EXACTLY as he is doing.
By his refusal to accept payment, he makes it completely clear that it is
NOT a business, merely a home hobby workshop, for which many safety-nanny
requirements do not apply.
But, even with that, there is nothing precluding him letting it be known
what gifts, including gift certificates, he would like to receive from
generous people that he helps.
The prosecution LOST a case near here recently against a prostitute who
advertised that she would like "assignations with generous men".
I think that I would far rather trust Tony's judgement rather than the
guvmint when it comes to decisions of what constitutes appropriate health
and safety measures.
