TechShop is a member-based workshop. They have one of every tool you could dream of -- laser cutters, plasma torches, computer-control sewing machines, welders, 3D printing machines, you name it -- plus piles of regular tools (drill presses, lathes, oscilloscopes, miter saws etc.), and once you are member and cleared for training, you can use them whenever you want. They have a big open tables, lots of room, and offer classes for various tool craft as well.
Right now there are only locations in San Fransisco, San Jose and Menlo Park, California and Detroit MI and Raliegh-Durham, NC. I imagine if enough people want one they'll start one in your area. Just don't hope for Washington, DC: all we make here is trouble.
