The hackerspace talk "Building-hacker-spaces-everywhere-Your-excuses-are-invalid
" has a little info on insurance.  One creator explained insurance was 2k a year Noisebridge.  They talked about it being easier than you thought to insure something with the name 'hacker' in it.  Some also had success getting insurance as a vocational school.  Others claimed commercial general liability was appropriate, where they just request you inventory your tools and those are what they cover.
