love the wooden cabs...very nice.

Yeah, though it turns out that even if you can get the production time for the drawers down to 5 minutes or so, it still takes a freaking long time to make 53 of 'em!

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...

Most of my components are still in plastic drawers, though it is nice to have a big wood drawer for transformers and chokes. The rest of those drawers are other necessaries. Shrink tube, IEC power connectors, a couple of drawers for tools I don't use quite as much, power strips, etc.

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 give me hope, Gabriel.

I have a similar mix of bigger wooden drawers and the usual plastic ones.

I'm still in the moving-in phase - we bought our house in 1997.

The CNC is out of commission as I rebuild it to be more reliable. THAT project has been on hold since the basement flooded. These were 99+% table saw work. All the joints are dados, rabbets, and slots (with a healthy dose of glue and pneumatic finish nails).

Coolest thing about my space is the Betta fish ! he helps keep me mellow and calm, Wu Wei; and my vintage radios which all function. The 1963 Silvertone is a guitar amp (danelectro honeytone circuit inside ), the 1984 Sony is my computer monitors two 4 ohm MIJ speakers pushed by a lepia amp and is bluetooth enabled and the other 1973 Realtone is my radio I listen to my Am programs like sprots open line on

The proximity of the hammer and the aquarium kinda gets me nervous

you probably realised your placement mistake when you had to move the beer, brisance?

is that a cold backlight thing doing the hole lighting? how's the glare from that?

Ahhhhhhh....heaps of space..........to be filled

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.

duck_arse · « **Reply #537 on:** July 17, 2015, 10:03:41 AM »

are they matchbox parts drawers? old school!

Brisance · « **Reply #538 on:** July 17, 2015, 01:31:08 PM »

why, yes they are, perfect for storing caps, until you have too much to fit in them

Brisance · « **Reply #539 on:** August 17, 2015, 04:15:58 PM »

... Had to move my workshop, luckily to a better location once again. Here is a post circuit design&testing shot(almost a perfect mess):
