Stocking the bench

i only ordered 2 feet, to see if the wire is any good, and they sent the wrong bloody one! haha, haven't treid solid core, seems really nice though, seems like it would be awesome for switch and I/O jack wiring.. i wouldn't dare use it for the pots, as i'd break it within seconds, keep lifting the board in and out!

Use it to build your own PCB mount pots....you'll be ordering more of it on purpose next time

I've just used it for the switch wiring in a 1590a, neatest thing ever!! just wouldn't fancy using it for board or pot connections, as i like to be able to lift the board out etc..

But the mounted pots thing is a good shout!

As above, buy some storage containers. I can't stress enough just how helpful they are for keeping things organised!

Here are my ones, soon to get a 5th one I think:

Nice setup! I will have to invest in some organizers. I have my small collection of parts in a tackle box right now but that filled up fast.

Thanks for all the pointers on vendors gang, looking forward to stocking up here soon!

I will give one helpful bit of advice, if you get drawer units like I have, get a label maker. I got a fairly decent one for a tenner from ebay, and I'm in the process of putting different colours on different components. Red for caps, yellow for resistors, etc. It makes finding components a lot quicker, and the labels are easier to read then my hand writing.

That's my home away from home via the internet! It's like walmart for builders.
