dovetails for diggers
Donation protected
I'm Ash,
I am a returned Servicemen whom now has PTSD. I struggle every day to get on top of my mental injury but the biggest thing that helps me is the cathartic effects of handtool wood working. I have recently made myself a handcut, dovetailed box to hold my medals and have received a huge amount of interest from other veterans that want me to make them one. But I want to go one step further and create an environment where I can teach them how to make it themselves!
I am calling this project Dovetails for Diggers.
I will use the money raised to make a workshop and fill it with the necessary tools and equipment to fulfill this outcome. As you may be able to imagine It takes alot to fill a workshopfull of all the things necessary to provide for these veterans. Starting with the workspace, Making workbenches, and even air filtration.
Your funds will not only help me to give back to my veteran community but you will help war veterans deal with stressors related to their service, gain a tangible outcome that they can take home and hold their medals in. The pride and self satisfaction that they made the box with their own hands will be immense.
