Packing Up The Lab

[Michael Rothacher]

Life happens, as they say. We’re getting ready to move, so I’m packing up the lab today. I’ll probably be out of commission for awhile. Still reading email and glad to help if you have questions, though I may be a little slower than usual to respond. Hopefully, later this Fall I’ll have a workbench again.

take care , Mr. MR

hope you're moving to better

One of the best lab work bench in Ohio close that sad news
hope quickly the new one open ?
I was looking on V-fetron and other Audiohobby IXFN and 2SK77B diy builds.
Keep strong !

I'm looking forward to seeing your new workbench on Youtube.

Yes, please document the thought and process involved with your new setup. When you get there. Have a safe and successful move.

 

[wdecho]

Look forward to seeing you up and experimenting again.

Yes moving is terrible. I'm moving too and everything has to come to a standstill. Maybe a couple of months or more lost !

 

[Gyuri]

After 13 years of moving, I haven't found some things yet.
So, don't give up!

Like I told you, you need to move out to the coast.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

Oh man, believe me, if I could make that happen I would

NEW suggestions ?

I'm staring at an empty room with one large window opposite to the door. Was wondering how I should set it up as my work room. Bookshelves to the ceiling on the left wall with a work space ( narrow one) all the way from the door to the opposite wall.
The main work area on the right side with equipment , computer and work bench etc.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

Sounds good, I'm hoping to keep test & measurement separated a little from solder and assembly this time. ...hoping.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

Or at the very least keep soldering, assembly, test , and measurement away from food preparation, and playing board games.

Hmm....yes. That is important. Keeping assembly and test area far apart might be tough. Especially if the item built is heavy . What about a trolley which you can roll around ? Assemble on it and move it where ever you want ! No need to remove anything from it. Solder stuff can be in a try below the unit including tools. Test equipment can be on shelves and not very deep. Almost like a partially detachable table !
Wheeling it to the listening room/location can be easy and painless.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

I just have a big L-shaped workbench plan, one end of the L is flat for soldering and assembly and the other end has a shelf for test equipment. I'm going to keep it simple this time, and everything not frequently used gets shoved into a closet.

One day this will be a workshop...

 

[Michael Rothacher]

And this will be a listening room...

 

[Bones13]

Nice looking rooms. Lots of potential.

I was wondering what was keeping you so quiet...
