   There is something to be said for trying to finish a project on a   
   Saturday afternoon, and being able to make a part complete the job   
   today.  As opposed to waiting until Monday to run down to the store if   
   you have the time on Monday and if the store actually has the part you   
   need.  Or worse have to order the part and wait until Monday until they   
   ship it... at the earliest.   
      
   I've spent $100 (or more) worth of my time to make a $2 part more than   
   once to finish a job and get it DONE rather than having another   
   unfinished job on the list waiting on parts.

   I'm likely to want something I can't buy, like those bolts threaded far   
   enough that the solid shank bore the shear load and the flange nut bottomed   
   on the threads held the parts just free enough to pivot. Most of the sawmill   
   and gantry bolts have been turned smaller and beveled on the end to help   
   align the heavy parts.   
      
   When I was driving lasers at microwave frequencies I made everything at home   
   because of severe packaging and operating constraints, and uncertainty of   
   what I could get away with until the signal path had been partly completed   
   and tested on a Vector Network Analyzer. I even made 0-80 x 1-1/4" fillister   
   head screws and hand-fitted a heat spreader to a warped heatsink too thin to   
   fly-cut.
