Hiding Pipe and Metal Pole

Problem: We had a pole and a pipe staggered going into one of our duct boxes.

Alternatives:

1. Box up the pole and pipe separately
2. Box both up into a large box
3. Relocate them (yeh right!)
4. Make them into a display shelf

Chosen Solution: Make them into a shelf. Drywall around the box and make supports for glass shelving.
