Just a thought: You seem like you might be qualified for work at a
highly-regarded music business like Elderly Music in Lansing, MI. If you
enter this line of work, then I would assume that the cost of a workshop
like the one you describe may then be tax-deductable. The cost of living
in Lansing is low and the city has an active musical culture (which you
may enjoy). The snow is sort of deep and cold.

It won't get deleted because this isn't a Google group, it is Usenet.

Aaron:

I suspect you are posting through some sort of web based forum, but you
should be aware that your posts are also appearing on usenet forums such as
rec.woodworking. These two forums are not always compatible. As you may be
able to see from the included text above my reply, only your comments appear
on the usenet branch. You will have to take some measures on your behalf to
make sure that your comments as well as the comments of others who reply to
you are included in your responses - or else take the measures to ensure
that your replies are not propogated to usenet. As you can see from the
above - your comments appearing as a one sided commentary, are totally
meaningless as a dialog.

Spend only a fraction of the time that you have spend becoming a luthier,
and learn how to use web forums and usenet, and how to peacefully abide
within the two, and you will be well rewarded.

Otherwise, your comments quickly become nothing more than a nusance.

I took it for granted that you were looking at this as a vocation.
Otherwise I didn't figure you would ask anyone for financial assistance.
It appears you already know how to build fine guitars. Wouldn't selling
2 or 3 provide the funds you are seeking?
