That looks staged. Laughing

My bench is an embarrassment of work in progress. A ladder is at one end, upgrading my attic TV antenna needs to get done before it gets warm. At the back behind it is a couple '56 to '59 door handles, one to replace the left handle but not the chrome surround, the other replace the surround on the drivers door. Then there is the aluminum with dykem and scribe lines on it for my custom reserve handle extension bracket, and a line of tools along the front edge for the next steps in its creation. The new bracket will be shiny, and push the handle down creating space for a black button above the handle (wired to provide mist mode for my oval wipers.) At the far end is a bench grinder bolted to the table and behind that is some books (VW and electronics) that I cover before grinding. One of my original wheels with an OLD bias ply whitewall tire on it leans against the front of the bench (the other 3 are leaning against the storage next to the bench.) Wow, my workbench is only 6 feet long and looks like crap -- I don't think I want to share a picture of it. Shocked

This is a bench picture at CURRENT SINK SYSTEMS taken during the prototype development and testing of the Sapphire Radio Bluetooth receiver.

I provide a modification service for a 6 or 12 Volt Sapphire radios with an internal Bluetooth receiver. The external appearance of the radio remains 100% factory original.
