Thank you Paul for all the time and effort you put into your lab, projects and sharing your knowledge with all us that want to learn.
Yes, more shop talk videos. I think all of us who have done work that has potential risks have stories to tell. I know I have quite a few.
just dropped the gas and gone back to firewood myself!@@XPFTP
Maybe add a rail system to the front of the bech to attach the LED lamp(s) to? The lamps can be postioned in two axes and pointed where you want and that frees up the floor space for comfort purposes. As to where you'd find a suitable rail accessory I'm afraid I have no idea though.
This video clearly and definitively shows the level of professionalism that Paul puts into the video. Lays aside any doubts.
Someone had doubts ?
@@InXLsisDeo No doubts here, Wish my shop looked that good
A full professional video studio that used to need a whole lot of support personnel done all by himself. This is where a good AI system would help a lot.
I don't know if there is a Mrs. Carlson , but God bless her heart for putting up with you and all this stuff in your lives. I hope
you never get burned out from doing what you do on YT. Love your electronics videos. Always something new to learn!
There is and I believe she helps out with some of the behind the scenes work. She's a medical photographer according to some older videos Paul's done. They both are VERY savy in video and photography. My other half is into photography as well. She even likes the vintage cameras. I just use my 2 mega pixel Olympus from 2002 to take pictures! Behind every great man is a great woman.
@@W1RMDthat's great to hear. It sounds like she is as awesome as he is.
What a great Lab, thank you for taking the time to share all you do with us ! Larry Owens
Superb studio. The passion you have for what you do is more than obvious!
+1 vote for electronics and small engines! Between your channel and @Mustie1, I've managed to fix things myself that were previously black magic to me. Honestly, I wonder if we could work out some kind of electronics repair meet-up where you can teach us repairs in person, and we help you blow through that queue of things to fix. 👍
Bad idea!
@@jimdavis6833 Why? If he's teaching us, it'd tend to be to his standard. Even if we screw some of it up, he wouldn't have to re-do _ALL_ of it.
I love the “tour” videos and the stories from your youth.
Wow, what an impressive lab and your basement is bigger than my whole house. Gotta love the shop too. Thanks for the behind the scenes look.
wow, freaking studio !
Wow. I’m impressed.
What production values!! The product speaks for itself, so I won't second guess the need for all that stuff to portray what you do in the excellent way it's done. Carry on, Mr. C.!
OMG that story about your car radio not working and you not fixing it for years is a mirror of me and my Tacoma. I have a Pioneer cd radio that stopped working two years ago and I keep saying I'm going to fix it but never seem to have the time. LOL !
Paul's the man. Period.
I am pretty sure we would love to watch you work on any of your personal electronics projects like that 50s car radio even if it airs in between an existing series.
Very nice what a spectacle so many beautiful things and radio all very tidy it is truly a beautiful collection congratulations
"I'll be standing here for ten hours..." Hey, you wanted to be in show business! Seriously though, I am in awe of your lab and your expertise, Mr. Carlson and awfully glad you share this content with us!
Absolutely INSANE! In the very best meaning of the word ...
Ohhh wow this is exciting. BTS MrCarlsons LAB!!!
Thank you for allowing us into your basement and shop. You have a nice place.
Thank you Mr. Carlson! I can't wait to show this to my wife.
Don’t you mean your ex ?😅
I was included in google's last batch of poor saps whose adblocker no longer works after almost 20 years of youtube bliss. Now I'm being bombarded with loud filthy disgusting 2 minute adverts. Huge relief to know today Mr Carlson's most holy ad-free site is still most wholly ad-free. God Bless you Sir ❤
Definitely more shop talk!
Loved the sneak peek. More stories would go down a treat too. Still reeling from the previous ones...
Thanks for the tour, Paul. What an awesome lab. 👍
That small mower is cute.
as someone that can hardly keep up with laundry and dishes your dedication is beyond admirable.
Ha, he lives on juice boxes and hot pockets..lol.
And I thought my lab and bench was cool..ha..in comparison, mine would be the back alley of a not so famous eatery...I retired the full time, no sleep stuff when Radio Shack became a phone store and tossed the hobbyists aside. Now I can barely see some of the components (smd) let alone reball a cpu anymore..wow. Atleast I can relive it all right here in this non fuming screen, though you might catch me puffing the smoke away from an iron during his videos from habit..lol
NEVER let the dream die, never stop learning.
@@Barracuda48082 I'm totally with you with the "puffing the smoke away" move! :D And the worsening eyesight: thank the gods for microscopes, but no thanks for SMDs. I'm always carrying a 5x watchmaker's eyepiece in my pocket.
@@Barracuda48082 100%
1206 scale (and larger) is the smd for people who hate smds. A wonderful size component to work with!@@IlBiggo
Paul, you never cease to amaze me over your drive and dedication in striving for perfection.
Television media follows in your shadow always.
One thing I can glean from this video, you have a gorgeous house. The mechanic remark is spot on.
will be my Xmas present, watching Mr C and a valve TV
unbelievably awesome!! That's the best playground I've ever seen. Your time management should be a course in itself. I'm in awe.
Agreed! I get lost in my projects so a video on that would be helpful.
Woww... we can only envy :-) Super Mr Paul ! 🙂 & 👍👍
Very cool! Like the small engines too.
I have a hunch that Mr. Carlson does not get bored. My Gosh Paul you got work everywhere.
So much working talent plus a CZcams video editor , script writer director and Star all rolled into Paul Carlson.
I can see you walking into a tour of Union Pacific Locomotive Steam shop and be hired on the spot. Or any vintage aircraft restoration especially the vintage electronics. Even Starfighter’s Aerospace Cape Kennedy would snap u up, to do your magic on the Lockheed F 104 Starfighter.
I do thank you Mr. Carlson for the in heart time you give all of us by the professional level of videos you post. I thank you again .
Best
Kristy
Thanks for your kind comment Kristy!
@@MrCarlsonsLab You’re so welcome Paul.
@@MrCarlsonsLab This guy's a HAM too.
love your shop al most look's like you need a whare house LOL. enjoy what you do.
I enjoy ALL your videos. Keep them coming!
Fantastic to see your complete and fantastic setup behind the scenes - and it is really awesome.
Yes, it is always interesting to learn about your past. Those vids are always welcomed.
Thank you Professor Carlson for taking us around your lab, pretty intense, you have some serious equipment................
You are welcome!
What an amazing place. All the tools to do what you love, and you will be busy for years to come. I love it when people are into restoring and repairing what is old and broken. Too many people are too quick to throw away and buy new.
My wife and I plan to have a dedicated work space for our interests when we have a place of our own. Nothing as extensive as yours though. There will be a shortwave radio nearby.
I am very! very!! Impressed with your shop! I want to watch all of these wonderful Machines brought back to Life. Remember all if we throw away everything! We teach our kids that everything we make is Just trash?? Is that what we want the generations to come thinking? It is all just trash? Mr Carlson is doing a Great Service showing us how to fix the art we call machines. I admire his talent and mission to fix and teach us magnets and magic.
I just want to say thank you to Mr Carlson for all of your top notch videos. I am a collector and i restore vintage radios. It is so nice to see someone who is like myself, very particular in every restoration that you do. Every detail is covered. I will soon be a patron! Thanks again for your hard work and dedication!
Always good to see the behind the scenes of Mr. C's lab. I do prefer the video of modern equipment repair, like smps and inverters, but I always learn a lot from the restauration videos. Keep It going, Paul!
You are the first person that I've heard that has Dissed Geothermal --- but you bring up an excellent point.
I think a lot of the info is just regurgitated by people that really don't know about them. They use "Incredible" amounts of electricity. The heat that comes out of the registers in the floor is not like natural gas heat, it's just gently warm. In the winter, in cold weather, the compressor and furnace will run 24 hours a day (common for a geothermal system.) Think of this like having your electric cloths dryer on 24 hours a day. The upside is, its an air conditioner in the summer that will keep up to the hottest weather, and if you are concerned about running a natural gas furnace, this is the next best thing.... But you will pay for it.
Paul,
I’m so green with envy over your shop. I would be happy just to have the workbench space. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into each video. You remind me so much of Paul Wilson, my electronics class professor in college, so patient and willing to take the time to explain causes and effects. Thank you for allowing me to relive my youth via your videos.
Mr Carlsons lab you are good at restoring vintage radios and alignment of vintage radios 📻 my friend 📻
Mr C, I so much love your restoration videos. As a child of the fifties I can remember the sights, sounds and and smells of the old tube radios. I loved listening to the DX stations which came booming in during the night. The glow of the tubes illuminated my bedroom. As the tubes warmed up the radios gave off a distinctive aroma which I found somewhat enjoyable.😊
My father was an biomedical engineer. He taught me so much. I used to stand by his side and watch him troubleshoot, not only the instrumentation that he brought home to repair but all the radios and TVs that he worked on for his personal use and for family and friends. There was never an electronic project that he didn't tackle. I was fascinated when i would watch him align receivers, replace dial cords and have the radios tuned so that the stations would always be correct on the dial face.
He sparked my interests in electronics and all things mechanical. This was the beginning of my interest in electronics and ham radio. I went to a technical high school which taught my so much that I used throughout my working career and which i still use to this day.
Watching your videos brings me so much enjoyment. The nostalgia factor is so heart warming remembering those days with my dad.
Even though I have recently purchased modern ham transceivers my favorite one is the 50 year old Drake TR-4C, I also have a Heathkit amplifier of the same vintage. I rebuilt the amplifier but I don't have the equipment to work on the transceiver so other than the power supply which i rebuilt, I had another ham restore it. I love powering them up and watch them come to life as the glow of the tubes light up.
They work today just as they did when they were first manufactured.
Please keep up the good work that you do.
73, Mr. Carson 😊
omg , I saw some valve TV's . this is awesome news
Paul, it's great to know your workshop. Lots of stuff that remember me the old days when I also put my hands on any electronic device. What a really greatful days!!
Your shop is nice, with plenty of space and well ordered. Everything is on its place.
This kind of videos are fine because shows us the most human part of you, not only the technical aspect. Do you work alone, Paul? It would be great a little help from a friend or an assistant. This way things will be done much faster.
Thanks for your dedication.
Greetings from VIGO, Spain.
Brill video - love these background and story videos. More from your past please Mr C!
I really enjoy the off the wall, behind the scenes and different videos. I love electronics but I am a mechanic by trade. I have 2 mig welders and a huge stick welder. And I won't even get into all of the woodworking stuff. Hobbies are awesome. And knowledge is power!
Thanks, Paul
Can't wait for the home audio video!
Paul, awesome video! I have a 5500 square foot house that is being built not counting the basement. I plan to build my electronic lab/shop in the basement. From you video it looks like you have a day light basement where your shop is located. Thank you for sharing because it give me ideas on how to set mine up. I have around 4 to 5 thousand tubes in stock and I too want to locate or build some type of software package to help with the inventory. We learn great ideas when we share what works for each of us. Please keep up the great work!!
Great video!!! and a lot of electronics und vintage. Wonderful!!!
Dr. Carlson thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
My pleasure!
great stuff! Looking forward to your videos and learn more and more..Thanks!
Would love to see more ham radio repair vids.
The lab is looking more organized.
What a fantastic place! Put in a home theater system and a nice big screen in that seating area and you would never have to go home!! Keep the vids coming Mr. C.
Nice lab Paul and good to hear you shout out to Shango and Bandy. What is it with guys like us small engines, valve amps, anything amuses us.
stories, hallway, and small engines... lets go! Thanks
Man, this is what I call living the dream!
It's crazy how much effort goes on in making one video, i never thought it would be that much and so much equipment needed.
But since i'm also into old cars and engines, i would like to see your car someday, i always wondered what kind of car you have and i would apreciate to see the car radio restored
Wow, just wow!
Wow the high efficiency speakers wih Altec compression chambers look awesome ! With your amps, it must sound incredible !
Loved seeing the behind the scenes of your lab! Thank you.

I'd love to see the power cords and outlets for the bench equipment and also, how many breakers in your main panel. Or just a few minutes showing your main panel(s) and entrance!
great stuff, fascinating space, as to your saying re the car radio, we might say in Scotland 'cobblers kids don't have shoes'
Yes... I did enjoy the video very much :) I like nerds and you're one of the best ones, so with that... keep it up and looking forward to more videos from you... and ofc, a very neat lab you got there! I don't know why but you somehow remind me of Gordon Freeman...
Wow, what a shop! The little reel mower looks like a Jacobsen. I have one similar that my cousin gave me and a garden tractor too. They made some nice equipment.
Need some rubber grommet vibration isolation on them water pumps. Like in a PC or an device with a noisy electric fan. A bit of insulation works wonders.
Very impressive laboratory. Huge improvement, and not just with lighting, video and sound. Space to actually repair various devices has become so much more efficient.
The Shop Talk episodes are very interesting. Battle stories from a veteran electrical engineer. More please.
What a huge house !
This is just the workshop. The house is another building
This is Ali Baba's cave !
Wow. Just wow.
Really enjoyed it, do like this type for a change once and a while.
It's more fun to be busy, than to be bored.
You really got it "going on" Paul.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Paul - really interesting as always...
I'd really enjoy seeing one of those EICO 460's get rebuilt. Thanks for all you do for us!
Nice video, thanks for the update. 73
And the winner of “The ultimate man cave of all time” goes to…
I’m just redoing my (well equipped) lab with a new bench and storage, it’s MAYBE 1/20th of this lab. Very impressive!
Thank you for all your hard work Paul!
Goodness sake Mr Carlson, you must be well to do!!
What an incredible setup! Awesome lab
I appreciate your videos very much thank you
Yes, it would be great to hear some more shop talk from you. Here's an episode from my past: Back in the early '80s I was an apprentice TV engineer for a TV rental company. I worked in the workshop with some of the older guys who didn't want to drive about servicing TVs at customer's houses and preferred being on the bench. One old guy (who I won't name and has probably passed away by now) used to go to the pub at lunch time and would often be seen asleep on the neck of a tube (CRT) in the afternoon. As an apprentice I had to do the teas and coffees for everyone. One day I made him a tea and put it in a mug with a hole drilled in the bottom and filled with transformer wax. (Don't worry the tea was nowhere near anything electric). Another trick I did was to put a low voltage capacitor in a safe block when he was out of the room. When he came back in I would walk by his bench and flip the fuse over on the safe block a few moments later there would be a loud crack a shoot of smoke and bits of capacitor everywhere. Poor guy, he always took my pranks in good humour. I'm so glad there's no idiot around me pulling pranks like that now I'm the older guy!
Woah. That’s a lot of electronics! Neat though!
Mr Carlsons lab your new mr Carlsons lab is awesome my friend 🎄
Yes yes yes to more stories! i'll watch anything from you, but im quite keen to hear your stories :)
I don't know how you keep all that stuff straight in your head. I consider it a major achievement if I get a 30 second video on YT successfuly with my peasant grade iPhone 6S+ and Sony Handycam! Thanks for the peek behind the curtain.
Yes indeed! More stories AND small engines, please! 😊😊😊
Wow what a lifetime of stories in that shop. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, we want more life stories!
thx paul
love them crazy time videos
WOW !! Now that is one heck of a lab !! I can't believe all the stuff you have !!!!!!
Very cool!
My advice on the standing mats: Cut out pieces that you can glue to the bottom of your shoes. That way you are on the standing mat no matter where you are in the lab, and the mats aren't in the way.
Wow look at C series Cine Camera. Mr. Carlson, I don't ever envision less than total professional. You are my mentor for all things electronic, and professional. Your care, and process to me is still best there is. Very nice setup.
Wow, great video.
Thanks Dave!
Amazing lab!! BTW, IKEA also has tasty Swedish meatballs...
They do!
You understood the most important thing of all when making a good viewing experience, light setting. This is something that even 3D artists today struggle with, it's an underappreciated artfom and essential for a pleasant viewing experience, your studio light setup speaks volumes of your attention to detail, combine that with your extreme attention to detail when it comes to explaining your work/fault-finding process with expertise I can only admire - and you have your winning recipé. Well deserved success I'd say.
I never use tripods for my lights or camera. Get a couple of round base telescopic mic stands and adapt them, the footprint is much smaller. Increase the weight of the base if necessary.
