Self service facility - that would sort the men from the boys.

Liability aside, wouldn't it be great to be able to rent a proper
joinery or cabinetry workshop for an hour or two?

Yes. We've got a combined DIY store / tool rental place in town, and the
rental rates are actually pretty reasonable if you want something in
lumps of a whole day - but I don't think they'll rent by the hour (and
the tools to buy are extremely expensive given that I can typically get
the same ones just down the road at the farm place for far less)
