What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

Any serious guitarists will let you know their holy grail.
It's not any guitar; it's another guitar.
I bought mine for $100!
I got it new back in the early 2000s but it had a flaw in the fretboard. I returned it for exchange but they discontinued it so refunded me instead. Telling this story to someone a decade later, they suggested eBay. I looked and there it was, bought it on the spot and had it in my hands a week later.
I have enough guitars but am now looking at other instruments. A cello is high on the list.

My dude. $1,200 is not all that much if it's something that is going to be part of the rest of your life.
For sure. I just have a fairly decent barbell right now (came as a set with bumper plates) and I've got other stuff I need to spend money on. But soon!

None of the ones I already own sound good, though. Since it can't possibly be me that is the problem, I need to purchase another, more expensive one.

In California Brook Trout is non-native, but we have a Heritage Trout Challenge where anglers try to catch six of the native trout species in their native streams. When somebody completes the challenge they get a custom certificate showing the species they caught and dates. So far I’ve caught one - California Golden Trout.
I had no idea California had so many native species. Those golden look wild!

The Imperator-Class Titan is the largest mini in Warhammer 40k.
I have fantasized about using one of these in an actual game ever since I learned of their existence in 8th grade.

Never on the ground here anymore, US$100 online but not from any vendor I trust. It's a really nice ingredient for a lot of cocktails.
That's a real shame man. Remember when I worked at a bar that stocked it we would do shots of it all the damn time just for the heck of it. Worst part is I don't even like chartreuse as a shot lmao

Woodworking: An entire log of American Chestnut.
About a century ago, the species was all but wiped out by a blight that came from Japanese chestnut. Some three billion trees died. The blight actually survives in the forest living on but not damaging oak trees, so American chestnuts are struggling to reclaim their historic habitats. The species is critically endangered and efforts to rehabilitate the population are underway, including trying to breed large surviving individuals or to genetically engineer blight resistant trees. Logging is of course completely out of the question.
American Chestnut is an excellent lumber, with many of the properties of white oak in a faster growing tree. It is straight grained, hard and strong, easy to saw and split, rot resistant due to tannins. A fantastic choice for indoor and outdoor furniture, structural timber, even telephone poles. Reclaimed chestnut timber from old buildings is highly prized, and what woodworker wouldn't love access to a few hundred board feet of freshly kiln dried American chestnut...if it was possible to ethically source.
wrote last edited by [email protected]This is really interesting. A few years ago I bought this American Chestnut salt and pepper set. The guy who made it did tell me that he got the wood from a beam out of a barn built before the Civil War but I didn't realize why. I just thought it was a really good looking salt Shaker and pepper grinder...

I dream of one day finding an original Model M keyboard in a Goodwill or yard sale for like $10. Every time I'm in a thrift store I look over the electronics section JUST in case.
Also waiting for the day I find a random copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn. Only 20,000 north American copies were made, which sounds like a lot but in video game numbers is insanely low. I've only ever seen it in the real world once at a gaming convention and it sold for $1,500.

Why is it a holy grail? Also what is it?

I edited it.
I understand most of the individual words in your explanation, but it doesn't really tell me what the point is. About all I got from it is people writing back and forth to each other, and since you mentioned 'otaku', probably a Japanese fandom thing?
I could google for 'exchange diary otaku' and maybe find a better explanation, but tbh I'm not that invested.

A debit card with limitless funds
wrote last edited by [email protected]I wouldn't need unlimited funds. If I could charge $100/day* on it that would be enough

The true Holy Grail item in my hobby of motorcycle riding would be a MotoGP bike.
Realistically the achievable halo option is a 1000cc supersport and lots of track days.

If you want the model M just for it's feel you should check out Unicomp keyboards. They make modernized versions that feel identical according to a friend who uses one. Although they are way more expensive than 10 dollars.
