Larry, you might want to check yer laws in Michigan.
In Arkansas we have, what I consider, a very good law that does not allow someone to sue successfully for injury or losses incurred at another's property if they are there for recreational purposes.
Fer instance, guests are coming to visit and a klutz trips on the stairs and is injured. Common sense tells us that is their own fault. But, in many (most?) states they might be able to sue the homeowner and collect damages. Not so in Arkansas.
We used to have a 4th of July picnic and fireworks at our farm. It grew from a few to quite large when folks started inviting people we didn't even know. That was OK but without our protection law I wouldn't have let them on the property.
If Michigan has such a law, let your friend use your shop for free and enjoy.
