Hey All,
So here is my newly put together workroom. This room is still not yet fully put back together, i still have some power supply's and laser driver current supplies and some more electronics that need to get put back into the room and a many little tool stuff but i would say 90% of it is done.
This is my Driver making,laser making & optics and laser labies work on room only. I have a second room "In the basement" where all the Big tools are like the lathe, drill press, metal cutter & soon to be added a Mill."Cant wait for the Mill."
So whether iam working on making laser drivers or iam working on some handheld or DPSS laser labbies/Diode based labbies or working with laser crystals or just plain having fun and messing around its all done in this new room now.
Now i put this room together for several reason but one of the reasons is the main one and that is more table room. Before this i was limited to only a 5x5 foot work desk and the problem that i was having is and where alot of my slowness came from when work started picking up was i could really only work on one project at a given time. If i wanted to work on something else i would have to put away the first project to pull out the second project and so on every time i wanted to work on something new.
As you will see bellow Fixed that issue by adding more table top space and now i can work or 5-6 project easy at one time without having to worry about having to move one out of the way to work on something else. Its great. If you add in the optical table room i bet you i can get up to 8 things going at once.:wave:
So i pulled everything out of the room "Sorry i dint even think at the time to take picture of it when i did" and i painted all the walls again, did the trim and started to put everything back in.
Here it is 90% put back together:
Panoramic view:
Computer and driver making section. "Note i have a temporary USB cable running from my computer to the other side of the room in order to plug my spectrometer in or any labbies that require Commands via RS232. I have a second old laptop that will go on the other side of the room with the spectrometer and stuff as its a little pain in the but to have to go back and forth to view the screen when your doing a spectra test report":
Here is the added extended table in the center of the room. Gives me alot of more work room and space under the table to put stuff on:
Here is the optical table section. You can see a shelf on the right hand side. I plain on adding one more shelf there maybe 2 to make it 3 shelf total but iam not sure yet. I also plain on adding more shelving around the room especially behind the scope and to the left of the computer wall which you cant see in the first image above But here is the optical table section. I still need to add the my other power supply and my other laser diode driver power supply:
Here is another view. You can see the wall behind the scope where i plain on putting 2 small shelves there or possible just one:
Just the table. You can see i add a 1x1 foot extension but normally i dont need it, it just fits perfect on the table just encase i do need it:
Here is the table when i first got it home. I got a killer deal on this optical table. It was Brand New Mint and never used but just had shelf wear a little on the bottom side of the board. I was so happy. Probably when it was laying on something. The top side though is mint no damage not even a tiny scratch on it. So for now iam using the bottom side facing up till i get use to using it and move everything back in as i dont want to damage the perfect top on the top side on it accidentally There is no difference using the top or bottom side its both the same thing.
The Optical Table is a Thorlabs 2 x 4 feet with 1/4"-20 tap holes. Its 1/2" thick with 5 mounting holes for rubber feet. Got it for $500 "What a steel huh.?"
Additionally i have 2 smaller optical boards as you see in the right of the image. They go for only ~$100 Bucks or so..
1) Is a 1' x 1' foot 1/4"-20 at 1/2" table from Thorlabs
2) is a 12" x 10" Inch 1/4"-20 at 1/2" table from Thorlabs also.
Optical Table:
Hopefully you guys will get to see me use it alot.:wave:
I also got all the stuff to go with the optical table but i wont go into to much detail on that stuff but i have 10 fully complete XYZ stages. variety brands. several single stages,optical mounts, Fiber mounts,bars,posts,clamps diode holders etc etc... All the stuff basically one needs. Though far from having a decent variety iam slowly getting there.
Here is also a Video i shot of the room:
This shows it better how its still needs a little more to go till its complete.
Hope you guys like it. I love the new work room.:beer:

I have alot of laser stuff and do alot of work on and laser and having limited table space no longer was cutting it.
