> No one should be able to use a hot glue gun or X-Acto in your facility without first paying you and consistently physically showing up to hear you tell them how, when, why, and for how long they're allowed to use it.

This is why I end up just buying my own tools. By the time I factor in a couple months of membership just so I can get trained up to use the machines, plus the gas & time sinks of driving to the place, I've blown the time and the money to get my own gear instead. A 3d printer, a variable power supply, a soldering iron, and all the X-Acto blades I can break cost me less than 4 months at Hacker Dojo, and they're here in my garage, and if they get ruined and set me back on my project it's my own fault.
