Help CoffinCollector rebuild his business.

Hi, my name is Eva and I'm fundraising for my brother Tom LaBonty @coffincollector.

Two nights ago his workshop/garage burnt down destroying all of his tools and projects for a business he has been building for years.

My brother is an artist. He always has been. His passion in life is to create, build, and to share his art. But like all artists, it's not easy to make a living.

It has taken years for him to raise the money to buy good, safe tools for him to create the kind of skilled, high- quality, one-of- a -kind pieces that he is known for.

His art is marketed as coffincolletor on instagram and he is a real presence at oddity markets around the Pacific Northwest, he designs and builds coffin shaped book cases, mirrors, cutting boards, cat beds, coffee tables, hopeless chests, chest of drawers, and his most popular item recently has been guillotine mirrors.

To have all of his dreams, and tools go up in flames in one night was devastating.

 

 

As Coffincollector he has become part of a larger like-minded community who has encouraged me to start this gofundme campaign. The outpouring of love and support for Tom and his business has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated.

To start his business up again he needs the following tools: Table saw, miter saw, circular saw, air compressor, nail gun, planer, jointer, electric drill, sanders, clamps, hand tools, wood, paint, and fabric.

 

When you donate, this is what your money will go towards.

If you would like to donate to Tom directly you can find him on Venmo @ tom-labonty

 

Thank you for your support and for anything you can do to help get @coffincolletor up and running again.
