Does anyone know if there are any shops open to renting spaces out for people who want to start a project build? I am not sure how to search for something like this. Or maybe just extra garage space with access to expensive equipment that i would not be able to purchase myself? ( i.e. welding machines, lathes, drill presses. etc.). I guess this would be like a club of "freelance" people building their own bikes as a hobby.

Certainly ! :D I will let you rent space to store and work on the bike in my shop. There are some very basic rules however:

You will not be allowed to bring friends or family over. Unless it's your sister and she's hot. You will not be allowed to make any noise over 20db or ask any annoying questions. You will have to bring your own shop rags. You will have to bring my shop rags home with you to launder , then return them neatly folded. There is no smoking of tobacco products.. If you bring anything else to smoke, you must bring enough for everybody. Same goes for pizza. There will be no spitting , nor eye-rolling. You may not use any of my hand tools, welder, power tools, air tools, air compressor, lathe, jacks, lifts, mill, band saw, drill press, sawzall, plasma cutter , torch or dremel tool. You will be allowed to use the sweeping tool and dust collection tool. As you are a DTT member, I offer the discounted rate of $8,000/mo :eek:
 
If you want to come up to Kalamazoo I think I can come up with better terms and your beer will be safe as I don't drink.
