Sweet, and well lit!

I like deeper benches. Those would be a bit tight for some of the stuff I fiddle with.

All it takes is time and money, lots of time and lots of money. Oh and being single would probably help :)

Wow, this guy is hardcore. That's about what I want my barn to look like, after I build a barn.

Good God!

I've been in small businesses and medium size ones that weren't that well equipped!

Well done..

Anyone else want to show us their workspaces.

No cleanups allowed.

Here's the mini-lab in my office. All my engineers have a similar setup, and we have a big shared lab where we put everything together.

Wow!

The machine shop looks too clean. Where are all the chips?

Her Royal Highness won't let that happen in a million years! So I have to make do with my 4 square meters :-( Actually, funny enough, when we got the house it already had the garage nearly converted into a room, we ripped the gyrocked walls out and turned it back into a garage!

and now it's got two cars and my lab:

And we have two spare bedrooms too that must remain empty and clean by order of Her Royal Highness!

Because I have a video blog, you get a personal video tour of my lab!

Sorry, I cleaned up first ;-)

Tsk, tsk! I can see floor!

This photo is close enough to current:

It's not a workshop unless it's a dank, musty basement. ;-)

Incidentially, I see Maxon used a lot of leveller for his basement floor.. if we were to level the ancient floor here, it would take cement trucks to do it. It would also make you scrape your head on the ceiling...

My desk is so cluttered, I use the term "deskalanche" to describe what often happens on it.

You can still see my floor though - there's a path from the door to my chair, surrounded by digikey boxes :-)

Over the years, I have seen very many homes where the internal garage has been converted into an extra room, never until now have I seen one converted back :), though what you have with your lab is a very efficient use of the available space.

We built a 12m x 7m shed in the backyard, (google street view conveniently showed up while the concretors were there doing the path, and while there was still builders stuff sitting on the footpath) parked the cars in there, that freed up the house double garage area for a substantial workshop space. (due to the amount of paying work increasing steadily, the space was needed). The shed was also good for getting other stuff out of the workshop, like the mower, gardening stuff etc. as well as "junk" that tends to get stored for years before finally being tossed out. I keep getting tempted by the idea of putting a basic home gym in part of the shed too, but that will be for later.

Should put some pics up someday

Same :).

I am 90% sure that she would let me if I had to, but unless it was really really essential, out of respect for her I wouldn't push the matter.

an engineer with OCD ? Or maybe its wife related ? ;)

Must have kicked the missus out to do that to the kitchen :)
