Since I now have all this room for equipment, I needed to put together desk space..I now have 11 ft of desk space.
I was however unable to find the type of desk arrangement I wanted, so I bought some computer desks and built desk and
drawers in between what I had gotten....
Here is a description of what I did in putting all this together.....I already had a computer desk (light coloured desk in
middle) and wanted to expand on that, but I noticed most Hams I know all had the same light colour desk..I needed to be different..I
found some really classy mahogany finish desk at the local furniture store which was also cheap in price ( I bought 3 of them
).As you can see the mahogany desk on the left and right.
I now needed to mesh all three desk together...so now the brain racking and the elbow grease starts....Because of the curve
in mahogany desks , I needed to cut out curves in 1/2 plywood...By the way ,belive it or not this is my very first attempt
at woodworking.
I also needed drawer space...I actually went to different furniture stores with a measurement in my head...The set of drawers
had to be a certain height most important , so as to fit in between the two different desk....The curved plywood sits on top
of the chest of drawers so as to mesh the two and additional desk space...
The computer monitor is just providing some weight as the glue drys as I check to see if everyone is lining up before a permanent
fit..
Yep...coming along nicely...The drawers are in place on both sides of the main operating desk (in matching colours) and the
mahogany desks on the far sides....All joined up and radios in place to measure for holes for coax cables and power lines....
For the coaxial cables and power cables , I put in two 4x4 pvc conduit used for electrical wiring...Very nice and enough space
for everyone to keep out of sight...
