My wife's dad is a heavy-duty golfer. Anytime she starts questioning my investments in hobbies I threaten to take up golf again, and she drops the discussion quick. |

I have used it in so many more ways than I ever thought while building this thing. --- Quote from: NoOne=NBA= on February 20, 2006, 12:03:17 am ---I view my woodworking and arcade hobbies as completely separate. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: AtomSmasher on February 20, 2006, 12:36:53 am ---Luckily woodworking is becoming a permanent hobby of mine (I just finished building a coffee table) so all the tools I bought for building the cab aren't going to waste. --- End quote --- Me too. I am really enjoying wood working. Although I am not sure that MDF is really considered wood. I am thinking about an entertainment center when I am done. Although my wife would probably like me to finish the kitchen (I pulled down all the wall paper as it was fugly. I refinished and primed one half. And the other...well I am sure it will get done soon). |

I got lucky with my equipment. My dad's into woodworking, so I got one of his hand me down routers. It's not the greatest one in the world, but it did my t-molding cuts great, and best part it was free. And for Christmas, I told everyone to get me gift certificates for Home Depot, and with what I collected, I had enough for their cheapest table saw. I even had $0.15 cents left. (They wouldn't give me the 15 cents, they put it back on one of the gift cards.) I picked up a couple of cheap clamps at Princess Auto, and other misc. stuff, but all in all, I don't think I did to bad. And for what it's worth, I wouldn't dare track by expenses that closely. I'm sure I would give up the hobby in a hurry if I knew how much I really spent. I'm just lucky I have a good wife. She's actually encouraging me to pick up a Neo Geo Bust a Move at the next auction. How lucky is that???? :D |

I am joking a little about my wife not knowing. she has been pretty cool about this, except when I get totally focused and forget that there are other people in the family too. She is actually going to this weekends auction with me. :D |
