Show us a pic of your workbench/workstation where the magic happens. What kind of surface is your workbench? What kind of desk? etc.

>sander grinder and bandsaws on table
>everything not absolutely covered in dust

You guys don't actually use your workstations do you? I cut some wood for a new table using a mitre saw and now I'm going to be spending the next decade vaccuuming and wiping down every single square inch of surface area in my basement.

Behold the two types of /diy/ers
The electronics hobbyist: >>2958668
He's got a large workbench with a ton of tiny cabinets and drawers to neatly organize every single thing he'll need. In spite of that, it still looks pretty messy.
And the home improvement-vis-a-vis construction enthusiast: >>2958670
He's got an entire room, probably a garage, full of all sorts of potentially dangerous equipment, like saws, drills, and grinders. In spite of that, his workspace looks very neatly organized, with no corner actually looking too crowded or so crammed that it'll become impossible to find something.

I wish I could be like the latter, but really I'm more like the former.

I do everything on the floor in the basement on top of a folded paper grocery bag

Looks very professional. I'm more of a software guy and pretty much a beginner when it comes to hardware, what kinds of projects do you build with that kind of equipment? I guess you expanded it over several years?
>>
>>2958763
NTA, but it looks like a tech's repair workbench based on the random items pictured.

This thread made me realize I have a problem because I'm too embarrassed to post my workspaces.
I have ten separate project/storage rooms on two properties that I need to clean up of all my tools and shit. Guess I'm just lazy, I only like using my rare and precious free time for fun things, not cleaning up all this bullshit.
But I need to get started, it's beginning to drive me crazy.

>>2958697
those are both my posts.

>>2958708
moron those are 2 different boards. one is blue.

>>2958763
started out fixing tube radios. now it's whatever I happen to need to fix. started around 2012 when I got laid off from a job.
>>
>>2958685
did it maybe occur to you that I cleaned it before taking a picture?

Also I clean it after a project is done so future me isn't pissed because he has to clean it before starting the next project.

>it still looks pretty messy.
