WOODWORKING costs $0?!?!?! What??? How much have you spent on tools? Do you smoke a pipe and whittle on the front porch or something? You don't visit Rockler a

  I bought tools 15 years ago and I don't use them that often, so they don't wear much, and never break. So now it's mostly free. Wood is quite cheap depending on what you do (and I'm not Nick Offerman). Most projects cost less than €100-200 in materials and take 3 months, so that's around €50 per month on average. Not "free", technically, but not far from free.

    Are you doing it all by hand…? Why does it take 3 months? Are you buying huge logs and then using a carving knife for the entire project???? I could easily spend much more on wood for a weekend project. I cannot certainly fathom only $50/month for woodworking unless your hobby was exclusively turning small bowls and you loved waiting months for bowls to dry out.
