My very first thought upon getting a tour of a local maker space that is equivalent to a TechShop was that these were transformative places that could serve as a basis for people to become small businesspeople or re-trained to enter a changing work place. They really are amazing places and if you have one near you, you really should check it out, you will not be sorry you did.
I am so glad it worked out for this person and I will be supporting his effort share the knowledge.
