If money's no object - a tour of Dan Gelbart's workshop

[Seadog]

If you're not aware of Dan, he did a whole series of videos, detailing the different areas of his workshop, that are very informative. He was was part of the team that developed the Sony Laser Disc and also CD technology, so was working at very high levels of accuracy.

He started with next to nothing, except a brain the size of the a planet

Now a multi-billionaire, but still very much an engineer.

I have posted about him in the past, but I don't recall having watched this recent video.

The "Fluid Bed Tank" that he describes, for metal coating, takes me back to about 1966, when my metalwork teacher showed the class one that he built. We used it with a softish plastic powder to finish the handles on screwdrivers that we made.

That fluidised bed powder coater I used to use one of those back in 1987 for coating lamination stacks for prototype brushless DC motors.

I think it twas me in the youtube thread

He has very nice setup.
I know its a minor thing, but I quite like the idea of the bins in the floor, thought that was a nice touch too.
