I think I need a bit of a tidy up ...
Looks fine to me.
Maybe just move the keyboard onto its drawer and you'll be fine.
Finally working on an upgrade...
Lots of lab pics recently, lets go with an update of mine, I'm a stacker
I like your celluloid stacking equalizers.

I like the way that HP machine got its place on the RHS extension... Neck ache? Work lying down?

Well, that is a HP3588 and it should be in the storage area with other equipment and not there, cause I got it just for spares of the HP3589 network analyzer at the left side. However I didn’t know what to put in that spot, all the equipments in that pic are connected to the mains except for that one.

I like the way you think, keep up the good work.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step...
I started with a free hazard fraught multimeter, a 2 dollar 8010A and a 5 dollar 8000A, which still works i think the batteries have taken a shit though.
The reason the 8010A was 2 bucks is quite the amusing story. It was an auction and on the bench was something taken apart, someone bought that before i got a good look at it. Sitting there next to it, the 8010A with a gigantic tag on top "BROKEN" and leads running into the DUT. It really does pay to be one of the smartest guys in the room.

Those hazard fraught multimeters are a gateway drug for the youngsters I swear!!!
Yes indeed. Then you pop your first Fluke and it's all over

Until you realize that Fluke is the simplified version of a multimeter, other brands can do a lot more (and cost less).
I have a couple of Fluke meters, they are very
easy to use, but lacks the more advanced functions (289 is a bit outside this), my Keysight meters can do a lot more, but often requires the manual to use.
I will not say one is better than the other without knowing the guy that is going to use the meter.
Yes I agree which is why I own a Keysight meter too (U1241C)
Orange > Yellow as well.
Uni-T is red and red > orange > yellow, but I think there might be a catch?

The number of functions isn't everything. I have both an 87V and a U1272A and while the latter has a few neat tricks, the 87V is much quicker. While the feature set of the Fluke is much more sparse, the features present seem to be both refined and well chosen.
The U1272A is a nice meter too, but I tend to go for the 87V for the regular poking and prodding.
The rifles are not for troubleshooting, they're obviously for percussive maintenance.
Well, most of us use remote access methods these days. Saves having to walk over with a hammer.
I guess it's a TEA approved behaviour, buy equipment and then more equipment as spares. When I think that I started with just a rigol ds1052
Where's my approval stamp?
100% TEA APPROVED
There ya go!
I think I'm definitely out of usable space now - at least on this side of the 'shop. I don't much like the idea of splitting the work bench into two areas (like the opposite side) but I guess I don't have much option.

I used to have a milling machine in my bedroom, in an apartment no less, but even then I would have my electronics stuff on the other side of the room.
Swarf, or chips depending on your side of the pond, in the bed is one thing, but having them fly inside my test equipment crosses a line for me.
Wow, ChrisLX200, that is compact.
The delineation of mechanical and electronics work-spaces is always a quandary, ideally in a new workshop (if I ever get one) it will be a two room affair, clean and dirty, to separate the swarf from the things that let smoke out.
My bench...in need of some cleanup.

Chips don't fly that far (fortunately), and I don't use a fly-cutter anymore which used to be the most messy procedure, instead I use face cutters which don't throw chips any distance. The area behind me (in the photo) has an old mill/drill which I don't use now but I was reserving that space for a small CNC mill to replace it. Those are way more problematic producing losts of fine dust so some thought needed how to deal with that.

What's that type of big scope above the curtain rod?
