Or better. 😎

Honestly building has given me a new calmness in my life. I had a number of rather violence and high stress related jobs early in life and as I got older the mental issues from those choices came home to roost.

In 7 years I have gone from no musical instruments....to building over 50 and having 32 in my presence. One ukulele and one acoustic and one keyboard.

The support I get and feel here...even just from reading other threads and posts...without having to feel to comment most of the time is amazing.

I play bass a lot....like nearly every day...and I intend to now drop my fat short fingers onto my recently completed Stratocaster.

But, the building is my saving grace. I enjoy the process of sanding...filling...staining....and I love the electronics wiring options that guys here (like weirdly...thank you) suggest and I make. I enjoy the solution finding to setup the guitars and basses to meet good playing standards.

I don’t sell them...have made a number as gifts...and have made a couple FOR people who paid for the parts...and not my time.

To me...this is PTSD therapy done the right way.

Thank you all. 😎🎸🎵🎶🎼
