You may not realize that you are indeed a woodworking hero to so many of us. The inspiration you have given me personally is unparalleled . Wishing the very best for you. You are indeed in my prayers.

What an awful cowardly man he was. Thank you for standing up for what's right. Wishing you a swift and complete recovery.

So sorry about what happened to you. Your resilience, humility and passion for your work, even in such a difficult time, is the reason we all love and respect you. Get well soon Paul.

Please rest up Paul. You are the most important teacher of woodworking I’ve ever come across

I am slow listening to Paul; those of us in the woodworking community are disheartened by the act of cowardice perpetuated upon him. God bless you and yours - as well as those who assisted you Brother get well our prayers are with you.

Shame on that runner - hope he gets his come-uppance (not from revenge but to hopefully stop him doing this to anyone else). Be kind to yourself Paul; I've learned so much from you that I feel I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. As Tom120ali said, you are loved and respected 639,000 of us wishing you well and empowering your recovery. Bless you, get well soon.

shame? how about criminal charges!?

Dear Paul: you are an example of strength even under such a tough crossroad. When others may have been overpowered by rage and feeling powerless, you are hanging in there with class. All the best to you

Paul Sellers, a gentleman, master craftsman and no coward. All the best!

Having been an EMT and ski patroller for the past 30 years I find your blog an excellent description of the recovery process. Broken ribs can be, and are treated, as a very serious, and possibly, life threatening injury. Thankfully you were in good physical condition leading up to the injury. As a further note, here in the US, an assault on an individual 65 or older garners serious felony charges.

This man never bad mouthed the guy that caused all this (aside from saying what he did was stupid), found a silver lining, and grew from it. You’re a very graceful human Paul, and I commend you on your class!

The woodworking community is with you, Paul. We all heard about it in March and were physically shaken over it. You are one of those that we all look up to. You are a teacher, a mentor, a gentleman and much more. Please be well and recover!

To have such a productive, kind being disabled by a cowardly fool is unthinkable. We are living in times of fear and anger. From one hand tool worker to another, wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.

You’ve the resilient strength of American hickory and the character of English Elm. Happy woodworking Paul.

You continue to be a fine example of what a human being can be. Sorry for your pain, but thank you for your resilience and courage.

I broke 3 ribs on my left side falling off a horse. I completely empathise with your recovery process, and the very intense pain and long convalescence. What I admire about your disposition is the focus on results rather than blame. Love your work.

Get well Paul. I started wooding late in life (60 years old) and you quickly became an inspiration...thinking of you and hoping for the best. Take care.

Oh Paul, I feel for you. Broken ribs are debilitating and painful. What an arsehole. This is an assault and should be reported to the police. I’m so glad you were looked after post assault. Sending love and strength from Australia.

Paul, my prayers are with you. As you recover take your time. Thanks

You Mr Sellers are indeed a national treasure and shame on that person who injured you i wish you a speedy recovery and many more projects to come Cheers from the USA

Bonjour Paul, très touché par votre mésaventure. J'en tire une simple leçon, savoir dépasser la lâcheté et en sortir grandit, c'est exactement ce que vous avez fait, magnifiquement. Merci.

I'm glad to see you're on the mend! Make sure to press charges against that man, that sort of behaviour is not on.

As you were describing this man’s behavior with the approaching family of cyclists, I knew right away that he exhibited traits VERY high on the narcissistic spectrum. So sorry this psychopath took out his anger & dissatisfaction with his own life out on you., Paul. 😡 I’m glad you had so many people there at your site of the assault to care for you. Prayers for your healing, and may justice prevail. 🙏

We all wish you well Mr Sellers. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Cheers from Perth Western Australia 👍🇦🇺🦘

Dear Paul, I wish you all the best and you will return soon to the workshop and inspiring all the woodworkers around the world. Best regards from Brazil!!

We've been praying for you everyday Paul, and hope you recover your former vitality soon. USA near Detroit, MI

I just watched a Red Krueger video that gave you credit and a report of being injured. I have been a vocational school trained Woodworker for 58 years and your videos have always given me more skill sets. No matter your education or experience, your videos will always share improvements or altogether better ways to accomplish the task in hand. By the end of this video you are back and I sincerely hope you stay that way. I'll be watching more videos the next month as I just broke both wrists playing pickleball. Keep them coming. I need the company:)

I hope you have a speedy and full recovery, Paul. I also hope that jerk of a runner is identified and prosecuted for that malicious and completely unnecessary act.

From the very second you started this vlog Mr Sellers I could tell that there was something wrong. The sparkle in your eyes wasn't as bright as it always is in your videos and I'm sure it won't be long before it's back bigger and brighter than ever. The pain will go but the memories of what happened to you will take much longer to heal. You're an inspiration to us all and I hope that in some small way our best wishes aids your recovery both inside and out. Look after yourself Mr Sellers. Best wishes.

Joiner all my life 63 yr old, crashed a motorcycle 20 yrs ago, did a few ribs, honestly it takes ages to recover a couple of months at least, well said you.

So sorry that you were attacked from behind no less. Your grace under fire is something we can all imitate . Do try to take deeper breaths to keep pneumonia sneezing up on you. I hope you have a full recovery.

Happy to hear you are on the road to recovery, remember to keep your mind active with drawing and journaling as you are. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Here's to a speedy recovery, Paul! You've been an amazing instructor and inspiration to my woodworking journey and I wish you all the best health and the fastest possible recovery.

Dear Paul, you have my sympathy. Rib injury is so painful. Please seek and accept the help you need.

Paul ,glad to hear your feeling better! I love how you took a negative situation and turned it into a positive! God bless you and your family!

Very sorry to hear this Paul. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hopefully the criminal who cowardly hit you from the rear will be locked up.

A RESPECTED PRODUCTIVE GENTLEMAN, I LEARN FROM YOU FROM FAR AWAY DISTANCE, AS A SELF TEACHING WOOD WORKER. I AM INSPIRED BY YOUR CLARITY, PRECISION, AND QUALITY WORKS AND TECHNIQUES. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WELL BIENG!

Having had a broken rib, I can appreciate what you're going through. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and thanking you for sharing your skills as a woodworker.

Take the time you need to recover, we will still be here when your better! Hope you get better soon Paul.

Dear teacher, Good to see you healthy. I'm one of those you inspire.

Paul, I hope gods grace shines on you and provides his healing power! 🙏

We are not ready to do without you, Paul! Get well soon, and keep up the blogging!

I admire how you’ve managed to balance a positive outlook while being a realist about the situation. I like how you see the beauty in what some might consider ordinary things, such as a budding leaf and flower. You show us that we’re all capable of making anything from furniture to cellos if we put our mind to it, and remind us that making is part of what defines us as human beings. You’ve also reminded us that kindness and compassion is more powerful and prevalent than we might realize. Glad to see you’re doing better and I can’t wait to see what you work on next.

Get well taking all the time needed. I'm rooting for you Paul 🤗

Paul, All the others before me in the last 5 days have said it all. Do take care of yourself and come back from all this stronger and fully back in the saddle whilst tackling many new projects. All the best - Joe S

My great uncle was a masterful woodworker. It was because of him that I suspected I might be able to get into woodworking even though I'd mostly just done computer stuff all my life and never had a chance to train with him before he reposed. Your videos were the first that I found as I tried to begin to teach myself and I think it's fair to say that it's been life changing to be able to build these skills and work with my hands and hand tools. Thank you for what you do, and for making this sort of video as well.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and that your pain ends. You’ve taught me so much even as a 25-year woodworker myself. My ancestors were from the Village of Livesay, the ancient Hauls of Livesay, at the southwest portion of Blackburn (Feniscowles now, I think). You are one of the UK’s treasures. Put your God above all things. Ed Livesay of Lemon Springs, North Carolina, USA.

Our hope for a speedy recovery.

May you continue in health Paul. Your teaching is a wonderful inspiration and a great help to small-time amateur woodworkers like me! A big THANK YOU from Lisbon!

Get well soon Paul. I've taken so much inspiration and learning from your videos. You're a true gent and a wonderful teacher.

Paul, you'll be up and about in no time. Don't let this get you down. All the best from this Stopfordian.

Sir, your messages here are both gutting and uplifting. Your message about healthcare workers and Good Samaritans are proof that goodness exists among us and your description of drawing buds is an enlightening reminder to seek beauty in our everyday travels. The fact that someone assaulted you is deeply disturbing and infuriating. I feel for you. It’s a stark reminder that our actions have consequences beyond the moment. I hope there is justice for the incident and something in the universe makes that person realize his actions are not okay. I am tempted to wish for that to experience equal or greater pain than he inflicted upon you, but I don’t believe that is healthy for us to hold grudges or perpetuate a cycle of violence. I do hope that person is held accountable for their actions and learns from their pitiful malfeasance. I’m sorry you had to endure such an evil event and painful recovery. I admire your courage to share with us your thoughts and emotions. I respect deeply your positivity, your commitment to your health, and the kindness from within that exudes through every second of your decades of videos, every page of your texts, every pencil line of yours sketches, and every shaving of your joinery. To Your Health! -Castor

Very best wishes Paul... I had a heart attack three weeks ago and can only echo your experience of our amazing NHS. Bless all those incredible staff members that help patients. I hope your recovery progresses well. Thank you.

Well said. Paul reminds me of my father and this video only validates that belief.

I'm fairly new to your channel, and I have already learned so much from the patient and detailed nature of your woodworking presentations. I am praying for your continued healing and that the hateful criminal responsible for your injuries will be brought to justice. With three broken ribs there is likely a lot of bruising of muscles and such, so, it makes sense that you are experiencing a lot of pain during your recovery. I am happy to hear that you are being careful with the pain medication as it won't alleviate all of the pain and it is extremely toxic to your body and brain generally and to your kidneys specifically. Your nature drawings and observations are wonderful. I find myself encouraged to practice my own drawing skills and getting out into the natural world more often. God bless you, Brother.

God bless.....you Mister Paul 💪😌✌️🍷

Get well soon Paul, wishing you all the best.

I’m glad you’re feeling better. I just wanted to say Thank you for making these videos them and your books have helped my woodworking skills go to a higher level. Thanks Paul

Выздоравливай, мой дорогой друг!!!

So sorry to hear this, Paul. I won't voice my thoughts on the person who committed this attack on you. Its amazing how you see the positives in this when so many others would only be able to focus on the negative. You're an inspiring man who inspires people to be better versions of themselves.

Good luck Paul in your recovery, lets have you back on the bench as soon as possible. John.

Paul, we all want you to get well soon. We love your teaching. While we all want you to get well soon, most of us have been injured, and we want everything back to normal as soon as possible. Your body is busy healing itself. God created us in this way! You think you’re not improving as quickly as you want. There’s a lot going on. Until this is finished, your ability to push yourself will be hampered, and may even be detrimental to your recovery. Until you reach a certain point, you and your doctor will determine, don’t push it too much. You’ll get there! I’m confident of that

So glad to hear you are on the road to recovery Paul. Such a sad state of our society that this happens, take care and hope to see you fully recovered soon.

I am so sorry Paul. You are a hero for keeping that family out of harm's way. Ribs are funny they heal quickly so you will be back to work but you will experience intermittent pain for quite a while. Any man who can scrub an uneven oak board square will be able to work through the pain. Get well soon. You are loved in Finland.

You poor thing. I’m so sorry to hear of this terrible persons assault on you. Injury’s are awful but particularly bad if they are intentionally done by someone. I hope you get well soon.

Le vélo est un loisir tellement passionnant mais tellement dangereux à la fois. Bon rétablissement Paul ❤

Be well, Paul. Take care of yourself. Ribs are a big pain to deal with. I had 3 myself. We’ll see you back in the shop in no time. Peace

I sincerely hope you will recover soon from your injuries Paul. If you can muster the patience you've shown all of us in your woodworking videos I am sure you will feel better very soon. Just take all the time you need, we're all here when you are fit enough to teach us some of your skills. You are an inspiration to many. Health is our most precious possession. All the best from the Netherlands.

Anger is real. Some cant handle it. Hope you heal happily sir. Your channel is the best on YT

I sense your wounded spirit. A few months ago I developed sciatica, which really put me down both physically and spiritwise, because I am rarely sick or down. I was not attacked like you but the effects on my mood , my body and spirit were similar. I am much better and I feel sure that you too will be back to your normal self soon. The hard part is being patient. Every one of your viewers are cheering you on. USA North Carolina

I feel a bit selfish and glib for pointing this out, but... I think that _recovery from an injury_ is a pleasure that doesn't get enough attention in our culture, and the sight of you at 11:21 reaching up to smooth your hair, effortlessly, gave me a small rush of joy. I know that getting there cost you days of misery, and I got it for nothing, but I've had the experience too. Being laid up for days with a fever, then finding myself awake in bed _able to think._ Nursing an injury for weeks, then regaining the ability to walk -- walk! -- and making my way to the kitchen to make and devour a ham sandwich. Oh, the power! Yes, my friends think me peculiar.

Paul I can’t believe this happened to you. There are some horrible people in the world and you unfortunately crossed paths with one. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Looking forward to seeing you back in the shop.

Get well soon sir. Take all the time you need.

Best wishes for a complete recovery and just compensation, if appropriate.

Oh, Paul. Even from Oklahoma in the US, I can feel your lovely spirit. I'm so sorry about your injury. Broken ribs are no laughing (sorry) matter. My partner broke 2 ribs, and said everything you have about symptoms and the ups and downs of recovery. Continue to be patient, and don't over do. Unfortunately, it will likely take longer than you would expect. Sending much light and healing energy your way. I so appreciate all the valuable knowledge you have shared. As an older woman, I'm just learning the craft. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and spirit.

Speedy recovery, Paul. I'm so sorry that happened to you but it inspires me, and others, to stand up for what is right - something the world sorely needs.

Hoping for your quick recovery Paul

I hope you get well soon mate. You're a star.
