[Elecraft] Ham Shack Arrangements - just a little OT

I have always had the problem of new or added gear fitting the "hutch" 
space,
it was either to wide etc
In my last desk top "hutch" I solved that problem,  I made the 
horizontal shelves
full width of the desk top,  but the vertical supports or dividers I 
made loose or
adjustable,  I can slide the vertical supports anyplace along the 
shelves,  that
way new or different size gear can be accommodated with no revision to 
the desk.
Get a new radio and need another inch space?  bump the vertical support 
over
an inch.   I used 3/4 inch shelf board for both the shelves and 
divider/supports,
the end supports of course are fixed and screwed and glued.
