We covered Ben Hase's workbench earlier this week, focusing on his findings about glue, fusible resistors, and relays.
This is a more complete look at his workshop.
-- Very useful were his descriptions of his "daily driver" 'scopes and sig gens.
-- I like the fingers for the patch cords.
-- It was nice that he has one analog 'scope.
-- WOW, HE HAS A KLH RECEIVER. SO DO I! ROGIER SENT IT TO ME!
-- His use of Scan-Snap is potenially useful for us.
-- I like his organization of parts bins.
-- His use of the "tray truck" is ingenious.
-- He has a good chair. I note that he has a physical therapy T-shirt.
-- His obvious devotion to HAKKO soldering tools is understandable.
-- He has the obligatory drawer full of Fluke meters.
We covered Ben's workshop when he was in Manhattan: https://soldersmoke.blogspot.com/2024/06/another-great-workshop.html
It is great to see that he has more room now. His acknowledgment of his wife's support was very nice.
In this video, Ben visits Matt in the Pacific Northwest and swaps ideas on workbench construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ0rupOQKvE
And in this one we see Ben's work on a badly mangled Sansui receiver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w-wH4CGeT0
With a workshop like that, Ben should be a ham. A homebrewer.
Well, that tray truck is very smart! I need that to hold projects in-work. I’m always waiting for some part(s) to arrive. And Russian germanium transistors from Ukraine take a while. (For older transistor radios). Heck, I’d use the top tray for meters and small test gear.
ReplyDeleteReally cool. I wish I could figure out to subscribe. I tried the patreon link, but they wanted cash.
ReplyDeleteFrom the blog, in the video, click on Watch on YouTube. Then, look just below the video for the SUBSCRIBE button in black. Click on that and you will be subscribed. Go a step further and click on the bell -- now you will get an alert when he puts out a new video. Hope this helps, 73 Bill
DeleteThanks for sharing. Awesome bench. Loved the patch panel.
