[Elecraft] Ham Shack Arrangements - just a little OT

[Mike Flowers]

I started with an old smaller pine kitchen table about 2 feet from the back
wall of the shack.  I walk behind it to do cabling, etc.

On this I built a 3-level riser out of unpainted 5/8" exterior grade plywood
- maybe $40 into the whole thing including cuts at the lumber yard.
Elmer's carpenter's glue and deck screws hold it together.

A 1-1/4" spade bit or a 4" hole saw make routing lines easy.

Not even in the same league with some of the cabinetmaker's masterpieces
I've seen in some shacks, but it's functional.

for shelving , spend a bit more for this one time event...
use multi-ply  'baltic birch" plywood,,,7 or 9 ply...

they have it at  home depot /lowes type stores, but a visit to the rockler
woodworking store was great, as they had some 9 ply on sale .,..
