Oh my god, that sounds like the coolest thing ever. I have my garage door open a lot when I'm working on a guitar. People tend to walk by and see me carving out a neck or running a band saw or something and they always seem to keep their distance. I've had a couple come up and ask a few questions here and there but when they figure out what I'm doing they look at me like I'm from another planet and say something ridiculous like, "I could never do something like that."

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to me when I hear people say that???
Sounds awesome!
