Budgeting for hobbies that have irregular expensive purchases

Simulated community examples only. Not financial, tax, investment, or legal advice.

Most months my hobby costs almost nothing. Then I need a major tool or pay for a workshop, and the purchase blows through a neat monthly entertainment budget. I'm considering a hobby fund that accumulates unused money rather than resetting every month. How do you budget for irregular expensive interests without feeling guilty about purchases you've deliberately saved for?
