Whats your Work-Bench/lab look like? Post some pictures of your Lab.

Ill throw mine in the mix as well.

I just noticed c4757p it looks like we shop at the same place for storage bins.

I use to have the exact equipment at my school. Most of the labs are getting a facelift so we are getting some nice Agilent equipment.

[John Coloccia]

My basic bench for assembly and test work.  There's other equipment scattered around...power supplies, function generators, resistance boxes, a scope, etc.  I try to keep the bench relatively neat, though, or it quickly gets out of control.

About time someone showed off their workspace with a bit more entropy. Here's mine.

My humble lab. Still in progress, there is another half being completed shortly.

What's the red contraption on the shelf between power supply and multimeters? I assume some hot air device right?

Didn't even notice that. Looks like a hot air gun to me (resting upside down on some sort of built-in stand?).

[John Coloccia]

That's a heat gun.  For whatever reason you really don't see that style much anymore but they were very common at one time.

Master brand... looks like they are still made:  http://www.masterappliance.com/heat-tool-products/heat-guns/master-heat-gun

Here's my incarnation of a work bench. Storage shelving makes a nice bench for the price. Should be moving to a new house later which will be better so I can have a separate bedroom too

Photo is too large, completely unviewable not viewable just by clicking...

But, that's a good idea about the storage shelving.  For those in the US, it's sold at Costco (Whalen brand).

What did you use for the benchtop?

[con-f-use]

Photo is too large, completely unviewable...

1.) Right click on the image
2.) Click 'View Image' or 'Open Link in new Tab'
3.) ...
4.) Profit.

But yes, the JavaScript-Function "expandThumb()" in "./forum/Themes/default/scripts/topic.js" should read differently or be set via CSS. I use a greasemonkey-script to limit the width.

Code: [Select]

// This is a part of: ./forum/Themes/default/scripts/topic.js
// *** Other functions...
function expandThumb(thumbID)
{
var img = document.getElementById('thumb_' + thumbID);
var link = document.getElementById('link_' + thumbID);
var tmp = img.src;
img.src = link.href;
link.href = tmp;
img.style.width = '';
        // here is the fix:
        img.style.maxWidth = '60%'; // not larger than this percentage of the screen
img.style.height = '';
return false;
}

i can see spider web in this photo...

That looks nice and cosy

Explained how to change the CSS here.

[EEVblog]

I would add this to the CSS, it will make images resize to their parent element if larger width than their parent element. This should fix images on the whole website and anything in the future.

Code: [Select]

a img {
    max-width: 100%;
}


Code: [Select]

.bbc_img {
    max-width: 100%;
}


So I just stick those two lines of code anywhere inside "./forum/Themes/default/scripts/topic.js" ?

[Shock]

I told Dave how to add that to the cascading style sheet here.

I get most of my fun out of repairing stuff. Haven't got into design/build but that's largely because I can't think of anything useful I can be bothered to make. Repairing things provides the challenge I crave and is a great way to learn many aspects of electronics. With design/build you have to learn to know how to make something do what you want. With repair you have to figure out how a circuit was designed to operate so you can fix it. All good fun!

[EEVblog]

You can add those two additional max-width: 100%; lines of code into
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Themes/default/css/index.css

Done!

[Shock]

Looks like it works to me

Looks a lot better!

+1  Looks Great.  No more scrolling!!!!

[fpliuzzi]

Nice, plus an image can alternately be opened in a new browser tab if it needs be seen in its full, humongous glory to study any small details. Win-win.

Thanks

[M. András]

fantastic. now no more problems if someone uploads a high res photo shot with a phone, you wont see the shitty image quality as much

[Terabyte2007]

Over the weekend, I put some of the final touches on my new lab. I am about 98% complete with the new improved lab. Here are some new pictures.

[robrenz]

Very nice!
