Time to finish the other half of the shack!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The operating positions in the shack are complete. Now it’s time to address the other half of the room which has remained empty up until this point. I need additional countertop space to do repair work etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Countertop Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new countertop will provide some much needed work space in the shack. I plan to use it mainly as a workbench. The layout will be a ‘mirror image’ of the original existing countertop. (shown below) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I purchased two 6 foot (L&R miter) laminate countertops<\/a> and two additional 26″ high file cabinets<\/a> to use as supports for the desktop. I will have to trim both pieces to fit. This time, instead of using the armstrong method<\/em>, I splurged, and purchased an electric jigsaw<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another countertop in the opposite corner just like this one<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The proposed ‘wrap around’ desktop will have openings at the closet door and at the entrance doors. I’ll be replacing the recliner with an executive<\/em> chair. The new high back chair will be rolling on a glass<\/em> mat, so it will be smooth and reduce dust from the carpet. By my measurements, there will be plenty of room to move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll finally be able to set up my soldering station, PanaVise, magnifier, and other tools in an organized fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the parts have been ordered and this project should be complete by next weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: One must have a proper chair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chair has been delivered and assembled. One of the arms is a little wobbly and the bolt cannot be tightened any further, but I can live with it. The chair is pretty darn comfortable! Can you guess my favorite color?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, Friday 6\/7 the remaining items will be delivered and I expect to have it all installed before dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: Countertop Install Complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
