C'mon now Magnus.... FINISH the job.

In fact, a lot of stuff can be had by going DIRECTLY to the dumpster... I cannot
pass one (in a technical park area) without a quick look inside.  I got a whole
lab
worth of SMT components on reels... and if I had arrived earlier I would have had
the entire LINE (reflow and all)... but other bottom feeders had trashed it to get
whatever
stainless steel the could.

A workbench should be easy....

I like to put a sheet of metal under my piece of masonite...and ground it to my
power
supply. It makes for a pretty quiet environment that closely simulates what the
circuit
might work like inside a metal BOX (which I usually put my stuff in...)
