Thanks. These are all good ideas. I'm convinced that I should get an LCD screen, especially since they have come down quite a bit since I first started planning this. Also, I should raise the 48" to above 50" (maybe to 52") to avoid any conflicts and to allow for any lighting I need to install under the shelf layout. I hope this wouldn't be necessary, as I have about 20 can lights in the ceiling in my 20' x 20' area (well lit in anticipation of the train). I have drywall-over-2x4 studs in this room. <br /> <br />I was going to go into the unfinished furnace room and back out to give myself about 4-5 feet of space with no headroom issues, but one of you sparked an idea for me of going into the finished laundry room and using the probably 6 x 10-foot free area in there as a turn-around so I don't need to cross in front of the laundry room door (which my wife was against) and head into the office part of my basement. Also, if I still want to bridge the desk, I guess I can have traditional benchwork supported by the floor rather than the wall and use 1x4's instead of 1x3's, for more stability. Thanks for your replies.
