I should mention one particular departure in my design from what Sean seemed to have done: I made the bottom extend the full width of the cabinet, and set the sides into rabbets cut into the bottom. Somehow that seems more robust than using pocket-hole screws to fasten the bottom into the sides, given all the weight that the sides are bearing. (I too designed this for the Rockler cast-iron top, which is a beast.) But I'm a bit of a cabinet-making noob, so maybe there's some other down-side of doing it this way that I'm not aware of.
Also, one other caveat: I haven't started actually building this yet, so take it all with a grain of salt. :)

Since no plans seemed to be forthcoming, I made my own.
I had to guess at various dimensions, and didn't attempt to make it identical to what was shown in the video, but I think it's a decent approximation.
The Sketchup plans are available here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zfdrqipzzmjz5wr/AACRq4jWTOja505DbeL-0PhBa?dl=0 as a .dwg file.
Love to hear what you all think, but especially Sean, if you're listening!

Are the SketchUp plans going to be made available?
