Mark V tool cabinet

I recently purchased a used Mark V. Along with it came several parrts accessories and tools. While looking through all of the literature and going on line, somewhere I ran across a design for a tool chest that attached to the two bottom rails of the Mark V. It consisted of 3 or 4 drawers aranged horizontally. Now, I can't find those plans again. This is not a difficult thing to make. Here is my problem, I haven't yet figured the best way to attach it to the bottom rails so that the attachments are secure but do not interfere with the powerhead when I move it from side to side on its rails. Does anyone out there have a copy of those plans or can anyone tell me a good way to attach the set of drawers to my Mark V?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks you, gentlemen, you have been most helpful. These designs are not what I had seen but they are much better. I am going to modify both of the designs and come up with something that fits me best. I especially benefitted from seeing how the cabinet was attached to the bottom rails of the Shopsmith. Now, I must get to sawing some wood.

Best wishes,
