I do indulge in "suikerwafel" to keep my brain happy. My wife keeps me young. Running on occasion also helps. Never tried protein, does Rochefort 10 count ?

@GertSanders, If that suikerwafel is those waffles, I really want to try one! Your wife will, indeed, keep you young sir! Ahh running, I like to see you're active, not my style of sports but i appreciate it! Now, I'm English, but i do know how to use google and I recognize 'Rochefot 10' as a ale/beer. No, that is most certainly not protein ;)

I would have sworn it was protein-like :-), oh well, we learn everyday ... -
The first of many new tools to reside on my desk/bench!

I think we should get a tooling topic going, what major testing equipment we all have and what we wish to gather in the future (if any) and then recommended tooling for new comers to purchase to help get their hobby off to a good start. Yes, I'm in that later category.
I will get one made within the next week if no one does it before me. Too busy right now unfortunately, so would appreciate if someone else did it but if they don't I will see to it asap!

@Samuel235 I almost feel ashamed. I have a relative cheap soldering iron and a cheap multi-meter. But like I always tell people, when they ask me about the best tools for woodworking. It's not about the tools, it's what you do with it ;-)

@TheoL, this is my only 'higher end tool' at the moment. But i'm looking around for a good, but used, oscilloscope so i can start to inspect whats happening on my PCBs electronically. I also need a decent multimeter, i'm currently using a £5 'thing'.
There is no need to be ashamed at all, we all have to start somewhere ;)

That doesn't only hold for woodworking! ;-)

@Samuel235 There is a thread on a Dutch forum which is describing the best tool for hobbyists, not the most expensive. You'll have to use google translator. But I've been told it's a good list.

Maybe I should provide a Δ -picture. I mean, the old one is two years old now :)
It even more crowded nowadays. Can hardly fit the projects I'm working on :(
@hek Perhaps this applies to your Rigol DSO ?

just grabbed a quick image of the secret den here :)
and yes, it does need a bit of cleanup, so I have a space for my laptop there, but I have a couple of other higher priority projects.. So cleaning must come later (at least I have space for building pcb's whenever I have time for it..).
The following tools are in use:
- Weller dual digital soldering station
- Old digital multimeter (had it for 15+ years)
- Tektronix 60Mhz oscilloscope
- 30V/5A power supply
- Homemade vices for holding pcb's.

May I ask you guys how you generate 'stock' of components so you don't need to order parts to design and test circuitry ideas? Did you specifically order parts, if so what should i order to generate a 'versatile component library' that i can breadboard anything that pops into my head? or did you just order more than you need for each part and store them for future needs?

@Samuel235
I usually always order more than I need. And as soon as I wonder do I need this - I order from ebay or aliexpress :-)
so I am staring to sort out stuff. I bought a box from Biltema for my electronic stuff
