Friendly reminder many libraries have maker spaces or maker spaces they work with. Maybe no need to get your own tools at all!
Comment on Found this great deal on a new chair for my living room. Almost 50% off!

Not only does my local library have a maker space, but there is also a local FB group where people lend their tools and other things (like cooking supplies)

That's actually really cool. I know my wife is on our neighbourhood Nextdoor group. You've got me wondering if anyone on there has a table saw they'd let me use every so often in exchange for some beer or something.

You should definitely ask! Worst they can say is no :)

Building it rn. My “fraction of the price” came up to $61 but I bought about 2x too much lumber.
