In this video I will show you my new lab/workshop. Finally the house project was finished and it was time to move; but how to set up the new lab? Well, during the last 6 months I prepared it and now turned it into my ideal work space. I want to share with you how exactly I did it so that you might get inspired to improve your own lab/workshop ;-) Let's get started!
0:00 A New Lab/Workshop?
0:59 Intro
1:48 Lighting
3:43 Workbenches
5:13 Storage (3D Printed Wall Cabinets)
8:18 Storage (Big Shelves)
9:34 More Storage Solutions
10:50 Additional Tips
11:23 Verdict - Наука та технологія
Legends says if you say Wago three times in a mirror a german man shows up at 3am and rewires your entire house
Lol
Haha. Sounds plausible though.
Hahaha I'll have to try this
if you do that in germany, there's a certain chance that you become that german man
You will summon the Wago man who will rewire your home
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. :)
Can you please develop that as a website so that we can take advantage of your system for our own parts? I think it would be hyper-useful as I've always got lots of thing stashed away 'somewhere' but can never find them when needed!
I'm working as a software engineer and I'm often struggling to get any use out of documentation, as it's often outdated or insufficiently detailed.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.
@@stepheneyles2198Are you serious? ganopterygon said that he/she has just a spreadsheet for his/her own use... can you imagine the several degrees of complexity that are in the development of the parts control system in a website?!
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.
06:56 wow, that is dedication to 3D printed storage! With how nice your storage wall looks... I might have to go that route instead of the little plastic boxes next time.
Yep I really wondered why he didn't order it from JLCPCB, that would have been the perfect sponsor integration 😅 But I guess the sponsorship probably came later.
Hi Jeff, wait for your video now.
Video uploaded 3 minutes ago, but this comment is from 2 days ago, how

@@lavacat720yeah how
Fantastic work, dude! Your lab and workshop both look amazing! 😃
Mine is divided as well, but it's a freaking mess right now... I hope I can organize it soon. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks and thanks for the feedback :-)
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.
This will help me find things faster thanks!:D
@@Eduardo_Espinoza I'm going to buy some magnetic strips tomorrow... To organize things like drivers and pliers and stuff like that. 😬
Perhaps you could use the idea as well.
All I can say is Wunderbar.

Hey, be respectful!
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!
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.
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!
Awesome :-) Thanks for the feedback :-)
It had been 4 years watching & learning by your videos, from only speech type to exposing your face on video... your content never fails to impress & feed us with newest version of knowledge possible with logical testing approach❤... love from india
I love this workshop! Currently studying electronic engineering a lot because of your videos, but hope to make my own workshop like this. Currently working out of my shed 😂
I can see this will further improve your content, and can’t wait to see it.
Love from the UK
Waw, did I enjoy this video! It also inspires me, since I'm in the dry wall/plastering/sanding fase of an extension. Great Scott has great ingenuity and crafstmanship!
This is simply a work of Art. Im dreaming of a setup like this. Once i have my own house (somewhere in the future) i want to do stuff like this. You are living my dream and i cant be happier for a stranger.
Your new workshop looks so clean and organized! Great job!
I'm building one too! I have a reasonable electronics knowledge but I think it's good enough for my age (15 years old). I'm struggling with expensive tools like oscilloscopes. My parents won't help me buy stuff for myself, but I'm slowly saving up money to get an oscilloscope and other things. 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!
Sounds awesome. Wish you luck and success in the future :-)
@@greatscottlab Thanks for the encouraging words! :)
Everyone is in a period of organisation right now I have the impression 😅
Great workshop 👌
Thanks! 😃
I love your new lab. Unfortunately, in my country we don't have any Ikea products, but seeing your designs help a lot by suggesting new ideas. Great Job, and please, don't stop creating videos on your channel!!!!
No Ikea? I thought they had pretty much conquered the globe.
Not yet, but soon... :) I line in Uruguay, South America, and IKEA landed in 2022 in Brazil and it will probably open stores in Argentina as some information was filtered in early 2023, so they are getting near... we were already targeted by other brands like McDonald's and Starbucks, so why not IKEA? At least we will have useful stuff to consume (I know the brand from when I was traveling across Europe, including Germany)
Well, in Mexiko Ikea cost double, just go to the website and took pictures from there, visit your local carpenter and go for it! Better quality and help your economy
Fantastic Job Mr. Great Scott! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I am quite envious! Love the organization and labeling in the lab, your garage workshop is very nice and something I truly do miss, since I no longer have a garage or real working area, Great video, keep up the good work!
Amazing lab Scott!!, greetings from Dominican Republic
If I had a workshop like that, I wouldn't leave that room in weeks. Pretty much what I'd make if I had the space to
Great job from the Great Scott
Thanks 👍
Same!
Great Work, Scott! You've given me a lot of good ideas.
Looks very neat and tidy! I love your attention to detail
Amazing! Very inspiring in many ways! Thanks for sharing!
Very nicely done!! You've employed some great ideas.
Nice! I'm about to start a revision of my workshop and I have picked up a few good ideas here. Thanks!
Absolutely Amazing! I'm currently planning my workshop and I'll definitely be using this video for some inspiration!
Nice setup Scott, great work!
I love this kind of videos! This saves us TONS of time!
I mean, for us to learn this from ourselves only, it would take MONTHS (or even couple years) so I definetly want to thank you so very much for this *precious video*.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Superb performance by Great Scott
Great Job! I love the efficient use of space while keeping a really nice aesthetic. I do all kinds of DIY in my 11m^2 bedroom and you definetly gave me some great ideas.
This is a great setup and I particularly love the corner shelving idea to make use of normally awkward space.
The new workshops look great and it now gives you a lot more room. Looking forward to many more great videos.
Thanks :-) More to come ;-)
This looks absolutely amazing! 😍
One of the best workshops I have ever seen! 💪
It turned out great, congratulations. I have to organize mine too.
So happy for you! You're videos are a great contribution to humanity.
I love it! I wish I could make a similar lab for myself one day. Fantastic thing is when you can live from your hobby.
It’s great 👍🏼 congrats 🎉for the new lab! 🚀
You deserver more views and I hope the algorithm will bless you once more. Very nice set up super clean.
Nice, thanks. I really like the 3D printed labels. ☺
Just lovely! And I have to say I am jealous over your space; I live in a narrowboat so my workshop is super-small! It's like working in a corridor!
What an excellent lab! This is my dream workspace. Perfectly organized and with a wonderful aesthetic.
I have been searching good storage/drawer system and now you offered it
Thank you
Sick setup! I'm definitely going to draw some inspiration
Looks awesome, so much space!
Awesome work! Looks like an incredible setup
Looks great! I love that those custom shelves match the IKEA aesthetic. And +1 for printed storage, I have my own printed shelves and drawers and it's so great!
absolutely amazing - shifting - waiting for the videos every day!!
I love your lab layout.. awesome!!!
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...
Very good job!! Well done!! 👍
wow! amazing! it is so interesting how you developed through all these years! keep going!❤
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
Awesome setup!
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.
Grate as grate Scott is!👍🏼👍🏼
time really flies. I remember watching your old lab videos years ago.
Looks incredible! Great job from Great Scott!
Thank you! Cheers!
Congratulations, what a pleasure to work there, greetings from Colombia.
Definitely a dream shop. Well done Scott.
Looks fantastic!
The smile in your face honestly makes my day
looks great, well done.
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 ^^
Looks Great mate 👍👍
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.
Looks great and hope you are happy it
Bro, I have lab envy.... Looks great, you should be very proud! And thank you for sharing, I have some ideas for my room now!
Looks great! weel done man.
I love your way of doing things ; beauty.
Great new Lab! I especially liked the 3d storage!
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!
one of few videos i fully understood what you were talking about
Well worth it, good for you! I hope to see many more videos in years to come.
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!
Those wall mounted sockets at the end really caught my eye. Would like to see more about them.
Definitely want to see a full tour of the completed garage!
Very nice! Looks great.
You bring Respekt, wer's selber macht to a whole new level! 😉
Very clean!
Great Scott!! What Has He Gone and Done Now?!! 🤣😂😍🥰
JLCPCB, Ikea.....now all I need is ambition!! 🤣
Excellent video, Scott, as has come to be expected! 😁
Awesome job!
This will be my next dream setup!
Great work!
amazing workshop!!!!
Looks amazing! I agree on keeping mechanical and electrical work separate. I do my automotive and mechanical in the garage because of dust and grease mess. I keep the electronic projects inside.
Thanks for guidance Scott❤❤ i always had problem with sotrage storing snall vig conoonents
Dedication, thank you for this video
My pleasure!
Nice work!
Super inspiring. 👍👍
looks amazing. im very jealous now
I love everything about your new lab, especially the storage. My OCD is satisfied :)
Haha glad I could do that.
Having a lab is fun !😊❤
The Ikea Skadis is awesome, there are so many printable things for it.
That looks really nice! Good job.
Thanks :-)
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.
This reminded me about the fact I also need to organise my room since it's basically a workshop lol
I always have random containers placed on the edge of the shelves and wires hanging everywhere
New look makes it look 1000 times more easy to work on, gotta send this video to my boss so he let's me change our lab setup
Great video! one tip-you should consider storing the 3d-filament inside vacuum bags that way they will not absorb the moisture and will not become brittel
I store mine in "Really Useful" air-tight cake boxes with silica gel sachets. Works a treat. They're exactly the right size and are stackable :-)
