Posting here as I think guitar builders hit across many of these. I know I am several of them!! :D

I hope the link works, I couldn’t find this video on his YouTube channel. John is a former NFL player turned woodworker and he’s sometimes entertaining.

Entertaining - probably because we all fall into some of those categories some of the time.

Yeah, I think he nailed most of us, but hopefully we only do those things in moderation, and for the best reasons. Anything taken to extremes is obsession.
We have guitar making for that. bliss

This is pretty funny. I think we all fall along a spectrum for each of these stereotypes. The funny thing for me was, as I watched each one, I thought of how funny it is that people are like that and how funny it was that some people are not enough like that.

I saw myself in many of those vignettes as I traversed my career in woodworking. I do believe I have outgrown most of them, but that probably means there is yet another stereotype that describes me. :shock:
