I personally love doing these things myself(expecially soldering). I love the self satisfaction I get knowing I made it with my hands and I also get the peace of mind knowing who made it and that it'll stay together. Even if it did cost a bit more for me to do t myself i'd go that route because you don't know who made it and their workman ship.

Even if it cost a few bucks more in the long run, I'd much rather do everything I can myself . I get a lot of self satisfaction and the confidence knowinhg it's done correctly and to my exact specs. When somthing goes wrong there's no one to blame but myself and I'm not at anyones mercy waiting on pins and needles for a replacement or a reply email from Co's.
There are a lot of things I have no choice but to inquire about or purchase but what I can myself is very rewarding, that makes it all worth to me.
