My name is martin Clarkson once a professional woodturner from my home and workshop in Lincolnshire

Life goes in many different directions and changes can sometimes be forced upon us .

Over the last 2 months i had to close my business empty my workshop and pack my home in to boxes. (Due to the section 21 my landlord issued ) no fault eviction many people in the uk are finding this. mostly due to the government reform for renting. and the economic situation in this country. along side this comes finding a new roof to live in for me and my family. a new job to be able to pay for it and most of all storage for my equipment , my intention is to get back on the lathe again as soon as finances allow.

Life is still very upside down but i am trying to get some order to it i have found a new home to live in All my equipment is in storage i have now come cap in hand

I want to rase some money to help me get back a workshop and be back behind the lathe . Not haveing my woodturning is driving me mad for 10 years i have made my own designs and have many fabulous customers and friends.

So now is when i really nead the help of them .

So if you support one of the charities that most of the money is spent on advertising or administrative fees ..spare me the real me a few quid to help buld my workshop. and i can give back to others like i allways have in the past . And will be far more great full . Thanks for reading my story

Regards martin
