Hello Mark. What a fantastic workshop you have with a dream collection of test equipment (I watched the previous tour too where you show all equipment). One question: Does your Isolated Test Socket behave like a Dim Bulb Tester (with the bulb just out of shot)?
As an alternative to your tripod, I believe you could adapt an articulated monitor arm to a camera so you can pull and push it around as you like and get it as close to the workbench as possible.
OMG that is what I call workshop . A real dedicated technician invest heavily in tools, leads, parts, reliable parts. and spacious table. If I could only send my vintage Pioneer cd player pd5000 for repair and I know it would be an excellent repair topic. Hats off to you.
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!
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.!!!
Congratulations on the new workshop Mark! Now we’re all waiting for you to inaugurate it with a suitable repair to show on RUclips. Good luck! Stay safe and well.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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......
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.
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...!
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.
Awesome new workshop Mark...I've had repair work from Mark belive me top notch work...man is insane...keep up the great works...not a lot of electronic engineers go to this level of passion dedication..simply Awesome
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.
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!
Love your channel. So down to earth. Also unlike many other ‘repair’ channels the comments are not full of armchair experts who spotted xyz or how they would have done it better and quicker.
wow! Your workshop is impressive, I dream of having a space like this, maybe not with so much equipment since I am intermediate, but when I have to repair some equipment I usually work on my desk, luckily they have been small things and I usually do maintenance from time to time , be it video game consoles, 90s sound equipment and other things that have that beautiful electronics with many components and few packages or software updates. I congratulate you, I hope to see your lives if I am not at work. Greetings and by the way, we have the same Logi MX Keys keyboard, complemented by an MX Ergo mouse, in that we do have good tastes, greetings from Chile.
Hi Mark. I just want to tell you that I enjoy your videos and this one was no exception. I got some second hand satisfaction from your tour of the new shop. I just love when things comes together nicely. Cheers from Denmark.
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.
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.
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!
Great workshop, and hope you are pleased with the spike of new subscribers I suspect you're having. Every cloud and all that! As a newbie to your channel, I'm thoroughly enjoying watching some of your past repairs.
Super ! Czekam na nowe jeszcze ciekawsze podboje . Uwielbiam starszą elektronikę, taką z duszą. Sam jestem amatorem napraw i cieszę się jak dziecko gdy coś uda mi się uratować.Ostatnio udało mi się przywrócić do żywych amplituner Technics SA-R330. Serdecznie pozdrawiam.
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.
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!

@@MendItMark It looks really neat this way Mark. Awesome!
As an alternative to your tripod, I believe you could adapt an articulated monitor arm to a camera so you can pull and push it around as you like and get it as close to the workbench as possible.
The best part of your workshop, Mark is your ability to utilize the equipment to expose your talent and patience............
All while being entertaining!

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!
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!
@@MrMersh-ts7jl 🤣
You've worked hard for your new room and deserve it without question, all the best mark from Australia.

Why do toxic fumes have to smell so nice.....
And fantastic new work shop. Well done Mark.

Best of luck Mark in the new Shack,absolutely awsome build.
Awesome workshop Mark, looks like a lot of time and effort has gone into you workshop. keep up the good work.
Looks fab - just had to reorganise my workshop after smoke damage from a fire :( The good part is that I now have everything just the way I want it...
Hearty congratulations 🙏👏👏👏🙏
Your new electronic workshop is so nice!!! Congrats!!! Nice Works!!!!
Congratulations! That's a solid shop. Looking forward to new content!

Congratulações Mark🇧🇷👍
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes for you and your spanking new workshop.
