What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

When trying to do the wiring of a vero build, I'm always like ...

Populated a Chalumeau, General Tso, Timbreman and a Good Vibes. Socketed the vactrols (with various socket measures which didn't quite work perfectly, but they will do), and realized I'm missing MPSA18's for the Good Vibes - I have ordered 15 from Tayda, but apparently used them all I guess. Thought I had ordered some from LCSC too, but apparently not - plus the downside with that site is that I don't think order summaries are available forever, and they are not included in the emails.

For the 1N34A in Timbreman I used something that I'm pretty sure I bought as 1N34A's from a small shady (as in "it sure looks legit but it's obviously just some guy who set up a shitty cheap storefront online 5 years ago") seller who also doesn't send out order confirmations. But it measured as a diode and seemed germanium (measurement changed if I heated a bit with my fingers), so it will probably do just fine.

I'll try to wire the clean switch mod into the chalumeau too.

Edit: Apparently 2N5089 might be a decent alternative for MPSA18, at least if it measures high-ish, maybe I'll check some of mine out or just wait (or do another Tayda order), I ordered some of the vactrols from Aliexpress someone said worked fine in their Good Vibes and those aren't here yet either. Will have to see.

They are not always. They are often sold out.

I wouldn't say that they are the most durable. I have never received one that was dead on arrival and they're definitely better than the planet waves ones I have had the misfortune of acquiring. But if your gear doesn't shift much then yea I think they're worth the $0.88
 
Unusual project on my bench (temporarily hanging for a photo):

IMG_0078.jpeg
Some of my work time got assigned to my university makerspace. I decided to try my hand at putting together a “prusacaster” for a professional development project. I’m almost done with the printing. I need to remove some epoxy squeeze-out and get everything wired up. I went a bit off script from the original design and required some strategic reinforcement under the bridge. Really hoping I lined everything up properly (plastic is a lot more slippery than wood when you try to clamp it!). I’m eventually going to try winding some pickups for it. Just need to build a winding machine.

is that a 3d printed hand? or traditionally printed hand?
