Yes, these sound almost exactly like what I'm thinking of except for my
sloped cabinet I'm thinking of two of your magic bus strips (one for each row
of MOTM). And I'm thinking of a second single row MOTM cabinet as well.

Interesting idea! Wedges might not be as sturdy as I'd like -- another idea
is to bend some small corner braces (the 3/4" to 1" ones) which seem to
retain their strength even after being bent. I liked Larry's routing option
too, though I think you'd notice the top edge being thinner than the sides of
the cabinet.

No thoughts on attaching rails to the sides of the cabinet I guess.
