every library should have a guy next to the lathe who you can bring any broken part to who will help you manufacture a replacement part when the corporation that sold you the thing decides it's not profitable enough to repair

every library should have a waterjet cutter with a 20x20 foot bed and it should be capable of sawing your arm off like it's butter. every library should be equipped to manufacture an airplane

Okay but this is what decent hardware stores are for and maybe that’s where this should go. A good hardware store you go in and talk to a guy and he does like $40 of labor to fix your doodad and charges you 20¢ for the materials cost because he’s just there for the love of it.

hardware stores have lathes and milling machines??

also we should combine hardware stores and libraries with the post office. and also do national banking there. and maybe some healthcare too while we're at it

I don’t know how much they actually do right now? I think Stadium Hardware might’ve had a lathe. But I think they’re definitely the people more qualified and interested in providing this service.
