/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>So, shopping is your diy then?
I can't build anything w/o shopping. I buy pipes, round stock, tools, fasteners, I also pay others to machine stuff I can't.

I bought TIG AC/DC welder despite I can easily make one. Because it was cheaper and much faster, I decided I'd spend my time learning how to weld instead.

I didn't built a lathe and it didn't take a year, I spent few weeks restoring old lathe instead.

I built DIY turbo kit for my bike, I love getting things done and I don't like wasting time doing redundant/unnecessary stuff.

If your hobby is time wasting then go ahead. If you enjoy building / fabricating then it's better to understand that you don't have infinity time to spare and you should not waste years for something that can be done in weeks.
