Im not sure if this post matters but im bored.
Ive debated on making stickers or candles just to learn something but im unsure as i dont have a use for them afterwards, havent tried it yet because i overthink.
Should i go with one of the crafts i suggest or is there something more suited for men out there, maybe bread making?
I feel like wood working is one of those cheap in theory hobbies where basically no one can resist and stay with the cheapest kit.
A tool here or there and suddenly you’ve got a $5000 chest with an equal worth of tools in it.
If you are willing to settle for cheaper brands then $2,000 can get you a drop saw, table saw, various battery tools, chisels, hammer, etc.
You can upgrade the tools you get the most use of later.
The wood, glue, varnish etc scale with size of project.
You need the space of course.
Take your time and make something beautiful and unique.
It is possible to keep the kit fairly cheap if you pick up stuff at garage sales for the most part and only get the basics for hand and electric tools. At that point the wood is the expensive part.
But yeah, it is easy to blow a lot of money on stuff you don’t need if you are just doing it as a hobby and not selling stuff.
