borrowed my daughters camera, this is my desk where i do most of my electronics, and the other 2 piccies are in the utility room. I have loads of bits, but i tend to just grab a handful out and put them in the component drawers, when the drawer is empty, i'll refill it from the box.

thats about just over half of them. they little 3x3 boxes were 50p each, from a shop that sells sewing stuff (haberdashery sp?) as long as i dont store static sensitive stuff in there i should be fine

I spy a HPS10 and a potential digital car dashboard.

Those big drawers look like the ones from Maplin - I got one of those as well as a load from Aldi when they had them on offer.

yup, thet are aldi or lidl, cant remember which but a bargain anyways, HPS 10 till i can afford a real scope and what was a fully working car dash (but i have since borrowed bits for other project) here is its predecessor, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJn_JA4jW2w it was a year ago, and i have done many revisions between that one and this one. I have had one of my digi dash's in my car since this clip was taken, and never had a problem.

I have a mere 15 drawer unit which allows for minimal organisation. I also have a big box of parts in sealed bags. A cheap old scope and multimeters live on the floor. Soldering is done in the garage. I actually could have got some big storage units (60 drawers?) from work absolutely free but simply didn't have space to put them

. I'm building 3 power amplifiers so I have 6 big heatsinks in here too at the moment and metal plates in the garage. I also have spreaker drivers, just mid and tweeter for now since the bass units will make things a little too cramped.
