Using dimension lumber meaning 1 x 12 and 2 x 2 as such, for the shelves
use 1 x 12. Then using a length of 2 x 2, rabbit a 3/4" x 3/4" edge.
This edge or notch will fit nicely under the front and back edge of the
shelf material. I gives a finished look and added structural support
and is easy to attach. I do suggest using Titebond II as a glue
between all joints. Then face frame with 3/4 x 1 1/2 finished
material. I made mine from solid cherry I had available in the shop.
Then stained with a natural stain and finished with two coats of a
semigloss urethane finish.
I always allow 1" between pieces of equipment unless there is provision
on the equipment for side ventilation. If so, a minimum of 2" is a good
choice. Same for the back, allow 2" minimum for ventilation and cables
and connectors. Vertically again 1" from the equipment to the underside
of the upper shelf.

about to get into the garage, get behind the saw, and build a desktop

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?
