Friends and acquaintances turn up at Carlton Greathouse's home in Devers, random objects in hand. "Can you make a guitar out of this?" they ask. Greathouse, 52, breaks out in a broad grin as he replies in a deep Texas drawl, "Oh yes, I can. Yes, I can." He jokes that he could likely make a musical instrument out of a person if he could get them to stand still long enough. Shovels, tin cans, cigar boxes, brooms, toilet seats, a bed pan, and an old painted cow skull - these are just a few of the items stacked in piles throughout his home workshop. Each awaits its transformation.
