It's a new year and time for another nasty bench photo thread. I got a new camera for Christmas so I'll start...

Bah! Take that, times it by four, and you got my workshop. My other workshop is even bigger and messier. Actually its funny you brought this up as I'm in the middle if cleaning up my workshop again. I'll take some pics when I'm done.

Doug, that's fairly bad. But surely you have more gear than that. I especially like the analogue multi-meter. That shows a deep and true dislike of digital!

Haha! I am -way- behind on giving it a cleanup and I thought it made a funny picture. I've got 2 breadboards going, something on a perfboard, and I'm finishing up a tweak to the amp (that's the firefly). This is in my garage apt and my wife and I are getting ready to redo it (you think this is bad you should see the -rest- of the room...). Anyway, I'm obviously in desperate need of some shelving and storage so that will be one of the first things we add.
Yeah, I've still got an analog meter but there's a DVM in there too. It's just buried beneath the clutter. That's basically it for test equipment for me. Of course there's a whole floor full of pedals, plus cardboard boxes full of them, my amps, cabinet, guitars, etc... Didn't get all that in the photo. Note the tube tray on the bottom shelf. I'll take a good close-up of that sometime and you can start drooling... :D :D :D

And my little tool organizer:

It still looks pretty neat. Haven't had much time to do anything with a newborn and a two year old...

Paul. You must be married as well. I used to have a very nice self respecting mess like all free men should be allowed--until--The Wife! NO more mess--it was a cluttered, organized, dream.

Yes, I am married, but if I weren't , it would still look that way. I know, I give all the rest of you guys a bad name...
I actually decided to do this now that my two year old is getting into everything, and I have a newborn that will be walking and crawling before I know it. My wife did get tired of pulling little pieces of solder and wire strippings out of my daughters mouth all the time. I would always miss one or two little things on the floor (what used to be my workbench). Of course, as soon as my daughter walks in the room, the first things she sees is the tiny spec of something on the floor that I missed at 1:00 am in the morning. At least I don't have to put everything back into my closet when I am done anymore... thank goodness.

http://diystompboxes.com/sboxforum/viewtopic.php?t=17479&highlight=five
Ever since I've started to do that everything is now clean. Go figure!
Oh by the way, thanks Erik. That was one of the most helpful things I've read in a long time. So easy to apply, yet what a difference it has made. It's kind of weird to actually be able to find things right away. :D
Hey, one day maybe I'll be like you Paul!

That's one of my biggest reasons for being organized: I hate looking for things! If I put something back in the same spot everytime, I never have to go looking for it. And waste time in the process.

Thast's not a mess compared to me, RDV trust me. When I can find a camera I'll take a pic of my desk for you guys ;) the pic on my site is ancient.I installed an old computer on my desk so now I don't have to print out any schmeatics, I can do 'em right off the PC screen. Saves me having to clutter my desk with paper :D
Now imagine me trying to do my homework at this desk :mrgreen: Too much distraction..... :mrgreen:

If I butcher someone's language, it's not out of disrespect, I just like wordplay. Some friends & I back in AR(whar I's from) used to run around saying the exact opposite of what we really meant. Like "I really hate(love) beer!" Basically we were in a nowhere hick town & bored out of our minds!
I'm sure you don't(do) know what I mean, Ansil! :wink: :wink:
