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.

Getting fed up strimming our 4 acre, very steep field.

I looked at remote control mowers. At the time they were all well over ยฃ6k, so I thought I'd try building one. Well, I've done it and it works well, but it's taken three years and cost over a grand so far in parts.

Um, how? I've strapped physical electrocal devices and petrol powered motors together. Nothing I've done is unique, I hold no IP or copyright and anyone can copy it.

If you mean show others - then sure, I've done that!
