So Mr. Craftsman, you are slammed with work, do you offer discounts? Do you allow people to jump the line? All of your jobs go smooth? Do regale us with tales of a perfect 60 hour week. (Hint, no such thing)
I would never be a craftsman full-time because even the best of them that I know (and I know many) often seem to live through states of flux and times of insecurity. I work 60 hours a week during peak season as a quality control manager for industrial agriculture. And no, of course all of my projects don't go smoothly, but I have very little overhead and would never compare my work to a brick-and-mortar shop.
I was only pointing out that I'm not some incompetent who can't learn how to use tools. I have some confidence in my capabilities. I don't think that's a bad thing.
