Hi Dave,
I'm always impressed with all of the work you've done!!! :-)
I'd think that using large rubber feet would be best, maybe 6 or 8 per
cabinet. That way if you are moving things and have to set them on the
ground etc the finish will be protected. You may also want to drill out some
depressions in the tops of the cabinets (maybe an 1/8" to 1/4" or so . .
depends on the thickness of the wood) where the feet go so the cabinets
always line up perfectly (and stay that way if bumped or during mild earth
quakes ;-).
Maybe something like these would work well:
Hard rubber equipment foot. Countersunk, metal reinforced hole for #8 screw.
Black. 1.46" diameter x 0.41" high

I look forward to seeing what you do!

Well I finally gave up and decided to build another cabinet. I'm
full at 102U and I have several modules with no place to put them!
I decided to go to a 4th tier of 24U and eliminate my side posts.
I'll just stack the cabinets on top of each other. I built a
"garage" for the ground level to bring my first cabinet up over the
top of my keyboard.
What do people put between their cabinets for a bit of "stiction"
without harming the finish over time?
Do people fasten their cabinets together somehow? I can make side
rails that connect them together using the side pivot nuts.
I'll miss the rotation of the lower and upper cabinets but I don't
think I want so much mass up high!
Dave
