[quote=Edchris177]Guys, why all the Killjoy's?
Carolina started his post by stating the fact that many believe it is cheap/easy to make a set, & rather than promulgate old wives tales & myths, he went ahead to try & prove or disprove the theory.
In the end he sits with those who think the real McCoy are not overpriced, but what's wrong with applying some skills to arrive at a logical conclusion?
If no one ever tried to build a better mousetrap, we'd all still own cats.
You really can't factor the cost of a lathe, TIG etc as he didn't buy them for the project. That is like saying it cost me $500 to swap wheels because I use a compressor, & air wrenches. The guy obviously has the tech tools due to his line of work, or he's a hobby machinist. His time is free, as it's a hobby project.
I don't have the skills or the tools, so I had to build a sewer pipe/boatlift wheeled contraption, borrowing heavily from Cat Sailor Mike..
I congratulate him for what he built, he has some pretty cool mag wheels<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Jul 01, 2013 - 03:31 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
