i agree totally with your thinking, absolutely...my perspective though, comes from a different point of view...as a business owner in the woodworking field, it is to the benefit of the shop to give the men easy, usable equipment...if i was retired or just doing this kind of work as a second income or hobby, i would definitely be building a lot of "toys" myself...personally, i would rather build the somewhat "exotic" pieces, like a multi-router, but business sense dictates i buy the equipment rather than spend the man hours to build it in house...but i applaud the creativity and ingenuity of anyone who builds a piece like this pantograph router...one of the reasons i take my mods to certain extremes is i am a bit of a frustrated builder myself...anyway, it is all good and look forward to anything else that is along these lines...keep it coming!...thanks...joe
