What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

This damn Fuzzrite...I replaced the footswitch and then the volume knob stopped working. Replaced that and also fixed the Bass knob, which I'd wired backwards. Ok, everything works, sounds great but then...

Son of a bitch! I hate these stupid knurled pots, the only reason I used them is so I could use these knobs from my Epiphone.
Of course the only A500k pots left have a longer shaft.

You may ask, can't you just add a nut or washer on the inside?

I bet that shaft material is pretty soft. Shortening that shaft with a file might not take that long.
 
Not my workbench per se but this is vicariously on my bench. Commissioned a builder to convert an Epi SG short scale bass to 6 string baritone / Bass VI and he’s trucking along

Edit: some build notes
- gotoh gb350 lightweight bass tuners
- I think grover ? TOM bridge and tail piece
- will be getting EMG 60AX for the neck and 81X for the bridge
