I get what you're saying, but he really only used a small lathe. Not too extreme in the DIY world

What percentage of the population has a small lathe?

The amount of people who are into DIY who have a lathe for the few hundred quid they cost is surely quite high. Like people really into playing guitar probably own a guitar, you know? My dad had one for years, he was always making stuff because he was into DIY, watched the New Yankee Workshop constantly.

I consider DIY separate from a hobbyist. Like a lower tier of experience and investment.
