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

Finally cleaned my lab up...still seems like its full of junk and I'm running out of room...

[8086]

Got around to replacing my desks and gave the room an overhaul. Still working on getting a nice collection of test equipment.

Nice, what's a workbench without... art

What desk? did I miss it?

All I can manage to see is a naked woman with a Dark Side of the Moon Album logo on her back.

"Wish You Were Here" looks pretty good to me...  "The Wall" ain't bad either.

Anyway, no art on this one yet but I am inspired now.
The inspection microscope took up too much room on the bench so I decided to set up a soldering station just for SMD and board work. 



Kind of nice not having the usual bench clutter around when working on the small stuff.

That's a nice setup you got there!

You could always get your own copy - it's a fairly famous image designed by Hipgnosis, who also created quite a few of the actual album covers.



The albums being modelled by those ladies are (left to right):

 'Atom Heart Mother', 'Relics', 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', 'The Wall' and 'Animals'.

I mean would the ESD mat also make the config go "poof" , or is the conductive ability of an ESD mat not enough to worry about  ?

It probably depends on what type of mat. I think some are a lot more conductive than others. I have the blue top/black bottom type similar to what Dave uses (see EEVblog #250). I can not measure any conductivity at all on the top side, but the black layer on the bottom is about 6000 ohms per 0.1 inch.

I have the same Ikea JANSJÖ flexible led work lamp as you have on the left.
Very nice and cheap series of LED spotlights: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/18294/

I finally got my office/workshop/ham shack organized enough to take some pics.  The first is my desk where I do my job, the 2nd is my writing area.  Sorry, no naked women in a painting, just a part of my die cast car collection.  The 3rd is my ham radio desk.  There is only 1 radio on it now, the other is out for repair(way beyond my ability to fix.  I know my limits) and the rest are pics of my new workbench I just built.  A poor man's basic lab for sure, but it suites me and my budget right now.  The last pic is my office manager and constant companion, Molly.  She is a 2 year old German Shepard/Australian Shepard mix.  I hope you enjoy the pics

She's beautiful. I miss my German Shepherd. And if I know anything about shepherd dogs, she really is your office manager!

Cats and dogs in the workshops... when will we see Dave posting a pic of a kangaroo in his workshop? 

[c4757p]

Having had both cats and dogs, I strongly suspect that cats and dangling, swinging test cables do not mix well. I have on at least one occasion had to yell at a rather bored beagle to stop chewing on the !@$#@# table!!!, but she was younger then...

I don't even want to guess what a kangaroo would do to a workshop. Probably shit in it...

Just throw her a BeagleBone

Then you can eat a Raspberry Pi yourself...

Ah the girl on the left. So that's what Dave talks about when he talks about the cows coming home...

[GreyWoolfe]

c4757p, thanks for the comments.  She is a beautiful dog and the office manager .  As the saying goes, she really is my best friend.  Since I work from home, she has a blanket out here in addition to the one under the bay window in the living room and she constantly goes back and forth between the 2.  My wife works at a doctor's office and they are converting to electronic medical records so she is working long hours right now, so I spend more time with Molly than I do with my wife .  She has a great personality and loves the family but is VERY protective of us and she doesn't do strangers well.  She is a 45 pound dog with 110 pounds of attitude!.

I've learned not to let my cat/s anywhere near my lab.

Previous pair of cats I had would toss the place in a matter of minutes, and they'd definitely chew on wires (couldn't lock them out). Current one likes to get right in the middle of things (i.e. sit or lay on top of whatever I'm working on) to get my attention.
