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

This is mine so far::

Do you use velcro, glue, or magnets to get stuff stuck to a wall like that?

He may be using centrifugal force. It difficult to tell from the photo whether his lab is spinning around really fast or not.

Or he may just have posted the picture wrong, but that's highly unlikely.

And an update , my current bench after some new purchases, gifts and finds came in this year.

[KrudyZ]

You could fit more in if you got some triangular test equipment...

[Kjelt]

It will fit but I can not operate it anymore 

[Falkra]

Very nice equipment ! Thanks for sharing the picture.

Very nice, I note the word 'part' - wow!
You can't be a time nut - all that mass will distort the time/space continuum! 😁

HOLY SMOKES!! That is what you call a collection!

Impressive.

I have far too many and getting to old to work on them anymore. Here are a couple more pictures.

GEEZ!! You could give everyone on the forum 2 each and you'd still have TOO many!

You can say that again. Linked to the TEA thread to share with additional scope/Tek fans.

Here's a panorama of may lab in January 2020. I rearranged a few things since my last post on this thread.
The latest addition was a Fluke 8502A 61/2 digit multimeter and the top scope of the two Siemens scopes that sit on it.
I hope the Fluke can take the weight.

On the right is the "tower of power", all my power supplies in easy reach. Below the PSU's are my SMD component drawers. As I've switched to mainly using surface mount this is a very convenient place for them.
The left hand side is now taken over by new bigger component drawers that were surplus at work.
It's a much neater solution than the hodge podge of drawers I used to have. If you're German you may know where these came from .

At the moment I'm thinking of building a new workbench, I'm thinking of an integrated solution that can easily (well, that's relative) be moved to another place/flat/house. With integrated solution I mean not to rely on shelves on the wall, rather have the bench and shelves in one stand alone piece of furniture. That's a project for the summer holidays, maybe.

Moved recently, my new man cave,

[med6753]

Nice!

Being as lazy as I am, and not wanting to constantly walk over to the Pomona lead racks on the wall to get another test lead, I decided to make a rotating lead rack that stands beside my work area. I used an old floor lamp for the base and mounted a bearing to the top so the rack rotates effortlessly. I used a surplus 18" vinyl floor tile for the top and milled various slots for the leads. Total cost $0.00 + time. The last image shows the bearing.

That's super cool. I unfortunately could never do that due to two little four legged monsters that supervise me in the lab (also known as cats).

Jester, very nice setup!  Before we moved to our present house my basement space had a lot of point source halogen lights much like yours.  I found I was always working in my own shadow - but then I didn't have as much task lighting as you do.  Do you find that too?

Oh boy! Lots of nice workbenches!!! I am nowhere near any of these. Unlike those days about 20+ years back, I don't do so much of repairs. Ever since I left SL to Fiji to work in a plywood mill as the EE, I had to scale back my work. Now, i just fix stuff for friends. There is so much of parts that I have collected over the years and after retiring for good, trying to sort them so someone can use them some day. So, my work area is limited to a corner in our so called "office room" where everything else happens other than sleeping! On the left is my 465M scope which I am in the process of repairing.

Thanks for looking!

Jester, so much space is an utopia here in Europe. Enjoy your cave.

I particularly like that little project on the table (left side of pic).
I have been building a layout also.  Just started the bench work and
designing a custom computer interface with wireless throttles.

[andy3055]

Thanks for the comments Mark. You mean the Right side. Yes it is an N scale one of those ready made High Sierra layouts. Of course it came bare bones with just the paint-they have a real bare bones version also. Anyway, I plan on selling it off as N scale is too small for my liking now. I did all the additions myself after I bought it off a disabled gentleman up in Davis. At one point I thought I will embed it in a larger layout but gave up the idea. You seem to be doing a very adventurous layout there!

I have been collecting HO scale Hornby sets since I was about 30 years. That was the only time I could buy them on my own! To get those in a suitable area, it will take half the garage! so, now I am procrastinating while regularly travelling to San Diego to baby sit our 4 year old grand daughter when our daughter travels regularly! Life of grand parents will be the title of my book if I ever write one! But it is fun looking after her.
