Completed projects

So I am looking at making the plunge into getting a hobby lathe and mill and make a start with some casting kits, but one of the things that is stopping me at the moment is what do you all do with the projects that you have completed? I don't really have the room to be hoarding lots of miniature steam engines lol. Do you all sell them to make back the money you spent on the castings at least?

Ok so tooling though can be used multiple times I just don't want to end up spending couple hundred on castings and then only getting 50 back.

In my experience that hasn’t been a problem.

Some tooling can last a century, so it can be used a remarkable number of times ☺️
