Ham Shack Upgrade - Fitting MORE Shelves and Dispatching DX Engineering Order

[@MacKayz117]

I was waiting for the Dad joke with the Stud finder. Missed opportunity. 😂

[@daveykeogh]

lol! That explains why it was going off the entire time!!

[@tomKZ8TOM]

14:30 I am thinking we all have had projects like this! 😂 The banging of the shelf and you off camera had me laughing and thinking I would have done the same! You made my day Callum!

[@DXCommanderHQ]

HAHA

[@FromthehamshackwithNJ4Z]

Can wait for the book! We have missed the videos!

[@centralfinancialservices7465]

What a great British export. Well done DX Commander and the crew!

[@youtubeaccount931]

I think shelves and organizing the shack is the theme this winter

[@Tokyo1991.JL1AJE]

Everyone in the household requested I rewind and play 5:11 a few times. Very cathartic Callum 😂 Is it me or can I see the vertical studs where the red paint is thicker?

[@LeGrandFromage58]

thank you for not using the footage of me falling over 🤣

[@jonathanhall6815]

Have I really just watched a man putting shelves up. It’s nice watching someone else working 😁

[@DXCommanderHQ]

The best!

[@AlarmProGuy]

Good to see you in the new year, just picked up a signature 9 from dx engineering, have all the wires cut and terminated, all I need is for a few warm days to get it going and looking forward to getting it on the air. Cheers and 73

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Very nice!

[@johnnybigpotato2404]

I'm into it already bro. Would be cool as hell to hear it in audio book in your voice... become accustomed to it over the years LOL

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Yes, Mike M0MSN suggested the same...

[@tommiehinman1349]

I am interested in your book. I look forward to it being available

[@mcnelstv1880]

Is that definitely a stud finder? I have one exactly the same but it looks for metal (pipes) and electrical cables only. Yours is probably picking up foil backed drywall?

[@donnieking2610]

Good to see you back on kk4ekk

[@ka0clg431]

Book? Tell us more Cal! I'll buy a copy 🙂

[@robertmeyer4744]

Great fun ! DX Engineering will have DX commander stuff back in stock soon ! Many work hard getting orders filled . Glad to see that in video ! Now you have some room for a while. With that drum set you can record some more drum solo intro for videos ! That is great !! We got snow in all 50 states in the USA ! First time that ever happened . Cheers from NY !

[@DXCommanderHQ]

SNow in all 50? Wow

[@robertmeyer4744]

@@DXCommanderHQ Florida got record snow, Even the BBC reporting that ! CHEERS !!

[@darz3]

Audible for the book😉

[@mikesifford1744]

I know this sounds silly, but, tap the wall with the tip of your finger and listen to the difference in sound. That's how you find studs.

[@dougrea8260]

We need to figure out how to attenuate those stud finders. Like you, every time I get near one it goes off like crazy. Hi Hi.

[@gtretroworld]

That’s weird, over the last few weeks i have done similar in my pit as it was also full of HT junk too, although no posh wood in here just good old floating MDF haha. The book sounds whacky so will probably suit my reading tastes, will we see a future movie out of it? 😁

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Movie.. Well, originally that is how imagined it.. But we need a book to inspire the movie moguls!

[@fatboymotorsport]

Hi Cal, how long will DX Engineering get with all that stock, how are they finding demand,

[@daveykeogh]

If you want to find studs, get yourself a strong rare earth magnet. They'll stick to the drywall screws. Easiest method I've ever used.

[@youtubeaccount931]

Yep, someone showed me this and ive never used a studfinder since.

[@daveykeogh]

@@youtubeaccount931 Completely true. Cheapest and most accurate stud fiinder I've ever had. I got two giant ones from Amazon and they live now attached to a stud on the wall. So not only do they work great, they self store on the wall lol

[@James_Bowie]

Would suggest Print on demand: Lulu, etc.

[@davidjohnson7613]

In the man cave / shack I used fire doors as shelving. Very strong.

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Oh yes!

[@sveinfarstad3897]

Drums is for me to use!

[@johneast7987]

A friend of mine was G8WPD and he passed that onto his Wife when he got his "A" Class.

[@B_MAD_24]

Careful you'll get that itch that asks you for more shelves.

[@johnn0hj]

Quick question. How much does it cost for you to ship each pallet of antenna stuff to the US? The reason I ask is my daughter and son-in-law are moving to the US from the UK once he gets his green card and they don't want to give up all their books. I'm not sure on weight but I estimate it would take a pallet. Thanks for all you do ! John - n0hj PS - we are actually visiting them near Nuneaton right now.

[@martinryan5069]

Your a good owl goer 👍📻

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

metal standing shelves best policy makes it more modern and sylish .

[@DXCommanderHQ]

The no floor room!

[@newsles2]

Ha, I feel the pain over stud finders that are too sensitive. It's a nightmare in my studio room/shack also, not helped by the wonky wiring by the previous owners that I still haven't completely fathomed after six years. Oh and yeah, I noticed the hiatus and just assumed you were busy with business - when in fact you were shaping up to be the new Jane Austen/Dan Brown hybrid. Break a leg!

[@DXCommanderHQ]

.. and Phil Pullman!

[@newsles2]

But of course! A real writer, so let's replace Brown with him. Less insulting for you now I think about it lol.

[@corsavic1]

Cal if ya wanna get rid of any of ya rigs I wouldn't refuse lol

[@leestanphill1]

Do you hold the stud finder to your chest and make it beep and then tell your wife you are celebrating it?

[@DXCommanderHQ]

HAHA

[@DawsonMackenzie-v9o]

My grandson has ADHD TOO

[@hoog111]

Are you really writing a book of fiction or are you making it all up

[@M0OPI]

See what you did there

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Haha! I'm making it all up.. That's so funny!

[@jamescstanley5018]

Hi Lord Callum. The way things are going your Knighthood (to go with your Lordship) will soon be in the post, a lot safer than the sword where your ears are at risk! Seriously, it seems like only yesterday that we were told of your tie up the States, and we see another huge order is leaving the factory. It is not so long ago that you were a one man band, seemingly doing everything yourself, but with Wendy "doing the books", and while you have brought your son in, your output has exploded beyond anyone's expectation. For your next book I suggest you write detailing the organic growth of your company, it is a case study in how to grow a business from what was, let's face it, more or less an extension to your hobby, to a thriving successful business. I certainly would have used it when I started out in 82, and unfortunately outgrew my financing, forcing me to close up and putting 30 staff out of a job some 7 years later. Keep up the great work, but leave a little time for yourself and Wendy every week. 73 Jim M7BXT PS will try to make the next open day, Chippy is not to far away!

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Jim.. Interersting idea!

[@danamarcy5414]

Just put one word after another. Best wishes. Dana VE6KBI

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Apparently!
