Getting Through Wrist Surgery to Get Back to Making Guitars
Hi. Most of you know that I earn my living – with my hands – building acoustic guitars. I’m thrilled to have clients across Canada and around the world and an order book that stretches two years into the future. My work is receiving praise internationally (wonderfully gratifying!).
Unfortunately, all of that came to a halt in April. Woodworking – even on something as delicate as guitars – puts a lot of pressure on the body. Almost out of the blue, I had to stop work due to the pain from a bone impaction and torn ligaments in my wrist. (I can’t even play my own guitars!)
After consulting several orthopedic specialists, I am slated for surgery in August. The prognosis for a full recovery is very encouraging – provided I give my wrist the time it needs to heal which is roughly 2 months. At that point, I can start back to work, slowly.
This is where you – with my deepest appreciation - come in.
While my wrist will be on vacation, my bills won’t be. This includes paying ongoing expenses for my workspace and home during my recovery.
Guitarmaking is my passion, my choice in life. I am so grateful for the respect I receive from musicians and friends in Canada and internationally. But … making ends meet financially, as a custom builder, is really tough.
And so, I’m asking for your support to raise $20,000 to get me through to December 2019, when I can start building full-time – and billing - once more.
If you’d share this campaign with your friends by email, Facebook, Instagram – whatever your preference – I’d really appreciate it.
Finally, if you have any questions, please get in touch anytime.
Many thanks in advance!
