Ok, you asked for it! Two questions to be answered.

1. Are you building this as your personal “Hobby” Shop?
2. Are you planning on doing some side work for cash?

If the answer to #1 is yes, then the answer to your question is no.
If the answer to #2 is yes, then the answer to your question is yes. Consider it a business expense.

Unless you’re independently wealthy it wouldn’t make sense to spend the extra forever.🛠
