I'm retired after 30 years in electronics. Started out in the US Navy as an Engineer then went into Comm & Satcom systems. then another 22 years in Consumer TV VCR Cameras CB etc then my last job was in access control, gate systems and DVR-Camera systems. When I bought my house 10 years ago all we had was a satellite dish and a single phone line in the Master BR. Now it has a full distribution system in every roon, Cable TV and local antenna, Gigabit cable modem, Cisco 24 port switch, and 20 cameras. Now..... It's time to get a shop setup again. Since I'm near the ocean again, I'm looking into getting a shop setup for fixing Marine radios, NAV and radar equipment. It may be a hobby for me but I can still recoup some of the costs of my equipment by fixing the NEIGHBOR's stuff.

7:10 I use a system of coordinates on my storage A1, A2, A3… B1, B2, B3…, and I keep a spreadsheet with all the information of every component including the quantity available, the package, and some characteristics like voltage, current, input offset, tolerance, etc. depending on the type of component. This way any new project and I can quickly check what I have available and that needs to be purchased and I no longer have to try to remember what I have or look into a ton of ESD bags stored in different containers it makes a world of difference. It might sound a little bit excessive but after 25 years doing electronics it is worth it. :)

I'm working as a software engineer and I'm often struggling to get any use out of documentation, as it's often outdated or insufficiently detailed. If it works for you that's great but I guess I'm in the camp of "nothing beats holding the parts I need in my hands to check they are there" (at work I look at source code to see what actually happens. Not what's supposed to happen as specified in some document, but what's actually happening).

As long as you can hold them in your hands that's OK the problem starts when you have hundreds of part numbers, that's why a simple spreadsheet is the solution for me :D

And the same is true for code: as long as you can quickly read and understand it, that's great, but once the system gets sufficiently complex you need some documentation. Even outdated one is often better than nothing, as it can serve as a starting point for people new to the project. Functional programming makes it much easier to see what the code does without having to analyse each line, but it still doesn't solve the problem in case of very complex systems. A few years ago I also started numbering my boxes and keeping track of the contents using a spreadsheet. It has already saved me many, many hours of my life, even though it's not perfect and sometimes I forget to put something back in its box or update the spreadsheet.

I'm currently in the process of re-organizing my "lab" myself. I just bought those new drawers for the IKEA Ivar shelves along with the relatively new IKEA Alex cabinets with a door and 1 shelve. Those are the same outside dimensions as the Alex drawer cabinets I already had. So there is now one such drawer cabinet with two of those Alex cabinets with a door stacked on top of eachother (all screwed to the wall). From the IKEA Ekby Alex drawers, I made a stand for on my desk, under my (wall mounted) monitors so I have 2 drawers above my keyboard and fit 2 power supplies under them. On the side of these drawers I mounted two 7 port Anker powered USB3 hubs to have enough USB ports available on my desk for all kinds of projects, test equipment, etc. Each have 3 extra USB ports for charging. The monitors are all wall-mounted. Four 27 inch 4k monitors in total. Three in a row and one above the center one. I do have a Philips Hue Aurelle 120x30cm ceiling light above my electronics desk. The regular price of it is a bit too much, but every now and then it can be bought at a discount. It is really good light to work with. I will have a look at those printable storage sollutions, but not sure where to wall mount it as nearly all my (vertical) walls are now occupied with Ivar shelves and Alex drawers.

Hey, be respectful!

3D printing the naming labels too is a fantastic idea, and I'm def stealing that for my next upgrade - I'm a bit particular when it comes to labelling things around my space, and always get annoyed by stickers falling off or just looking a bit rubbish.

Yeah the ability to basically do “dual shot injection molding” / the even rarer multishot injection molding for *everything* with FDM 3D Printing is WILD. I don’t have a MMU or ERCF yet (or better yet something with a toolchanger), but labels like this / buttons for stuff are going to be an AMAZING capability. Part would break before the “label” would be messed up.

A decade. Wow. I've been a fan from the beginning. Nice lab upgrade. I'm looking forward to seeing what you continue producing. Thank you for your work!

Your new lab is amazing! Watching this video is really therapeutic for me, especially when it comes to organizing every tool and equipment that are readily available on the workbench. I hope I can also customize my own electronics lab in the future. I'll definitely watch this video as a guide!

A local hardware store sold me some component drawers and I'm almost done building up my budget lab. I very much enjoyed the video!

your new workshop and lab look fantastic dude! if i had those i would probably get the energy to make stuff, from just how good they are.

I have been searching good storage/drawer system and now you offered it Thank you

One of the best workshops I have ever seen! 💪

4:26 - They look great. I made my own workbenches as well, and topped them with light colored smooth laminate wood flooring planks. With the blond wood and satin black painted wood frame, in passing it looks like something from a 1990's Ikea catalog. I thought I would have to swap out the laminate often due to wear, but it's held up incredibly well. Makes sense, as it's mean to be walked on. Cleans off with spray cleaner and a paper towel. I wish I would have thought of this years ago.

It’s great 👍🏼 congrats 🎉for the new lab! 🚀

This looks absolutely amazing! 😍

I just finished building a new workshop in my new apartment in Barcelona. Every time I move I incorporate new ideas, just like yours, congrats! One thing though - your 3D filament is going to soak up the moisture in the air. I keep my spools in big ziploc bags with dessicant packs inside and haven't had any problems.

That advise about seperating electrical work from wood/metal is one I should heed. I occasionally solder on my general workbench where there might be some grease left from a previous bicycle project... I don't plan on replacing my small parts storage stuff even though I got a 3d printer - visibility of contents beats tidyness...

You deserver more views and I hope the algorithm will bless you once more. Very nice set up super clean.

It turned out great, congratulations. I have to organize mine too.

some really nice ideas for improving my own workshop. one thing i have to add though: i'd rather choose some high CRI lighting than temp changing one ^^

Sick setup! I'm definitely going to draw some inspiration

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing your recommendations and tips for things! I already have a pretty good work bench but lacked good storage and lighting even though i dont film and i am still a teen doing electronics the tips helped

Superb performance by Great Scott

Wow this gave me alot of ideas for my future room! I love the layout, color matching etc.. everything looks modernized and organized its a dream workshop. The custom selfs are genius, too bad its probably the only thing unavailable to a broke student but amazing job! And cool video!

Perfect timing...I'm in the throws of building a new work desk right now. And aside from the height (mine will be ~80cm), I've been considering all the things you covered here. Storage seems absolutely key, so I'm building built-in shelving to fit dollar-store plastic boxes (because I don't have a 3D printer, lol.) And I'm doing a curtain thing to hide the storage when I'm not using it because my apt is only 250sqft, and the desk alone will be a good 16sqft (23.2 and 1.5 square meters, respectively). Great vid...thanks!

Looks incredible! Great job from Great Scott!

My small home based repair shop grew so fast that I could not keep up with the finishing touches that should be a must. like insulation and wall paneling. I was not prepared for that type of demand. Parts storage is always a huge issue. Your workshop is a dream, and mine is a disaster(very cluttered). But the scale of projects that you do verses mine are quite different. Always enjoy your creativity with everything you show us on your videos. Keep up the great work.

Those wall mounted sockets at the end really caught my eye. Would like to see more about them.

Looks great! You might have issues storing your filament in open air unless the room is humidity controlled

A lot of great improvements. I'll be studying some of them to help improve my workspace. I have that same Dymo label printer. It does a good job for the price. I find that the adhesive for adhering the labels is not as good as it should be though, so I usually cover with a clear tape.

Definitely a dream shop. Well done Scott.

My working space is 5.5m x 8.5m. The space is workshop (carpentry, metalwork), and electrical (radio and test), it's also man-cave (hobbies, leisure, video, 3D printing, refreshments and fridge), maintenance (home, garden, electrics, plumbing, decorating). Worktops and storage very important, also comfort and social area. Look and feel of the place has to be right as does the lighting, day and night. A real labour of love, and I do, I love the space. Even have a log burner as a focal point and keeps me warm in the winter.

Materials question: Does printed plastic have the same strength as molded plastic? I know stress applied over time can cause creep and failure if the material does not have the required elastic strength. I expect material specifications for allowable loads are very dependent on the machine settings and part geometry(different cooling rates lead to different bonding). Your extensive printing will give you lots of perspective on this issue! Thanks for sharing.

Love the orange and black storage parts. Very nice overall. I'm going to go tidy my crappy office now 🙂

I'm also in the process of making the workshop in which I make my electronics videos always better, but the main problem is always the the space is really small and the ceiling is low, so lighting up the space for video is a nightmare!

Well done, that looks like a very nice place to work. it does take a while to get it right, and your needs change over time, but having a workspace that is made your style and reach is important for work flow and efficiency. It helps that it's also a nice place to be, and your new lab looks great. I have a small work room with Ikea kallax to the right and to the left of my bench and that works very well for my needs: I have modules that fit the shelves for different things, and they're easy to swap in and out. I'm a little concerned about the point loads on the screws holding up your printed storage units, as the boards with the keyholes look a bit light for the job: it's hard to tell without feeling the loaded weight and your choice of material though, so it's just an observation. If you do feel it needs reinforcing then a support strip screwed to the wall under the unit could take most of the weight without adding a lot of visual clutter. I'm looking forward to some more projects from your workshop now, as you have great ideas and a fine eye for detail that I think will scale well. Thanks!

Looking like a great functional space! The print time on those organisers was insane! I'm sure that could have been optimised. But nevertheless I'm looking forward to seeing the future videos from this new space.

Few suggestions... 1)Add a fall guard to the table with open back access, you dont want your equipment or stuff falling backside of table. 2)For bulk 3d prints, i would not use 0.4mm nozzle, rather a 0.8mm or 0.6mm. You can save nearly more than half of time in printing. 3) An air purifier is optional but improve maintenance of lab. 4) For SMT resistors and capacitors, if you are only gonna use manual assembly, i would recommend tiny transparent pill bottles like homepathy pill bottles. The paper on the reel disintegrates and takes more space.
