Happy New Workbench

For the summer solstice I got a brand new second hand stainless steel bench top. Which by coincidence turns out to be the answer to the question "What do you get the man who has everything", apparently.

Turning to my cliché handbook, it turns out that when life gives you bench tops, you make workbenches. I needed a second standing desk for out on the deck and for hardware hacking, so under the watchful eye of a pair of local King Parrots I gathered some spare timber to cobble together a standing workbench for the bench top.

There's a lot more work to be done on that desk but with stage 1 at least completed, it was time to install it on the deck, ready to hack 2019 away :-D

Yes, that is the Australian Sun reaching in, in the background to kill us all.

The astute amongst you will have also noticed the (empty) Lagavulin and Talisker bottles propping up my laptop so they're both physically and metaphorically supporting my work.

Looks like I've already put my hand up for some hacks on Termonad to be the first piece of work completed from the new deck desk, apart from this post of course :-D

So now that leaves me with an inside and an outside standing desk as well as a hammock to work from. Not sure what says about me, I'll leave that up to you.
