Lee, back in the '70s and early '80s I ran an equipment leasing and rental business. Back then, if you had basic aptitude, and didn't mind getting your hands dirty, you could still say, repair your own car without thousands of dollars of diagnostic equipment.
Anyway, we actually thought about doing something very similar to what you're talking about here. What killed the plan though was the astronomical cost of the insurance we would have had to carry. I've lived in highrises for a lot of years, and I always wished they would at least have space so you could build stuff, and now I'm really enjoying having a basement again.

However like most school shops it was well stocked with all sorts of tools and equipment. Imagine, if you would, someplace where you could go and say rent the use of a professional woood lathe and all the tools that go with it. same for any of the power equipment we discuss on this list.. Table saws , power tools the average home does not have a complete stock of. So you tell your family members or Friends you are off to Joe blows shop and come home maybe with a fnished project or at least something you started and done with all the correct tools. Now take that one step further and inside that rented shop is one or two professionals who might assist set up your wood lathe project or in my case I really liked designing and making things on the metal lathe. so if someone wins the powerball or big lottery, there you go, invest in a rental shop which would bring a great deal of satisfaction to many. This commercial was not approved by the Democratic or Republican party , only be the three of us. Me, myself and I.
