That is an obscene amount of multimeters!
I love it.


I have kind of a multimeter fetish! There are about 12 more that are not in the image...  :-DMM

I have four 19" rack mount cabinets that are on casters. Some have fans built into the top and some have doors.
They were in computer rooms and are in excellent shape. They originally held power supplies.
I've going to sell them, but the eevblog has been very helpful to me and I would like to give something back.
PM me and I will send some photos.
I live in Mansfield Texas. So I am not sure if they would be worth shipping. 
If someone wants one and lives near, you can come by and have one.

I was procrastinating out in the shop today, and decided to take a pic mid project.

An Eico 324. You don't see those every day. In fact, it has been some years since I last saw mine. It seems to be hiding someplace.

Nice work area you have.

I have a shelf under the workbench for holding less-frequently used equipment, but I kept banging my my shin on it (ouch!).

So, I got a piece of pipe insulation, and attached it to the edge of the wood shelf. It works great as an inexpensive bumper.

Good idea and it should make barking your shins on the shelf much less painful.   :-+

I need to do that to the shelf OVER the eBay packing table at the radio museum I belong to - it's right at temple level, and I've nearly brained myself several times.  Thanks for the idea - I'll throw a piece of pipe insulation in the car to have it this coming weekend.

If it jams, force it.  If it breaks, you needed a new one anyway...

Gurrr.  These chest of drawers look tempting at $40USD each - but even with MDF wood on them still flimsy.

I'm no longer buying IKEA crap. It is always a waste of money.

Not so fast....the RĂ–LLEKA - Memory foam pillow is the best pillow I've ever used.  Not to mention storage units things, and a dozen others.  Check http://www.ikeahackers.net/  - it's kinda awesome!

Your lab is so tidy. Even your breadboard is tidier than mine has ever been.

Funny you mention that.  Owner of the small company I worked for was interviewed for a local newspaper and they were taking his picture.  So I got to stack everything we could find that had blinkin lights on the bench to make an interesting background for the picture.

The trick is wood glue. 

Don't rely on the ikea dowel and twist connectors, buy a $5 bottle of woodglue, and glue every corner as well.  Glue the dowels, glue the seam, glue the back panels.  You'll be amazed how much stronger it is, and how much longer it lasts.  Applies to anywhere there's a wood-wood connections.
