Cool video and example of how easy he 32mm system can be. Looks like there are four in the series and 1 and 2 are available

Video part 1

Video part 2

Do you know if somebody sells these shelf fixtures in the USA? Dominoes are good, but sometimes I need something adjustable. This door hinges jig is really cool!

Thank you,
VictorL

Or maybe just a voice over??

Victor:
Hafele, among others (Cabinet makers supply) sell this (shelf fixture) connector. You can find them on page 238 (Connectors and shelf supports) of the Hafele catalog. In addition to the zinc connectors used in the video the connectors also are made with colored plastic housing.

Very cool, and reminds me of a good, somewhat funny memory.  In high school (this is over 30 years ago), I studied German for four years.  My teacher, Mrs. Maria Schmid, was one of the best and most memorable teachers I've ever had (in 19 years of school, no less).  She had been born in Germany, and although her family had immigrated to America when she was only four, she seemed to embody what we Americans regard as the German character.  (Actually, my grandmother (RIP) was Pennsylvania Dutch, I've worked for a family-owned business run by a German family, lived next to a German family and dated a German girl, and I have to say, they all seemed to share a desire for orderliness.)

Anyway, Frau Schmid shared her classroom with another teacher who wasn't meticulous about making sure all the desks were lined up and the windows hades drawn to the same level.  Before class began, during the four minutes we were allowed for travel between classes, she'd walk to the bank of windows and calmly set each window shade even with the lowest segment of the windows.  When the bell rang for the start of class--and not a second sooner--she'd stand at the front-left corner of the left-most column of desks.  That was the cue:  she'd trained the first student in each column to align the front-left leg of his or her desk with a little "right angle" mark she had drawn on the floor in indelible ink.  As soon as the first person in the first column aligned his or her desk, people behind him or her line their desks up.  With a very slight smile of serenity on her face, Frau Schmid would then go to the next column of desks, and so on, until all of the desks were in neat rows.  With the world in perfect order, or at least as much of it as she controlled, she'd open her copy of the textbook and start the class, always the same way, every time, with a gentle voice:  "Also gut.  Heute fangen wir an auf seite....." ("That's fine.  Today we'll start on page...."--edited to correct my grammatical mistake in German)

When I saw the video on Festool's German web site, all I could think of was mankind's eternal struggle to turn chaos into order, and the peace of mind that Frau Schmid seemed to attain when she prevailed, however temporarily, in that struggle.

Ya, California Closets uses the same system.
It breaks down real quick for repainting etc.

Thanks to you too, Greg. Funny, when I googled "Guido Henn," which to me is a unique name, the majority of the hits came back for a German folk musician. It wasn't until I delved deeper into the search results that I found out that there was also a woodworker by the same name.

I am Guido Henn (the woodworker, not thy guy with the german folk music ) and I am really happy that some of you like the first two parts of the video.
I do agree that it would be nice to have the video with an english voice over and maybe if Festool-USA or Germany read this it could happen ... with "funny german accent" ...
If you want to hear this accent you can watch a video I have made for "Fine Woodworking" called: Router-Table Box-Joint Jig: Plan and Video by Guido Henn  
For more free videos (sorry most in german) you can also visit my website: http://www.hobbywood.de/videos.html there you can also download a plan for building a router table here is the link: http://www.hobbywood.de/Fraestisch.pdf

Hope you like it ...

Yes, What Tim said       Look forward to 3 & 4 

these videos are great.

i dont think we need new videos.

all we need is a voice over as gpowers suggested or subtitles.

it cant be that expensive to include english subtitles.

justin.

Festool, send me a RO90 and I'll do all the subtitles on these videos.  

Guido:

will there later be complete instructions and plan with dimensions for download on festool.de?

could you keep us up to date on that if you could. they are great videos (unfortunitly not in a language we understand) i would love that artical but in english.

Here's some thing funny. I was watching the videos using the GOOGLE Chrome browser which automagically translates it into English... well most of it. The funny part is that it never occurred to me what happened and I was wondering why I could read most of the text on the site though oddly worded...DUH.

Well I'm sure there is some engineer at GOOGLE working on the audio translation feature for Chrome so that whatever site you visit it will all sound like a bad Kung Fu movie or an Italian Western :-)

Excellent videos btw!

Guido,

 

I thought I recognized your work. For those that haven't seen it, here's a video with some of his clever kids' toys
