Any chance of sharing a picture of your accessory shelf? I can see almost an under base tube tray, something I was considering, but haven't seen anyone else do this due to ttable interference. The strain relief is very nice, I've just had to do the same thing as this post and happy to have found it. Your flexible one on the side is a nice mod. Has it held up over the last 10 years? I'll need a pretty big hole, 18mm or so it seems!

I never took any pictures as it evolved over time, so here are some taken this morning. The top tray slides to the rear using some drawer glides mounted flat. The power cord strain relief has held up well.

This is by far my favourite accessory shelf I've been able to find! I had a similar concept in my mind, but now I can steal your work :)
