That tiny bit of pine wood cost 90 dollaroos?! Christ, no wonder I can never afford to make anything :-(
That's like, 6 full weeks of house electricity payments right there, haha.
That's some cheap electricity
You may benefit from a energy efficient fridge. Old appliances can cost a lot of extra energy (or are using AC/Electric Heating, that will cost extra of course).
If he had bought a sheet and ripped his own slats on a table saw it’d have been cheaper. But then he’d have to have a table saw. Fabrication is mostly front loaded. If you aren’t equipped for it then economies of scale is working against you.
