I must have missed something here. How do you equate money , or costs with the time spent in your workshop?Isn't the whole idea of having a hobby to get us away from the rat race? To my way of thinking time spent building is not "costing" me but rather it is PAYING me thereputically. But I am intrigued, tell me how much it costs to play a round of golf (other than green fees and bar tabs) Or how about stamp collecting? Those people must really be in the red spending all that precious time gazing at a stamp.
