Check out the making & modding section here. I included that in the structure when we started this forum to be a dedicated space for the smaller and hobbyist builders and everyone interested in all the aspects of tinkering!
It's a very supportive and helpful section. You'll have a lot to contribute there, and probably find a lot of like-minded people who understand all to well the challenges the step (giant leap) between guitar-building-for-fun/interest/satisfaction and guitar building as a business.
Recently joined, and great to see such an active community!

Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Strictly as a track, "Lenny" live by SRV is hard to look past. Nothing gets me going quite like the 1-2 punch of Smells Like Teen Spirit + In Bloom, knowing the dystopian euphoria that the entire album will have induced over the next 30 minutes. "Son of Sam" acoustic by Elliott Smith. My Hero by Foo Fighters. Coney Island Baby by Lou Reed, with that dripping sweet lead guitar. This list could go on and on. Music is bliss.
