Sounds like a form of therapy in and of itself.

Sharing your enjoyment with others. Work you can take pride in. Preserving history. Sounds pretty great for mental health.

Depends on if you’re in America, or a real first world country.

One won’t be cheaper, the other has a high likelihood of being cheaper.

Yeah, restorations aren’t cheap, and the bigger the parts get, the more expensive they get. And it’s not like you can hit up ye olde fireboxes-r-us anymore.

steam equipment is definitely not cheaper than therapy, you get a cracked cylinder? Better hope you have literal tons of iron/steel sitting around, and or something/someone to pay for it, as well as someone to machine it, because none of that exists anymore.

That was my thought.

Men got themselves a hobby they enjoy, and gets to share with others. Two amazing things for someones overall mental health. Sounds like someone living the dream.

Yeah, most people today meed therapy because they feel isolated from their work, unappreciated, and are stressed about finances. A hobby where you work towards a common goal with no real world consequences is what most people need in their life right now. ~~~~

Honestly, if you think about it, therapy did kind of replace the support structures formed in tight knit communities…
