No, it's mostly insulated with 40mm Kingspan/Celotex as well as having and double layer floor with membrane in between.
I have a small heater running on a thermostat which easily maintains 22degC in there with snow on the ground outside.
As I type it's 8degC outside and 23degC inside........I'm sweating....:-)

Nice workshop, very tidy and clean. 8c in summer? Currently it is 13C in the winter morning, and I am freezing.

My workshop is shared with the car, but the electronics side is in the bedroom next to the computer.

Just rearranged my lab into something halfway usable, complete with mascot napping by the soldering unit.

Here's my little helper............cutting something.

Is that a U1241B or U1242B?

U1242B

Happy with the DC performance, AC not so much, can't seem to measure AC ripple on a DC signal. Good thing most of my measurement at my bench are DC.

Other items in pic:

Fluke 8050A, 2X my favorite meters
Rigol DS1052E digital scope, modded to 100MHz
Kenwood CS-2110 analog scope 100Mhz
1.2-20VDC 1.5A LM317 Power Supply, Made in school ~25 years ago
Spools of wire, Daughter loves to cut
Daughter 2.75 years old
Panasonic SA-HE75 stereo
Pentium 3 playing mp3's (running mpd) on floor
GW Instek SFG-1003 Function generator
Assorted projects (all over bench and shelves)
Dolly stroller (modded to transport sick dog, RIP Brodie)

Out of view:
Samsung laptop i5
Weller soldering iron WES51
Telephone
Printer, Samsung ML2010
Haier 10" HDTV
Realistic scanner PRO-2022
Samsung T240 Monitor (kinda in view)
Samsung 152N monitor
bunch of project boxes
Daughter's drawing station
Pencil sharpener, hand operated bench mounted

The Pentium III was going to the junk heap from work years ago, I grabbed it and put Slackware 8 or 9 on it. I made the fan quiet by putting a resistor in series with the fan. I use it to play mp3's and whatever I get from itunes. I have mpd running on it and have a remote control working for it using lirc. I also find I'm using the serial port as a debug tool for my microcontroller projects. My main computer runs windows but I find running my music on a separate computer handy whenever I need to reboot for whatever reason.

I have a P11 running still, with win98 and a single app, telephone logging. 2G hard drive, and a spare in the case as well. Did do a dedusting in March, due again soon.

Let's see how this turns out... In a 500 sq/ft apartment. Both benches are moveable, the 'instrument' bench is some commercial unit that I dragged home bit by bit (yes, the work surface as well) by bicycle.

Kepco power supply
GW Instek power supply new
Instek GDS 1102A digital 100 MHz new
Instek GDS 6103C analog 100 meg new
Goldstar 9020A analog 20 MHz used
Tek CFC250 freq counter used
Tek CFG 250 signal gen used
Instek GAG 810 audio gen new
Hammond 500 W isolation new
PowerStat L116C 'Variac' used and tested for safety's sake, mine
Fluke 77 DMM this I remember waiting 'in line' to get in the 80s @ Crawford
Agilent U1251A
Duoyi LCR meter some 'brand X' but it agrees almost to the last digit every time with the Agilent, close enough for me
uCurrent
WES 51 Weller, and yes, for the eagle-eyed, there are two more in boxes brand new. blowout pricing. Lots of TI, Motorola, misc data books. A 'first edition' of Art, I'm still waiting for #3, and like many others there are three or 4, or some odd number of projects under way.

and all this so I can make LEDs blink, speakers shriek, goofy Xmas gifts, and glow-in the dark skulls...

kek · « **Reply #217 on:** July 30, 2012, 05:12:43 am »

Wow, lot's of stuff in 500sq.f. I see an rp electronics bag, I was just there a week ago. You must be in the Vancouver area.

Ken

urbanwriter · « **Reply #218 on:** July 30, 2012, 04:24:42 pm »

RP you bet; that's why I left the bag and a couple other evidence markers in the shots. I prefer Main Electronics because they have 'attitude,' seldom shop at Lee's (but they do stock inductors), hit RP once in a while, rarely Interior. Jameco about once or twice a year and only if I'm ordering 100 555 @ once to make the shipping make sense.

Simpson 464 died on someone else, then somebody did a botched job (even by my amateur standing) repair job, and I'm still looking for just one front panel jack that 'looks' the same. Wish me luck. It did however come with the original paper tube that shields the 'D' cell batteries, and the manual/schematic.

Who needs a bedroom? And the kitchen works well for heat-gun and hot snot.

Change all the panel jacks and be done with it.

Hi, i'm new here. I collect measurement stuff. Not everything is in my lab because it is to small ( or as some folks say, i have to much gear) most things I got for free but in non working condition or not used for 25 years or so.
Most things are HP, Tek, Philips, General Radio and Fluke
I have my own hobby calibration lab ( fluke 332 and some other models, guildline standard cells, two KV deviders, resistance and capacitance standards from ESI and GR)
scopes ( about 15 or so)
Multimeters ( over 30, from analog electrometers tot 7,5 digit, from uA to petaOhm)
VNA's ( 3) SA's (3 and a 4th but defect one on the way)
Bridges ( GR1620, GR1650, GR1608, TF1313, HP4260)
Counters, Time standards, curvetracer, funtion, pulse and RF generators.
I love to measure components and design instruments for micromeasurements like fA, uOhm ect. or calibration.

Welcome to the forum! Very nice collection.

Edit: Nice stuff on your site. Capacitor testing info was very intreresting.
