Thought an insight into our different workshops would be fun. My wife Kimbra has been nice enough to have me relegated to our spare room called "The Computer Room". In this room I do just about everything for robotics except saw metal. I seem to be always vacuuming up shards of solder , plastic and Metal.
I just try and dremel into a large box to contain the mess. It still gets everywhere if I use the cutting drill bit instead of the cutting disk.
Great workshops guys, I wish I had half the tools you have - like DJ, I try to make it a habit of keeping things tidy. I vacuum the room after a build so the kids don't get bits of plastic, tin and solder flakes stuck in their feet. I came across a pic of the famouse inventor Thomas Edisons workshop. - WOW - He must have had a team of people putting things back and keeping it tidy.
The man kitchen
Just a kitchen / dining room and my dual desks in my room. I really don't do much in the room though.Cool setup jstarne1 - I wish I had a beer fridge and a servant robot in the room. I think the key is to be comfortable, be able to find things when you need them and have a robot bring you refreshments. Fat chance I'm ever going to achieve my last 2 wishes.
I actually made a video of mine a couple of months ago:
It was really dark when i recorded the video, here are some better pictures:
Mine is a desk in the corner of the bedroom, however I do have my garage for the messy bits.
Hey Niek, cool set-up, I think these workshops illustrate we are all a bunch of frustrated mad scientists but who knows, the ultimate Robot may not be far away...I think it was Windston Churchill who said "Give me the tools and I'll finish the job". I'm really only speaking for myself about the mad scientist remark...lol
