Most of the reason I chose the Cox is that this is mostly a "zero dollar" project and I have a bunch of new sure starts in a bucket as donors, most the metal..., and besides the tap, all of the tooling. It is less of a project to power a specific project and more to learn new skills and practice them. Like many right now the budget is tight so I have been hopping around a lot doing what steps I can do with the materials or parts I have on hand...then moving to something else that needs more labor than time. I look at a back room full of hobby items, and I have found myself in the past "75 bucks"'ing myself to death on projects when accumulation of skills will probably help me do more cool things in the long run LOL. in short: I'm cheap and just entertaining myself killing time and I'll make one with optimal parts after I prove I can pull off a simple, loud one
