My wife and I have a bedroom. It's where I keep my metrology stuff(resistor standards, kelvin varley dividers, null volt meters, dc calibrators etc...) since it's temperature controlled better than the rest of the house. Soon I'll need her to empty the closet out to install some proper equipment racks.
You all guys posting pictures of your fancy labs and I haven't post anything new for a while.
So here we come, left top corner my old lab with Korad variable power supply, cheapo Hakko clone soldering station and couple of DMM's ...humble beginnings in 2016 before we moved to our current house.
Then 4 years of non-voluntary break from all pleasures until the house was rebuild and extended (that's why a change of scenery).
I've started building my current lab early this year in Jan 2020 (about 9 months ago) and this is my current setup:
On the left side my electronics lab, right old computer/gaming lab. Also this room serves purpose of music room (acoustic treatment yet to be done).
I've only just started and many more equipment is yet to be purchased. We are still working on the house and that's really parting me from money this lab needs so desperately
Just reorganized my one-desk lab to make room for my arms and space for new acquisitions. Freed up lots of space by retiring the large monitor (sigh) and adding a rear shelf and adding an ad-hoc sideboard. also found a better position for the microscope arm.

Beautiful and especially the space
, I don't have it
Nicely compared, I praise the lifting table, that fits. This soldering fume extraction is also great.

Speaking of fume extractor, is fume extractor on your bench off the shelf or DIY solution?
The smoke extractor is a Quick 6101A1. I decided to play it safe because home office and young kids.
I found this video helpful for making the cost/noise tradeoff:

Yes, it's my production, two-turbine design, continuous power control, LED lighting directly in the nozzle, filtered activated carbon, movable on a rail, when not needed disappears to the left.
Edit:Somewhere there are photos from the construction, a chapter on fume extractor.

Excellent selection, informative video
My workbench today after cleaning session.

Very clean. I like it. I clean my work spaces every day, to varying degrees. Haha. At least once a week a full cleaning and dusting.

Very well organized.
What’s the box with the blue top and two bulbs?
Guessing a variac, output V-I measurement plus two bulbs for simple current limiting

Cool
I’ve seen variacs and bulb current limiters but never the two combined.
Thank you all.
Yes, it is isolation transformer and variac with meters and bulb current limiter.
My workspace is never that clean, even after few hour long cleaning sessions. Just too much STUFF around that I have to have....
I got a new fume extraction system for my workbench yesterday and it works great!
Depends on how far you turn the dial, everything from whisper quiet to jet engine.
and if you turn the dial until it absorbs the fumes correctly at ~10cm of the iron ?

It's a reasonable volume to work with, not silent tho.
Hi There,
Most of the equipment in my home lab I purchased damaged and then repaired myself such as curve tracers, bench power supplies, custom design high voltage power supply and loads of other things, however the Rigol scope, Rigol multimeter and Rigol power supply, LCR meter and Fluke multimeter I purchased brand new. 3D printer I designed and built myself. 3D printer is in Grabcad for download
