    Honest question, at what point does a workshop transition from ownable to not?

    A small garage shop with a workbench and a tool wall is obvious enough, but can you own a separate workshop outside your home? Can it be far down the street, or out in a barn somewhere, or in the outskirts of town among large factories? Can you own a lathe? Can you own a CNC machine?

    What tools are ownable and what tools are not? What’s the scale-cutoff?

    Bandsaws, drill presses, welders, large trucks, small trucks, cranes, sheet metal cutters and benders, pipe benders, etc.

    Can you buy material? How much? Should it be limited by something else than your funds?

    If you take on jobs that are too much for you to handle on your own, do you have to either make your means of small scale production communal, or give up the job?

    Please draw some lines for me here.

      The line? When you start selling things to people en mass. One or two custom things you sell occasionally? Workshop. Start setting up production lines and hiring people? Now it’s for the people
