Money to burn
Hi everyone,
I was just reading this discussion about the hobby and just wanted to provide some feedback. Yes, I also was taken back about the cost - after I had bought my Meade 10" SCT and Losmandy GM-8 13 years ago - spending just over $5000. I then thought about making a lot of the parts that I thought I needed, so in the past 4 years, I have been investing in a lathe, milling machine, dividing head and various cutting tools, work-holding equipment etc. I was actually quite shocked when I checked the total spending - since I put the costs into a spreadsheet - I have spent almost $6500. It makes me wonder if it was worth it.
Anyway, just thought I would put in my 10 cents worth.
-John
