[Elecraft] Ham Shack Arrangements - just a little OT

[Bob]

I've enjoyed it too.    My woodworking skills are at best poor and more likely 
nonexistent so cabinetry is out of the question.

What I did years ago and has worked out very well was some standard shelving 
from Lowe'a or HD.  Vertical risers screwed into the studding and 18 inch deep 
brackets mounted on them.   Finished the shelves to match the desk top and done.

I've been thru a couple of redo's over the years.  The last when the high SB220 
was replaced by the KPA 500 and KAT500.  Very flexible arrangements.  Desk can 
be pulled out from underneath if cables are an extra few feet long.  Besides we 
all have to plan for when the K4 comes out with the large built in display and  
is 2 inches higher.

No pictures online but if anyone has interest I'll send JPEG's on request.

73,
