Something he's needed for literal decades.

The new workbench. It's absolutely amazing, and it will enable him to work a lot more efficiently than the old cobbled-together tables and pieces of wood.  Nano still has to cut out two crescents in the lower shelf: a smaller one where the cane is hanging, to accommodate his acetylene tank; and a somewhat wider one on the far right, for knees, because that's where he sits to assemble findings on the bead pieces, and it's where I sit to sort beads and cabs for him.

This is something he's needed for literal decades. 

Of course, it wasn't cheap. Nor should it have been; it's master workmanship. And it's SOLID; this thing will last generations. But it was a big expense, and one that we were anticipating, because it's needed to happen for so many years, but now I need to make that up with sales.

I also need to make up all our other expenses from the last week, which was costlier that I expected on the medical front, particularly. Of course, it's been a hellishly costly year, on top of several recent years that have been the same, and there's a lot more expense to come. We very much need it to rain in the metaphorical sense, at the monsoonal level. I need to bring in several more sales this week, because I've had to order some supplies for him already, but I also need to order a silver for him, which is absurdly expensive now [gouging; it's gouging, and no, I have not been able to order it yet], and will only get more so as we head into fall. We've also got a couple of other big-ticket things to take care of early this month, and that only happens if we make some sales now. And we can still use help with shares, testimonials, wishlist stuff I can't get to yet, etc. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [I'll be adding some new items soon, things we could really use but that I can't justify spending money on right now, like some sheets and towels];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need to get this year onto a better footing than the last two, a year that, so far, has been very grim.
