What about a makerspace?
I have a shed. I don’t have a garage. I don’t have any more room for any more tools. Most of my tools are things I’ve used for one or two projects and that’s it.
Personally I’d much rather have a maker space that has a tool library so I stop spending so much money on tools that I need for one project. Like a hardwood floor nailer. I’ve got full hardwoods in my house now. Wtf do I need that for? Every time I find out a friend is going to start installing hardwoods, it turns out that they already bought the nailer by the time I found out.
I'm not opposed to it, but there's something nice about having your own workshop. Depends on what you're doing. I also have fewer and worse makerspaces where I am now than places I've lived in the past - it's a crapshoot.
