That saw bench is in the single garage with other crap, including 2 compressors. There is another saw bench in the Guillotine shed, it's a Metal cut off saw, which was the original workshop. 2nd pic is the holder out the door for long lengths of steel :)

This one takes the prize for the most cluttered corner of a workshop and the most cluttered workbench!

Nah... I've seen Basil135s workshop...

In the pic above you can still see some floor!!! :wasntme:

How about a high school woodwork bench?

I scored this up on the weekend... What a PITA ... I managed to back the car trailer under it after slinging it from the middle to lift it with an engine crane (it's VERY heavy) ... Then I did the same thing to get it off in my shed ... The bench top is about probably 4" thick with a plywood top sheet (I guess the idea is you change the top sheet as it gets battered).

It's 4meters long ... it was hell of a job to re-arrange the shed to get it in in 33degree heat. I'll probably have everything put back away by the end of the week though. The only problem is of course it's not really high. If that ever bothers me I'll just throw a couple of railway sleepers under it to lift it up.

That's a pretty tough looking bench but we don't have those sort in our schools. I do actually use an old school woodworking bench by Record. It is serving me well at the moment but of course I have to be careful not to put anything oily on it (put down a sheet of ply first).

It is similar to this:

Still trying to find the time to build the work benches and surfaces I need :(

that's nice .... Who would let high school students near that! :wasntme: It would be a good project for them to actually build that bench though.

My wife bought me one of those scope transformer low voltage irons for my birthday a couple of years back. What a revelation... using something with seemingly endless power that gets very hot, very quickly. I either use that or a gas torch for the bigger chunkier wires.

OMG ... I just looked them up...... She paid $200 for that sucker :eek: :eek: No wonder it works so well:

Wiltronics - 100Watt Superscope Soldering Iron

Highly recommended.

Yep, that's the Big Beastie I started when I was introduced to electrickery... then graduated to the 'miniscope' for fine electronic work (read: 'Solid-State' as compared to 'Thermionic Toobs' :p...)

Worth their weight in 'Unobtanium'.

EDIT:- with the factory-manufactured (?) extra-long cable, were designed to operate from 12V, as in mobile/car battery. Cable merely dropped 8 or so Volt along its length...
Elegant, Economical and 100% reliable feature.
