Nice looking station you've got set up there Robert.
Like Alan mine is far from tidy....more eclectic, or as the missus would say a 'flipping mess!'

I know some people strive to and manage to obtain the most exemplary clean looking stations possible Robert.....unfortunately I'm not one of them!
I'm always tinkering though so I've got bits of wire, components, connectors and all sorts of junk laying around. Plans are afoot to make a big desk and tidy up somewhat, knowing me though it'll soon be covered back in components and reels of solder.
I do however really appreciate a well equipped and tidy station though Robert and thank you for sharing yours with us all here at CT.
All the best, Victor

Very nice station with some nice gear there.
Mine is sort of tidy but spiders leave quite a mess if left alone. My shack is basically my old home made astronomy shed and I have to share it with various types of spider.
