Your workshop :)
-
I started writing in @Yveaux thread but didnt want to go too far off topic so; here is a small presentation of myself; you guys could write something short about yourselves too!
I've been involved in lots of project here and there, I have done some minor hacking of protocols, programs (softice, olledbg, IDA) and even embedded systems (mostly linux). But it is just for fun for myself. Never 'destroyed' anything. I know a little about many things, but not really good at anything at the same time.. :) I know electronics too, Not much analog but digital is easy (as long as the frequency doesn't get too high.. Sigh!)
@Yveaux You seam to do a lot of fun stuff too.. :) -
OK here it is:
I am an entrepreneur (or self employed if you like) in sales training, coaching and (interim) management. Next to that I do something completely different and that is developing Java Plug-ins for the Servoy platform (and a bit of Objective C, Xojo and Python). It is sort of a hobby that I made my job.
The rest is hobby.
I like nice watches and from there I grew into what I described a few posts back.
I started installing a few security cams earlier this year, found that the step into domotica was not too difficult and here I am building a hobby around MySensors and electronics. And soon 3D printing... -
My temporary setup until the oldest is moving out :x so rooms of the others can be swapped and i can start build my lair. Not much, but it does the job. Low WAF factor because it now is in the view of the main living. It will eventually be a relax space. The desks are just quick builds and all my stuff are put somewhere else so a LOT of walking around while prototyping etc. is needed. And as you can see of the chair, the cat loves to play parrot on my shoulders.
you guys could write something short about yourselves too!
Dutch, Engaged and stepfather of three and one of my own, have a dog and cat. I've been mostly involved in back-end systems (Navigation company, financial/educational institutions and telecommunications) with system administration, programming and test labs. Always done some electronics but since last year and a half dived deeper into it and started with home automation with my best friend who I know for 16 years now.

I could really use a bookshelf or something to organize things better. Those transparent storage boxes are pretty great though, if I can only get them off the floor. That wonky desk is an old IKEA Jerker (v1 circa 1999-2001). I have a v2 now for the computer setup. Great desks, long since discontinued, even if birch wasn't the smartest color in retrospect.
3x30W 4000K CFL tubes. I use them for photography and as grow lights in the spring (with different fixtures).
Notice the big bag of Ebay envelopes.
What are my chances of winning the man cave competition? ;-) I guess I'm disqualified since I live alone anyway. Haha.
-
Well in the sport of things, here is my 'work space'. Sorry about the quality, phone camera and all... Also don't know how to imbed pics.
-
Order, but not here ;) -
I enjoyed perusing everyone's work benches. :)
I have a number of other (non electronic) projects already in the works, but when I complete those I'll be setting up a little area to do my electronic piddling. I'm really looking forward to it.
When I get that set up, I'll post back here. :)

Here is the corner I share with my wife. Each has a desk, but since I was first to start this and need both a mental (my Mac) and physical workspace , my desk is a little wider :-)
Never mind the distortion, it's a badly made panorama, but gives a good idea of where I spend my free time.

@GertSanders I envy you ;-) I'd like to have a tinker space like that. So that's the place where all to good stuff comes from!

Thanks. It's getting there. I would like a few more things: a solid lab power supply instead of the repurposed PC power supply. Another storage cabinet (big fan of my RAACO cabinets) for small parts. The oscilloscope I saw on @Anticimex work bench. A hot air gun, next to my soldering station and finally a second 5K screen (but I'm spoiled already by my Mac).
I keep my printer on the first floor (this is on the second floor) so I have a barrier to print things (and it keeps me moving a little). -
Good inspiration here while I'm planning for something better. Atm I only have my 1.1x0,75m family kitchen table, two boxes in a closet and an old (10y) budget laptop behind a pillow in the sofa.

Is it in the picture in this thread, or somewhere else? Because I don't see an oscilloscope?
-
What a great thread! Thanks for kicking it back into life, @TRS-80
I don't have a workshop so I use the dinner table. Have bought a few assortment boxes to make it easy to hide away all the parts when I'm not using them.
The mask is from a project I wore at scifiworld today. It is not (yet) MySensorized.

Sorry, you're right. It is marceltrapman's desk I saw it on. -

This is mine in the clean state, a decent working size but its not a dedicated area, it has to server as my office too. I'm looking to extend the desk round to the left under the window and have a dedicated electronics area. I will upload a image of the desk in action in the near future.
Some little Ni-Cad cells in the right storage hole as you can see, this is the only electronic piece out at the moment :(

@Samuel235 and I see some... myprotein ?? yummy :)
