Sounds like something I'd do. Need a simple pine box. Dude wants $100 do make one. Me: drops $3700 on tools because I can do it cheaper.

Yep. I’m making a table for close friends. An embarrassingly large part of my “pay” that I quoted is going towards 4 way panel clamps and pipe clamps that I’ve wanted for a while anyway. The chance to try out rough sawn live edge slabs for my first time is worth it to me to work cheap and get some tools out of it. My wife is not a fan of my thought process.

@@MemphisCorollaSLOL😂, you say that,,,as if she's ever a fan! Hey, I hear ya buddy. That moment doesn't last long, especially when compared to the lifespan of our tools. Mine always comes around quickly though. We have an understanding (15 year's of marriage so far 🤞). I don't say Jack-s**t about ANY kitchen gadget she wants, and she doesn't give me too hard of a time when I add tools to my tool-crib. Having said all that..."we've" got a bedroom that we converted to a kitchen gadget storage/pantry, because those things add up quickly.😅 My wife is an unbelievablely excellent cook. She's never worked as a chef or anything. However, she's known in our community for her cooking. It's a talent and passion that's been passed down from mother to daughter, for IDK how many generations. Her dear departed mother, was an amazing cook as well. I know what some people would have to say about the way I described our roles, but that's just the way WE live. I couldn't care less how other people live, and the roles they play in their lives. Honestly, I know a lot of awesome women tradesmen, and even her late father was an amazing home-cook in his own right. I can't believe that I felt the need to add this explanation to my comment. LOL, sorry 'bout the extremely long-winded comment buddy. I guess your comment hit close to home. Have a good one bud!

Tired of these kinds of titles? Me too. The title is just to appeal to the algorithm. KZfaq loves dollar signs and controversy. BTW, please consider watching the full video of this project. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNWToM2B3ZvKlYE.html 👍 Edit: since changing this to a clickbait title, the views and engagement has doubled. Wonder why this crap is so common now? It's what works and what KZfaq encourages.

@rkwatchauralnautsjediparty7303 Жыл бұрын

I assumed the title was a reference to the cost of the material, time, and tools. A couple months ago I spent over $600 on a new router and router table so I could finish the doors on the home theater electronics console I’m making. The console I’m basing it off of would have cost me $3000 configured how I want it. Parts alone cost me about $1500. Add in the new tools and the time and it doesn’t make sense to somebody on the outside. But I’m learning and have new tools for future projects, even if I don’t necessarily get my money’s worth. Next (possibly) is a lathe so I can make some gorgeous bowls (I hope😄). Would I pay over $100 to somebody for a wood bowl? Heck no. Would I be ok absorbing that cost for each thing I make for the potential future tool use and the feeling of accomplishment? Hell yeah.
