looks really nice

I have some test gear but it is scattered thru out my messy home
 
Nice bench! My 'bench' is my dining room table. :) I just ordered a distortion analyzer to go with my scope though, so that will be fun..

Very nice having the AK forums up on the computer in the photos. ;)

What are you fixing next?

peace,
sam
 
Nice bench. I'm definitely jealous. I have lots of equipment, and gear to work on. But, I can't get to my bench. I'm having to do my restoration work on the back desk of my office cove. You have sparked me to get busy and clean up the lab.

Thanks,
Rich P
 
My solution to clutter blocking the bench was twofold, one was wheels on some rack cabinets including one that has most of the active test equipment in it, the other is shelves. I've seen something interesting in some ads combining both, so the aisle space penalty is minimized. The shelves are on wheels, rolling in tracks......

Good thing there is no SWMBO overseeing things.... otherwise the dining room would be a DINING room, and I DO have to move the rack to get to the sx-636 and CDP on top of some infrequently accessed storage.

Of course I'm also thinning the herd by finally fixing the stuff and selling it on ebay.... (NOT audio stuff guys.... :D )

You know the old saying that if all you have is a hammer it's funny how many things start looking like nails :yes:

Nice set-up, now you have to give it that functional, it's a real work bench look, by starting to tear into stuff and have wires everywhere....

I am going yard saling this morning. Maybe I'll find some equipment that needs attention and we'll see just how good this stuff works! :pawprint:
 
Wow! Droolarama. Even though I didn't know it until now, I have this feeling that I've been subconsciously dreaming about a workbench like that all my life.
Very nice! :thmbsp:
 
I see you have yr horseshoe facing up to keep all yr luck from running out...Good man !! <grin>-Sandy G.

I learned that a long time ago! That horseshoe in particular is from the track were they run the Kentucky Derby! :thmbsp:
 
Dawg- Looking good, but I have only one question: How much use does it get from May to October in this God-forsaken desert?
 
I insulated the garage doors as they have a western exposure and it does get a little toasty out here. Last summer I used a portable swamp cooler and that made things more tolerable but then I couldn't hear the stereo. I'm looking into installing a permanent mounted swamp cooler outside, cutting a hole in the north wall to cool things off. If I can get the temp down to 80 or 85 degrees it will make life a lot better. It sucks when it's 115 degrees out here. (plus it doesn't do any of my electronics any good!)
