Griezi Andreass, I'm a fellow tech enthusiast in his early thirties and I've been your a viewer of your channel for the past 3 years or so. Still, I've got no idea how I've missed this 1 year old video, since I've always wondered what your working environment would be. We'll, better late than never and now that I got to finslly saw that, I must say, it's exactly I've imagined! This tour around your workshop was truly wonderful and wholesome. It was so good that I've felt a whole bunch of emotions at once, which prompted me to write this long comment. Here we go. Since my childhood, I was always a weird guy. An oddball, who never had any interest in most things that the kids of my age enjoyed and I was always in the search for something that was genuinely fun and interesting to me. But since the resources available to a little kid is limited, I couldn't find anything that was interesting enough to keep me hooked or fills me with happiness. However, I was always fascinated with most subjects related to computers and electronics and whenever I see some cool electronics / computer project, my brain lits up like a Xmas tree and I suddenly get this burning sense of passion, curiosity and desire to learn and make some technical stuff. There were only a handful of stuff that makes me feel this way and whenever I feel this passion, it's like I'm finally about to find the true purpose of my life. (lol) But unfortunately, I've never knew what to do with all this burning passion towards technology inside me and didn't had any means to quench that thirst for learning cool stuff. I didn't had the proper guidance or means or knowledge to learn more about electronics so I would just suck it up and distract myself with other stuff. It went on like this, untill one day I've got my hands on my cousin's PC! That opened a window to my soul and little me had lots of fun playing games and tinkering around Windows xp! Fast forward to 2008 and I've got to watch a movie called "Ironman" and my little mind was blown, watching Tony Stark's workshop and all the cool stuff he creates with nothing but a curious mind and lots of tinkering ! (and a fair bit of engineering lessons of course). Tony instantly grabbed my respect and building stuff in my own workshop entered the top of my bucket list! I've felt a cocktail of wonder, excitement, curiosity, happiness and a sense of relief at that moment, because it was the moment my inner desire I've carried around since my childhood got validated finally! That movie clicked something in me and even though I didn't knew much about computers except for basic troubleshooting, I knew what degree I'm gonna pursue, when I grow up. Fast forward to some more years and now, I have completed my computer science degree. However, now I've started to feel bored with programming. Sure, I've had lots of fun in college, learning programming and it satisfied my desire to make something. I've developed some basic projects during my course but it never had any implications in my day to day life and the projects felt hollow to me. They weren't tangible and under the hood, all of them were just CRUD applications that processes data in a different way. Above all, these projects weren't made for my satisfaction, but they were done for just completing my course. They lacked meaning and purpose as they never had any impact on me in any meaningful way. So now that burning desire to make something is back with a vengeance, my mind began it's search for something to fulfill my inner desire. And that's when I've began to self learn electronics and dove deep into the amazing world of incredible projects and awesome people from the online community. That's how I've came across your channel and the making style of your videos made a deep impression and connection with me. Unlike most videos I've watched till then, your videos had a neat presentation style (still do), it was well researched, stuffed with all the necessary information required for a person to learn that particular topic and it didn't had any unnecessary stuff. Your videos are minimal, sharp and your passion towards technology is always radiating through your words. To be honest, I think they kind of have this theraputic quality to it (lol). You've had my admiration and respect since then and I've been a frequent viewer of your videos. But all of that went to next level, when I've watched your workshop and damn, I've felt like being a kid again, who got to watch Tony Stark's workshop for the first time! I know this sounds silly, but in my head, you have this superhero image and you're like a real life Tony Stark to me! 😅 You have now officially entered my list of idols and massive respect to you Andreass, for alturistically spreading your wisdom and guiding lost little kids like me in to finding their true passion in life. See? I didn't lie. You're really a superhero! 😁 I've made some IoT projects since then and I'm still continuing my tinkering journey thanks to wise, selfless and passionate people like you around the world. Now my new goal is to create a workshop like yours, sometime in the future and I wholeheartedly thank you for inspiring everyone in the community! Keep doing what you enjoy doing and may you and your loved ones stay happy forever! Sending lots of love from India! ♥

@@joehoandroid I guess if you are not soldering on a regular base it might be overkill to buy a JBC station. Those cheap cartridge versions perform pretty well and are an excellent alternative for the small hobbyist. I have used a Weller station for over 30 years but I thought it was time to seriously update that one and went for the JBC (CD-2BQWD) which is pricy but a good investment if you solder on a very regular base like myself. I also have a TS100 that I use when I am "on the move" which is simply powered by a pack of 18650 cells. Even with the standard cheap tips that were delivered with the TS100 I get good results and cannot complain. The S60 you linked looks like a nice soldering iron which seems to have good reviews and should be more than enough for casual electronics soldering (it'll probably outperform my old Weller station).

OK, this comment has nothing to do with "tools" focus of your video, but rather is about books. As I watched this 2018 video I found myself looking carefully at the books on your bookshelf. You highlighted one of my favorite books, "Soul of a New Machine", a book in which I played a small part (the video of Seymour Cray talking about designing computers came from me; I got the video while working for the Univ of Calif and gave a copy to Brian Johnson when he worked for Data General). But a book that really caught my eye was "DEC is Dead, Long Live DEC." Having used DEC computers for many years (PDP-8 in 1971 through Alpha GS1280 in 2010) I really respected the company for their deep engineering roots. So I picked up this book used and look forward to reading it soon. Thanks for the tip!

It's interesting to see the shift in how people view 3D printed parts. The signals of quality in injected molded parts like smooth surfaces are absent in most 3D prints so it's easy to believe that they're crap, no matter how much better they are in function. I think it's slowly changing, though, as more people make and use 3D prints.

Btw. I was a user and administrator on DEC device in the 80s and 90s. I fully confirm your mentioning of "the best company". Then I had a stint at IBM for 18 years, before I started with RasPi and Arduino and 3D printing after 2015... So, I really enjoyed this video! Thank you, again!

CNC mill - NOT in the workshop! It does not need attention- set it up and return when finished- put it somewhere you do not have to watch/hear it. Mine is in my garage, in its own enclosure. Storage boxes- make a frame with tabs that support the lip- you can then remove without disturbing the others in the stack. Drawers- single item depth stops the need to scrabble through them.

I agree entirely, it is a mess. Mine is now even further away: I sold it because I did not use it anymore due to my 3D printer and JLCPCB...

@@AndreasSpiess I am curious about how many CNC mills actually get used. Many feel they need one, but either the learning curve to use one, or the lack of need for what it can produce, means they either lie there or are moved on. A couple of my favorite YT sites got one, fanfared its installation, only for it never to be heard of again. 3D printers are certainly used a lot more- the ratio between my prints and my CNC machining is probably 100:1. But they will do things that are almost impossible otherwise. I built a second, smaller but more rigid, machine for metal. It can do in minutes what would take hours with lots of re-mounting on my manual mill.

Good job Andreas. My work area is about the same size, has most of the same elements, although it's not nearly as neat and tidy as yours ;-) One little thought: I have a LOT of small parts in MANY containers (just like you.) But despite everything being fairly well organized, it can still be difficult to find parts, since each container can hold a LOT of parts ... even a LOT of parts that I completely forgot that I have. So I keep lists of the "stuff I have", which more-or-less match the contents of the containers. Nothing special, just text files which are not too detailed nor up to date, but are a good first approximation. When I order something new or use some parts, I update the lists. Then when I need a bunch of parts for a project, or I'm considering a new design, the first thing I will do is consult my lists, rather than dig through all the containers. If something is not in the lists, then I can look further. It saves me a lot of time.

There are a lot of transparent IKEA Samla boxes on your shelf. I am still not a big fan of those, because they become brittle over time (no UV seems to be required) and the lids and boxes break.
