And my lab, before it got messy.
Cupboards are IKEA Udden before it was completely discontinued.
My were from the very last production lot.

Could not resist to join in.

A friend said it will outlast me for sure.

I might have said that ;-)
And how many BTUs was that central heater?

 

[EUVL]

Stefan did.
And you have seen it in real.

Here is our small parts storage cabinet made by Lista. Each drawer has completely configurable modular dividers.

Guys where are all your trinkets?

I hear ya. I have lots of cupboard space but being a mad scientist kinda foodie, I have way too many pots, pans, gadgets, trinkets - you name it, to actually hide the stuff. I have to store some of it in the livingroom. The Mrs. really likes that.

Go on Cal...show 'em your goodies...[NOT the ones near the leak!!!]

Here's the northwest corner and the southwest corner of my workshop. I scored a used, eyepiece-less stereoscopic microscope, on eBay, which is great for soldering surface mount PCBs by hand. (link to mfr website) . You can just barely see the Audio Precision 2322 (not working at the moment) in the 2nd photo.

Mark -- Very nice. I'm putting in a new workshop and was wondering about what to do with the corner. What are you using for bench tops?

I'm looking for ideas before I wrap-up that project - I don't want to redo it and probably over-thinking it. Everybody's photos really help.

Thanks
Phil

Mine's "Galant" from Ikea. They sell corner units that attach to extenders on either side, with a very rigid attachments. My workbench is a horseshoe shape with two corner units and three straight sides along the walls. I chose the white ABS plastic option for the desktops, which provides a nice high contrast when you drop a part and need to hunt for it. You can see three black TO92 parts, taped to the desk, immediately to the left of the roll of blue masking tape. Those little bitty parts are quite visible thanks to the color contrast.

I noticed those TO92's right off which convinced me I needed those white tops. That blue masking tape looks very familiar. Thanks!

True, the four of them were close to $800,000 in tuitions alone.

Ouch, and I thought I have a big student loan to pay.

Scott W. will recognize the square coaster next to the spool of black insulated wire.

In the last 18 years Ikea has really taken hold in the states. I remember the branch opening in Chicagoland when I lived there and it was the main item on the evening news!

We're replacing all our cabinets with them next month. The stuff the builder put in 5yr. ago when this place was built is simply non-functional. As with woodworking, cooking, painting, etc. the fancy tools are not a substitute for the talent/passion of the user. We used to accuse our Chinese painting instructor of having secret "magic" brushes that just didn't "behave" like ours.

Can't quite resolve it?

So that's what they do at MIT... make coasters... Wonder if they do candles too?

That's really neat... And - something actually sensible in the daily mail...
