VK5RC,
I think you stole my bench!
The last photo is my small CNC lathe to drill PCB's and cut case fronts.

Holy crap, Rob - I had one of those wooden monkeys when I was a kid (my aunt brought it back for a trip at some point).  I have no idea if it's still floating around somewhere now 40 years later, but recognized the hooked hands and feet immediately when I saw it in the photo.

Both Robs,

It looks like you're already taking full advantage of the vertical dimension.

Good to see that I am not the only messy guy, 
Pat,  that monkey is a reproduction,  given to me by my sister (an architect)  the original is considered an art /design classic (from the sixties I think) .  My late father had one, which has been lost.

The only monkeys in my lab are a set of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" and me. And, of course, it's also the Year of the Monkey.

LOL - yeah, my whole house typically looks like stuff has exploded everywhere.

If the original of the monkey is a classic, then the one I had is most likely long gone, then.  And yeah, late sixties sounds like roughly the time frame she'd have gotten it in.

What wooden monkey? I didn't know I had one! Only kidding, it's the other Rob... but then there may be one or in the basement (my wife fondly calls it the Robsonian)

Of course Rob you'll know you can buy that stuff in OZ but others won't as they know it as Easy Start or similar but you have it as a famous Aussie brand called: Start you Bastard"

I started, here are my metal lathes, I recently built the tool shelf. (You can't see the bench, which is on par with the electronics lab!). I'm going to clean up the labs (Honestly!) and am building a new Ham Shack which will need at least one square foot on the desk to operate my key. It will be a challenge!

Wow, that is a SERIOUS metal workshop
 I haven't seen him on the blog for a while but Robrenz has some lovely metal working gear and has done some equally lovely work with it including a lovely set of kelvin leads, if you haven't seen it, it is worth a look.


My gear, but more importantly the operator, is not in the same league as you guys.

That was a very interesting video. I love machine shop tools.

Wow! Excellent! Great work, I love to see this kind of precision. One of my other hats is a clock and watch maker. Here's a balance staff for a 16 size pocket watch. And a wheel (gear) for a three story 100 year old tower clock.

[Robaroni]

I'm a reformed man! After seeing some of the nice labs here I've decided to clean the Robsonian and then the electronics lab.
Pictures to follow!
Thanks guys you've inspired me! (Nancy doubts this will really happen but I'm not daunted!)
