I've had that very comment many times in relation to furniture and other
things I have made.
Used to get it a lot when I had just finished my apprenticeship,
especially by relatives.When I'd say "Of course I can I'm a
cabinetmaker. Who do you think makes the items in the shops". I'd
receive a stunned sort of silence then you'd see the lights slowly come on.
