HI again Joe
I would have to agree with your reasoning particularly cost,
I'm tend to make or mend rather than buy things any way,
I also,know that if facilities at work wern't so good I would rather get
somebody to make up my own design for me rather than buy off the shelf items
unless cost dictated otherwise. Good luck with the project, hope some more
people like your idea.
