Bench Requirements (based on conversations with lots of people!)
- Height: Standard workstation/stool height (~840mm) rather than desk/chair height - allows working standing or sitting on stools
- Depth: Standard electronics workstation depth of ~900mm to allow for equipment at the back whilst still giving decent workspace
- ESD - whilst some people don't care, other seem to care a lot, so assume antistatic worksurface
- Structure - A long workbench surface along the wall of the main workshop, approximately 4m; Options:
- Standard electronics workbenches (metal structure bench with drawers below left/right, back power strip at back, raised shelf)
- Basic electronics workbences without storage below, cantilever or 4-post design
- Worksurface (e.g. kitchen) fixed to wall with some drawer units as stands (e.g. ikea)
- Other considerations:
- Allow for a variable number of people to sit at it (i.e. bunch up, couple of people around same project)
- Decent storage for all the basic tools, components
- Some form of raised area for scopes/test equipment
- Very sturdy - i.e. wont move if lent on, pushed against etc
