I'm getting my workshop set up and just dipping my toe into fabrication and machining. Big thing I find is the difficulty and expense of sourcing the raw material. Ususally, things like these, that I think I'll just knock up, would end up costing about 3x more in materials than I would need to pay to just buy whatever it is I'm making.
Am I missing something?
