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

[killernat]

im quite jealous of most of these benches im very slowly building my equipment but im a student and well food is a bit more importent than an oscilloscope or function gen atm

[RickieSalad]

Rigol 1052E, Extech EX330, Mastech 3005F, Hakko FX-888, and other fun stuff.

[Ed.Kloonk]

Haven't seen that white board with the holes in it for a loooong time.

Here is my little home lab!

Looks a bit cramped, but you're set up looks very functional.  I assume that's why you have the wireless keyboard is for space.

My lab is reasonably well equipped for hobby use but i am just missing a function gen.
I'd like to get into RF and get some gear for it, but they usually are too expensive.

[Sander]

It's not that big, but it will do. Next upgrade would probably be a Agilent E3612A with multimeter and/or a memory and serial-decode upgrade for my scope.

Mine is in a constant state of change and it gets cleaned twice a year. It's been over six months so here's the latest set-up.

Now that you have that Power Designs PS it is a real lab

[PA4TIM]

Steve, i love your collection of measurement gear ( and your website) I have two analog multimeters I still use, an Unigor 4P because the 50 uA scale and a Simpson 260 is sitting in my living room to test batteries or when I need to check something and are to lazy to go to the lab. Mine has a very nice leather case but I noticed you had a very nice transistortest adapter for it. Real cool. I have 5 transistortesters but never seen such an adapter. My olders transistor tester is a 1955 Philips ( Philips started making transistors at the end of 1954). The cutest a made for radio shack one that uses the DUT to form an oscillator and that makes a neonlight glow.

Now that you have that Power Designs PS it is a real lab

You can never have too many power supplies. 


I actually like the Power Designs better than my HP but the HP is higher current.

PA4TIM - I thought that adapter for the Simpson was interesting when I found it.  Listed with it is a booklet showing a number of different adapters they made for the Simpson 260.  I used a Hickok transistor tester for a long time.  Still have it and use it occasionally when I have a bunch to test.  It runs on a 9 volt battery though and I really should put a power jack in it as I don't leave batteries in equipment that sits on the shelf for long periods. 
FYI: Duracells consistently leak.  Don't use them.  I've had much better luck with Energizers.

Well here's a few pics of my man cave.
There's a bit of everything hiding out in there.

Cheers,
Phil

Love your style Phil! Every man cave needs an overhead crane

Bridgeport, lathe, CNC mill, helicopter...... Life is good

[M. András]

i would gladly house in our garage a 5 axis cnc but the damn things are soo expensive....

[reagle]

Here is my lab bench down in the basement (probably the nicest spot in the house ) .
Just cleaned it up, so a good time to take picture. Left to right:
Electronic load  (TekPower 3711) on top of BK 1698 power supply, then Fluke 8840A and 8842A DMMs, HP 54645D MSO, Rigol DG1022 and finally tenma 72-3085 linear power supply. Oh, and all lighting is LED-based.
Only problem is, I am under a heating duct so space to grow up is limited.

It took me some time but I looked at all your workplaces. Very impressive, got a few awesome inspirations. Thank you all for sharing!

This is where I do my projects. It is small but its mine and I love it!

Power on almost everything is switchable from the PC as well (via a custom build usb relay-board). The supply and the Agilent are LAN-networked, as is the Printer-Scanner combination under the table. I have a food pedal for the vacuum pickup and a few cap-touch pedals on the floor to control my music and video playback for entertainment. Don't know what else to say.

Nice and organized. I'm wondering what exactly you did to that hot air station to modify it to accommodate vacuum pick-up.

[Telequipment]

Well mines not a lab I'm not a scientist, but here's my Radio Amateur work space

[Christe4nM]

"I'll buy you a beer if you know where this is from"

Off topic: I take that challenge. It's from the cinema for students at TU München. http://www.tu-film.vo.tu-muenchen.de/pages/view/der-tu-film.
So I guess you'll take an ICE to Arnhem (NL) for that beer? (But yes, I'm friends with Google, so have one on me and we're even  )

[Kremmen]

OK, mine.
This is the "lab" inside the house. Additionally, there is the workshop adjoining the garage in a separate building. A bit of a mess right now, so pictures maybe later...

[croberts]

I posted this at the topic about keeping the workbench neat and clean. Thought it might apply here also.

When I was doing the installation of my LED lighting system I bought a Metaltech Baker Scaffold so I could work comfortably when doing work along the ceiling. When I'm not using the scaffold for that work I use it as a test bench. I plan to eventually have shelves supported by the end rails. The scaffold has four locking wheels so the test bench can be stationary or rolled to the work. There is a handhold in the scaffold floor (bench work surface) for removing the floor to change the heighth and I find that opening to be handy for quickly gathering up small parts on the benchtop. I just hold a drawer from the storage area under the opening and with a sweep of the hand the parts are in the drawer. I have attached some photos and as you can see I don't have much equipment (yet).

I'm wondering what exactly you did to that hot air station to modify it to accommodate vacuum pick-up.

I tapped the internal power supply to switch an electronic valve I bought from ebay. That valve opens and closes the fume extractor line. When I use it as vacuum pick-up I connect the fume extractor line to the original hand actuated vacuum pick-up that came with the unit.

Well done if you PM me your address I'll send you a very fine Bavarian beer via Mail (no kidding). Might get to you stale though  Or you send me a message if you happen to be in Innsbruck, Munich or Vienna.
