That's Cute.

Well this is my lab. I’m a symphony orchestra musician, but I don’t have an electronics workbench yet. I hope I will have one soon. Can’t wait to start setting things on fire.   
Btw this forum is amazing.

My vote for the best workbench so far

Which musician is you ?

[JohnnyMalaria]

Which musician is you ?

In an electronics forum? Conductor, surely!

Boooom! 

Nah I’m not actually on this picture, but I’m usually in the second to front desk, at the conductors 1-o-clock

- a partner that cleans up after you,  naaaaaaah never heard of that.

Nah. They're not foolish. They don't want to get blamed because you can't find where the part/tool was tidied away to.

SWMBO knows better to touch the tools in the office.  There are house tools, work tools in my company van and then the tools in my office, which are off limits and locked up.  No using my expensive tweezers to pull splinters out of fingers.

So you discovered the EEVBlog Forum (and acquired TEA) 4.5 years ago?

Not bad but also not fair, what was on the covered shelves 5 years ago?

BTW, what was the SWMBO comments evolution?

In 2022 you need a new room.

Yes, and my addiction gets worse by the day.

There was some equipment in there but not a lot. Sorry, I don't have a pix of the doors open during that time.

There is no SWMBO so no worries. 

By next month I may need a new room.

No SWMBO is a mixed blessing.  Unmoderated acquisition can be dangerous.  (But I like to live on the edge. )

Swap meet at the vintage radio museum on Saturday.

You don't acquire TEA. TEA acquires you.

Is that in the same vein of "Pizza will send out for you."

Exactly. I must now acquire your excellent quip for my post footer.

Yup 

My land eats residential lawn mowers. I've put as many hours on it in five summers as it would see in just two weeks of commercial use. It's a tank. Yeah, it wasn't cheap but it will last much longer.

I had a Toro Z-Cutter before that. The engine literally exploded with me sitting on the mower. Shrapnel everywhere. I was lucky it flew out the side of the crankcase and not forwards into the gas tank.

element14 is running a bench photo contest.  The prizes look kinda lame, but they have some interesting categories:

•      Where’s my Cat? (messiest bench)
•       Tony Stark’s Dream Bench (state of the art bench)
•      Fire Hazard Award (Worst cable management)
•       Pepped to the Post Award (Best coffee mug)
•      Totally Screwed Award (Worst organisation of screws, nuts and bolts)
•      Bat Cave Award (Award for wide range of tools)
•       Mom Would Be Proud (Neatest bench)
•       Man Cave Bench (Best use of personal space for a bench)
•      Jury Rigged Award (Most improvised or makeshift repair or bench)
•       Time Machine Award (Best piece of Retro Tech on display)

I'm pretty sure there are several strong contenders for all of those here!

The prizes are not motivating me. If there was a Keysight logo on one I might consider it

The only thing vaguely interesting is the Milwaukee bit set and I can get that from Home Depot.  And I bet I can even get Mrs. GreyWoolfe to buy it for me.

Sounds like you already won, GreyWoolfe.

You're a very lucky man. 


Now about your current signature...

I don't care what anyone thinks of me.  Except SWMBO and dogs.  I want her and dogs to like me.

Fixed it for you.

Nah. The original was fine. Dogs are more dependable and forgiving.
(Hopefully SWMBO doesn’t read this )

 I find it hard not to like someone who truly likes dogs.

[BillB]

I think the real trick is to get cats to like you; if that's even possible.
