Hello guys,
Thought I would share some images of my home lab workspace with you, there are some great use of spaces on this thread and some ingenious ideas that I would have never thought!
I feel that my work space is easy to use and laid out well for those big boned among us

Really pleased with the JBC soldering equipment it's just so nice to use, with their superb range of tips and package removal tools plus the custom design service, should have looked at this brand years ago, but hey hidsight is wonderful thing.
We are geared up for specilist power supply design & build, audio and the odd green energy project, so a lot of the equipment is centred around these areas.
It has taken around two and half years to bring the home lab up to this standard, like everyone else you seek the best deals for your needs.
Between here and the works lab:
Scopes: Lecroy Wavepro 254 4Ghz, Lecory MDA8020 2Ghz, Lecroy HDO6000A (B model due soon) 500Mhz Lecroy Wavesurfer 4000HD 200Mhz, Rigol MSO8000 2.3Ghz (Tv84 enhanced)
Forteen Lecroy probes and eight Rigol probes both brands with fully digital probe looms as well.
RF work: Rigol RSA 5065 TG (TV84 enhanced), Siglent SVA 1015X, Agilent VSA E4433B 4Ghz
DC LISN x2, LISN mate, AC LISN, RF Current probes, full range of RF EMC sniffer probes and three rf amplifiers, various antenna’s RF dummy loads X3 various sizes, various attenuators and transient limiters. Impedance convertors and VSWR bridge 8Ghz
Signal generators: Tek AFG31000 250Mhz 2G/s, Rigol DG822 (TV84 enhanced) 100 Mhz, Rhode & Schwartz APN-62 low frequency unit 0Hz-260Khz
Power analysers: Tektronix PA1000, Keysight N6705C, (two modules Precision 17amp 60V psu and sink) two Lecroy RP4030 rail probes and two cp030A (1ma resolution current probes)
Power supplies: Keysight E36313A, Temma 30V 10amp cheapy but robust daily driver, Kikusui PCR500M a/c supply, a quality variac 10 amps 240Vac. Plus various ultra low 5 amp 16ua ripple current custom construction linear units.
DC loads: GW Instek PEL-3031E: Keysight EL34243A dual load, plus various constructed passive loads ranging pto 20 amps, these are so much quieter tha the active loads for EMC work
Reference refernce clock system 10Mhz ultra low phase noise -122dbc@1hz Mutec SE-120
Audio analyser Rhode & Schwartz UPV66 with ALL options (curtesy of TV84) except the ultra low singal generator which I could puchase a DMM7510 for the same cost!!!
Multi meters: Keithley DMM7510, Keithley DMM6500 Fluke 115
LCR devices Microtest 6366 500khz precision LCR meter with various adapters, Peak LCR45 and Peak Atas Pro DCA75 device tester
Soldering: JBC DDE 2 tools precision tweezers and de-soldering station, C2EV10 soldering station around 30 tips of various configuration.
Flir E8 infra-red camera.
A lot of T flex 405 cabling both N type and BNC terminations, plus more bench test power leads than I can shake a stick at which have been made up over the years.
Only a couple of changes planned, a new 12 GHZ VNA and another DC load.
The lab is used most day's is a great environment to work in.
Thanks for reading
