lets see your toolbox

Desk jobs are over rated. I used to get out in our R&D shop quite a bit running tests and wrenching on machines when I first started as an associate engineer at Caterpillar. Now that I've been promoted a few times I am always at my desk. Only time I get out is when I'm tuning software on machines optimizing performance and visiting customer job sites.. Let me tell you sitting that long is taking it's toll on my back, shoulders, and hands. Typing away at a keyboard and clicking a mouse all day will bring around arthritis too.

Put it this way, when I retire I'll be back out working in the shop.

Tool chest is built in to the bench, trust me, it's full, and so are all the drawers under the bench.

Confession: I haven't seen this much of the work surface in quite a long time. Every few years, I clean it off, give it a light sand and a couple of coats of poly.

The bench was built to house three Craftsman 8-drawer work bench bases, so there's buckets of storage. It's funny when you walk into Sears and want to buy 3 work benches in one fell swoop, they cut me a nice discount.

Old stuff that was sitting idle, so I moved it to the garage. Adcom preamp and tuner, equalizer, 200 wpc power amp I designed and built some time ago, and a Sony CD changer. Drives a pair of KEF speakers on top of the wall cabinets. It's overkill for a garage, but I need regular doses of Mozart to stay sane.
