I had a bit of a shock this week when I started to bind and instrument and found it very challenging. This has led me to a reset of the business and I am selling one of my designs plus all of the wood that has been prepared for it. There is an add on the marketplace.

Here I just want to say that I'm not giving up. However I don't want to end my career like Antonio de Torres whose '2nd Epoc' instruments are brilliant but mechanically flawed... Have done a FaceBook video explaining how I got to this point. Watch it here:https://www.facebook.com/artisanukulelemaker/videos/531456350630714/

It's an honest appraisal of where I am and what I enjoy doing. I'm not looking for sympathy and I don't need advice - meeting two people with PD with completely different presentations to each other and me has made me realise that you don't only get bespoke ukulele in this world!
 
Kudos Pete, for working out what you can no longer do to your exacting standards, and concentrating on what you can do instead.
