This is where those stories will live. Before and after. The process, the problems, the small wins.

Check back soon.

Fresh off the bench

A few projects are already underway. First findings, teardowns and progress notes are being documented as the work develops.

Finished restorations will appear here as they're completed, photographed, described honestly, and ready to find a new wrist.

Check back soon.
