    I just had a 128hz thermal imaging camera delivered today which I am looking forward to trying later tonight after some food. In fact I might check the temperature of my food.

    I love my Leica parallel plate micrometer when put onto my Leica NA2 optical level.

    0.1mm accuracy with the Invar staff, now that’s proper engineering levelling stuff.

    Cock on.

    A workshop full of bikes to play with (sorry maintain) and a mac network. Nothing fancy but I get to be BOFH, we can’t afford a PFY yet!

    My work is one big toy.

    I have an A1 plotter I print plans etc. out on for hydro schemes.

    I go offroading in my 4×4 up the Highlands.

    I get to open big valves and tinker with massive forces of nature.

    I may have no pictures but I know I win this thread!

    Ahh, just wondered. I maintain the machinery that makes film for photographic applications amongst other things. They dwarf any printer 😆

    I was going to say JetBrains ReSharper, but I don’t think that’s going to win this thread!

    I get to play with these while the Navy are on their holidays!

    T45 Destroyer.
    Just short of Billion quid a throw – I’ve sat in the captains chair and everything!

    We’ve got a set of these.

    It’s kind of cool being able to lift an 8 tonne bus up in the air so you can walk underneath it.

    I remember donkeys years ago getting to play with Roland large format pen plotters when they were first around. We used to marvel at the way the so-called optimisation resulted in a seemingly random series of pen movements.

    Sadly I don’t get to play with anything particularly exciting these days. What impressed me most were the Zeiss glass plate camera and stereo comparators I used for photogrammetry as a student.
