What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

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.

I had no idea California had so many native species. Those golden look wild!
They don't, they're sub-variants of the same 3 species. This is like calling Deschutes River Redsides something separate that any other Rainbow Trout.
Golden Trout are definitely special. I remember celebrating when I caught that 6 in fish on a tiny #18 mosquito.

That looks strangely like a long range rifle that c would be well served putting up a prepared defence or neutralising an unsuspecting target. Neither of which are aligned with home defence.
For home defence I want a shotgun. High lethality that doesn't go bouncing down the road looking for another victim.

Now kiss! Seriously, though, what an awesome project. Clone Hero taken to all new levels.

Underground Japanese idols and their fans. It's a whole scene. Look up groups like KissBee, AIBECK, 100-YOKAI, etc.
