I know what you mean! I have no room for my most recent MOTM modules, they 
lay around much like Ken Tcaks' modules do awaiting some sort of cabinet. 
Again like Ken, I have an almost unused table saw which I bought to help 
construct such a cabinet. 

Of all the designs I've seen or heard about, I have to admit (as humiliating 
as it is to do) I like Bradley's the best. I've always preferred that "C" 
shape to a standard straight or sloped cabinet. Maybe he'd be so kind as to 
put up some plans on his hot rod site. I'm also very interested in finding 
out how he was able to get an accurate drilling guide for his wood rails 
which will have inserts. I'd thought about using a standard rack rail as a 
guide, though you'd need to put some spacer in the hole to make up the size 
difference between the larger standard rack screw and the smaller MOTM rack 
screw size.
