Since creating the Electronics Workbench Flickr group<\/a> last November, I have received lots and lots of really amazing submissions from electronics hobbyists and professionals around the world.<\/p>\n

My two biggest takeaways so far? I do not own nearly enough test equipment, and my shop is not nearly as well-organized or space-efficient as it could be (I need to use all available wall space and build up<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Here are a few of my favorite images from the group:<\/p>\n

Joe Grand (of Prototype This!<\/a> and Grand Idea Studio<\/a>) and his awesome electronics workshop:

blalor<\/a> turned his BMW into a temporary workshop, and his passenger seat is the electronics workbench (note the laptop perched on the dash):

eschlaep<\/a> (Eric Schlaepfer of tubetime.us<\/a>) submitted this moody shot of a CRT project in progress:

Looks like *someone*<\/strong> has a Tektronix fetish. Beautiful setup by Alan (W2AEW)<\/a>:

More scope envy, of both the oscillo- and micro- kinds (Thanks Mgburr<\/a>!):
\n\"Workbench_A\"<\/a><\/p>\n

embeddederic<\/a> sent in this picture of his workbench. Note the Tek 491 spectrum analyzer up top, 10MHz – 12GHz with 1950s(?) technology:
\n\"HPIM3047\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And lastly, check out this awesome workbench panorama by anachrocomputer<\/a> (best viewed large<\/a>):
\n\"Lab<\/a>
\nSee if you can spot the Tektronix 575 curve tracer<\/a>!<\/p>\n

There are lots more great photos in the group photo pool<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Do you have an electronics workbench that you’re proud of? Snap a photo and share it with the group<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
