[sdiy] Pictures, mug shots, rougue's galary

[Batz Goodfortune]

Y-ellow all.
         Since we're in the mood, I've posted some shots to my web site. 
Taken with my shitty el-cheapo digital camera.

here     http://all-electric.com/workshop    you'll find 5 really blurry 
pictures I took last night. However if you look in a sub-directory called 
"tripodshots" <http://all-electric.com/workshop/tripodshots> you'll find 20 
or so pix I took this afternoon using a crappy tripod which are far less 
blurry. And they show in somewhat more brutal detail, the lengths I'll go 
to to make a mess.

If any of you were thinking I was joking about using the blower/vac in here 
I can assure you it's true. And even then it wouldn't pick up the peanuts 
and dropped screws on the floor.

Like my soul brother, Terry Bowman, I suffer ADD. Attention Deficit 
Disorder. We ADD people are usually surrounded by what they call "Stacks." 
That is piles of "THINGS" stacked one on top of the other. Unfinished 
project on top of unfinished project. On the other hand, I find being 
surrounded by all my shit is somehow inspirational. Suddenly I can be 
looking at something for no reason and have that eureka experience. 
Sometimes I just look at it and think. "Fuck. I really should clean this 
shit up."

I re-designed nearly the whole place in the past couple of years. I built 
the workbench to die for. Heaps of space. A metre deep and nearly 3 metres 
wide. Has plenty of power outlets. Most isolated from the mains by a 10 amp 
isolation transformer. Built in variac. +120 volt supply. Plenty of storage 
space. It's own computer. Audio test monitoring and of course a PSU or two. 
I got a tool trolly so I'd keep my tools nice and neat. I built a huge 
storage rack to keep all my components in. Including a couple of fold-out 
wire bins. Everything one could need for happy, productive DIY-ing.


Didn't fuckin' work did it!

You know you're workshop is in a mess when you have to put GPS on your 
soldering iron.

For completeness there are also some photos of the studio end of the 
workshop. Including some with the lights down so you can see the xmas tree 
effect. And a couple of shots of what I call. "The admin area" where I'm 
sitting now. I couldn't take any shots of that last night because I 
couldn't get the camera in a suitable position.

So, anyway, if you've got the bandwidth, you can download 20 pics of my 
current shit-heap. I'll clean it up eventually. I promise.

Be absolutely Icebox.
