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. - 73 and good DX de Mike, K6MKF, President - NCDXC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of bill NY9H Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2015 9:05 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Ham Shack Arrangements - just a little OT 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 .,.. why balticbirch : http://www.woodworkerssource.com/6_plywood.html My elecraft / ICOM ACOM shack in a cabinet NY9H at QRZ.com bill ny9h ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to mike.flow...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
