whos machining it? who does the drawings for the machinist? what happens when the first idea doesnt actually work because its fundamentally flawed, the machinist couldnt care less, and it had no tolerancing so machinist did what they felt like and it all needs to be started again?
sure, i got the junk here to do it and i might spend $50 on chains and cables, etc... if i had those bits kicking around, maybe for nothing!
but i also have a mill, a welder, a lathe... rudimentary experience of what can and will go wrong...
yeah, you gotta know what you are doing. lol. i dread even mentioning it to him now.
