Let's see your bench / tool setup

Recommended Posts

Interested in how folks have their benches / tools set up and what they use. I'll start with my rather humble getup (in the workshop over my washer and dryer - hey, you make space where you can).

Lume and enamel, also crystal and metal polishing and cleaning stuff in that box (and air brush goodies that I mostly just use for directed air)

Certainly the most used in my setup - sometimes not with much precision ..... :death star:

Nice setup OP.

 

I'm actually looking for a watch tool kit say from ebay.

 

I don't want a $30 POS, but don't want to spend $400 either.

 

Anyone have something they'd recommend with a good case back opener jaxa type that fits watches over 33 mm (want more like up to 45, but so many kits on ebay max out at 33, extra spring pins, case knife, pin removal tool, silicone grease, anti-mag tweezers, and whatever else I might need :)

 

Basically something like this: http://www.bostonwatchexchange.com/servlet/the-352/29-Piece-Tool-Kit/Detail

 

That doesn't cost as much as an ap diver.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

 

However, I'm in Canada and the order email quoted something like $50 to ship. :(

 

Australia to Canada is a long distance unfortunately.

Yep - learning more every day (more error than trial). I have actually worked on some of the pieces I've posted reviews on (but forget to take "before" pics). I'll do a better job of shooting the before and after shots as I continue -

Nice setup. I'm thinking of getting a bench & various accessories in place of where i normally make all my repairs/adjustments- on my computer desk with a towel in front of my computer.
