Yup, I totally get that. Plus theres the satisfaction of it. And for many things the option to have it custom suited to your needs.

If I was a billionaire, there would be very few things I'd buy from a factory. Well, maybe not few, like toothbrushes toilet paper etc... obviously there are many things id get factory, but wherever possible, I'd prefer hand made by artisans, because its cooler, I want them to have jobs, and I can have it custom made. I'd be prepared to pay that premium for others to do it too.
