I say again, to each his/her own, but the time is money thing, I don't know. It's a hobby. So, what is the hourly rate for hunting or fishing. I have a buddy that is a top notch machinest. I tried to get him to build a motor and he said it would be too expensive. I said the parts are probably in the scrap bin. He advised it was his time. He said he could buy one cheaper. I laughed and said so how much per hour do you make sitting on your butt in your recliner drinking beer. I don't think he got it. Never built an engine either!

Good there is something for all of us. Enjoy whatever facet it is that you do.
