That was funny Maybe that's where the company that makes the orange one got it's idea from? lol

Interesting build, but it seems by the time you buy all of the pieces you need, and spend the TIME it must take, it might be cheaper to simply buy one. Good education in how they are built though!!

I guess some1 looking to try it for a pass time project might rather build it but I have to agree it might be cheaper unless you build 5 at 1 time kinda like a group build.

well aslong as u can get the materials it seem to be quite easy. if i made the time for it i could probably make one in about 4hrs start to finish, taking care to not make any mistake . i have most of equipment used aswell

I agree. I love DIY but you would need to build a few of these to stare approaching the precision you get from a manufacturer.
These guys have built many and are usually refining them along the way. To build one or two you are not going to approach that efficiency.
