Show me your workbench!

Rich,
Nice work area. What model Sound Technology do you have there?
I have the ST 1700B, but it has been upgraded to include auto-set level, and the inter-modulation distortion module. I tend to use the HP-8903A a bit more.

Enjoy,
Rich P

Yes. I noticed the extra controls on the top center where those options (IM Distortion) are inserted.​
 
I got mine many years ago, but I believe this is it: http://www.amazon.com/18w-Flex-Lamp...1827766&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=ottlite+FlexArm It was designed for women's craft projects, and provides smooth natural light, designed to minimize glare, while fully illuminating my work. It has a heavy base, as well as a table side clamp, so you choose how you want to use it.

For magnification, I use a magnifier hood with a variety of flip-down lenses and rotate in loupe. That way, I can wear my bifocal safety glasses (http://www.amazon.com/MSA-Safety-Wo...id=1441828764&sr=8-1&keywords=bearcat+glasses), and get good magnification when I need it. I also don't have to fuss with moving my magnifier around all the time (they do tend to get in the way).

Mine are similar to these: http://www.amazon.com/SE-MH1047L-Il...Magnifier/dp/B003UCODIA/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_y

For magnification that does not require you to get close to focus, just clip these onto your safety glasses: http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-light-B...1441830286&sr=8-9&keywords=surgical+magnifier

I have an OttLite also. I got it from my mom when she passed last year. It is a floor stander with a magnifier and a small parts bin. My bench is kind of a disaster at the moment. Most of my stuff is getting packed up at the moment as I am getting prepared to sell the house and move. This room is scheduled for last.

Bump in hopes others will add to the thread.
Also some of the earlier images are missing since the big update. Maybe edit with new pictures?
I don't know why I like this thread so much? A glimpse and perception?
I just read every post from the start in March 2008. Fun
 
Here's my little hide away, just the basics and a bit messy need to re work it agian...I am surprised to see how many people sit down to work..My back is buggered so I like to have a high bench...but either way i would think sitting down would be so restrictive ...I built my bench and top shelf out of scrap timber and some old doors...need to get the finger out and finish the set up

Both very useful tools!
