    You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

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

      Friendly reminder many libraries have maker spaces or maker spaces they work with. Maybe no need to get your own tools at all!

        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.
