The tools needed to build the things they need to fulfill their desires are too expensive for one person (or task) so they come together to pool resources and brains to complete tasks they give THEMSELVES. http://www.districtdispatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/triple_play_web.png

In addition there is maintenance. Filters get dirty, alignments need to be recalibrated, blades become dull, and sometimes things break. Welders use wire and/or gas. A laser cutter’s tube will need to be recharged. 3D printers need filament. Be sure to budget for this when acquiring your equipment. It may be worth looking into maintenance contracts for more expensive tools such as laser cutters and mills. http://makezine.com/2013/08/21/stocking-up-school-makerspaces/
