For less than $20.00 you can purchase a very good stamp album. Buy one!!! <br /> <br />My (first) wife about had a slobbering fit back in 1962 when I forked out about $12.00 for lumber (believe it or not my first sheet of 4X8 plywood cost me $2.86 - and that was BC - I couldn't even steal it for that price these days a tank of gas costing more than John Glenn's 1962 space flight), snap-track, and two switches. I did all my original carpentry with a hand saw. This hobby is not cheap but most of the initial shock is caused by the expense of getting started - once the original costs are absorbed things (can and will) slow down considerably.
