Tools to the right, parts to the left. My workbench has two modes; overly organized, and chaotic + crowded. When I dive into a project, there tends to be five or six working 'threads' competing for resources and attention. Each subtask takes on a life of its own, and the clash of these efforts looks like this. Trust me though; it's a symphony, and my mind is in a focused fugue-state when I'm buried in this. Amusingly, the various steps and components each have a distinct synesthesia-esque voice in my head. Sadly, I get occasionally interrupted by real-life (tm) and then it all comes crashing to a halt and sometime later I have to painfully rebuild that original mental state in order to have *any* hope of remembering where all these tiny parts came from. Its like coding or math. This is why I photograph, sketch and document project steps so obsessively.
Printed circuit board that should be equivalent to the breadboard that displayed The Eight Colors. It'll be much smaller and neater, about two and a half inches square and with a minimum of actual wires - it'll be mostly low-profile surface mount stuff like on this board.
It's a bit goofier than most boards I make, because I think the recipient will appreciate that.
Everything is mirror-image because you have to do that to get the boards right. What you see here gets laser-printed onto the Special Blue Stuff, then applied face-down to the bare copper circuit board and ironed on. When you peel away the Special Blue Stuff, you're left with a mirror image of what was printed, which was a mirror image of what you wanted, so you end up with what you wanted.
I have a terrible grasp of visual/spatial stuff, so I always have to walk myself through that concept.
I'm really not sure how my single-sided, very-thin-long-traces, guestimate-values-for-everything power supply is managing to drive 8 nixies without exploding violently and in my face, but it somehow is. Cool!
update, some minutes later: it says 2008! damnit!
The ATtiny13 is accepting a program, but I've not yet written the program for it! All connections seem fine.
Photos from my rebuild of the Stealth USB Capslocker, using a laser resist etching process. Full writeup available here: macetech.com/blog/node/81
I was commissioned to do some electronics design and build for an art installation to be installed in a gallery in Bristol. It involved building a computer interface module into a box and interfacing it to a light dimmer.
Board has had the 3 capacitors removed at great effort. The method was basically a hot iron (40W) and a LOT of desoldering wick (Soder-Wick brand) and flux.
The Tektronix 475A oscilloscope I got in the mail today, as it might have appeared in a 1977 issue of Popular Electronics.
If this isn't a heavy-gauge slug of Science right in your face, I don't know what is. And I mean that in the most scientifical way.
Shown is the output of the 475A's front panel calibration lug, whose signal is supposed to be 300mV at ~1KHz - and so it seems to be! Both channels seem to work fine and everything!

All the mess I swept together on my workbench. Pieces of hot melt glue, wire, perfboard, stripped isolation, solder dust from the desoldering pump, and even some usable components, can you spot them?
