Well, it seems that I'm a bit overdue in this post, but what the hell.

A few months ago, my brother-in-law was shuffling/consolidating his
worldly goods around, and asked my wife and I if we would be willing to
store some of his things. As a result, we're storing (and using) his
bandsaw, jointer, thickness planer, router and table, and Kreg pocket
hole system. In the space of an hour, we got an almost complete shop
handed to us, for the indefinite future!

I've been having a LOT of fun this fall!

Hope he doesn't ask for them back when when you are in the middle of a
project.

Ah well, that would just force me to buy all new tools, which would be
a financial hardship, but a great Christmas present to myself (any time
of year :-).

Would like to have a brother in law like that myself.

Well, you can't have him!

Just tell him your storage fee is the finishing of the current project.
(There's been a few times I'd heard the phrase, "Can I come over to
borrow my tools?")

Out of siblings, is he?

NOT a gloat. You are only delaying the purchase of all of the tools
mentioned once your brother in law asks for them back. I'm sure once
you realize how much fun you can have that your expenditures for wood
and other "must" have tools will be considerable.

So what happens if you wear them out?? You might have to buy HIM some
new tools. :-)

Well so far, they're in better shape than when they came to me. By the time
I wear them out, I'll be happy to buy an equivalent replacement for him in
order not to give up the (nicer) replacement I'll have bought for myself.

Now that sounds like a fine plan. I intend to pre-emptively bribe him by
making him something nice (and wooden) for Christmas.

Ah, but we were already planning the first of many expenditures towards
this goal anyways. Basically, we already had one foot down the rabbit
hole, and this just pushed us further.
