Cabinets can be cheap
Too the bottom right of this photo you can see a glazed front cabinet, theses are a great thing to look out for and can be found cheaply or indeed for free in many places. As well as car boots and junk shops also think about the places where you work. Most places have skips where they are charged for the waste they produce. Bae systems was no different for me and I soon learnt that for a small donation to charity you could takeaway cabinets desks and cupboards saving them from landfill or an incinerator plus the charge to the company. I’d always advocate getting permission from a senior manager and a signed scrap note every time but if your company has similar systems you can get the basic skeletons for a good hobby setup.. my own lasted me 10+ years of happy gaming for next to nothing. To give you an example a friend of mine a commission painter recently paid £600+ to update his hobby space using ikea stuff whilst my own in total was less than £100 over many years. The only real cost is the man hours searching for stuff and the cheek or nerve to ask if you can recycle it.
