  • Building my portable comm station

    Got started today. It's a bit bigger than I wanted, but has room for my future ham radio and an amp. 10.5" wide...13" deep...19" tall.
    14ga perforated stainless side panels for ventilation, 16ga stainless top/back/bottom with penetrations in the back for power/antenna cables.

    Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
    beat you to death with it because it is empty.

    The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

      Thanks ZA!
      I gotta do something to stiffen up the front. There are no welds up there to hold the front square, so it's easy to twist it out of square.
      The perforated side panels (.25 holes on .375 staggered centers) offer a lot of ventilation, as well as endless component/shelf attachment points.
      The bottom panel is a channel, open on the L/R sides, with 1" bends inward at the bottom front and back. I'll be fabricating 2 stabilizer tubes that can be attached within the channel in case the cabinet gets top heavy.
