There are similar (ish) workshops in my area, where one can get a membership to have a workspace.
The issue is that they had a table saw, router, (very nice) miter saw table, and drills/hammers. I build almost primarily with hand tools, so the 150$/month membership would be an absolute waste of money.
If you do this, you have to cater to any builder/repair worker that may come. That is the people who slot frets with a table saw, and the ones who cut out neck blanks by hand with a rip saw and hand planes. That can be a challenge.
If you're looking for an excuse to order the entire stewmac catalog, this is your chance. If I'm ever in NYC it would be the first place I'd visit.
