Yeah, I can definitely see that.

Being a software engineer, I often think of things in terms of how a piece of software could track or manage something. So in my extra extra spare time, I've taken a piece of process engineering/working tracking software I wrote and created a guitar build process/work tracker. It contains all the highest level steps to creating a guitar, at least, one way of building one. When it was all broken down, there are almost 100 individual tasks inside 8 primary activities. A bit more than your average weekend project.

But, at the end of it, I imagine the satisfaction of having completed the project will be that much sweeter. If it was super easy, then there would be little reward associated with the achievement.
