MOTM

Hi Ken,

Yes, the MOTM rails are great -- very sturdy. The only problem I see would be 
getting the "ears" in the vice at the exact distance to bend for a perfect 
width rail (especially if one were to do this repeatedly for building several 
cabinets at once, but you could set up a jig -- a stop on your vice -- to 
facilitate this). A similar idea would be to just cut the ears off, but they 
seem perfect for mounting to the sides considering they are bent in the wrong 
direction.
