Whats your Work-Bench/lab look like? Post some pictures of your Lab.

[Martin.M]

TiN you are in need of a Tek Type 200

this is the cart to roll the test client and some PSU  in front of the test wall 
higher numbers then 200 are scope carts and not useful.
There are always two ways:
* the testgear rolls to the client
* the client rolls to the test wall.

greetings

Built a 2 x 16U rackmount chassis for the lab - mahogany w/walnut inlays.  Initially fitted with drawers and placed near the bench.  As required, the drawers will be replaced with remotely-controlled test equipment.

Wow! That's a beauty.

My small work area in the basement of the apartment. There is another folding table behind the camera that my wife uses for fabric cutting and I use as a surface for disassembly. So far I've only taken over half of the storage shelf next to the table. Lighting isn't that great, but at least it is spacious.

The cooling box is your chair I assume? Well that idea is good as long as the beer stays cold!

As it's a basement, I get the washer & dryer.

But it's the toilet that makes it funny for me.  Certainly convenient if you really need to go.

Seriously though, nice setup. You really don't require tons of gear for a nice general purpose lab IME. Now once you get into voltnuttery realm OTOH for example, that's a totally different matter.

It's a Milwaukee toolbox technically - has some hammers and screw drivers stored in it. I think you may be on to something though... I might need to get a second "chair."

Yeah. That is the strangest part of the whole apartment. I've never used it - there is something a little strange about sitting there in a wide open concrete room with a bunch of little hopper windows - but I guess its good for emergencies.

Have a DMM check plus on order. After that, my next standard will probably be a GPSDO for playing around with my 5370B. Then maybe I'll move on to something more precise for voltage.

Oh crap. You're looking to start down the rabbit hole from hell. And unfortunately, it tends to be expensive as well.

So I suggest you seek addiction help similar to that of say a heroine addict before it's too late.

Are you in Pittsburgh, by chance?

By moving the table you can have a shit and a soldering session at the same time.

Careful with the solder blims

I am not, but that is an interesting bit of history. I suppose it could be useful in case of tornadoes here in the midwest.

[Mr. Scram]

At least your lab is prepared for shit literally going down. Few of us can claim that level of preparedness.

It seems to work for Gregory Kovacs (from Jim W's Art and Science of Analog Design and with apologies)

Back when I was at university studying Electrical Engineering we had a Professor who was very sociable, every weekend he would invite two or three of his students to tea at his home and his wife would bake a cake.

Well, it came to my turn. I sat there drinking his tea and eating the cake, then drinking more tea. Eventually a toilet break was needed. As I stood there I noticed that there were two rolls of toilet paper, one roll of soft and another one of the hard stuff like tracing paper that you used to see in public toilets.

The two rolls were a mystery that bugged me all afternoon and eventually my curiosity got the better of me so I asked the lady of the house about the arrangements. "Oh, that's easy" she replied, "The soft paper is for normal use and the hard paper is for William to write on if he gets a good idea whilst sitting there".

I was always told "don't hold your farts in because it'll just give you shitty ideas"....
                                                                                                                         I always thought that was just a "funny" but there may be some truth in it after all!

Who knows?

My current workshop is so agile you wouldn't believe.

I ran out of space for test equipment so I bought wire shelving from Costco..

A few maxed out credit cards and many hours on eBay should solve that -
