Very nice! Funny, I was thinking of making  a panorama photo  of my lab too this weekend (I shoot a lot of photography in this format) . Another convert to Rigol oscilloscopes? I see you also have some nice older analog models..

The Rigol rules for low frequencies, and I like the fact that I can leave it on and not worry about CRT wear. Easy connectivity for remote screen shots, pre-trigger memory, digital filter, and built-in crude, but usable measurements and FFT make it a fantastic tool and value. The fan noise and combined vertical controls for the two channels are annoying so you just know that some day it will be gone, but the analog scopes are keepers. The trigger in the Tek 2467 is amazing--I can get a stable display on a 1GHz signal with no effort.

She who must be obate does not enter my lab. She stops at the doorpost because she does not want iron particles or pieces of wire in her sock or feet. Downsite is, I must clean it self.

In the radio Ham world where I'm totally happy most of the really quality equipment comes from Germany, quality is second to none,and lasts forever, I have a old German receiver solid piece of equipment.

Just found this forum and this discussion.  Some great workbenches here. 
I started out with my first workbench in a walk-in closet when I still lived at home with my parents around 45 years ago.  I still have my first meter (Simpson 260) from back then. Here's my current electronics bench set-up (top photo).  It's been evolving more over the last 20 years or so.
I do all the woodworking and metalworking out in a septate shop (bottom) as the sawdust would really be a problem.

Hey! First post!

Just found EEV blog this weekend and WOW.. thanks for getting me going again! Wish this had been around when I was slogging through uni!!

Well this is my workshop and "mobile workshop/tool kit"..
I work in a very large events company repairing and maintaining anything that can be related.. from LED Screens, to robotic lighting, to control systems, to large 7KW search lights to broadcast TV equipment (also head engineer of an OB truck).   etc etc etc..

I have a really nice, big workshop with lots of room and all for me! Its just lacking in a few simple things but I make do with what I have... and my degree wasnt exactly a good one and I really wasnt "into it" at the time so most of my repair work is educated guessing..
BUT this blog/youtube channel is really making me sit up and want to get using all that endless maths I did at uni!!

This is my lab. I'm currently living in a very small apartment, so that's a massive amount of my space right there. The electronics used to occupy a lot less space when I first moved in, but it's been slowly expading over the years...

Hopefully I'll be moving into a larger apartment/house within a year, so I can get some more space.

The HP 1631D Logic Analyzer, HP 54201D scope, the Iwatsu SS-7611 scope, PACE desoldering iron and the extra monitor are stuff my university was throwing away, so I saved them. The rest is stuff I've been buying over last couple of years.

You and Dave are making me jealous - never had that luck dumpster diving here. :( If your university is always like that - please consider opening a small EEVBlog shop with all those gems.

I am a messy one, oh well...

You and me both; my 'bench' is currently split between the desk in the study, where stuff gets built, and the living room floor where stuff gets fiddled with (because the logic analyser and scope don't really fit on the desk...)  I am thinking about sorting out a proper workbench in the garage, once I tidy it out a bit!
Hey, i noticed you have a LEADER scope, by any chance is it a 8040 too? I have one that looks exactly the same as your one?

Mine's actually branded Kenwood, as it happens -- it wasn't until I saw your photo recently that I realised it was almost certainly built for them by someone else!  I think mine is a model below yours; it looks absolutely identical, but it's a 20MHz or 25MHz machine (I forget exactly, but the model number is CS-4025)

Awesome. Mine's a 40megger and yours is a 25megger. The lovely thing about these scopes is that it goes down to 1mV/div.  ^-^

My Workstation. The workshop is too cold to go into right now. Love the -1 degree Celsius temperature in the midwest!

The minimalistic approach:

(the good thing when you don't live in US or Canada is that you don't have to up your bench ;) )
