I wonder if he has liability insurance. Sounds like
a law suit wating to happen.

I like that old shop sign:

Shop rate: $35 an hour
If you watch: $50 an hour
If you help: $75 an hour

I would not turn any metalworking piece of equipment I own over to someone
I
do not know well for a rental fee. Grinders, saws, and everything that
makes sparks or flames can hurt people. Smart people either do it
themselves or have it done. Stupid people look for a way to get around
paying and get it done on the cheap. Or do it themselves, do a half ass
job, and end up paying more to have it done again or fixed.

There are a ton of shared workspace places springing up worldwide, but
usually the tools appear to be purchased specifically for shared use.

Here's one:

Too bad it's so far from here. $89 a month is pretty reasonable.

There is a similiar shop near me I looked into. The catch was you had to
take a class for each piece of equipment before you could use it. I
understand why, but the classes were not cheap and I think that is how they
made most of their profit.
