For my Herd’s stacking cases I epoxied the steel down, but I really wanted to try a mechanical connection this time, to allow for the flex these plastic cases can have. One power drill montage later, job’s a good 'un! Now to magnetize my Trident and get them moved in :crab:

Looks awesome Boss! I’m looking at building one for myself this spring and this looks like a great option to me.
