It would be nice to pay for materials as you go, but how far do you go with this? Should only buy bridle straps, center pins, punching, flanges, etc. etc. when I need them? I am renting my house because it has a place for me to do my work and I have an office. Yes, I should have rented a place for $500 a month less, but then where would I have done my shop work when it I do get some? Sometimes you do have to go into debt in order to build, and/or stay in business. It's not ideal, but we need to be realistic, too.
