Hoarder wants to save money b/c they spend it all on useless junk. So they build their own table. They need to buy a used, broken, sander they'll only use once for $65 to do it. The table is left in the rain to rot. They buy more stupid **** to cope.

    A Hoarder is not quite what you have described.

    A hoarder is one who collects things in an excessive amount; so much so it creates an unsafe and unhealthy environment to live in.

    most hoarders begin their excessive collecting habits after suffering a great loss. Some use hoarding as a coping skill in an attempt to avoid the mental health attention they actually do need to cope.

    Have a look at Y/tube and you will see people making crap out of pallet wood and using about $40,000 of equipment to do it - planer and thicknesser, router table, saw, radial arm and bandsaw, drill press, CNC machine.  Crazy.

    I have seen situations like this more then once. To save money they do it themselves or whatever, but then do not take proper care or do not build it right.  Instead of realizing they messed up and it will cost more to try to fix now, they continue to throw more money at the issue, still not takeing proper care.
