# Adafruit Wearables Studio Tour ## Workspace for Wearables https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aASNAHYhnY4 Welcome to the wearables department at Adafruit! As the factory expands we move workspaces around. While everything's freshly organized, let's take this opportunity to show you around! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/218/medium800/wearables_becky's_desk-01.jpg?1430765710) Lots of different types of making goes on in this space: sewing/crafting, electronics/soldering, video and photo, writing/editing, and more. Prominent in the photo above is my dedicated shooting surface which gets great light from the large windows. The desk itself is by [Global Industrial](https://www.globalindustrial.com/c/work-benches/systems/euro-style). ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/221/medium800/wearables_becky's_desk-04.jpg?1430765786) My desk's louvered bin panel makes it easy to keep a multitude of supplies within reach. These particular bins and component drawers are from [Akro Mils](http://www.akro-mils.com/). A colleague put googley eyes on my [Hakko soldering iron](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1204). ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/222/medium800/wearables_becky's_desk-05.jpg?1430765847) To fill in light opposite the sun, we have a large daylight-balanced CFL softbox by [Westcott](http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/356245-REG/Westcott_4820_Spiderlite_TD5_Fixture.html), mounted on a rolling Avenger stand/boom. This provides easy all-purpose light to the shooting surface which is usually filmed using our Nikon D5100 on a Manfrotto Magic Arm that's attached to the table with a super clamp. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/219/medium800/wearables_becky's_desk-02.jpg?1430765735) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/223/medium800/wearables_becky's_desk-06.jpg?1430765906) These shelves host supplies, sewing machines, projects in-progress, and materials. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/025/220/medium800/wearables_becky's_desk-03.jpg?1430765756) These [heavy cardboard drawers](http://protektivepak.descoindustries.com/ProtektivePakCatalog/PPKimpregnated/TekCabinets/37770/#.VUoJomRVhBc) are antistatic just like our black Adafruit product boxes. ## Featured Products ### Genuine Hakko FX-888 (936 upgrade) [Genuine Hakko FX-888 (936 upgrade)](https://www.adafruit.com/product/303) Known by engineers for making excellent quality tools & soldering irons!
