Hit 100 prints on my homebuilt press, still shocked it works

I built a single-color press out of plywood and drawer slides back in March, just to see if I could. This afternoon I pulled my 100th print off it, a three color design I did with a stencil and a heat gun, no exposure unit. I honestly expected the registration to drift by print 20, but the slides have held tight the whole time. The ink cost me more than the press materials, which is hilarious for something that looks like a treehouse project. My garage setup now has a little log book with every print, mainly to prove I actually did it. Has anyone else hit a random milestone that made you trust your janky gear more than your expensive stuff?
