After one and half month I almost managed to put everything electronics related on my electronics bench part.

Had to print some holders here and there, also made a mains power analyzer (under the oscilloscope left) got myself a nixie counter, I like to have everything in front of me.


The problem with having everything on your workbench is that you have no room left to work.
I see you like GMC DMM's, I have a couple for sale if you have empty corners to fill.

@shakalnokturn, I have plenty of room on the bench to work on, it is deep. If I need more space I just remove the keyboard, it is wireless.

I worked on the nixie counter a month ago and space was enough.

Nope, I don't need more Multimeters  ::)

One of my friends sold me a rack bin thingy, and I'm so excited to get some parts out of boxes on the shelf. I love using #5 coin envelops for small parts, then I can just write description/notes on them with a pencil. The bigger stuff I keep in 15-qt Hefty bins on a shelf.

It’s always changing.  But one things gonna stay the same - a separate bench for soldering/assembly etc.  idk how people work on stuff with a 12x12” workspace surrounded by junk lol.

Ha!  Too funny.  Youtube recommended the video of your lab tour a few days ago.
When I saw the picture here, my brain was like "wait a minute.. why do I recognize this lab?"

Different "gauge" of stuff on the bench this weekend!

Hey look, I did some wood work!  I cut an MDF board in half!  That is about as much wood work as I have done in the past 10 years.

Moved to a new location. After nearly 2 months part time work my new lab is complete.

Yes, other people work in really small workplaces, I originally made a small workshop in a bedroom 🤔 but after a few years it looks more like a bedroom in a workshop 😂 Beautiful workplace, I really envy you that Panasonic audio analyzer 😉

So I thought I already had my workplace filled to the max, but since I'm mister Tetris, I'm presenting proof that it's not so 😂 I needed to add a few newly made, a few repaired pieces and I still need to place a few currently being made and a few waiting to be repaired, e.g. HP RMS voltmeter 3400, VoltOhm meter and counter with nixie or buy an audioanalyzer
Added AT680 - LC / IR meter - bought, quadruple independent voltmeter - made by me, audio load 300W 2/4/8/16 Ohm (also made special compensated cables for connecting to the oscilloscope, when the output is switched to 1:10, the range on the oscilloscope is also switched automatically) - made by me, programmable counter - made by me, programmable VU meter with real dB display - bought, Tektronix oscilloscope 2465 4x300MHz - a gift from my son - a replacement for a stolen one. Under the workplace short-circuit protection module is a blank panel into which the connectors for the rear outputs of the device, central power supply 12V 2.5A for small measuring devices and fixtures will be fitted - made by me.
The biggest problem was finding a place for the oscilloscope, the printer moved out and I made an extendable and rotating structure in its place - under normal circumstances, the oscilloscope is on the side of the workplace, if necessary, it can be extended and turned so that it gets into the space between the monitor and the keyboard. There is a neon tube behind the monitor which illuminates the control panel of the oscilloscope during night work, the power of the tube is 4W. I haven't modified the cables yet, it will be disassembled and modified

Beautiful, if I'm not mistaken, the middle oscilloscope in front of the window is a two-channel Sony/Tektronix - I once wanted to buy it as a monitor for a curve tracer, in the end it was the size that decided - it didn't fit, so I have a Tek 212 there.

Nice day 🙂 Tom

Correct. It is a Sony/Tek 314.

My "lab" lives in a drawer.
For me, only the cheapest stuff is good enough. ;D

Nevertheless, there is a lot to learn even with this cheap stuff.
Sometimes almost too much (NanoVNA, TinySA, Logic Analyzer/PulseView, Oscilloscope, Component Tester...).

A few years ago, almost all of this would not have existed in this size and at this price.

I love the portability of this; you could pack it into a briefcase, or small suitcase, and have a portable lab.

If it's enough, it's beautiful 👍, but I couldn't do without a really powerful source and loads, and that's somehow not possible in such a small design. Due to the lack of space, I miniaturized to the maximum possible 🤔, even though two things have been added since the last photo shoot 😂

After all, that was just the lab.
I have a second drawer, the workshop is in there!  :-DD

Could someone please comment on color temperature for the workshop? What is your best experience for the overhead lights (e.g. soldering, etc.).
Thanks!
