My offering for #WorkbenchWednesday is my garage "shop" workbench. This has been a slow build over the last 12 or so years, but it's been home-base for all the woodwork stuff for my shack, misc. home repairs, some of our model rocket work, and the bigger and messier parts of all my various DIY projects.

This is about as clean as it gets, having just been tidied up this past weekend 😀

Cleaned up my shack this evening, and the garage last weekend, so I'll be ready for #WorkBenchWednesday pictures😀

I technically missed #WorkbenchWednesday but since it's cleaner at the moment than it usually is....

It's #WorkbenchWednesday

My bench space in my shack is small, so while it's cluttered, I'm forced to clean it off between projects. Right now it's mostly hot tools on it related to swapping out and updating my radio and antenna patch panel.

Sharing a project that recently left my workshop after far too many months: this ceramic piece was quite challenging mentally for me, and I had huge imposter syndrome about the whole thing.

I don't like sculpting hands, so the lass with the missing digits frightened me no end (I did okay in the end). I also needed to combine aluminium mesh and putties to recreate the sash, which was a pain in the bum.

Here are a couple of (slightly haunting) antique #gnomes I had on my workbench recently.

They'd been living outdoors for a brief time and they really, really didn't like that: one had frost damage (losses to the face, hand, and back of the head/hat) and both were dirty and had flaking paint all over.

After a bit of a clean, some reconstruction, consolidation of existing paint, and re-touching of repairs they look much happier!

@AF0AJ in addition to #Shackturday, I think we should also start #WorkbenchWednesday to share pics of the current state of our various workbenches. (I'll snag a shack pic and post when I can get down there later on😀)
@westwood9903 we should bring back #WorkbenchWednesday

Control board assembled, except for the pin header connectors. I the LED works; still need to test the opamp that buffers the external reset signal.

I’ve learned that all those little jumpers between veroboard pads are almost as annoying as cutting pads on a continuous stripboard. I’ll probably make another one of these (MOAR LFOS) and use the mill to cut the pads for me.

I actually have a (physical) project going for #WorkbenchWednesday! After several iterations on the stripboard design, I’m ready to build the Cha Cha VCLFO from https://github.com/musicdevghost/eurorack/tree/main/Cha%20Cha%20-%20VCLFO. Ran a test mill of the board today and will start assembly tomorrow. #SynthDIY
