Is that some kind of deranged belt sander in the lower left? for getting into tight quarters, I'd imagine?
sorry about the huge pic size, but I'm not tech-savvy enough to know how to correct it.

One often sees shop-engineered tools like that belt sander--tools designed to allow use in situations that are common enough in that particular shop.

Belt sander
I had a belt sander of the same type pictured. In the photo the forward handle is removed. I bought my makita in Hong Kong and carried it for several years then gave it away when I found I wasn't using it that often. I think it took a 1 to 1 1/2" wide belt though it was a metric size which I've forgotton. Another reason I got rid of it was outside of Hong Kong I rarely found any belts that fit. Wonderful tool for a few jobs but hard to control because of its narrow but vicious cutting surface.
