Did you ever watch Craft Corner Deathmatch back the day? Probably not beause it got cancelled for low ratings. But if you did happen to catch it, Jason Jones would deliver the great line at the end of the show 'Remember its cheaper and easier just to buy stuff".
This might be a weird thing for me to say but sometimes its the journey of making something that is fun. And sometimes you just want to buy something with a couple clicks and have it sent to you house in 3-5 business days. Its just about finding the balance that works for you.
