We have a place up here that rents shop space. I looked into it for doing welding and stuff but couldn't get enough interest. A friend had his own repair shop in a big building and rented space and tools out for people to do their own repairs. For some people it was great but overall it was a nightmare. He took a deposit on the tools so they were covered. The problem was that most people aren't mechanics and they were constantly asking him how to do stuff. A lot of times he just went and did it because that was easier than trying to explain it. The other problem was that he wanted to go home at the end of a long day. The so called "just five more minutes I'll be done" was often an hour or more. I don't want to discourage you but most people that want to do their own repairs are too cheap to hire a professional and don't know how to fix their old beaters. Hope this gives you some perspective. Dave
