I TOTALLY agree 100%. I try to do as much as humanly possible myself. This approach pays dividends. Because I want to do everything myself, over the years I have learned gas, mig & tig welding, I have learned how to gas-weld aluminum, build automatic transmissions, built & used my own flow-bench, paint, do bodywork, and on & on. About the only things I cant do myself is major machining. If something is messed up, I have no-one to blame but myself, & I can learn from the experience & do it better next time.
