Somewhere on LTG there is a debate about language and my recollection is that the people who expressed opinions preferred the term "luthier" for someone who builds and repairs guitars. "tech" was the preferred term for someone who only made adjustments and did minor repairs. There is some overlap for major repairs. It seems demeaning to call someone who just did a neck reset a "tech" but they may have yet to build a guitar from scratch
Elsewhere on LTG there were discussions of improvised guitar workspaces. One suggestion that is a step up from "your lap" was a table with accessories. Add a towel or some kind of soft cloth to protect the table and the finish. Add a pillow or some kind of beanbag to cradle the neck. In New Hartford the cradle was actually a bench rest typically sold to target shooters.
This post was written under the influence of Folgers coffee although I applaud the beverage choices recently made by others. I note that there are many cases where if someone likes premium bourbon they might also like some of the single malt scotches.
