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

I suspect it's a normal, proper workplace that has had a whole lot of junk thrown in for the sale of a photo. Notice the organised way the cameras are hanging.

(but actually this is the left side of Dave's lab from the prospective of the live cam, this is why he is looking for another place  )

I lived many years with a real "Messy". This is not only possible, but typical. It's not staged, I had to live in a house that looked like this until I couldn't stand it any more. I am a very tidy person myself.

What happened next? Stopped working or went to a bigger house?

I believe Jim had a place for his feet.  This is why it looks staged to me, it is the where you would place your feet that makes it look fake to me, ie no place for the feet.

On the contrary, the stuff below the desk is easily adjusted to a comfortable height upon which to rest the feet.

To survive and work in there, a see some bottles which I assume there are pills. Under the floating mouse.

I suppose at least it looks like some electronics-related stuff happens amongst the mess. As opposed to the almost entirely bloody metalwork I've spent the last month on, in the name of 'spring cleaning.'

Finished at last. But it's not as if I'll be able to get back to what I was doing before all that began, since a few other urgent tasks got pushed on the stack in the meantime.

I never get used to people saying spring time has come in October...

I wish I was your neighbor.

To my dismay I couldn't find and studs in decent places on the wall for double slot shelving like I'd planned, so I decided to make a "standing bench" using various IKEA components.





Pretty happy with it so far, although it's only been a couple of days. Might need a few extra lights on the bench, I naively thought the LED strips would have a better spreading angle.

I dismantled my lab in the closet last week, but I took one last picture to remember it by.

Another bumper crop of really fine benches...
Looks like Martian is not lacking a good scope.

Those last two pictures bring back memories. When I was a kid my father build me such a 'closet lab' in a small room in the attic. I couldn't even stand up straight in it!

[FireFlower]

Mine is still under progress, looking for good bargains to buy used equipment or get it free from university when they are throwing away stuff like that nice AiO computer where I tried to install XP but support ended and downloading all updates manually is pain in the ass so I will upgrade it to Windows 7 with more RAM and bigger HDD.



I will do a tear down for that Samsung AiO computer when I get my so-dimm memory module from post office but workers are on strike   

I am going to remove those empty whiskey bottles and make a shelf on top of the bench and add most of the test equipment on those, going to make it strong enough so I  can mount a stereo microscope on it and lift it out of the way and install some nice general lighting under those shelves (led strips).

If you have suggestions how to make it nice and good please share ideas, should I make the shelves from wood or metal or mix both?

Nor heat in the wintertime, I'd imagine...

I just put another Ikea Omar metal shelving system together to get more out of my floor space. Also for some reasone my floor gets more and more cluttered with cartboard boxes.

Any idea how thick those legs are? Might fall straight into the holes. Would make easy job to add shelves. Hole distance across the table is 101cm so would still have to mod that omar system a bit.

My first shop was my walk-in closet.  My father found me a table that fit in it to use as a workbench and my mom got me a free standing closet to move my clothes out.  The next house we moved to they gave me the biggest bedroom because it had a huge walk-in closet with built in shelves.  My sister was pissed.

My sister was also pissed because (according to her) I made too much noise so I got a different room for tinkering.

@SLJ: The legs of the Omar shelving system are 25.5mm thick (outer diameter).

No DSO?

7603 under the bench gets the job done Mr. T.

[McBryce]

The DSO is under the bench - Difficult place to view it? But you smoke matches?

McBryce.

[purpose]

Mr. McBryce,
I roll my own and when the lighter fluid runs out, the matches save the day, but you can go through a box quickly.
That scope is so deep that it had to go under the bench and was a back breaker in both senses.
