*blush* thanks :)

I'd be happy to make the drawings available. The steel base is about 450$ 
in parts and labor (half that is the wrinkle finish). The aluminum 
subframe and wood exterior bring the total to around 1500, which is ouchy.

I could make one with a steel box frame and rails (that would leave all 
the backs of the modules visible) for a lot less. Anyway, there's a good 
reason most modular cabinets are wood ;)

> Chub - looking at mild steel tubing at the moment

I built the original out of a 16 gauge .75x1.5" thin walled tubing, and it 
flexed too much when plugging in cables. The final one used 1/8" 1x2" mild 
steel, and it doesn't budge for anything.

is anyone interested in building there own or having one built?
