1 Seig X2 with Hoss modifications

2 LPKF Protomat 90s circuit board mill / engraver

15 3D printers, including: 2 Up! Plus printers, 1 SoliDoodle 3 and lots of Prusa

2 ShopMaster mill/drill/lathes, one configured for CNC right now, the other manual but the retrofit is still there.

1 48" portable CNC router/plasma cutter custom table (the steel supports come out with the water trays and the table converts to hold a high speed 1/4" shank router with a SuperPID - custom job by an old friend very nicely done).

I personally own this stuff, fix it and acquired it all used. I have quite a few BobCAD/Mach3/FastCAD licenses floating around. I do some commercial work on them, but it's mostly side projects: enclosures, mounts, signs, letters, car parts...
Eventually this will all be moved from my home and various storage locations to a makerspace somewhere.

(When your house starts to look like Dean's on a smaller scale, you might want to reconsider your hobby. Many thanks to my extremely cool girlfriend with regards to my tools).
Girlfriend? You should wife her if she is that understanding.
