I don't think anyone could tell him much of anything...
What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Super glue + clamp.
Block sanded from 120 down to 2000. It's gone!
Next up I'll burnish the back of the next and finish it with some True Oil.

Successfully drilled tuner holes and installed without cracking the headstock! I was perhaps the most worried about this step so very relieved to be past it. Shout out to screw wax!
They're practically straight!

Had to share this high tech winding machine.

Looks fantabulous!

Not so much a workbench, but scratch and dent sales plus early 80s speakers from an old friend. Hooked up the stepson with a receiver, turntable, and once the TOS link cable arrives, will slap in an older Blu-ray player.
The boy prefers physical media over digital, and somehow managed to pick up several crates of LPs and has both his mom’s and my Dad’s CD collection.

New 3 Band Onboard Preamp:
This one has both a passive tone control and an active boost/cut treble section working together, passive control is full up from noon on and then starts cutting below noon.

Owning your eff-ups:
Patentably boneheaded. Right here. Yup.
For the price of a good soldering station you can get one that is both the soldering wand and a 1950's electrothanasia ray gun.
Err. Sorry . Desoldering station.
Zaps a bad decision like nothing you've ever seen unless'n you've seen it.
( When it disintegrates, brother does it disintegrate )
Might be the best $130 I've spent on electronics work.
Most passives come away so clean they drop right in another project. Sockets come out clean. Pin headers can be salvaged.
The debris field is from the last 24 hours as I managed to destroy and replicate days of work in one day. I do not recommend the activity.

Okay. Seeing your workstation makes me feel better about my disorganized cluster of a work area.

I’ve got one from the same brand (gun only not the iron combo deal). I got it to replace a bunch of ICs on an old synthesizer, and it was worth every penny. What a joy those things are to use.
Actually haven’t used it on pedals that much. For clearing a hole I filled by mistake, or swapping one resistor, I still usually just reach for the braid.

This forum has earned a "warts and all" view. This *is* organized. A place for everything, nothing in that place.

Wrong kind of pedals again but she's done. Chinarello Catma.

I forget if you said earlier - what’s she in for?

It needs some new and missing parts. Belts, tensioner (or whatever that felt arm is called that holds the tape to the head), and some general TLC. He’s like a grounded plug put on as well and probably new tubes.
