I think i have a bit more tools than everyone else on this site (not trolling intended), considering i have access to a huge mill with a 4th axis (x,y,z,rotation) for my dad's company that I'll learn how to use somewhat soon. I also have a lots of other basic tools like a dremel, hot glue guns, drills, buffer/sander, metal saw, wood saw... Also lots of electronic stuff like multimeters, soldering irons, solder remover, empty circuit boards, prototype boards...

What kinds of tools do you have?
Also, what kinds of mods, and at what complexities, have you done? Did any of them require machining parts with a mill (I doubt it lol )?

I use my abrasive water jet almost every day to make the titanium catch plates. I fire up the injection molder once a week or so for the custom shells. It's a little one though, only a 10,000lb piston pressure. I have a small kiln that I use to sinter my own ceramic weights for darts and to slump the glass for my upgraded Longshot sight optics.

At home I have a Grizzly mini-lathe, Delta band saw, DeWalt scroll saw, General drill press, hand drill, and a Dremel. I spend 5 days out of the week at my high school's FIRST robotics team workshop, which contains 3, 4-axis mills, and 4 band saws, vertical and horizontal, 3 drill presses, and 2 metal lathes. Oh yeah... I'm 14.
