Whats Tools are in your Garage?

Number1husker has a cryogenic processor in his garage. What other interesting, expensive or unusual equipment do the rest of you have in your shops?

I have a 5 in 1 Robland combination X31 woodworking machine - 12" planer, 12" jointer, Sliding mortiser, Shaper and Table saw with a sliding table powered by 3 * 3HP 220volt motors. Plus I have a LT16 HD 13" Resaw Laguna bandsaw with a 4.5HP 220volt motor and various other woodworking tools...

I have a pair of pliers which I use as a hammer. An old table knife used as a screw driver (Phillips and standard). The remains of an old Peechee folder that I use for a ruler. An abacus. A cigarette lighter used exclusively for opening beer bottles. A can of air. duck tape (but I haven't been able to catch one yet to see if it sticks to them.) A big box of push pins. And an ELYTT ENERGY syncho-cyclotronic circular particle accelerator in the hopes that one day I will be able to replicate the red "power goo" the have in the Hinkley factory and enable my Sprint to achieve warp speed on the fly.

I don't have any tools in the garage, but I do have an air compressor in the living room.

I have a few tools that I'm not sure what they even are for, but they sure look great.

Yes, yes -most of you are like myself with cases of duct tape, hammers of various sizes and wood working tools that we use on our bikes. Some ARE out there ,however, with some serious machinery/tools/implements . Interesting that these folks are maintaining their silence. They probably have correctly concluded I would be unable to comprehend their usage .
I am wiped out- rode for seven hours in the mountains today, down to Co.Springs over 24 to 67 to Decker, ended up by Vail. Beautiful day. What a great bike. My rear tire is total trash, however,can see the belt now NOT a good sign.
A few days left of vacation. will have to get new shoes tomorrow and ride some more.
(still can't believe some one has a cryogenic processor- how cool is that.)

I'm going to venture a guess that Don and OnD have some serious kit in their garages. Retired mechanics never stop tinkering they just don't get paid to do it anymore. Don't think Don is retired yet or am I wrong on that one. Repairing airplanes and gunsmithing are expensive hobbies.
