I’ve been operating in a section of our shop since getting started back in 2020. It’s been ok – but I have grander ideas (of course) and wanted to make it more comfortable to work and experiment in. However, I still need to maintain the shop as a workspace for other non-radio-related projects.

The first part was to remove the old wooden bench, patch/paint the wall, and put in a new bench. I made sure the new bench can hold both my and my son’s radio rigs and have room for expansion. One great benefit – is a 240v plug that I can use for an amp in the future.

Eventually, I’d like to wall off this corner of the shop to help heat in the winter – the current heat setup is wasteful in the entire shop and some additional wall space for better shelving would be ideal – but that probably won’t happen for a while.
