This one is almost scary. There is an amazing number of machines crammed into that workshop. There is even more stuff in the drawers down below. Honestly, I sometimes thought that we radio homebrewers would be the worst offenders in this regard, but I see here that most of us are not even close. This guy wins!
At the end, at about the 24 minute mark, he demonstrates the use of a "scissor table" that can be used to bring the item he is working on to the needed height. That is pretty cool, and would be quite useful for those working on really heavy gear -- think DX-100s or R-390As. I have heard of hams installing small cranes in their shacks to move these heavy boatanchors around (they do seem to get heavier with time!). The scissor table would take care of this.
After showing the scissor table, he hits a button and an empty work table top drops from the ceiling to cover the scissor table. Very cool. Very useful.
One note of caution. I found myself worried about all those propane torches that he seemed to have stashed in odd corners of the workshop. I would be worried about the danger of fire. It might be wise to add a fire suppression sytem to the impressive inventory of geat in that shed.
Sorry for that nanny-state suggestion. That said, this workshop is magnificent. Three cheers for the owner.
