The doorbell wants a flat surface to attach to, so I needed to put something behind the doorbell anyway.

104 good buddy I'm showering at the most sketchy place in MD so hit you on the flip

Good water pressure. It's not gold gym but I'm back in a track suit with my floppy floppies

Restoring old outboards.
No, you get migraines.

Uhh.
Casting metal? Can be done fairly cheaply once the initial purchases are done. Does intense heat give you migraines?

Blacksmithing is probably a no go.

Painting? Cross-stitch? Aquaponics? Calligraphy?

Yes to intense heat, but only if I'm around it for a really long time.

You could get into casting small items. Its only once you get into stuff that weighs more than several pounds that you end up having a lot of heat around.
Jewelry and other small items you can get away with a desktop* crucible and heater, about as much heat as opening an oven.


*don't put a crucible heater on your desktop
 
If you want cheap don’t do stained glass or pottery.

Should probably avoid quilting too.

Maybe sourdough? That’s a fairly cheap hobby and you can eat what you make!

Geocaching. It's an excuse to go out to weird parks and locations and shit you never would have gone to otherwise.

If you're into crafting, you might have a makerspace in your area that'll let you do stained glass/pottery/whatever on the cheap. The one here has courses where you pay $50 CAD for a 3 hour course where you turn a blob of clay into a mug or make a stained glass ornament.

You would think that makerspaces would be cheap but they just get you addicted. Then you buy all your own stuff.
