What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

I bought a $20 Stanley sharptooth saw and a few second hand chisels.

See the banner on !woodworking@lemmy.ca

And I haven't even bought any stationary tools 😅

I just had to replace the body/sole of my father's old Stanley Bailey smoothing plane, because the cast iron got brittle in England's winter chill and as I picked it up one morning it fell and smashed in two 😭

Was surprisingly easy to find replacement original Stanley Bailey parts cheap though, so I got it fixed up good as new :-D
