I am building a sailing ship model, have been stalled for awhile because I need about 2 dozen dead eyes.
I am holding a piece of walnut dowel in my hand, I just finished looking at a couple of internet hobby stores.
I can buy the dead eyes for under 5 dollars including shipping or I can make them for no dollar cost at all with the tools I own and the wood scraps I already have, but will have set up a couple of power tools and put in a couple hours of repetitive effort, then clean up. My hobby time does not have a monetary value, the choice is spending time at the work bench making parts or spending it on some other activity.
Or do I put it off for a couple more months until I am a prisoner of the weather, when going outside is miserable. Right now it is getting cold, but a walk in a park, or a road trip to see the sights is still relatively pleasant.
This is an internal debate with myself, I think I am going to put off making a decision and go fix dinner.
