Everyone I know who has woodworking tools doesn't want other people to use them because

A) The tools are dangerous and they don't want people to cut off their fingers

B) they don't want other people to fuck up their blades because they are expensive

The CNC versions are relatively safe, though fucking up the blade is still not impossible.

Professional CNC machines are pretty safe for the operator, but it's very easy for inexperienced operators to make a mistake that costs hundreds (thousands?) of Euros to fix. I'm a member of a makerspace, and they don't let you touch the CNC mills without supervision.

Homemade CNC machines are usually not safe.

Could there be a workshop where you have to have a certain level of experience or training in order to use the tools?

With high risk tools someone could be on staff to do that part of the project
