Andrew C Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Desk? I aspire to a desk! I currently have a half sheet of 12mm ply balanced between a small bookcase and a batten on the wall. Lots of USB cables, a fancy Sweex keyboard that I can't find the proper drivers for, lots of scraps of paper, and some CPC fliers. Several leftover screw from dead PCs and a broken gyroscope from a WWI torpedo. I HAVE ordered a proper desk... I can't wait, the excitement is killing. Addendum - Dead HDD, set of polyominoes, digital calipers, broken (toy) caribeener, Mythbusters DVD, 2 pairs of XLR4, gold and silver glitter pens, two 10g masses, USB microscope, tape measure, circuit diagrams for a battery charger and Maltese Cross demonstration, assorted large ball bearings.

jexjexjex Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Rather depressingly, almost everything that's currently on my day-job desk is a variation on what was there in my previous post some 5 years ago! On the store workbench though is... 1 x Minim F conglomeration of bits (An almost complete set of spares!)1 x Minim23 in need of a new cable gland, prior to flogging on1 x Toolbox, full The exact contents of which are often a mystery1 x Rather unusual 160W ballast-free tungsten/mercury combination UV lamp with an ES base1 x Bright orange small ammo box1 x Mamod steam traction engine (Fully working having had new boiler seals fitted!)Lots x Miscellaneous nuts/bolts/screwsLots x Gel off cuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Bryson: what a tidy desk and what a very nice looking office!I think it's just my OCD showing.... Anyway, the office is very nice, and a vast improvement over my previous office which was, quite literally, in the Toilet Paper Storage Cupboard. It was even labelled as such on the original plans of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
