DANG ! I have to get over there and build some speakers, just cause.

edit - was taking about this with the wife over lunch and she said I should just buy a nice table saw. Man, I love this woman.

Summer alternative play area

My real workshop is in the basement, but I took over the porch to goof with incoming & outgoing equipment. When I realized I had equipment from about 5 decades' span all gathered together, I snapped this pic. If you look close you can see:

pair white transmission line speakers sans drivers
pair AR-3A speakers
pair old Zenith console speakers with 12" drivers
pair JBL S-99 speakers
pair Advents with orig boxes
Harman-Kardon Citation 1 preamp
back of rebuilt SE integrated
Lazarus tube preamp
rebuilt console amp
Knight 6973 stereo integrated
Sony STR-6065
Marantz 2215
two CD players
variac

On the table are ziplocks of various 12AX7s
Under the table is a pair of Dyna PAS preamps
Boxed-up Newcomb tube amp

More tube misc on the right.
Right after I took the picture I added a pair of Rat Shack LX-4s for test-listening to the Citation.

OK! I'll bite... Here's my little hideaway

This is my little "shop of horrors"... he he... Well, to my wife anyway. :wave:

But this is also where I explore my new hobby. And I just realized where one of my SX-780's is going to live! I can't believe I don't have real tunes in there!

All I have is this 1980'ish Panasonic Boombox hanging on the back wall for tunes. Time for some bookshelf speakers!!!

I wonder if I can fit some CS-88A's up in the corners??? Hmmm.

Kinda funny, you can see the simpson and the old tube O'scope but my main tool is the new Ratshack DMM sitting next to the SX-1280.

Here is my bench now that I've got all my parts in bins.

 

[Wardsweb]

[bolly]

Wardsweb, That's alot of bits and pieces...

 

[dewickt]

Got tired of looking at my old but good replacement speakers hanging on the wall with nails.

 

[WhiteSE]

Wards,,,,shame on you...MTX for your car???

Improved man cave...

Well,
Winter is coming so some preparations were in order. Change is good!

Moved from the leaky wall to the non-leaky wall (a big plus, notice the bucket behind the 1280 in my previous post)

Using my mule SX-780 and a recent set of rebuilt KLH 317's as near field monitors (new tweeters, new solder joints, original crossovers). CDP for a source but I love the tuners in these things. All on a new shelf.

Now have some bits and pieces strictly for audio stuff hangin' on the wall. If I can get TV and wireless internet out here in the shed it will be heaven on earth!!!

Here's the bench.

and a shot across the garage in the other direction. It seems like every flat surface is collecting audio gear.

kinda a neat freak, did your wife organize your shop?

 

[Wardsweb]

kinda a neat freak, did your wife organize your shop?

No, that's me. I'm obsessive / compulsive and kind of drilled into me while working in military/NASA R&D. It can be a PITA trait but it sure makes for some very nice DIY electronics and wood working.
:yes:

 

[styler]

actually looks great

if i had to choose any of the shops displayed, i'd choose yours! pretty nice set up and you can actually find that thingy when you need it.

 

[Wardsweb]

Speaking of wood working. Here is my newest toy. Time to make some speakers.

 

[styler]

birchply sub

how much for a birchply 10in sub? LOL

 

[WhiteSE]

I dont have a pic yet, but i bought thru pawn shops:

portable circular saw (Porter Cable)
Router (Craftsman)
sander (Black and Decker)
huge drill bit set from DeWalt
Jig Saw (DeWalt)
Shop-Vac (great thing to have)

All to build myself some subwoofer enclosures and stuff for the house...I already bought some pine for corber shelves...

You really wanna see a mess?
My little corner of the world.
I could try to kid you all that it is not always like this, when i have something large in I just have to sweep most things aside, or work on the floor
