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

Lol... Those tools make a fool of you. But my advice is "buy once, cry once". If you need a bandsaw a coping saw ain't gonna do. Even a small 9" wen bandsaw will do more and will just sit on the end of your bench.
