[Elecraft] Station setup

I too am beginning to build a new operating desk for use with a K line and several other radios. Woodworking is my other hobby so the desk will be a rather involved and lengthy project. Solid woods from one inch to three inch thickness will insure strength throughout. The main desktop will be

I want to see some pics of this when it's finished. Ever thought of going into the furniture manufacturing business? (Anyone else here remember the Design Industries "furniture-styled communications console" and "'wife-approved' communications desk" from back in the 1960s?) 73, Al On Wed

If you cannot leave room behind the desk and you are designing the desk, consider putting the desk pedestals on appliance rollers so you can pull the desk away from the wall to service the back of the equipment. That is how mine will be if I ever get it finished. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/16/2015

If you have the room, leave at least 2' behind the desk ... remember all the wires you'll have behind that equipment! See K9CT'S website for good reference. Have fun ... 73 Dwight NS9I This desk will go in a room corner tight against the walls with a window to the left of this location. A

Dennis, My desktop height is 27”, a couple of inches lower than standard. It is an L-shaped Ikea work table, 30" x 60” for the main top, with some height adjustability. Personally, I find that the lower table top height helps me when typing, particularly, which I do all the time with my

Re: [Elecraft] Station setup

I wish I had the woodworking skills that some of you have. Truth be known, I barely squeaked a "C" in woodshop class in 7th grade. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 9/16/2015 7:50 AM, Dennis wrote: I too am beginning to build a new operating desk for use with a K line and several other radios.
