Sounds like a form of therapy in and of itself.

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 98 points 5 months ago

Sharing your enjoyment with others. Work you can take pride in. Preserving history. Sounds pretty great for mental health.

[-] blackjam_alex@lemmy.world 51 points 5 months ago

And probably cheaper.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

I can guarantee it’s not cheaper

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 months ago

Depends on if you're in America, or a real first world country.

One won't be cheaper, the other has a high likelihood of being cheaper.

[-] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Also depends on your insurance. I pay $25 per visit, and even over a year when I went every week, I doubt it was more expensive than restoring a train lol.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

And how much do you pay just to have that insurance? How much lower is your paycheck because your company provides insurance?

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, restorations aren't cheap, and the bigger the parts get, the more expensive they get. And it's not like you can hit up ye olde fireboxes-r-us anymore.

steam equipment is definitely not cheaper than therapy, you get a cracked cylinder? Better hope you have literal tons of iron/steel sitting around, and or something/someone to pay for it, as well as someone to machine it, because none of that exists anymore.

Yeah, I was gonna say that these men DID go to therapy.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That was my thought.

Men got themselves a hobby they enjoy, and gets to share with others. Two amazing things for someones overall mental health. Sounds like someone living the dream.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 8 points 5 months ago

Yeah, most people today meed therapy because they feel isolated from their work, unappreciated, and are stressed about finances. A hobby where you work towards a common goal with no real world consequences is what most people need in their life right now. ~~~~

Honestly, if you think about it, therapy did kind of replace the support structures formed in tight knit communities...
