Anyone up for a workstations thread?
>>895685
Better pic, sry
Don't forget to connect your ESD mat.
I would, but you wouldn't be able to see the workstation for all the stuff on top of it.
>>895721
That's the best kind!
I'm aware I have more scopes than I really need.
Depends on the day!
>>895729
dat vox combo amp. I wish they still made them with the big metal grills
>>895729
Don't let them fill your head with lies, you can never have enough scopes.
>>895729
Awwwww shit this guy. He's my favorite.

Must be nice to have a room dedicated to a workshop.
Currently sharing space with soon to be father-in-law so space is tight
i have not been around /diy/ for long but i have to say
i do fucking approve..
think i found me a new lurky hole
>>895837
for a second i thought that engine was sitting in the folding camp chair lol
Anyone work on k series Hondas? Sorry for cross thread posting but im drinking and in the garage. I'm building a custom mid engine car with miata uprights and steering rack.

Real talk, what do you need/use those scopes for? I have 5 scopes but I'm thinking of paring down to 2 to afford different equipment
>>896489
I've never needed more than three scopes at once. I'm collecting them for collecting's sake at this point.
>>895729
can you label what you have in your workshop?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A_NqNyvaBM
>>895729
I have 7 scopes too. Damn, they're like women, one is supposed to be enough, but hell, I want 'em all
>>895729
Thats my kind of shop, i like you. 10/10
What do you use a scope for? Sorry but I know nothing about them
>>896930
Installing gentoo.
Loljk, they're for observing and analyzing electronic signals and waveforms. They can be used for lots of things, tho.
>>896930
An oscilloscope produces a graph of voltage vs time. Most electronic signals are much too fast to analyze with a blinking LED or reading values from a voltmeter. The analog CRT ones work by running a sawtooth wave into the horizontal deflection coil and amplifying the input signal to control the vertical defliction coil. A digital scope uses an analog to digital converter to read values then draws them on a display with a simple graphics card.
Recommendations for a soldering iron?
Starting to get more serious about this stuff and I've come to the conclusion that my $8 radioshack pos just won't cut it.
Willing to spend maybe around $100.
>>897007
Hakko 888-D.
>>897007
I've used many different name-brand soldering irons in many different scenarios, but I am despite that ridiculously attached to my own AOYUE 2901. The 10 mm chisel tip is the only tip you'll ever need again in your entire life, from medium pitch QFP to desoldering motherboard MOSFETs.
Anyway, here's workbench as of today.
>>897007
Hakko FX-888D
It has digital readout and you can order every single piece of it individually if a part breaks. About 100 dollars. Heats up in about 30 seconds.
Can anyone recommend a good model of fume extractor? I'm tired of having to open a window when I solder and freezing my ass off every winter.
What I've managed to scrape together so far. Pretty cozy
>>897077
I use the Weller WSA350 at work. It's pretty quiet and the filter lasts quite a long time.
I think I need some real sense talked into me. I'm young and getting into the game as an EE (graduating in a year or so) and I've managed to pick up five Hameg HM407's recently.
The university was throwing them away and I've always fetishised having the technology so it was a no brainer to pick up and take as many as I could. I imagined having racks and racks of glowing displays and visable traces.
Except 1 year on and I haven't used them at all. In fact they're not even on my bench due to space constraints and the fact that I picked up a Tek TDS210.
I'm also in the spot for needing some cash to either buy a car, build up savings or buy equipment; so I've been thinking about selling these for a while now.
I just can't bring myself to let them go, fear of not "getting enough' for them and the fear that some day in my future I might want or even NEED 5 analog scopes on my desk still sits in my mind.
Thought I post here because at the end of the day I have old equipment that's not on my bench and won't be.
What do I do?
>>897226
Pic related, HM507, a beautiful scope imo.
>>897231

>>897231

>>897071
Can confirm these are good irons. Simple but rugged.
>>897226
Well first let's see a pic of all of them together.
There's no 'getting enough' when you got them for free
I cleaned mine up a little for the picture.
>>897288

>>895802
Aren't you that bastard who found all that stuff at goodwill
it was even worse earlier today.
trying to get it under control.
i think the problem is that i have even better tools and partselections at work.
so most of my projects are done there after hours, making this the place i though shit up in a hurry.
this is bad and i need to stop.
trying to get shit in order before i start making tube amps again.
plan is to make 5w SE prototype(almost done) to to test varios preamp prototypes with, before i tackle the beast that is gonna be my 50W amp.
>>897405
the cabinet i stuff shit into
>>895859
few days late but I do. Bseries are cheaper though hence the name. Currently make 545hp on turbo lsvtec on e85 daily.
>>897405
What's that on the couch?
>>897426
Well I got my k24a4 for 300 is that cheap? I can never find a b in a junkyard, also what brand specific specialty tools do I need besides a crank tool
>>897426
And his board is slow so a few days isn't anything, I was also the op in the stuck steering rack thread
>>897033
Nice pony drawing.
Queer.
>>897033
I dig this setup, except how do you reach the top drawers of those cabinets infer that shelf?
>>895840
Better than /bst/ threads amirite
>>897077
I have a fume hood, I solder in there
>>897637
tube amp protoboard(literally a board), disassembled tube amp and a guitar hardcase.
here is what it looked like before it took it apart and mounted the amp in a chassis

Väldigt IKEA, mycket ordningen. Finsk.
>>897908
There is no other way.
I'll post mine tomorrow when I tidy up.
>>898220
oh, come on.
post now, there is no shame here.
give as a before and after^^
>>898222
It's 11pm in ausland, I can still do a before and after but it'll be tomorrow
>>898224

>>895685
Check it out.
>>898205
What are those power supplies on top of your scope?
Here is one of mine (the second one is more for mechanics) !
>>896974
BioChem or Bio, I see a shitload of auto pipet tip containers, a box of petri dishes and I guess media bottles.
>>898732
Well let's see the second one!
These are nice. I'm really motivated to finish my renovations, now.
>>898220
Well, that took a while to get around to.
>>899743
Tried sealing the shed with expanding foam, it failed pretty hard.
>>899744
Is there a cavity between the corrugated sections of that steel wall, or is it just one piece?
If that's a cold climate, I'd invest in some sticks and fiberglass and drywall or something and build an interior wall. I feel cold just looking at it.
>>899751
It's a warm climate, never snows.
There's just an open space between the corrugation and the concrete slab, maybe more concrete in there would work but there's the roof too.
I've already planned to build it in, floating floor, bigger windows.
>>899367
There it is !
>>899945
I dig the lamps, are they salvaged from something or original?
Euro game strong ITT
>>895729
I see the shopping cart
>>895802
Nice Geiger counter. is that a 717?
>>898732
What is that microscope?
>>900011
Both are originals, but salvaged from my fathers old lathes. The right one has been repainted, so the color is not original.
>>900305
This is a "radical scientific" binocular with a 0.5 additional lens (to increase working distance). It is mounted on a screen arm stand (with a DIY adapter) and with a custom LED light. Very usefull for 0603 soldering.
>>900118
What am I looking at here?
>>895729
Are you a hax0r
Need way more space but considering this is an apartment bedroom, it is nice. Been thinking of trying a hammock, dumping the bed would allow double the desk space. I've had a girl here twice this year so wouldn't be really loosing anything there :D

is that a hand grenade on the right?
>>901101
Yeah, 3 F1's by the look of them. They're probably solid cast paperweights, but if he's Finnish, they could be live.
You really never know with Finns.
>>901547
What kind of projects do you do? I see a soldering iron and some other electronics equipment, and what looks like supplies for painting or fabric.
woodworking

I see that Varusteleka box you have there.
Most of these workstations seem to lean more to the light electrical/technical side. I expected to see a lot more carpentry shops than anything since that is probably the easiest DIY category to get into.
They remind me a lot of my father's work stations when he used to work for a telecoms company.
Will post my junkyard later if I manage to clean it up today.
>>895685
Here is a before. We'll see how it looks this afternoon
>>895729

Your workshop is what I expect Masoukis' workshop looks like
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tk0FmoYjasY
I'm moving into this place next week. The pipes across the counter attach to a giant wet/dry vac big enough for me to crawl in. I've seen some miter saws with dust bags, and spent some time in a few woodshops with vacuum systems... Is that all this can be used for? Seems like a lot of fuss to avoid emptying a few dust bags.
>>902727
You've never seen a central vacuum system before? You can use it for dust control, cleaning up spills, anything a regular shop vac can do, it can do, you just don't have lug around a shop vac all over the place.
>>902727
if it vents to outside it's worlds better for your air quality than emptying bags.
