Since there are always questions about my workshop, I have created a small overview here (photos of the entire workshop can be found below).
My workshop offers only limited space for tools and machines, so everything is very compact and space-saving. I tend to try to avoid work that causes a lot of noise or coarse dirt and concentrate on things like 3D printing or laser cutting. I had CNC for a short time, but it was too loud and too dirty for me. Due to the lack of a garage or the like, I then gave CNC back.
A rough overview

- You can use my animatronic grogu - whom I always like to bring to Maker Faire and cosplay events - and next to him a Nix who is still in the works
- I adore Nikola Tesla, but the interactive, life-size bust has no place in the workshop - so a photo has to be used.
- Also not to be seen, my industrial robot arm, whose control unit is hidden here
- 3D printers have definitely changed my life since I built my first printer in 2009.
- A workshop without a Furby wouldn't make 😉 sense to me. (Can you find the second one?)
- My favorite tool (and unfortunately also quite expensive) is the ultrasonic cutter .
- The extraction system with side channel compressor, fine dust filter and 60 litres of activated carbon keeps the air in the workshop clean during soldering, airbrushing and laser cutting.
- The signal light does not actually belong on the band saw. It can be controlled by viewers in the Twitch stream.
- Photo backgrounds help to stage projects well despite the full workshop.
- Matt Dixon's robot calendar delights me every month.
- The Bosch bench drill PBD 40 is a real tool for nerds.
