A few years back I bought a portable Grundorf work station.
Saw it linked from member 11top in an old thread by me.
It is a very cool portable work station for sure, but using it on top of my guitar case cabinet it too high for me.
Either I need to grow another foot, or the cabinet needs to shrink a foot, and I do not see that happening.
Using the Grundorf on the floor is OK, but a little hard for me D:
So...after Googling and ogling over the type of tech stations big bands use, I dropped the coin on a Circle Three Designs one after conversing with owner Christopher Shalhoub.
He had one in stock that I liked, so I placed my order for it.
Christopher has supplied a lot of bands with his gear including Joe Bonamassa.
Here are the specs on it:
One can never have enough extra space for "stuff"
I also like how it has an LED light to help me see what I am doing.
The LED light strip has multiple colored light in it which you can display one color at a time, or all combined.
Also you can put it in a mode where the lights dance back and forth while changing colored.
There is also a sound activation mic that can time the lights to music.
I am very pleased with this tech station, plenty of room, and a nice work area for my guitars.
Now if PRS would send Skitchy over to my place for a day of guitar tech class, that would really make my day.

Onto some pictures:
Front view with the front/table on covering the drawers
Front turned around showing the legs inside that convert it into a table
Front view with many stickers I have been saving
LED lights and magnetic tool holder
Six outlet power strip
That little plastic box to the right I thought was a fuse holder, as I had no power to the strip.
Opened it up later and it is a switch for the outlets, very nice, and I had power galore!
Where do all the pedals go when you swap them out, they go to the bottom drawer of the guitar tech station
Sung to Nirvana's Lake Of Fire song.
Middle drawer for cables
The drawers are deep at 7.5".
Top drawer for tools, strings, and miscellaneous items
FedEx dropped off today some new tools from Stew-Mac including that guitar shaped parts holder, three nut drivers, and pliers and cutters.
Green LED lights on
Red LED lights on
Multi colored LED lights on
No need for a neck rest
I found out I really do not have to use the Stew-Mac guitar neck rest as when the guitar is laying flat, the foam is high enough to let the entire ride above it.

I will be able to stand at a comfortable height when working on my guitars, and have the extra storage in the drawers for stuff.
