Your workshop :)

[bjacobse]

As I have updated my workshop, so I no longer sit at my family kitchen table, but instead have a man-cave, behind a sliding-door closet, next to the water-heater

[tbowmo]

@bjacobse something is wrong, it's way to organized ;)

[bjacobse]

@tbowmo
Well I must admit, it's just put in place - which means I have not yet started to use it - It must be messy when in use :-)

[tbowmo]

resurrecting this old thread :)

I got thrown out of my old mancave, and in to a small corner in the main building (the oldest son, aged 21, needed a place to stay, as his 19 year old sister didn't want to share room with him)

Anyways, I have moved from a 240x60cm desk to a 120x80 desk, and no storage space around me, other than a small office cabinet on wheels. Which means that I have to constrain myself, and find some alternative setups. As I have to work from home these days due to corona, I treated myself with a monitor mount for my 3 screens.
As a bonus, I can now use the space below the monitors for my tools (power supply and soldering iron,and probably the oscilloscope as well, when I get to it). I'm re-arranging stuff every other day, to figure out the best setup, and remove cable clutter (which isn't easy).

@tbowmo is that KDE?

[tbowmo]

@monte said in Your workshop :):

@tbowmo is that KDE?

Nope, Ubuntu / gnome, but with a tool bar at the bottom of the screen.

@tbowmo nice! I was too lazy to open full-size image :)

[bjacobse]

@tbowmo
Looks really good, hope you will spend many good hours doing some fun stuff ;-)

[tbowmo]

@bjacobse thanks, hope so too.

Just looked back into the thread, I posted a picture of my old workshop back in 2016, still the same tools around, just a smaller desk to work on.

I thought I'd share a part of my 'workshhop'. Only part of it due the rest being in a bit of a mess at the moment, so here is the 'good' bit......

[Yveaux]

@skywatch if this is the good & organised bit I would die to see the rest :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

[mtiutiu]

@skywatch

OMG...

[dzjr]

@skywatch that is looking very good, but why would you measure the wind speed of your workshop?
:innocent:

[skywatch]

@Yveaux - I don't think it is really worth dying over ;)

@mtiutiu - I guess you are referring to the lack of beer on the bench. Don't worry I will be sorting that out very soon! :)

@dzjr I eat a lot of hot spicy food and you can never be too careful!

Actually the wind speed anemometer is something I 3D printed. The problem is that I need to calibrate it and since I don't have access to a wind tunnel I was thining of securing it to the car and driving at different speeds to note the readings.

Only 2 problems I have found with that so far. 1 - In the UK there are very few calm days. 2 - We have been in lockdown for nearly 2 months and I can't go out to test it.

So it just sits there mocking me for going to all the trouble of creating it in the first place!

[MatiasV]

I assumed that my desk was a kind of a mess... but now I realize it's just average!

[bjacobse]

@MatiasV No-no, you need much more stuff before it will be "average" ;-)

[skywatch]

@bjacobse I agree - when I was putting mine together I could see the desk top. But now it is in constant use 'building' I never know what I will find underneath something!
