To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from.

My guess would be around 15,000?

Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence?
