Modding My Modding Bench

[hyper999]

ok so i'm upgrading my electronics/ modding bench a bit and thought i'd post like a bit of a work log

heres the desk/ bench to begin with


heres what used to be on it


and heres the spoils from my trips to ikea and my attic aswell as some other stuff...


now im off to fit some lighting and shelving

[[HoP]]

those lights from ikea are nice. here is a suggestion for something else from ikea

RAIL MOUNT:

PARTS CUPS/TOOL CUPS:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30184446

WIRE BASKET: (holds stuff nicely, I use this in my kitchen)
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90072648

MAGNET KNIFE RACK: (holds screwdrivers, putty knives, etc) - also good for finding screws lost in carpet, however i would use something more powerful

its always nice to have a workstation set up how you like it. Makes modding more fun and more productive.

very nice, I like those parts bins/drawers on the top (under the shelf you soldering iron is on), where'd you find those?

sweet. didn't take you that long to finish setting it up. I like how you have glass down as a working surface

@fookz thats cos i havent moved all my stuff back in yet LOL

@jr they are from ikea but i bought mine a while ago, you might still be able to get them but i couldnt see any yesterday  :/

@HOP its not 100% complete yet but ive got all the main bits in yeh and the glass is also from ikea

I checked online yesterday, I didn't see any there...

If your in for some ideas, I would use this: WOOD DRAWER SLIDE for the middle light, so that you can extend it out for better visibility when needed.

Of course, mount the small side to the desk, and the big side to the light.

Looking great though.

Kuddos on the work bench it looks great, never thought of putting some glass down. Great idea though, mine has holes and burns all over it. You could even find a cheap change drawer and put that on the side to put screws into while taking apart projects. They usually have a curve in them so getting the screws out would be a simple.

Great idea though, mine has holes and burns all over it.

Hyper just 1 tip keep your workstation clean it makes life easy!
