Awesome, Trans_Maro! Would love to see some more photos as those restorations progress, or close-up shots of any neat details.
My desk has a bunch of CDs, empty beer bottles, set of spanners, packet of ground coffee, loctite (blue), and dried apricots, among other stuff.
At home, my desk is the only thing big enough to hold my 40-long turtle tank.
In reply to Luke:
I'd love to share more but our shop is pretty private and we have to respect our customers privacy as well.
I'll post pictures of the finished work if it's possible.
I usually tell people that I'm retired because I don't think what I do actually counts as "work".

OH!, I thought we were talking about work desks...
Work desk is boring. Dual monitors, misc. computer hardware, name plaque, Dilbert calendar, 3.4 reams of paper with diagrams and drawings, desk phone, my lunch.
Home desk has some misc. small Triumph parts, course map of Road America, last night's empty pint glass. Honda CB175 engine partly disassembled underneath.
I have a tape dispenser and a stapler.

I don't have a desk at work. At home, there's a computer, extra monitor, a pen/pencil jar, a hard drive, a copy of "None Died in Vain" by Robert Leckie, and a receipt for gas. I'm exciting.
Dirty laundry, some books, a bunch of crap
Work is all work stuff, I dont have any fun stuff, no time for that nonsense. Do have a GRM calendar though.
Home is a few water bottles, a few beer bottles, 3 watches, a few pen holders (cast aluminum beer stein I made in college, burned up piston from my 6.5 diesel), a Jagermeister tin full of change, digital camera, pocketknife, USB hub, cell phone, wallet, TI-86, 0-50V DC power supply, soldering station, desk lamp.

I can give you the 3d model, the 2d plans, and the parts list if you want. It's more expensive than you might think, although there are some simple changes I will make to rev 2 to reduce the cost/add functionality.

I had a very senior engineer walk by my desk one day and he stopped and said "A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind, but a messy desk is a sign of a good engineer. I think you'll do OK here."
You'll need to log in to post.
