Ok after work I went to the DIY market to get stuff for my new setup.
I built a small sidetable, four ready to go legs of 75cm and a white MDF 650x300mm nothing fancy just wanted to get it going.
Placed that at the right to the workbench (as suggested), on the picture it looks higher than the workbench but actually it is a few cm lower.
So I realized that the SMT tweezers are only used occasionally in rework say <10% of the time so I set those apart from the rest, I can connect and fetch it when needed, one down four to go
.
The desoldering iron has a double wire one for vacuum one for electricity which makes it more rigid and harder to handle.
So after some thinking and trying I decided to move those twincords to the back, behind the switchbox to the station, so that is also no longer a workbench problem, two down, three to go.
Then the three other irons, I did as suggested by some of you (thanks again I really appreciate it) to let the wires just hang down to the side of the workbench.
So I am going to experiment with this setup the coming weeks, maybe tweak something but my first try was really a great improvement.
Thanks to all that contributed!
BTW the rest of the bench is a mess, it is really time to do a spring clean up. Oh boy....
