Electronics workbench coating, what would you recommend?
<< < (5/5)
Berni:
Yes office desks also make perfectly usable electronics workbenches, tho it is good to get a decent quality ones since the cheep flatpack desks you get these days are pretty flimsy (thin, low density particle board).

Building your own is more of a reason when you have requirements that don't fit available desks. Like for mine i wanted it more workbench height rather than desk height and i wanted a 3m wide desk without having legs get in the way, also wanted it deep because of equipment. Nothing out there fit that, so i built my own. While i was at it i also gave it an equipment shelf in the back so that it keeps my test gear lifted a bit out of the way.

And yeah don't underestimate the weight of boat anchors from the 80s, you can have a single spectrum analyzer weigh over 50kg. They certainly don't need to be as sturdy as a workshop bench with a vice, but for sure it has to pass the Matthias Wandel furniture test.
