I have to agree with you, But I want to add this comment
you know anyone can do this if they can throw enough money at it,

that ends up being no challenge whatsoever, but the ones that have to 
watch their budgets and do still do their thing, My hat is off to them, 
and say, they went thru their challenges.

some people that can throw money at everything, the way I see it, cant 
do the challenges ahead of them, what would happen to their hobby if 
some way this loose money disappears?  They cant do it.

I started my business in 73 w/o a penny to my name, matter of fact, I 
owed myself money.
well, to this day, I have never looked back.
of course at that time, I heard all the hand wringers crying I couldnt 
make it without money to throw at it.
no, I accepted the challenges. Glad I didnt listen to them.

Just like some of my stuff, I will make parts by casting, platings, 
machining, etc. but here again, I always here, why didnt you just go 
down and buy one?
I enjoyed making it, I have a pride I made it, I feel good about making 
it. I do not feel so good when I have to throw hard earned money at 
stuff when I can do it myself
Enough said, LOL
