Um, DROOOOLLLL! I would pay that to have access to HALF of what they've got in there! I've got a few books of plans I've drawn up for all sorts of things you just can't go out and buy. I would need some of that equipment to make some of it. I wonder if they plan on getting a steam box for bending large pieces of wood for fine furniture making. Hmmm. 100 of them around the world…where's the list? I want to know where every one of them is. :)

Damn, I wish we had something like that up here.

I do know that the university here has a great engineering shop, and I've often thought of trying to get access to it (I'm an alum).

Totally agree about wishing something like that was around here.  Reminds me of the auto-hobby shop when I was in the Air Force.  They had every tool there with lifts and you just paid by the hour.  Because of insurance constraints, this type of business not feasible.  Wonder how this place got around that?  Good find RS!
