What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

I also still need to finish this. My taxes are usually pretty easy (just one W2 and some other random small things) but this year I have been procrastinating really hard.

Being self employed it's gotten harder and harder for me over the years. I've learned to just bring it to the professionals for professional results. They're always changing the tax laws and I don't want to have to keep up with that. The peace of mind I get from not having to worry about getting a letter from the IRS is totally worth it. We got our taxes done on Saturday and I'm STOKED I got the 30% tax credit for our heat pump. Oh yeah!!! That money is now BURNING a hole in my pocket for some reason!

I also need to claim tax credits for my new electrical panel and new house insulation. Was it hard to get these IRA credits?

Those look amazing! What are you using to paint them? Spray paint? Something else question

Yeah, I get the best results with Rust-oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultracover Paint/Primer. The stuff is amazing. It'll give you an appliance grade finish with just a few coats, and you have to spray it on really thick before it starts running. You can get it at Home Depot.

I found some Duplicolor brands cans of industrial paint at a discount store last year that are similar. Industrial Gray is the best I can describe it. Sounds very similar. Had a very 50s test equipment/military look to it.
Really like it.
 
Turns out I'm not the only crazy lunatic who tries to fill up every little space on a PCB. This is a section from an old RME Fireface 800 main board that I'm using as an organ donor. To fix a Behringer device, of all things!

Starting a Phase Delay for a friend with the XC Phase and Madbean’s Skoolie. I wanted to use his new Anamorph, but I don’t think I can get them both to fit in a 1590xx, especially if I add an order switcher, which I probably won’t do anyway.

After building a zonk machine on vero I've moved onto a tone bender mk1. I think I'm going to work through the tone bender family on vero and see which one suits me best and then build it properly.

After playing with transistors for a bit and then losing nearly two hours playing my first real thought with the Mk1 is "where have you been all my life?" it's definitely not perfect but damn a tele into a Mk1 into a cooking Marshall is

I know it's messy but it's good enough to let me know if I like it or not. I'm definitely preferring a mk1 to the zonk.
