new permanent lab bench

Jan Cumps
Jan Cumps over 2 years ago

I didn't have a dedicated bench since I moved to Brussels in 2015. I lived in a great location, but free space was restricted. I had to timeshare my workspace for office work and lab work. Made a clean bench when finished working, took care that that bench was clean again when started working the next day. Now that I moved to a bigger (too big?) location, I finally got a prime spot again.

that's all

    That is great that you have a place to work and create. I don't know what I would do without my shop. I remember the challenges you were having with space from over a year ago. Now of course you don't…

    Looks like  a great work space. It is probably good discipline to clean the bench every day, but I am not an example of one who does this.

    I think I'm allergic ... to clean benches Slight smile.

    But on a more serious note - I'm glad you have a dedicated bench. It helps makes things easier and more comfortable.

    Looks great.  I really struggled until I could set up something a bit more permanent so I can understand your sense of joy!

    very nice. Equipment and supplies expand to consume any available space, like a Koi fish.

    I am curious what this statement translates to in English. I did not think there was a phrase to describe a workbench space as anything other than too small. Slight smile

    Joke aside, that's a great-looking place to do some fun stuff.

    It looks very nice but suspiciously new and tidy !

    Where do you put all your test cables - not to mention the de-soldered parts from experiments, odd washers with no homes, ends of heat shrink tube (some already shrunk), not quite dead but used batteries, things you were working on (until interrupted and had to work on something else) - etc.

    I keep buying more boxes but I run out of places to put them.

    ROFL - exactly. Sandwich containers of misfit screws & nails. :-) drawers for tape, glue, tyraps and velcro.

    An edge example - most boxes are project collections.
