New home, first lab!

strb

26 Jan 2025

After more than a year of work to tidy up everything, I finally moved from my parents house to my new apartment, living on my own for the first time.

With the move, I managed to gain something that I had wished for a long time: a dedicated space for my home lab. The desk is self built to maximize the space available (and to save some money), obtaining a comfortable 3.2m long by 0.9m deep work surface to set up both soldering and measuring instruments at the same time, plus a small space in between for the pc.

To store all instruments and tools, I was able to repurpose some old furniture that was around in the apartment, so I don't need to keep dusting them Slight smile.

Life is still pretty busy but I hope to be enjoying my new space soon, maybe with a roadtest or by participating for my first time to a design challenge!

    I like shelves at the back of the bench for test gear. Keeps the cables out of the way (to an extent). The easily accessible gear changes quite often according to what I'm working on.

    Tidiness is volatile.

    "Tidiness is volatile" Laughing

    Very true. My workspace can often be very tidy, but right now...not so much.

    Are those shelves part of the desk or a separate piece? I'm thinking how could I build something on top of my desk but I would prefer to not drill any hole in the wall to fix stuff
