Not really. Over half the woodworking channels I watch never count the cost of materials that they already own when they total up the cost.
I'm kind of ok with them not counting the cost of tools, but the materials need to be counted, especially when they are doing something like "how to build a desk for under $50."
Use what you got!... You got a dull kitchen knife? Sure you can make a kitchen cabinet. Here's how you do it...get the dried marine plywood from your walk-in wood dryer. Once you cut all the parts on the bandsaw and planed them on your walk-in planer, then simply feel for splinters. Any splinters can easily be dealt with using your dull kitchen knife. You can also use old used up sandpaper. Once you sprayed it, just put it in your UV curing room with automated venting. It will be ready for the installation crew by tomorrow.
