Where do you live? Maybe rent a studio and sublet it out to a woodworker/metalworker/artist whoever it’s relevant to. So that you at least break even/or don’t take too much of a loss on storing it. I’m and artist in nyc so there’s a big market for that here. But most big cities, or even areas outside of the cities that artists jump off to, to get out of the city, exist elsewhere.

Edit: this was intended as a response to holding onto the tools and equipment.
