You're doing the world a favor with this video, anyone who whines about mess in my lab is getting a link to this.

On this episode of EEhoarders, the sad story of Steve ....

New lab 100 m2, twice the mess, sweet!

[FranLab]

It brings me solace to know that all good labs end up looking like this and not just mine! A messy lab is truly where the love is.

[OmarMekkawy]

Dave, What about making a quick time lapse video for clearing the old lap and packing the equipment, also could you show us the right packaging for moving equipments ?
You got a gold mine dumpster :D :D :D

[LiamTronix]

So glad you'll still have access to that dumpster room!

[TheSiodmy]

nah Dave, quit lying to yourself. You're just gonna accumulate more junk when you get more room.

[spankenheim]

Don't clean it up, take it apart!

[konohh]

Cleaning and sorting up that mess will most probably just result in more tins full of plastic couch feet :)

[mickarthur]

I don't think mr.Carlson would approve

[logik.]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with no bench space

[Tarbard]

I spend a lot of time looking for things too, I usually try to tidy up until I find the thing I want, that way I feel like the time spent looking is a bit less wasteful.

Reminds me of my lab/office!

This makes me feel so much better about my mess(es)! From painting cars to retail buyer jobs I'm usually not the most organized person, but after chronic injuries, I create disaster areas. I'm often forced to stop working on a project for days or even weeks at a time without warning. That tends to make big messes. Plus when I've only got a few minutes of time to sit or stand per day, on a good day, organizing and cleaning is a big endeavor. My mess is usually way worse than this, but after seeing this from the YT resident EE Pro, Dave. -Mess- * *Professional*
('Why yes, I have a very "professional" work bench!')

Thanks for the upload

Thank you for posting this, it makes me feel much better about the state of my lab.

[waldsteiger]

if your looking for them, your main casios are on the soldering bench at 10:14. and the older one was parted with the red sea at 9:03. to the left. and two more went to the right at 9:09.

[stclairstclair]

At 52 I do not admire too many people today, Dave is a fucking GIANT!!!!

[spacenomad]

Depending on how much more floor space you have between your workbench and mailbag bench, you could go with a row or two of shelves. Stand them back-to-back so that there is loads of accessible storage space. Accessibility is top priority when it comes to keeping things organized. That, and having a clue where things should go.

After my lab moved from one room in the house to a larger room, 18 years ago(!), I still vividly remember the location of equipment in the old room when I search for something.

[mf.]

This is from some years ago, but still entertaining to watch. What an assembly of instruments!
