The one with the most toys isn't necessarily the one who wins. Richard Feynman told the tale of the labs at MIT and Princeton. In those early days of nuclear physics MIT was comparatively better funded, extremely well equipped yet the research work was uninspired and non-creative. The lab at Princeton had a sparceness of toys, there were power cords runnig everywhere, bare bulbs illuminating the labs, etc. Challenged by their environment the Princeton guys excelled.

Well I was talking on a personal level. You gotta have lots of tools gear fancy measuring instruments etc. Thats what impresses people.
A mans garage / bench is judged by his stuff even if he never uses it.

i have a small path running through the garage to the garbage pails -- i also have two cars and a 17' O'Day sitting on the rear lawn -- we are truly the white-trash of our neighborhood. you can't see the two standby generators, wood chipper, snow-blower or lawnmower -- our electricity is the worst in the civilized world:

The Dewalt box in the background is what is impressive.
New tools good uuunnngghhh.

it's a DeWalt cutoff saw -- useful for repairing old cars -- absolutely must wear polycarbonate safety goggles with it.

My workbench is where I live, have to be really careful not to boil wires instead of spaghetti

I guess more space isn't the solution, it'll only be filled with other stuff in no time....

Tomato sauce make the wires go down a little easier. Small gauge is a little chewy though.

Chewy shall be the least of my worries, did you ever wake up in bed by 220 volts running through your toes?

I did...
