Noticed here.
Have a lot of fun,

Hi Mounty,
I'm having a lot of fun at the camp...
Not much but hell of a lot of fun!
In the middle of some measurement messy desk.
The waveform on your scope somewhat reminds me of Florida
So I have moved into my first house & finaly finnished setting up the workshop part of my workshop in the second bedroom. Also where my vintage computer collection is on display ;-)
The stuff under the bench [desk] is waiting to be repaired or projects I have worked on or am working on. The cupboard is the main random crap storage.
The otherside of the room is still being worked on but is basicly where my gaming PC lives & storage for computer stuff.
Nice vintage microcomputer collection!
@TheEPROM9 I like how you found a way to keep all the soldering/desoldering equipment out of the way.
A system that could hide all the power supplies and pumps away, and only expose the control panels in a tiny area, would be ideal.
While she's away at the outlaw's, I repurposed the walk in wardrobe. She'll be right.

Nice! HowardLong is that two of the Rigol electronic loads I see?
Do those introduce much noise into the system? I have two Array units, one introduces so much noise I can almost hear it in the power supply. I was debating a Rigol vs. TTi load.

Not a dig at the spelling but I seriously question this statement. Who is ever finally finished with setting up their shop
I moved to a new home 4 months ago, and finally have time to finish the setup and get a few pictures of it. It's still a work in progress.
Out of 1850 sqft of empty concrete basement, I have utilised a 25 foot stretch of wall just for the electronics benches.
Here's a somewhat distorted wide angle picture, and more details in the video.
Very nice way more room than I have.
That's super cool. I wish I had a basement, let alone that much basement.

There is still titervation stuff to do & more stuff to hook up to power, but the bulk is done. I also need more vintage test grear with Nixietubes. Its a bit hard o see in the picture but the frequency counter uses Nixies & the volt meter is panplex.
Hi there, I'm new here and this is my "lab". Variable power supply, soldering station and couple of DMM's ... humble beginnings
Picture was taken in 2016 before we moved to our current house, 4 years break from everything till the house was rebuild and extended.
Humble beginnings maybe but there’s more going on in your picture than most of the benches posted in here

Yep - and a great view too!
IKEA makes the perfect workbench! IKEA FREDDE, gaming desk apparently... just bought it used last night, not fully setup yet... room for some wire spools and more organization, but I love the outside shelves!
Is the deck wood or plastic?

Do not worry, it will come to you. My lab was nothing more then an CRT TV packaging box with a piece of plywood on it. Today i have a 30 m^2 space in the basement and a 6m^2 storage closet, with a big workbench which accomodates quite a few old school HP gear.

The frame is metal, the main surface and shelves are typical IKEA beaver-puke, although the surface seems quite durable, perhaps some form of ABS coating. It would only be a hair-width think or two.
The surface is almost certainly
melamine, a thermosetting plastic. Depending on the exact resin and substrate, it can be quite heat-tolerant, and is usually fire-retardant. I absolutely hate it, because I'm paranoid about formaldehyde (low-intensity long-term exposure as a child from particle board walls, now very sensitive to it).
Beaver puke is the most descriptive term for particle board I've ever heard.
Do note that some lightweight Ikea stuff doesn't even have particle board in them, just a cardboard lattice; mostly, they're just air inside. Not tabletops, though, but doors and small and lightweight but thick shelves and such.

Definitely some tabletops too.
