Marco, you have made an excellent point, but let me tell you, rod building is addictive as well. and believe me, they do pile up after a while, unless of course one gives, sells, donates a few here and there. I still consider myself a hobbyists and like billnepp, I do more restorations than I do new builds, or used to anyway....maybe someday after I retire from the retailing world, I will do more than just a hobby...
