Hi,
When I started putting my K-Line together, and only owned the K3, I made
cardboard boxes up in the dimensions of
the future equipment I planned on. I copied the front/back panel pics
from the elecraft site and scaled to the actual
dimensions & printed. I then pasted these on the front/back of the
cardboard mockups. I then moved them around,
picturing how everything would go together. Helped a lot on cable flow,
especially for the coax. The final setup
was totally different than I first pictured! Its a bit of work, but it
saved a LOT of rework in the end. Be sure to consider
where exhaust fans need clearance, etc. Sit in front of the "rig",
reach for "knobs", etc. See how the total setup
feels before you start cutting wood

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Ham Shack Arrangements - just a little OT
I've really enjoyed the conversation about shack and desktop setups, as I'm
about to get into the garage, get behind the saw, and build a desktop
equipment shelf.
I've been talked out of building vertical supports, thanks to this
list.? So now I'm trying to future-proof my design. Eventually, I'd hope to
have a complete K-Line. So, I'm thinking I'd just add up the front panel
widths of all the K-Line components and perhaps add an inch or two. Does
this sound reasonable or am I missing something obvious?
