Well said Kid. Same goes for me. I'll make a kilt or two because I want to try it and if it turns out half as good as my USAK, I'll be proud to say I made it myself. I'm sure it'll take me dozens and dozens of hours to finish and I'll probably hate my sewing machine when it's all said and done. However, I'll have a kilt that I made and I'll be proud to wear it. When someone asks me where I got my kilt and I say that I made it myself, I'll likely hand them one of Rocky's business cards (because I only have USAK's at this point) and tell them they'd not appreciate the thousands of dollars I'd charge them for half the product if I made them one.

Doing something as a challenge or just to try is much different than making money at it.

I run a machine shop and if you've flown in this country, you've probably had parts on your plane that we made and I may well have handled. That being said, I can make about every part I'd ever need for my race bike, or most anything for that matter, but it is not worth my time when I can buy it for a few hundred dollars.

I'm on the phone with the local veterinarian I'll have him show up and confirm that this horse is now dead.
