The Travelling Luthier
Had a thought that I might want to do some traveling sometime before I get established anywhere, but was wondering how I'd be able to do that and still keep working, and it hit me. Why not spend that time staying at/near luthiers and use their shop when I need to? That could in fact judge where I go next, go to North Carolina a few months, then Minnesota, then Texas, Canada etc. I think that would be brilliant, but how many of you would consider having someone taking up your shop space? I doubt it would amount to an apprenticeship per say, as I don't really need to be taught anything, just need power tools every so often. And maybe I'm a bit naive about the whole concept of "living abroad" for a while, but I think it'd be a fun thing to think about and maybe do. I am NOT asking for invitations, just wondering what the general consensus is as far as having some guy hanging around your shop using your band saw or something.
