So in other words, say we have a shop that is large enough to have a front office. Joe Worker out in the shop says he needs one, so Frank Purchaser goes out and buys the jig. Whoops! Frank Purchaser (being the bloke that actually bought the jig) is now the only one allowed to use it, but lo and behold, Frank is an accountant, not a woodworker. So much for THAT investment...
