Matthew replies:

Having followed comments on this thread, one thing I would like to point 
out is that for many (most?) of us, this is a hobby.  The doing of it can 
be as much part of the satisfaction as the end result.  Also, the DIY 
approach lets us acquire new skills and a greater depth of understanding of 
what we're about.

Doing things on a tight budget is a great drive for creativity and initiative.

We could go out and buy commercial pulse caps or we could experiment for 
hours and invent the MMC or the next big innovation in coiling...

Just my $AU 0.2 worth.

Cheers

M
