At almost 72 now, I've been thinking about all my workshops I've built/had. I think it totals 6, and I can tell you without any doubt, that yours is truly a dream workshop. Top workshop - top technician, say no more. Very well done Mark.
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times but your demeanor is so infectious. Greatly appreciate the knowledge you share, the depth at which you go to repair or design and create, and your flat out explanations!
I am fairly jealous of the new shop! I'm using my son's old bedroom, and an office, and the garage, and a shed. Office has tubes and excess parts and ham gear, bedroom is shop, garage and shed, overflow. Plus 1920s-40s radios all over the house. It's amazing we are still married!
That's an amazing one-stop shop you have there. That's worth millions of dollars the way I look at it. You're fantastic Mark. You can fix almost anything with your equipments.
Heh, I've just moved into my newly built house and I have a dedicated electronics workshop built in. Just have to design my new bench space and get all my test equipment and tools out of storage! Congrats on the new shop, Mark!
Well done , Mark, on your magnificent new "home". It looks ideal in space and layout - and very smart indeed. Great to have you back - I've missed your videos!
Mark, this is one of the greatest workspaces I’ve ever seen. And obviously one of the greatest recording studios at the same time. OK Mark hit me with those live streams and load up those repair videos. I’m all in!! my daughter, and I watch these videos with great enjoyment and appreciate your enthusiastic approach to tough repairs keep up the good work. All the best in your success.!!!
Wow! You have just supercharged your channel, you are definitely on the up and you deserve every success. So looking forward to future content, well done mark.
Hey Mark, sometimes you make think off Bob Ross, the famous painter that made it look so ridiculously simple to draw a painting like he did in his programs. Thousands have fallen into that trap. Bob had a long time experience and skill in painting and art. To do what you do takes years of experience, a solid background in electronics and measuring, and the most important: talent. I say all this with great respect.
Great video Mark, thanks for the interesting tour around. I briefly saw my dad's Goodmans module 90 amplifier, demonstrating the power screwdriver. Wow !!!... it'll be famous now 😄. Can't wait to see the full video of it being worked on, and also more future videos. 👍👍👍
New workshop looks great! First thing I noticed was the Aircon! Would have loved to have done it for you and seen the place for real! Your videos have helped me understand the electronic side of things and actually fixed a couple of boards instead of needing full replacement!👌🏼😊
Excellent improvements and work Mark! Thanks a lot for the knowledge you share with us! The idea for historical presentation is also very interesting! A series of video for people starting in electronics would be very helpful for us who started recently! Thanks a lot!!! Looking forward to new videos! Chris Greece
Now that's one great workshop there! Can't think much to add, but for the ever-growing camera setup might be a good idea to start following if any photo studio is getting rid of their studio rail systems. Those can be really handy to grip microphones and cameras, especially with a pantograph type of mounts that can be lowered down but don't take any floor space and can be pushed around out of way. Even small passport photo studios sometimes have setups like that.
That's a really nice setup. Love the different camera shots and how you hooked it all up to that controller. The amount of different angles you put in to videos is really high so I can imagine this will be a great time saver.
Oooh. That is a very cool workshop. I am intensely jealous. Currently my workshop is the kitchen table and all my tools and parts are stored in a broken Beko fridge freezer. Sad face. Probably just as well that I don't have a clue what I am doing. And that's why I have signed up to travel through time with Mark. Cue chonky wavy video FX.
Same lighting strips that I have in my workshop, lasted many years, only one went faulty recently which required two electrolytic caps at either end to fix.
What an awesome place Mark! Would love to follow your 3 live sessions as well, but the time at18:00 in a busy family.. we will see what’s possible! Keep going! Always a joy seeing a video of you popping up!
Beautiful new workshop and very nice new video equipment. Looking forward to your live workshops. Your explanations of the hows and whys of the equipment you have on your service bench have always been very interesting and never tiring. Best of luck, thanks so much.
Hi Mark, WoW the new workshop looks absolutely amazing, both outside and inside, the workbench has luxurious dimensions, now you will have more space for the mechanical workshop. Time travel in electronics development is an absolutely amazing idea unfortunately I couldn't be online or I wouldn't have missed it (I wanted to try the link from the recording but the monthly fee blew my mind - unfortunately I can't afford it). Well, at least I wish you that you work well in your new workshop and thanks to the super editing desk it's easier for you to create new videos - which I'm really looking forward to. Nice day 🙂 Tom
Love the new workshop Mark - you are SO organized _(of which I can appreciate)_ that I am sure you will take full advantage of what you have set up. It's all very exciting, not to mention your new camera set-up/switcher, you're a real pro now mate !! Just signed up for the 3 part course and cannot wait, should be a lot of fun and most interesting. Cheers bud... and thank you for your time...!
Oh come now Mark - Who doesn't like a few solder fumes now and again? Great workshop. But perhaps add a few sound soak panels to the ceiling to cut down on the reverbration in your voice. 😊
Congratulations on the new workshop Mark! Now we’re all waiting for you to inaugurate it with a suitable repair to show on UA-cam. Good luck! Stay safe and well.
Mark!! Congratulations on building a super electronic workshop! One thing to think about that you could easily do. The tripod camera assembly could be mounted from the ceiling. Eliminate the tripod and attach a boom to the camera on a horizontal rod to hang the camera and allow one to move the camera back and forth from one end of the shop to the other. Also, the wires would be up and out of the way. The entire floor would then be open to move around and you would not bump and/or hit the camera tripod and screw up your video. Other than that it is a really great shop!
A superb workshop setup indeed. I remember seeing a pretty neat overhead camera gantry setup on another YT channel - the creator was fed up with tripods getting in the way etc. Might be worth a look ? Inheritance Machining 'A life changing filming upgrade'. Obviously many different ways of achieving a similar result, depending on all manner of factors.
Your old workshop looked to be in a lovely environment. I thought it was a shame that you were to move from that beautiful green and full-of-flowers garden. Nice surprise to see you going next door!
Congratualtions on the ew workspace, which looks really wonderful. Love all the refignments to work flow and shooting capability (hopefully this will reduce the dead time setting up a shot or cutaway angle & close up. really very happy for you and I look forward to your future work and the new livestream projects. Perhaps one day you will tell the story of how you designed the new workspace and chose the tools you have added.
Mark, congratulations on the new shop! It went together quickly, and has everything I could dream of, and everything neatly in its place. You must be proper chuffed. Quite jealous! We moved to a new home last summer and I'm not close to being settled in my new "man cave" workshop. Greetings from Beaverton, Oregon, USA (just down the road from the famous Tektronix campus) We're a Tek family (my wife landed there recently, and I was a design engineer at Tek in the "last century") A long way from my home town of Kingsbury, London NW9, UK. Looking forward to following your new adventures on the bench!
Congrats on the new workshop, very well set up! I currently live in a RV (Caravan in your part of the world) and have a project of my own "on the bench" (my dining table). It's a QSC CX302V audio amplifier, with the main power caps that have vented. (I suspect it was accidentally plugged into 240v, rated for 120v.) The incoming power supply circuitry is very interesting, it acts as a voltage doubler in 120v mode (Using the shorted AC input of a full wave bridge as a parallel diode arrangement), and as a conventional supply in 240v (the full wave bridge is wired normally), the output feeds a switching supply circuit to power the amplifier's output stages. So far the only failure point I found is the 2200uf 200v filter caps. Luckily I have the service manual from a similar QSC amp line that uses the exact same power supply design. Now I have to figure a way to get a basic camera setup to film the repair......

Love the new workshop and look forward to all the new videos Mark
72 here, i miss my old space at work, making do with a small spare room, but Mark's shop is excellent and very well thought out, like it a lot.
@@monteceitomoocher this fellow 'mend it mark' is simply great and a professional al expert to boot!
You've worked hard for your new room and deserve it without question, all the best mark from Australia.
Mark is the GOAT, got a Great sense of humor, I want to stop by and have a cup of tea as well !
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times but your demeanor is so infectious. Greatly appreciate the knowledge you share, the depth at which you go to repair or design and create, and your flat out explanations!
I've looked back at all his video's and i can confidently say you havent said it a thousand times 🤣
@@neildavies9864 ok, math is not my strong suit!

And fantastic new work shop. Well done Mark.

WOW!!! Can you do my garage? Congratulations on the wonderful new shop. Looking forward to all the new videos!

Good job Mark. cant w8 for your new videos on this new workshop 👍
As someone with strong inclination to order I love how this looks. Congrats!!
Amazing your box , tools and organize all wires and set up of cameras. thank so much. Start up .
So very cool to see such a beautifully thought out work space. I look forward to your future videos from this workshop.
Well done! You deserve it. Your work is fascinating and nostalgic for me. ❤
Same lighting strips that I have in my workshop, lasted many years, only one went faulty recently which required two electrolytic caps at either end to fix.

Love your banter, knowledge and skill Mark, keep the videos coming. I enjoy them from Aus!
Nice one Mark, what a fantastic workshop and set up, 'wow'. Now we know why you've been a bit quiet of late! Can't wait for the trilogy to start 😊👍

Congratulations, may you have many successes in your new sanctum sanctorum.
congratulations, you did a great job. I always follow you very willingly

Very nice workshop
Great to see such a lovely man doing so well for himself. I hope the live stream goes well! If I had the cash I'd certainly be booking my seat.
serious workshop envy!!
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes for you and your spanking new workshop.
Brilliant workspace Mark and well organised, love it!
Your workshop is like Disney Land for all electronics hobbyists!
Congrats!!
Looks fantastic!!
