Subject: Re: [motm] Cabinet and power requirments

From: John Laudicina <gion2archery@...>

I am always shifting things around, everytime I get a
new module things get shifted I have yet to come up
with the perfect set up.
It seems I am always building another cabinet, last
weekend I built another side wing cabinet and I use
the stooges rails for all of the MOTM modules, for the
dot com modules I use no rails, just drill into the
wood, I wish the rails went both ways... having the
rails make moving things around allot easier for me.
When I built my first cabinet I made my own rails and
to be honest it was a pain in the ass, it took several
hours with the drill press and taps. I used aluminum
angle iron. On that cabintet I still have those rails
on it but all of my newer ones are stooge rails.
worth every penny.
If you have any wood working skills you should build
your own cabinets, the money you save you can buy more
MOTM modules.
