[Lab] workspace

[Jean-Marc LeBlanc]

I have lots of shelves and lots of mini tables with wheels.  I would
watch out for the sheet metal if you are doing any electronics.  you
can't put a powered pcb (arduino) on there :P.  i screwed a board
(Melamine) on my small table and a 2X4 under it to it doesn't tip
over. just wait, drive around townhouses and project.  you will find a
suitable board.  I like the lots of tables.  I can' have many projects
going at once.  I used a bunch of stuff I found in the trash really
old tv stands or end tables old desk  and I have them all side by
side.  My wife can move them out of the way too when she needs the
extra space
