PICS of your WORKSHOP!

Dean · Oct 12, 2004

Well, I know my "workshop" is a complete shithouse at the moment, but I think I'm setup pretty well to do lots o'modding.

So here are some pics of my setup, which was moved to the garage about 2 months ago (got too messy for the house).

Key items in the 'shop:
- 3 cases of miscellaneous audio/video mounts, resistors, caps, switches, encoders, etc
- Dewalt 14.4 drill with 2 different Unibits
- Dremel with high speed cutting bit
- Hot glue gun
- about 6 files
- switchable 15/30W soldering iron
- desoldering iron with bulb
- fume hood = really helps keep the air clean by your face
- Multimeter
- many spools of wrapping wire, 18/22/24 gauges of wire
- lots of electrical tape
- multibit screwdriver including security bits for NEC hardware
- and a good lamp

What does your work area look like? *patiently awaits Kurtz to show the goods*

Mine looks like yours but even less organized...

SHit I got half of my parts for 4 AES systems at my Workstation and the other half of them in storage at my moms house.

Takes me an hour to find anything.

What is the NeoBitz Proto in your third picture? Is it some sort of hardware to play homebrew games?

omnedon · Oct 12, 2004

Thanks D-Lite!

Your junkyard has given me the courage to share my gawdawful mess. :glee:

Pics will come soon.

That's a nice setup you have there D-Lite. I like how everything is close to you.

It seems like the more you work with this stuff, the more "Shit" that acuulates....

Console PSU's, cases and cables. Tons of wires that you refuse to throw out.

I gotta clean my study/shop

omnedon · Oct 12, 2004

No one will believe it after these pics, but I throw stuff out regularly, though it's time again.

Tomorrow's To Do:

Old School Gamer property "To Do and parts":

The bench where cosoles get brought back to life, an um.. occasionally die on the table

:

Highlight of my tools there is my new desoldering station that I freaking loooove. It's the blue VCR sized tool on the right. Many cubbies of various eeproms (Uni 2.0's awaiting installs, CV BIOS mods), and TIA's, and joystick switches and more. My friend says I need a fume hood like D-Lite before I get lung cancer. :spock:

This is all of the connected consoles. pull one out, instant test dock:

testing software:

And the reason why I do it at all:

the scary thing is, there is still more junkyard stuff not in the pic. :emb:

I hope too_short doesn't see these pics ... :oh_no:

Arcademan · Oct 12, 2004

Impressive pictures...of course as most people know, workshops are some of the messiest places around. Though they look disorganized, those who have them most likely know where every single item are kept :loco:

ttooddddyy · Oct 12, 2004

Here is the workshop I run, the office is off to the left. I have 6 techs carrying out mainly audio visual repairs. It could do with a bit of a tidy up, but workshops soon clutter up with all manner of junk in no time.
I work on my boards/projects here in the evenings.

RiotoftheBlood · Oct 13, 2004

Nice topic... I was thinking of starting the same awhile back. I'm in the process of cleaning my shop up now, so I'll reply when I'm done... late or not!

ToeJam · Oct 13, 2004

I hope you don't plan on moving Omnedon. Also,

I do not want to know how much you spent on all that stuff.

Oh yeah if you're getting rid of some of those XBOXes can I get one?

omnedon · Oct 13, 2004

Those are customers Xboxes.

norton9478 · Oct 13, 2004

does anyone here do this type of stuff full time?

If I remember, Toddy works in a similar industry. The way D-Lite is going, it's like he's got two full time jobs.

El Capitan · Oct 13, 2004

Neo related jobs?
I think Rot is doing a Neo-Geo chat-a-thon to raise money.
Does that count?

Yeah, no kidding. Basically I work my day job as a chemist to fund my hobbies. 9-6pm at work, lots of family time from 6-9pm, then basically 10-2AM a few nights a week in the shop.

norton9478 · Oct 13, 2004

Shit If I lived In san fran, I'd need two jobs just to pay the rent.....

I just do my mods/sales and stuff just so I can say shit to myself like "I used to have that game/system/whatever".

I really don't make any money, Any profits I make goes to paying off newer/better tools or into buying items to test various theories on. I have no real electronics/craftmanship background and I burn up alot of stuff or waste alot of parts and old consoles.

My biggest problem is the fact that my girl wants more time with me and is always competing for time with my "Geek Projects". She is going to be working opposite shifts with me now So that should clear up some of the "Problems".

Does anyone else's girl/guy threaten to leave them if They don't spend more time with them?

Side Note:
I wanna see Kenny Perry's setup.

Yes, the missus gives me heaps of shit too. Except when she sees how much I can make if I'm in full swing.

I think you meant that you wanna see Jeff Kurtz's setup. :drool:

norton9478 · Oct 13, 2004

My favorite phrase is:

STFU Bitch how you think the grocerys get paid!!!!!!

I'm workin on a new neo mod that Isn't all that inovative and builds upon pre-existing mods but is a good idea.

I just get to caught up in doin work for other people to be able to do my own ideas.

Then I got some good ideas kicking around that's I'm two lazy to get started on.

c.t.h · Oct 13, 2004

Whoa. Alot of stuff going on in some of those pictures.

I work in electronics for the steel industry. Everyone calls us "Systems". We do audio equipment, video, radiation thickness measurement, motor control, PLCs, lasers...

I can swap out a 72-pin connector in an nes, nothing more. My workstation is a chair with a bong and a bag of chips next to it.
