only have I subscribed but I'm genuinely interested in the Cricut, and if you made something like these for sale, I'd buy one.

[Robh]

Very sorry to read this Dez. All strength to you.

[Gaston Lagaffe]

Watched, liked, and subscribed 👍

All the best.

[Beardy]

Mods and movers, shouldn’t this thread be in the pub so that it gets a wider audience. Only the geeks and nerds come over here.

[T42]

+1

[SteveC]

Only the geeks and nerds come over here.

Isn't that most of us? (Have subscribed)

[Feanor]

I've been sitting on my hands a bit over replying to this, because I find it hard to find the right words.

All I can say is I'm sorry to hear this, and hope that things go as well as they can.

[ian]

Also not sure what to say, but you're teetering towards influencer territory, so enjoy.

[Afasoas]

cancer: what a shitter

will give your YT channel a watch

[Hot Flatus]

Never met you, but I'm thinking of you, and I'm loving that in spite of everything you are cracking on doing shit you like 

[Basil]

I've just watched and enjoyed the Business Card thing.
Understood very little of it, mind. 

[Dez]

Not only have I subscribed but I'm genuinely interested in the Cricut, and if you made something like these for sale, I'd buy one.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've spent this evening creating a shop, which you can visit at https://deniscellaneous.teemill.com/

You're courageous, Dez.  I wish you all the best.
