18:26 - at first I thought you said "Electron Microscope" and I was getting really excited!
How're the repairs going?
Are y'all like brothers or something?
@@wiilillad I've never met either in my life. Just watched their videos
@@TheLukemcdaniel I meant are 8-bit guy and The geek pub brothers....
I just found this channel, and as soon as he started talking, I thought it sounds like 8-bit guy. Then I saw his comment
@@wiilillad yes, they are brothers
So I've never seen your videos before, and I'm thinking, this guy sounds a lot like the 8-Bit Guy... And then he shows up. I guess you're brothers? HA! Awesome. Subscribed!
Ikr. I knew he had a brother, but they are both so similar. Double the content haha
I knew he sounded familiar.
You have a good ear.
I was just about to write the exact same thing! That's my first video for this channel and I was thinking he sounds just like The 8bit guy.
I started writing the same comment just now, almost verbatim. I scrapped it, and just liked and commented on your instead. ;) When David showed up at 8:16 it about blew my mind. LOL Also my first time to this channel.
I finally got around to getting the electronics workbench for the studio built!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your Electronics Station Build. Good decision to make you own. It looks great.
I'd just like to say I appreciate how much work goes into making these videos -- there's so many different angles and footage of tasks, getting it all put together, etc. Really well done!
I enjoyed the zappy music / zoom change sequence
I think this new workshop series is the only thing I actually look forward to on RUclips these days. It's coming together nicely!
I agree 👍
@@Dlutheran Same!
Agree, watching the journey unfold is very good entertainment. Nice work geekpub!
You and your brother come across as kind, and endearing which makes it that much more enjoyable to watch what ever you two decide to share. Thanks for being awesome.
If I closed my eyes during your voice overs I would not be able to tell you and 8 bit guy apart lol joking aside, great build. It's funny how I see all the same tools and irons and such that I have. The shelf height and space between them is perfect.
Their voices sound slightly different, but their way of speaking is indeed very similar. They just can't deny that they are brothers. ;-)
@@Colaholiker hahahaha thanks for that. A welcome laugh from a tedious c++ lesson.
I spent half the video trying to decide if it was him, only to have him actually show up lol
@@GeorgeD_ Hahahaha same here !
I was listening to this from my watch later list in a small PiP window while working on other stuff, and initially thought "this is an 8bit guy video". Especially with the same background musics at some points, but the voiceover is also similar :)
Me: "This guy sounds EXACTLY like the 8-Bit Guy... They could totally be brothers!"
8:15 the 8-Bit Guy appears, helping to shift the bench. 🤣
This is inspiring AF!
I've built some stuff using 2x3s instead of 2x4s - Plenty strong for the shelving, and usually less expensive.
Looks like there's plenty of room for some LED strips under the shelves for some added lighting too!
2:00 A circular saw will only produce blow-out or tear-out on the top side of the board because the teeth are hitting the bottom side of the board first. The melamine on the bottom has the support of the particle board above it. The damage happens on the top of the board, because there is nothing to protect it as the saw blade exits the board. A good rule is to remember, good side down, even if you're using a good quality sharp blade, and move slowly, that also helps prevent any damage. I use this every time I use my circular saw and the good side never gets damaged. Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with protecting both sides when needed. 12:00 With your tables being as wide as they are, I would have added a stretcher along the legs closest to the walls. This would prevent any racking during use, especially with a lot of weight on the table tops. GREAT BUILD!!!!!!!!!
Seeing this being put together is the perfect tease for the projects they'll be used for later! That bench looks so good and inviting, and properly solid. If you were to buy one it'd easily be 2-3x the price, and you already have the experience and tools to make something that will work as well.
Congrats on a new workbench and thanks for taking us along through the process! Big props for not buying an off-the-shelf one and going diy!
I've been (over)thinking a build for my basement area - part ham shack, part electronics hobby work station, part work from home, part book shelf.
I was already planning a second garage build like this for a workbench on lockable heavy casters but with an mdf top.
Hadn't even considered it for inside use but now that I see yours - absolutely!!
Sick Setup!
Keep the new studio builds and updates going. It is so entertaining and interesting.
I'm getting ready to build out a new tech room at our IT shop. You gave me some good ideas, thanks. Great job!
That's a very nice build! Using the right tools really makes a lot of difference.
I am truly amazed by the end result! That work station is of superior build quality.
Awesome!
I like such precision after work and placing materials for the warehouse so professionally
I feel for you, been putting off my own upstairs workshop build because those sheets are such a pain to work with alone. Love your setup! Please keep these videos coming!
Many lumber dealers and home centers will precut sheet materials for you. Just be sure to add an inch to your dimensions so you can fine tune the pieces at your shop.
I worked as an electronic tech most of my working career with many years actually doing component level troubleshooting and I was never provided with a bench as nice as that. Good Job.
I am a current electronics tech, my bench is made of the thinnest melamine known to man, covered with burns and gouges (not me, I swear).
@@davidstech1445 I used to worked repair oil well logging tools in the 80s. There were high failure rates of components because of the well temperatures. We used high temp solder and milspec components. I got tired of it and went into communications after that and retired from it last year.
@@Chris_at_Home What a fantastic experience! I'm working in the communications sector and find myself working on many other odd jobs along the way. I am only a few years into my career, the possibilities seem endless.
The hassle involved with the high-temp solder and mil spec parts would drive me insane. Thankfully I have never dealt with it. I hope you enjoy the retirement!
@@davidstech1445 Thank you, I m enjoying retirement. Nice you are working in communications. I started doing that in 1989 for a small company that even took me overseas some. My last 15 years I worked for AT&T doing communications along the pipeline and then working at a gateway earth station.
Seeing a new upload from TheGeekPub always puts a smile on my face :D
Wow how I wish I had the space to build such nice station. Even just a small soldering station will do. By the way your voice really sounds like The 8-Bit Guy. 😁
Probably local dialect in that part of Texas
His brother
Where there's a will, there's a way :)
You just might have to be more creative... like maybe a rolly cart that slides over your toilet in the bathroom lol. Hey, at least there's a vent for when you're soldering! :D
glad im not the only one who thought they sounded identical
Mad props to that simple but function design. I am planning on building a few benches like this, one on the wall with shelves, and one rolling mobile workbench, for my garage. That way, I will have a nice place for woodworking projects, maker projects, ham radio, gun maintenance, or just about anything else that I need a good solid flat worksurface for.
Thanks for all the pro-tips! I also really like your balance of thoughtful touches, simplified construction and still looking really nice.
Wow! What a really awesome electronics station build. It looks so good and functional. Nicely done!
Loved this video. So many helpful tips and I love seeing the studio come together. Thank you!
You explained everything clearly.
Building desk this summer, will be a little like working with Dad.
Thank You!
I like your setup. It's encouraging and enticing to work with that arrangement.
Literally cheap for twice the price! What a great budget build, and it looks just as clean and nice as any professional equipment you could buy!!!
That's a really nice and clean build dude!
I want to someday do what David did and build myself my own private office space near or next to my future house. It’s loads better than having to take an Uber 30 minutes to an hour to go to an office and I can’t drive due to blindness therefore, building an office space would be a lot better for me with my future business plans. Good luck to the both of you. Have a great day.
good to see that the new place is coming along nicely...looking forward to the next video...keep'em coming!!
Impressive build I plan on doing something similar next year when I get a bigger place
Nice setup. I like the black edge around the table top. Very nice finish.
Nice workbench and very organised workbench I’ve ever seen.
That bench looks great.
not only the content is good, the videography and editing is also amazing. you did a magnificent job!
Man, that's exactly what i have to do with my electronic lab. Build a workbench will be my next job. Thanks for the inspiration. By the way, i like to work with joinery too.
Hey Mike nice to see a new video
Thank you so much for sharing the steps but over most the tips and tricks that can apply to other projects
Wow! You are 8bitGuy's brother. Creativity and workmanship flow from the family. Great seeing your videos for the first time. Keep the good work!
I’m in the process of designing my station this definitely helps
I used ClosetMaid track shelving for all my test equipment overtop a couple of Uline office tables. I thought about it for a couple years before I finally did it. It turned out better than expected and I can’t stop looking at it.
I'd be very happy with a setup like yours. You did a great job on it.
Okay, I am very jealous of your set up. You are an inspiration.
Congrats. Great job. It looks amazing. I really admire you for your skills!
loved this video so much i had to download it to keep it, so i have it when i build mine. Thank man, GREAT JOB.
Very clean job. Love it!
You can also use the scrap from cutting off the rounded edge of the 2x4 as trim on the bench top and shelf edges.
wow 2 years old but I love the look of this! well done! so clean looking!
I work for a PCB assembly company and looked at some of the Uline products. Yeah, they are freakin expensive for even the most simplistic setups. Yeah, you did right by building your own and probably saved 6 or 7 grand on that desk. A lot of the desks we got for our company when setting up 20+ years ago was from auction or places going out of business and buying their used equipment.
Welcome to 'Mike's Not Fine Furniture Store'
Really enjoy the building build-out updates.
Awesome build. Great job!
Nothing like a custom built workstation that suits your requirements perfectly, looks brilliant, nice job.
Hard agree
Man, I wish I had the space to build something like this. I already have my computer/music workspace in the living room :-)
Beautiful and very accurate job!
NOiCE 🏆
Sitting down and taking that final shot ... SATISFACTION.
Great video, really interesting and the workbench turned out really nice!
Glad you liked it!
"Pocket Hole Screw" yay I learned a new term! I love this stuff but have been learning on my own for years and it's hard to learn about terms and techniques without people guiding you. Even if I hate your end result for some reason, I got value from this video! 🥰
Check out Steve Ramsey - Woodworking for Mere Mortals [ruclips.net/user/stevinmarin]. He's got lots of info and projects like this. And he's a RUclips OG. Quite an old channel, so there's a ton of information for the learning woodworker.
@@NeoRichardBlake thank you!! I love RUclips so much, I have gotten into a habit of kinda just venting about my confusion with things on people's videos, and without expecting it have learned so much more and gotten so much more help from RUclips (creators and commenters) than I've learned in school or gotten help from my government in trying to understand things 🥰
@@QueerCripple Glad to help. :)
Looks great and better yet, it's functional for what you need
I squeezed a little electronics bench into a spot in my garage years back - I didn't paint anything or remove round corners though, yours looks much nicer.....
Inspiring build!! Well done!
Awesome, love the end result!
Very cool, I liked the project.
Great job. Wish I had a similar bench for my electronics.
Impressive setup. You’d never get anything off the shelf that good lol. Makes me want to do a project like that for myself 🤔
Nice clean workstation built for a great price, excellent! Thanks for sharing.
muito bom mestre,ficou linda sua bancada,parabéns...
Beautifully done
Looks great! Cable manage those power cords and it will look fantastic.
great job! I did just got the Uline (Global Industrial) route - this is very cool and arguably the better route in that shelves can be wherever you want etc.
I was just going to comment that his format reminds me a lot of 8bitguy but now i see the comments you guys are family, that explains a lot :)
Great video.
Thats an amazing result
It looks great. Congratulations.
Nice workshop!!! I am envious!!!
Love the "Blue Box" T-shirt.... Great video
This is beautiful
what a freat build and i love all the awesome tips...the t molding is definitley in my next build...thank you for the informative video. keep up the great work.
Glad to help!
its awsome!!! looked this video 1 year ago but still love it!
Love the idea of using T moulding to finish off the worktop edges. Looks neat, and will resist knocks and scrapes that are bound to happen over the years.
Yes. And its super easy to replace if damaged.
Hello guy.
Your workstation looks fantastic.
Congratulations on the project (rich in detail) and for sharing it with us.
You have one more subscriber to your channel.
Great work!!! Best regards from Argentina!!!
Sweet set up!
Thank you for this inspiration!
I'm about to start finishing my basement and my room will be a music studio. This workbench seems to be exactly what I need! Plenty of plugs, lots of room....can solder and track a recording with ease.
Nice build. I'd also be making some recessed shelves for underneath the bench for more storage.
Awesome setup!
Great video..Thanks for sharing
I am really looking forward to see more frequent videos !!
More to come! The new workspace/studio allows me to to do just that.
Nice build
badass set-up!!
It's not every day that I get the urge to create something after watching a video, and it's especially not every day that it's a video of such high quality. Subscribed!
good job, I love your workshop 😀
This is a dream setup
Great Work!
Verry nice! I like your approach to some small things, some tips I will take note of!
I just came across your channel. This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time.
Nicely done video. Thank you sir. I'll be setting mine up soon, I hope...lol.
Need this in my life. Will try to do something similar
