I share your pains. That an the fact that a lot of tools here (portugal) cost twice as much as they cost in the US and we have way lower wages. For finishes I just realized I have to do my own offline R&D the to learn what works well with the brands I have here. Started doing my own wipe on poly (it's harder than it looks when most brands don't even refer the finish is polyurethane). Also my finishing techniques tend to be a lot slower than what you see on youtube, which I guess makes sense, since I'm not on a schedule, don't need to be profitable but want my pieces to look as good as possible.
