I have a "nook" upstairs in my bonus room that is about 2 feet deep and
goes up about seven feet. One sid eis a slanted wall on the way up to
the ceiling.
I am wanting to make something to fit in there to store stuff and to
set my ham radio on.
Do any of you know where I could find pictures ot get an idea of what I
can make?

Maybe my experience is not typical, but I have seen it most often
applied to a room that looks an awful lot like a bedroom, but can't be
called a bedroom because it doesn't meet some particular code.
Makes me think of a contractor coming to the client and saying, "Well,
when we followed the architects plans, we found that we had this whole
big empty space right here, so we just threw together a bonus room for
you." I suppose it shouldn't surprise me in this age of marketing
where often products are sold so that it sounds like you are getting
some kind of extra for free.

Try googling for shelves.

What's a bonus room? Was it a surprise when you closed on the house? <G>
As for the station itself, perhaps you could get the actual ideas from
other hams, or the ham groups. The hams I know usually have very
specific ideas and opinions about their stations, which could help mold
yours.
Once you have some design ideas, we can help you with construction
questions.

Kinda like a 'Great Room'. Cracks me up. "Yeah, these other rooms in your
spiffy new house are pretty good, but this one here is GREAT!"

When I built my house, the garage (not workshop) was located on the lower
side of the lot. And so I had a choice; either a garage with 14' ceilings,
or add a rather large room above the garage. I opted for the "bonus" room.
