- Which are the essential tools in a lab? Which one do I use and how am I organized? A video for all which are curious about how it looks behind the camera. Maybe you discover something you can use for your own work?
This is also my first "real" appearance on CZcams. I thought it is time after 200 videos...

White Glove tour through Herr Spiess' drawers? YES, PLEASE!
What kind of secrets would you expect? Most probably you would be disappointed ;-)
I would like to see you lab-tour. Yours must be much more interesting. Or did I miss it?
We need to see an Ave + Andreas Spiess project !!!
Ave uncle bumblefuck always on the best videos
If you don't have at least two-three type of gloves in your lab, you obviously need to improve your knowledge and working environment. What is presented here is not a "Swiss mentality" at work, but it is a proper mentality at work. You don't have to be Swiss to work properly, because everyone can acquire useful practices and habits. This increases efficiency and reduces risk. Excellent example from Mr. Spiess IMO.
Ja wuhndabar !
live longer than that table plz.
OMG! I and my wife watched your video in awe. I am so stunned. I have Soul of a Machine and Skunk Works too! Ken Olden was my Hero CEO. Now the drawers were just awesome. I have plastic boxes but each one a different shape and size. Nothing stacks or is visible. I i have to search by opening them up. Nothing is sorted 100%. I have so mych work to do but you gave me a model to follow or at least begin with. Thank You so much. I build Model Trains. And I 3D print train parts I have dremels and will grind anywhere so chip fly all over Not Good. I just started ESP32 and ESP 8266 development to control train engines and smoke and sounds. I had OctoPi on my printer and a One 31 inch monitor for design. But i also have a demo and test station for assembled chassis of trains. So actually more table tops but less work space some how. I am so encouraged. Thank You, Dennis & Margaret in Virginia
Glad you liked my setup! Do you know this channel by chance: czcams.com/users/IoTTCloud It is also made by a Swiss and combines your two hobbies (Trains and ESP32)
"It is packed with a lot of uneccesary equipment, according to my wife" --- My garage/lab is described in EXACTLY the same way. :)
Maybe they are sisters and we do not know ;-)
@@AndreasSpiess no, they're just women
Thank you for your channel and the risk of going into making a business of it. I have learned a significant amount from you and you saved me money avoiding behaviours and also by not purchasing and testing items that I need not to as you have done the work. I live in a highrise and my workshop (room) is on the 28th floor so my set up is a little different mostly the view that I usually block to concentrate, only to find that it is 9pm by the time I realise another day has gone. Also, great to see you sneak in a little humour as well to make the subjects enjoyable as well as sensible and solid content. Thanks and take care.
Thank you for your nice words!
I knew your channel would grow so big since a long time, but 70.000 is still impressive. Congratulations! You've earned it :)
Thank you for your longtime support!
The Goal is the most important book I ever read for business. I used those lessons for 15 years as an operations consultant. I highly recommend it as must-read material!
I completely agree. I gave many books away to young people.
You are such a wonderful person Andreas. Well dressed, humble, kind and extreamly nowledgeable. If wish I had you as a teacher in school, then I would have actually attended class. Instead I quit school. I've learned much more from CZcams and from testing things in life. Keep up your glorious work!
Thank you for your kind words!
Andreas, you're doing an incredible job here and quite pioneering in terms of CZcams content. You're showing the practicalities of maker work, and providing invaluable insight that doubtless took years of experience to gather - and here we are, gobbling it up for free. For that myself (and many others, I fathom) are very grateful. Keep it up!
You are welcome! It is a pleasure for me.
I still remember I find this channel when I was searching for how to make Dupoint wires. Your video was one of the best to explain it to beginner. Thank you for your videos.
You are welcome. These old tricks still simplify my life ;-)
I found this channel while searching which one of many available variants of ESP32 boards to buy. The (numbered) video about that topic was recommended by quite a few people in the comments section.
Thank you Andreas. I really appreciate you spending time to make your videos! I've been seeing your work for a while now. Keep going!
You are very welcome!
It's so good to have a space for yourself and your (now) hobby. Great video as always, I was quite curious about a few things and they were all covered here. Thank you!
Glad you found what you were searching for. I had a few questions over time and thought, the 200th video would be a good occasion to answer some of them.
Andreas, thanks for sharing all about your maker lab and setup. Thanks too for sharing The Goal by Dr Goldratt with your audience... truly life changing stuff there to learn. You packed a great deal into this weeks video. Thanks for being such a great contributor, and sharing what you know with others!
I do not remember how often I gave one of these books to colleagues....
Great video !!!!! Almost describing my lab with a lot of hints for improvements.
Thank you!
What a pleasure this was to watch. Thank you - you are a true craftsman.
Thank you!
Perfect timing! I have been watching your videos for a while (thank you for doing them!) and started experimenting with various wireless modules as well. I just started thinking about how my desk wasn't working as I keep adding parts and tools. This gave me some good ideas to modify for myself.
So you are on the same track as me. Maybe I started a little earlier...
One of my favourite layouts, it's a shame people don't do more lab tours. No matter how rubbish they think their setup is, I find it useful for ideas on building my own figuring out what works and what doesn't
Thank you. Usually those videos are not too successful. Maybe this is the reason.
"Soul of the new machine" - the book that made software and hardware design come alive for me. I read it at uni back in 86 and I recommend it to all too.
:-)
"Not everything worth doing is worth doing well."
Some of my family worked at Data General at the time. They said the book was a very accurate description of the culture during the early days. The employees never figured how the author got it so right. Of course the book only had space to focus on a few people, but industry knew DG was full of top-tier, very hungry engineers.
northshorepx
But it sounds old do you still recommend it though ???
If you want to learn to build your own computer, don't read it, not even back in the 80's. Otherwise, it is a very compelling read, take a look: books.google.nl/books?id=oRg3AQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+Soul+of+A+New+Machine&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD-orps_PaAhXQsKQKHWIVDzoQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=The%20Soul%20of%20A%20New%20Machine&f=false
Your channel is a pure gold nugget on the internet. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Very helpful. I was amazed at how much this looks like my work area. Many of the tips are things I’ve already discovered myself. Thank you!
Fantastic! So you are also a happy man like me.
Thanks!
:-)
Thanks for the insight.
I never knew you could get black hot glue
ArcanePath360 me neither: m.aliexpress.com/wholesale/black-hot-glue-sticks.html
You even get other colors for Christmas decoration
I recently ordered glitter hot glue: www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-set-Mix-Color-Glitter-Hot-Melt-Glue-Stick-Adhesive-Sticks-Kit-Craft-Attaching-For-Electric/32795491560.html
Unfortunately, it hasn't arrived yet, though.
I'm guessing all these additives take away the strength of the glue. Usually I just spray paint over it if I need to blend it in with anything so I probably will never buy coloured hot glue.
Me either😀😀😀😀😀, but I’m defiantly getting some and another glue gun 👍
I am starting a makers' lab and found this video incredibly helpful. Thanks! Please make more such videos to further acquaint us with the workings of your amazing lab. Bravo!
Thank you for your nice words!
Hi Andreas, after having seen a lot of your videos, where I admire your high level engineering efforts, it was very interesting to see your lab, practical and “bodenständig“! Thanks a lot.
You are welcome!
I use alcohol every day too 🍻
That cracked me up too :-)
:-))
Great one
Try a famous Swiss 🇨🇭 wine "Fendant" and you will use less 🙊
Not a fan of brain melting hangovers?
I used to have quite a big lab myself, but recently I have been on the way of being minimalistic. So only have a few assortments, mostly just order parts when I really need them. Most people don't realise you don't need much and in fact you can do most by thought experiments and simulating parts. On a personal level it gave me a lot more rest.
Piet Muijs How do you simulate the parts?
There are software simulation tools. Important is that you don't simulate the entire circuit, but parts of it
Maybe it also has to do with the character. I like to touch things ;-)
Watching this two years and 200k subscribers later, love to see the growth in your channel Andreas!
Me too ;-) It is mindboggling for me.
Great display of assets and a spectacular character using them. I always look forward to your videos and your wit. Thank you for your time and efforts.
Thank you for your nice words!
i suggest having a look at "sortimo t-boxx" boxes (they also make cabinets with rails, for multiple boxes) or, if you want a cheaper alternative, "allit europlus" boxes (you need to make the cabinet yourself). they are a great combination of carrying case and parts bin (the lid has ridges that keep the bins in place and prevent the components from mixing). you can use them for specific parts, or 1 box per project.
Thank you for your suggestions. They look very professional and very flexible, but also a little more expensive compared with mine (at least the second choice). But they are available even in Switzerland which is an advantage.
yes, the allit boxes are about 2x or 3x the price of the ikea samla boxes (the sortimo ones are even more expensive), and they are much smaller, but the advantage is the small bins that can be taken out individually. they also make a "double" model with a carry handle, i have one of these in the car:
www.sichtboxen.com/allit-457236-sortimentskasten-europlus-duo-flex-37-28.html
not as good quality as sortimo, but much cheaper.
Here in Brazil we know Swiss as country that do top quality stuff, like the pocket knifes and watches. It would not be different with someone with electronics hobby! Very nice place, thanks for sharing with us!
You are welcome!
Love every video you made, you are humble, easy going and really wise. Keep on with the good material
Thank you for your nice words!
Dear Andreas, as a Belgian guy with a South-African accent, and living in Vienna, I really enjoy your movies! Great to see that there are still professionals around that like to share their hobbies and experiences - free of charge. I am currently discovering my 2nd life of engaging in things that I have always wanted to do... Like so many people, with an engineering education, I never had the chance to pursue my hobby (electrical stuff) in the professional (=work) world. As a result I have been stuck with boring bureaucratic software engineering stuff (read programming) of which you rarely see real benefit added value, at the end of the day, as 90% of programs are designed for useless processes in the first place. As a near-pensioner, and a biking (bicycle fanatic), I plan to engage in an electrical bicycle project - as i have a couple of practical ideas that I want to explore. Please keep up your great movies, as - each one of them have been very useful and fun to watch!...
So good luck with this new phase of your life. And enjoy building an electric bike. My wife enjoys riding one. Since ten years...
It is all your fault! You showed me, how to order cheap electronics from china. So I spent lots of money buing all these things. Recently the N1201SA vector analyzer !
But not my Rigol scope, this was Dave Jones fault ! Good luck and lots of fun with next 200 vids. Thank you Andreas, 73 !
It is always good to have somebody else who is guilty ;-) Makes life easier!
Enjoy your new vector analyzer!
I tell my wife, its not me, its these enablers on youtube that made me buy it.
Step 1: "Establish a clear line of blame" ...
And a good line of credit.
You should appear more and also Mishka
We call her "Dishka", which seems to mean "Mouse" in its proper language. I am a little ashamed of that name for a cat. But we did not choose. She came from an asylum.
Don't be Ashamed she seems to be a well taken care cat. She even has an automatic feeder! LOL. Kudos to you too to have her adopted I got 2 dogs myself adopted one from a Shelter and one from the streets directly ;)
Andreas Spiess , I didn't know that cats knew their names 😼
Wow , very impressive lab.. I do appreciate all the tips ..I plan to re-watch it a couple times so it all sinks in since it all seems so logical and efficient..
This is one advantage of CZcams: The know-how is saved and can be used when needed...
Thanks for sharing this video. It gives a good impression of your (hobby-)work. The best idea in my opinion are the empty shells. I am using always them in my projects. The modded shells give stability to the circuit. Keep going your good work!
Thank you. And you are right with the stability. Single wires have the tendency to fall off. This never happens with multi-pin headers.
I'm curious and am sure as a lot of other subscribers are...
2:17... You always seem to be wearing white woven gloves when working on electronics.
You had states once that it was a personal reason...
Yet at 1:14 and 1:17 and 14:28 we can easily see your hands and they look just fine. So why the need for the white gloves ??
lasersbee To avoid dirtying hands/static, maybe?
Vivek Venkat Subramaniam ... Nitrile gloves would make makes more sense and have better dexterity.
jk44 v2... There is something about Y/T channels not being transparent or responding to valid questions... Just saying
jk44 v2... Thanks for the additional info. Hmmm Nail Clippers come to mind... ;)
I understand that 70k subscribers are a lot... but not all 70k subs leave a comment. It is quite easy to disable comments if it was overwhelming for him to answer questions. Seems like he won't respond to this one if the fingernail thing is the actual thing. Have a great day.
You can watch my channel update around the last Christmas if you are interested
Thanks for sharing your lab setup with us, very inspiring and I love your videos, keep up the good work!
Best regards,
Gamal
Thank you!
Best electronic lab tour and beginners guide in making one.
Thank you!
Hi Andreas
Of all of the many videos you have produced that I have watched I found this the most useful. Now to set up something similar!
Enjoy the setup!
Great video! 👍😃 I really loved the books you shared and the exploration about the 3D printer! 😊
Thank you!
I think you deserve every subscription and compliment because your videos are in my opinion the best videos in the segment by far! As soon as I can I intend to support you maybe as patron. Congratulations!! (And thank you!)
Thank you for your nice words. I am glad you like the channel!
This was of great use for the lab I am working on, God bless you Andreas Spiess! 🙏 😄💻
Cool. I hope you will get a wonderful lab with lots of projects!
You are one of my fav channel on DIY electronics and i am really thankful to you for sharing such wonderful videos. Please keep up the good work :)
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for sharing your life and lab, Andreas. I recall the DEC PDP-8 was the first computer I 'programmed' in engineering school.
I also used a PDP-8 at my first work. Then I got a TRS-80 for me alone ;-)
Thanks Andreas for the tour behind the screen. Much appreciated.
You are welcome!
Nicely done! I really enjoyed watching the "back story" and your book recommendations are spot-on :)
Thank you!
Hi Andreas , Thank you very for taking your time to share you knowlage and idea to setup the Lab . I will keep up your guidance . Regards.
You are welcome! Enjoy your hobby.
Hello from Chandler, AZ USA. Thank you for a view into your lab. I enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you for your feedback!
Awesome insight! Thanks for sharing your lab's features - many of them I recognize compared with my very little lab and I got some additional ideas.. like the binocular. nice.
The binocular indeed is one of the most-used instruments in my lab. But I am 65...
@@AndreasSpiess I have just an architect's desk lamp with an integrated very huge lens which helps me when soldering small components. I'll keep this binocular in mind for later :-) I am 49. ;-)
Thank you for sharing :) I have seen people struggling to find a part in their lab. Have to say the lab is neatly arranged.
You are welcome!
I was repairing fuel injection equipment in the past buying mechanic tools and equipment. But since I joined an Electric vehicle company, I got to learn a lot of things. Your videos helped me in controlling motors and sensors using arduino. Thanks!
Glad to read that!. I still own a regular diesel, but the next seems to be an electric car, too...
Thanx Andreas for help and inspire us!
You are welcome!
Hi Andreas, you've inspired me to get organised in my office / workshop.. Thanks !
You are welcome!
I loved the part. Written by Ken Olsen, the founder of DEC, the best compagny I worked for.. I remember this time, as I was sitting in the same compagny and room as you Andreas. Regards Frape
I think I know who you are. Initials: F-P. Tsch? Everything ok on your side?
Nice to see your lab. And especially the book tips! Thanks and keep up the good work!
You are welcome!
Thanks from Ecuador.. love your videos
You are welcome!
Hi Andreas! What a great book it was "Soul of a new machine" !
And probably still is. I have to read it once again.
I basically skipped over almost all the books you showed after you mentioned, they came from a "fromer time". At some glance, I noticed a goldish cover and though: "This must be 'The Art of Electronics'": I got this myself and this is still top notch! It really teaches you a lot for your projects and is still updated from time to time (last revision was like 5 years ago?) - Even though its first release was almost 45 years ago!!!
This is for sure a very good book if you are interested in electronics.
Andreas, It is not surprise that Your channel is getting more and more subscribers. Your videos are very good: they are explained well, very educational and very professional. Good Job!
Thank you!
Great job sir.! I'm inspired and more convince to learn electronics by your impressive setup.
Go for it!
Sir I wish to buy a variable power supply and arduino kit set for programing.
I'm just starting my journey with Arduino and other microcontrollers and from the first sight I know that I'm going to visit your channel regularly.
Great channel. Thank you sir!
Thank you. And welcome to the channel.
Soul of a new machines. That was great book. Yes, the first network.
I should read it again!
Thank you for this lovely dose of insight into your work. This is so full of good tips!
Glad you liked it!
@@AndreasSpiessI'm not going to lie... I'm fan-girling with two replies from a technical inspiration like you! Ich liebe deinen CZcams-Kanal. ich lerne deutsch, haben sie parallel einen kanal mit videos auf deutsch? Vielen Dank!
@@xavierdemers-bouchard2747 Nein, ich habe keinen deutschsprachigen Kanal 😞
Thank you for all your work you do.
You are welcome!
We think alike, got all the same storage items. Do need to get the glue guns but I do have compressed air to dry off boards after cleaning, old SCUBA tank works great. Thanks for all the nice videos.

You are welcome. It is a pleasure to have such subscribers...
Always great to see your videos Andreas!
Thank you!
Super intéressant, merci beaucoup Andreas.
De rien!
Thank you Andreas,
Very good workplace
Go ahead.
Glad you like it!
Very nice lab with lots of helpful tips!
Thank you!
Excellent work Andreas. The felt on the back of the boards looks to be a great idea. I'll be using that in the future. :)
Simple and cheap. One sheet can be used for many boards.
thanks for your all videos in youtube always help me to understanding electronics and make my ideas to come to real life and finish my project’s :)
Glad my videos are helpful!
Again nice Sunday morning entertainment ! Wonderfull overview of you lab. I recognized many parts that I'm using myself, especially the Ikea stuff... The books overview is interessting. I know the feeling of keeping them. I have almost 40 years of Elektors... which to me are more like a treasure. Anyway, you inspired my to speed up the work on my shed in the back yard. Hopefully I'll get it finished by the fall. Btw, the comment/remark of your wife in the beginning of the video, sounds.... so familiar...
Good luck and as some other of my favourite CZcamsr often says: 'Stay creative !'
I really hope you get your shed before the next winter. It is very convenient to have space where you can organize as you want and keep it there...
"Soul of a new machine" read it when I was a teenager... blast from the past and a classic...
:-)
Very nice book suggestions. I love the "breakthrough" brought by plastic boxes. It's true that it's so important to have some form of organized space, makes your mind so much lighter.
Living in an organized mess is alway better than just a mess ;-)
Andreas, an old DEC colleague and friend of mine Andy Clark - also ex CERN) used to have ZERO office desk space with HUGE piles of stuff on it. His was one of the most organised "messes" ever. He ALWAYS knew EXACTLY where in the vast piles of stuff (close to 1m high!!) where a particular document or article was ... UNTIL he was told by some bosses to TIDY IT UP and follow the "clear desk" policy. After very reluctantly doing so he had difficulty finding anything. Just goes to show.
We had a similar person. He was brilliant.
I used to go self organized stack, but at one point it became a burden on my brain. Especially pushing from fragile setups were things would get in the way, nothing was flat...
Very nice video, with a lot of personal secrets. That encourages me to build also my new LAB!
Good idea!
Andreas vielen danke für deinen video...your videos does not show your work...it shows your passion...I incidentally discover electronics now I love these things. Thanks to great channels like your. Inspiring me to discover my true potential every day.
Liebe aus Indien...
viele glück...
Thank you. Actually, electronics is my hobby. Maybe that is the reason for my passion ;-)
Congratulations Andreas for your 70k+ subscribers
Thank you.
We love you Herr Andreas! Keep the good work!
Thank you!
Nice...informative and shows how to keep lab very well. Thank you for the great ideas..
Thanks for watching!
Nice lab. I didn't know there were left handed calipers, perhaps when I shop for a better set, I will investigate them. However, at this point, I've become accustomed to most right handed tools and often find it an advantage to have my dominant hand free and to practice keeping my right hand agile. Thanks for the tour.
You are welcome. Here I also use both hands. However, I find some tools better if used with the left hand.
Awesome - thanks for sharing. Lot's of good and useful info.
You are welcome!
Thank you for your videos, youve really helped me on my way to learning in the maker scene. Proud to be a sub.
You are welcome!
Thank you for your inspiring videos!
And congratulations with 70000 subscribers!
You are welcome!
What a great place! Thanks for the tour.
You are welcome!
This is awesome, thanks Andreas!
Thank you Andreas for the video. Amazing always.
You are welcome!
I'm in the process of cleaning up and organizing my lab. Thanks - i got some good ideas!
You are welcome!
Wonderful video, congrats.
Thank you!
I love your lab- this is like life goals stuff for me
Thank you. I am at the end of my professional life. So it seems to fit ;-)
you are a dream come true !!! remarcable lab ! loved it ! danke!
You are welcome!
Thank you sir for introducing Evernote to us.
You are welcome!
After your video I bought the book about electronic troubleshooting and installed the evernote, thanks!
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing. You are an inspiration.

This is defititely very informative and very helpfull to improve my lab. Thank you. Looking forward to see more of your great videos (there are a aleady a lot ...)
Thank you!. Yes, more than 300 videos. Astonishing for me, too...
Thank you Andreas ! This will help me designing my workshop
You are welcome!
Cool, I like your videos. Finally you showed yourself.
I always thought, I am no big attraction ;-)
Danke vielmal für die inspirierenden Videos, Andreas! Weiter so!
Bitte, gern geschehen!
