    As I've previously said and you(s) must have notice by now I luv picture
    posting, posting pictures and the more the merry ...

    ... And I really like when others do

    This time I'd luv to see all YOUR work spaces, work benches and/or
    computer desks w/ of course your collection of favorite fancy dandy
    super-duper COOL tools. Not that I like living vicariously through others
    I just find this stuff fascinatingly interesting and not that I'm stealing
    your idea's but I do get allot a good ideas for my own Den-of-Man space ...

    ... So post away let's see don't be shy

    [hr]

    Here's me, I live in an apartment building so my space is meager. MySpace
    only consists of a few desk's but I ain't got no wife to clutter the place up
    with girlie stuff!  :eek: True but J/K ;D

    [hr]

    My Desk's
    • Teh DESK (OK Table) of Computing
              [​IMG]

    • ZEN Desk of teh HEX-Driver
              [​IMG]


    My favorite Electronical Tools
              [​IMG]

    • Sound Pressure Level Meters (dBA/dBC pdf)
              [​IMG]    [​IMG]  Appzilla (FREE) iPod/iPhone

              [​IMG]

              [​IMG]
    • Digital Temperature Gauge and the (old-school) Pitch Gauge
              [​IMG]

    • AOYUE Int 2900 Soldering Station: 70 watt / 220-480°C / ESD-Safe
      Best investment I ever made given I only spent $100.oo USD which replaced
      my (old dinosaur) 17 watt Soldering Iron. Life is good w/ a Soldering Station! 
          [​IMG]
    • Gateway TopLap w/ SAMSUNG SyncMaster 931[size=0.7em]BW[/size] Monitor and
      OWON Digital 25Mhz Ossillascope. The "Oscilloscope" is one COOL-Tool
      but so NOT needed. I just so wanted ONE which leads back to "needed"
      which leads to "Great Brain Food!" which leads to "Happy" w00d
              [​IMG]


    My favorite Hand Tools
    • Crimp Tool: Servo Connectors - Great investment only because I hate
      with a passion Servo-Extensions. Yes they are not only for repairing but also an
      excellent tool for cleaning messy wiring by doing away with the need for the
      dreaded Servo-Extension
              [​IMG]

    • Crimp Tool: Anderson PowerPole Connectors for battery (LiPo) connections.
      Another great investment, very much easier to deal with as there is NO soldering.
      Which is very unlike the old-school DEAN connectors
              [​IMG]

    • Digital Callipers w/ Funny story: Was listed for $12us which was the retailers
      mistake because the actual price was $39us and this was even a RIP. They usually
      go for $20us elsewhere ... I got em for the "listed" price of $12us, w00t go w00d
              [​IMG]

    • MacGyver Inspired: Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Fly-bar Leveller/Lock
              [​IMG]

    • Blade Balancer: $5.oo USD, just another great deal
              [​IMG]


    AND for [size=1.35em]ALL-TIME[/size] My Favourite MAN-Space w/ decorative Heli-ART of course


              [​IMG]


    Thanks for looking (TFL)

    This was my "man space" last year.
    It's still basically the same except...
    The super cub is no more and it's difficult to seee the bench top because of all of the Traxxas slash 4x4 parts.

    Finally figured it out!

    [size=1.35em]After enduring about 2 hours of bitter cold in the garage, I can finally see the top of my work bench. WaHoo![/size]
    [size=1.35em]Tomorrow, I intend to return to that 400 square foot refrigerator with a borrowed propane heater to reclaim my man space #2. (man space #1 being the area in the spare room that I share with my wife's sewing stuff.)[/size]
    [size=1.35em]I'm sure she'll be happy to get to her hobby stuff without stepping through my RC hobby stuff.[/size]

    [size=1.35em]My man space #1 contains my desk, PC and assorted computer things as well as a Mac Pro G5 on loan from my neighbor. I've been doing some cleanup and maintenance things getting it ready to sell.[/size]

    [size=1.35em]Getting back to space #2... I have amassed several projects that I will get started on as soon as the space is habitable. [/size]

    [size=1.35em]Listed in order of priority:[/size]
    [size=1.35em]  TriCopter - Open Pilot CC[/size]
    [size=1.35em]  Slash 2wd Sand Rail - Velineon 3500 [/size]
