They make an awfully good product for the price. I'm just a glutton for punishment and have never done anything the easy way. Just ask any one of my ex-wives.
No doubt. Kirkham is the best. But it is HARD to spread the cost out over time (and effort) when the next step after the enine is a $50,000 roller. I'm raising two boys, building a custom guitar business, working a career, paying for a home and saving for college & retirement. Whats a smuck like me with a cobra problem to do? I sure as HELL ain't gonna give bankers my tool money in interest!! Basturds them all.

Like anything, once you got the tools, you can "eat" for a lifetime.

I come in here (and elsewhere) every so often. All a guy like me wants is plans, advice, and encouragement. I would be willing to go the glass route also... but I need plans!
