One of my favorite features of the bench is the half-round moulding around the tabletop, which prevents tools and parts rolling off.

I decided I wasn't happy with my PnP Blue circuit boards (no surprise, given my personality), but I didn't want to pay for the MG Chemicals UV light - so I made my own! It cost about $20 in LEDs from China, and all the wood used is scrap from around the shop. The glass was maybe $3. So, I believe that I saved money - as long as you don't count my time! If you count the time I spent, this thing cost me about $1000!

aha. im getting a dremel for xmas
@perrow - man tackar!:) I actually use that diamond disc a lot, to trip the PCBS to shorten pot lugs to even them out and what not, VERY usable. But I have only one, that came with some large accessory pack that I bought (på Jula) for like $15 and I'm so afraid that it will breake (literraly I cut like 50pcbs with it in no time).
@astronaut my dremel is like perrow's, it takes up to 3,2 mm but anything less then that is good too, so I can use cheapo hss mini drills too.
And we have a winner in the "longest time since I cleared my desk" competition :icon_eek:haha cassettes came out before i was even born, its actually one of the adapters for your car if you only have a tape player. I was thinking I could use it for a tape echo unit.

erm...and perrow...(you'll have to share it..) :P
Perrow - your workbench is well lighted and clear, that's appreciable for guys like me with a declining sight (it led me to think that I could do better on mine)... It is also perfect for pedal building, but you probably would lack space for tube amps chassis, if you were concerned, of course.
A+!
so every time something slips down onto the floor there's strong language and rearranging of lamps
Beautiful gear Bruno, I bet most of it works too!
I finally take the time to take some not-too-messy partial pics of my tube-based basement workbench :
Hi terminalgs,
If you speak about the AM/FM receiver, it's a 1957 BLAUPUNKT "Milano" model.
What are those 2 instruments I see over your workbench, in the rack, looking like "vintage blue nixies" DMM ?
A+!
Ah, yes ! Those old testing instruments are true workhorses... And abuse-resistant !
I also see that you have a similar "tube project chassis" as mine, but horizontal, wider, and probably with more features (and maybe a little onboard LV/HV supply).
Here's mine - but I should improve it...

It works REALLY well. Even with my first couple, where I didn't really know what I was doing, they've come out at least as good as the best I could do with the PnP Blue toner transfer method. Its also MUCH faster! I'm liking this system a lot.

The business end.
It uses 200 UV LEDs, in 40 strings of 5. The 18V power supply came from someone's lap top (I've no idea whose), and at 2.23A is WAY more than I need. The LEDs draw about 20mA each, and the 40 resistors are drawing less than 19mA each, so the total rig draws about 800mA. I briefly thought about just using power direct from the wall, and using the LEDs as the rectifier with maybe a couple caps to reduce the ripple, but I decided that wouldn't be the safest option in the world!
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4825973176_f438ac63af.jpg) (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4825973176_faafe59a5b_o.jpg)
200 LEDs and 40 27ohm resistors, joined with a couple different Western Union Linesman splices. Why? Because sometimes I get to be a bit obsessive.
Can you say, WAY more work than it was worth? I thought you could.
Wiring the LEDs took me about a month (though I took a couple weeks off in the middle, though), and the case for it took me about 15-20 minutes (not counting buying the glass; that was another 10 minutes - I really like having a great hardware store half a block from my shop!
It takes about two minutes to expose the board, about 30-45 seconds to develop it - maybe a minute - and you are ready to go. Totally cool! Mind you, if I were to do it again, I would use PnP to make 4 or so circuit boards for the LEDs, instead of making all those linesman splices! I'm pretty sure it will work forever, though, so I'm not overly bothered by it - now that its done!
By the way, I designed the LED array using THIS SITE (http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz).
Gabriel
Gabriel, I have been intrigued with this project since you posted it. Im not ready to build something similar, yet maybe smaller. Can you share some details? I am only assuming that the depth from LED to glass is important? As is the LED viewing angle and mcd? I believe the LEDS need to be between 380nm and 400nm?
Thanks in advance for any light :D you can shed on this.

i'm looking at something very similar, but the longer one with the curve at the end. are they sturdy?
I don't remember offhand what model my Dremel is, but it has a little button near the business end, you press and hold the button to lock the shaft into place, which then allows you to get a wrench on the part of the shaft that releases the collet/chuck/whatever. Hope you can get that figured out.I tried it , pressing it while turning clockwise/anti-clockwise , the collet doesn't loosen :(
Sharing a make/model number/series might help others to solve the problem with you ;)*coughcough* I bought this when i was in china so you expect , no website , even googling offers no clarity on it .
Perhaps a link to the manufacturer

What are the les paul ish guitars on the left?
Is that oak, maple ?? you have stickered and drying there?
Those are some baritone guitars I made a few years ago. The three LP's and the Tele, 30" baritones. Didn't make the Mustang or the Dan Armstrong guitar.... Check my Flickr account for more pics....
Those are Mac's guitars. :DOh . :icon_mrgreen:
But, to fill in the grain you use a "grain filler" or wet sand the finish (while finish is still wet)
Those are Mac's guitars. :D
But, to fill in the grain you use a "grain filler" or wet sand the finish (while finish is still wet)
Well, no, not exactly. We use pour filler, to be sure, but wet sanding is not to do with pour filling, and is done when the finish is a dry as you can get it, given time restrictions. Inter-coat sanding can, and even should, be done dry (though using a sandpaper that has a lubricant in the grit), and that is the part where you can fill the grain somewhat. By the time you are wet sanding, though, you need to have the finish dead flat already. It is called wet sanding, by the way, because you are lubricating the surface with soapy water, which keeps the sandpaper from loading too quickly and (among other issues) causing large scratches that you can't get rid of - the water also helps to carry away the dross from sanding.
Just a different technique. By wet sanding I mean sanding wet oil/sprit/poly into the wood.
Filling the grain and pores with the slurry and then wiping back. Many coats lighter grits as you go.
Here's what my attempts look like.
I was continuing to shrink, to become... what? The infinitesimal? What was I? Still a human being? Or was I the man of the future? If there were other bursts of radiation, other clouds drifting across seas and continents, would other beings follow me into this vast new world? So close — the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet — like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension. I had presumed upon nature. That existence begins and ends in man's conception, not nature's. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero. I still exist!

Damn... I WANT THAT WORKSPACE!!
lots of pedals come out of this somehow
like life, it is a balance of forward momentum, doing what is needed at the moment to keep it moving, not getting bogged down in overly anal organization.
i know where almost everything is, and almost everything i need is within fast reach ( vertical emphasis, fluid tool/ material placement, willingness to mod everything in sight to accomplish tight workspace)
i like to stand while i work.
i like equiv 1000 watts of light shining on the work area ( approx 20% incandesc, 70% curlycue lightbulbs, 10% flouresc)
the middle 'stand' is the stage. a fluid area where different platforms get swapped in and out, but the key thing is that it gets the major work up at eye and hand level, up in the light.
the styrofoam tool storage 'stand' is glued quickly to a heavy piece of tile to keep it stationary. it is poked full of holes for the tools and new holes get poked or expanded all the time.
final note: the wire rack across the top contains not only wire, but my spool of solder so i never lose the solder. it is always hanging right where it can be grabbed quickly.
... circle it in red and tell me what it is.
Here's my nest. If you can spot the mj paraphernalia I will send you a fet matcher box I made :icon_mrgreen: circle it in red and tell me what it is. All 'entries' must be submitted within 24 hours of this post. (It's medical use, so don't get your panties in a bunch if your against it)

On the matress by the pillows. Looks like a hooch box to me :icon_mrgreen:
Conveniently handy and at eye level for easy access. That's my bet!
HEy! you got irony in my enigma! NO! YOu got enigma in my irony. break me off a piece of that bacon-bar.I laughed at that way more than I should have :icon_lol:
Im a little scared of John Lyons :o There's only one thing missing in his shop. And I find this very scarey.
THERE'S NO EXIT :icon_eek:
Speaking of which, currently on the bench, fixing for a musician friend who has very little money (shocker!) but has agreed to compensate me with something green.... ;D

No! BOOOOO!
Love that retro photo. Had me going for a sec.
Looks like a cat knocked your parts drawers over. I hope you had a chance to drink the precious contents of that glass before the accident. ;D
Drunken pedal building....Not even once :icon_mrgreen:
^Hot or cold?
Can anyone else identify more objects?

Thereverend matt bellamy doesn't have a burst box it's a kill switch. And it's not a BURST BOX it's a circuit box with burst button...

so, while this is not MY workbench, it is still quite interesting, I think.The same here... not my workbench, but my grand father is still 98 and kicking! He was the first to make a TV broadcast signal in the Iberian peninsula (50's). In this video (in Portuguese) you can see his amateur radio paraphernalia. Taken from an interview of a news broadcast network in Portugal.
...
shown is my great-grandfather at his workbench, at the Low Head Cable Station, Tasmania, circa 1890.
he has just posted a qustion as to when Tesla might be going to invent radio, and is hoping for a reply from R.G.Keene. whilst he waits, he thinks about the price of copper.

darron, did this ^ make a noise (it obviously would have), were you there to hear it, and what did it sound like? I bet it was good.
I too am part of the "bench in front of the window" club:

I always wear a condom when pedal building. It helps reduce the risk of STDs (Solder transmitted diseases) :icon_mrgreen:
Here's my bench...
Taking a nap after all that playing with wires and resistors!

I know what that enclosure was for!! ;)
Amsterdam? I think all my time would be spent daydreaming out the window. Nice!
Yep, Amsterdam, but after living there for so long it seems quite ordinary... I'm aching for green views...

Haha....funny afterthought: All you have to do for a green view is go to the coffee shop around the corner

Nice VW bus! :)+1
^ thanks, yeah he was a good guy, the irony is that he was as useful as a chocolate teapot when it came to woodwork... ;DI hope he did a better job with the woodwork than Wally Schirra did with trimming the sheep!

Ok, now we believe you. ;)
Here's a look at my future work shop. It's an 8' x 20' walk-in attic space. I'm going to wall it in, insulate it, and add a new floor, A/C, a fume hood, a sink, and a bench.
Well if you and your missus both are going to be there I can think of other ways to furnish that space ;)
Don't worry already got my coat on.
I think the ceiling is too low for a trapeze. ;D
@duck_arse: good spot for the scope, out of the way in otherwise-dead space. I like the cut of your jib, sir!
Don't mind the mess!
Don't mind the mess!
I sure won't mind, where is it?
Careful-- that thing will grow up to be a full blown Gorn.
love the wooden cabs...very nice. 8)
Yeah i bet, but well worth the time and effort, i,d love to build a nice set of component drawers rather than these plastic ones...
Thats some beautiful work Gabriel ! Sorry to hear about the flooding, I went through something similar a few years back. You really did a knock out job building all of that, beautiful work space.
Did you use your cnc machine for a lot of the work ?
you probably realised your placement mistake when you had to move the beer, brisance?Hehe
is that a cold backlight thing doing the hole lighting? how's the glare from that?there's a plexiglass with a bunch of LED strips attatched as the desk light, which I need to mount somewhere better and build a PWM dimmer for it (improvised light fixtures for the win right?) but there's a large fluorescent tube on the ceiling as well.
Ahhhhhhh....heaps of space..........to be filled 8)
also - you sold your wife?
...
made a trunk out of the scraps for cables n bits..and even a small speaker cab, (waiting for a bench amp to go in it).....
Nice work area!

Can you tell I'm not married?
i can pull it out and play with myself.. ;)
whooohooooo....oh no ive ruined it... ::)
Nice! And those table lamps look perfect, my bench needs an upgrade.
looks like henry's chewed through those speaker cables, must be cause of those rude things you said about him.
I have finally dug out enough and gotten organized enough to work again!
Some pics of my new digs:

Running out of wall space in the Man Cave... had to hang the new Telecaster, and the Gibson Silverburst....Are you implying that I should buy those plastic tubs full of Russian germanium transistors, op amps, and broken fuzz circuits so you can hang another guitar? :icon_wink:
Stacking them now.

My workbench is tucked behind the door in my music room/office. Doesn't feel as small as it looks.
Organised one drawer for resistors. Took ages to print then cut the card only to find I'd missed a load of values which now have to reside in the 'others' section. Wireless Oscope saves a bit of room but with so little space, it gets messy during a build. Or maybe that's just me :)

Its actually a fan to save me blowing away the dust
... covered with the finest vintage tolex possible (actually a leftover piece of some amp) An aluminum plate for shielding (under the green plastic) At right a box with in, out, power and bypass switch. At left an "L" piece of aluminum with holes for pots, switches, etc. A couple of protoboards and many many jumper wires.
...the pandemic may end someday.
Everything in its place...
