Show us your hobby workbench

[ThermalRunaway]

Are you an electronics hobbyist? Do you design/build your own projects in your spare time? Do you have your own little workbench?

If so, show us your workbench!

I've converted my garage into a little workshop. It's nothing special, I've left the garage standard (so that it's easily converted back if I move) and just setup a few work surfaces there. I've also put in an isolated mains supply in addition to raw mains.

Take a look.

I still don't have satifactional place where I can build my stuff, sometimes I work in my Mom's kitchen, sometimes elsewhere Grr. And my room is so small...

I used to have that problem when living at home. I used to dangle a 4-way extension block into the dining room and build some stuff there. I used to hate that. My parent's hated it too, especially the time I dropped my soldering iron and burnt the carpet.

When I looked at this house I've got now (it's my 1st house) the thing I REALLY loved about it was that the garage was built on to the house, so I can walk from my hallway into the garage. What a greak workshop that'd make, I thought, and promptly bought the house hehe

Your multimeter looks prety much the same as myne.i have an Velman DVM890

 

[ThermalRunaway]

It's quite a cheap meter, but it does everything I need. If I was going to spend decent money on a meter, I'd get one of those ones that double-up as a portable scope.

My pride and joy is my Tektronix DSO, I use that a lot. I've also got a logic-analyser which is out of shot.

Here's my humble bench, i got one whole side of our 4 car garage dedicated to me :lol:

EDIT: look at my scope, i took the shot just as the beam was starting :lol:

 

[ThermalRunaway]

4 car garage? Your garage is probably bigger than the footprint of my entire house!

My best offering

Well, JimB's set-up has got to take some beating :shock:

I don't have a permanent bench, I set up the gear I need at the time I want it and get made to pack it all away when the room is required for visitors
NOTE that my gear is cheap but more than good enough for what I do
(15MHz oscilloscope taking pride of place -- lots of OLD Thandar gear).

 

[Jay.slovak]

mechie, wow. You have more equipment then some firms and schools have :lol:
I wish I had such things... (Osciloscope, Generator...) I am broke.

 

[Someone Electro]

Yea equipment on equipment.

I only have an multimeter
