and today's TANOS colour combination is....

[teocaf]

thanks for the great links Cheese.  I had seen a few tanos at woodcraft this past weekend but i did not realize they also ran mysystainer .com site with all those great inserts and options.  i guess i always glossed over the custom systainer  threads and maybe even posted a snarky remark or two, but this thread is giving me some ideas...  ain't that the way it always goes!

I really like the different colours, my favourite probably old Protool Anthracite/Orange combination, but lots of the others are cool too.

I have 2 of those... one with a multimaster insert and sort lid for blades the other holds all the profile acc etc that won't fit in the main systainer.

Bought from you!

Effective but not pretty.

Maybe the red Systainer with yellow T-Loc and blue handle was going to store Lego, then it would be cool. Remember we supply these Systainers to all kinds of organisations, from the NHS to auto refinishers, french polishers, electricians, first aiders etc, not just the esteemed members of the FOG.  ;D

I know!

I remember being aged 6? getting 8 different coloured shoe caddies and spending ALL xmas sorting my lego by size and colour into them then stacking them in my great big wooden toy chest ... prescient???

Maybe you need a bit of colour in your life [member=9122]CrazyLarry[/member] , or do they all have to look like this 

Mostly, but I like simple; only red catch is first aid, any blue catches are sparks kit, any green sawdust creation, orange jigs (blum, pocket hole templates etc), black anything else.

Lots of colour but no de Stijl or Freud please!!! I like Degas and Matisse, but would I want a systainer in 3 shades of peach or turqouise, lemon and indigo?????

This is my favorite color combo so far. Anthtracite with sky blue catch and handle. I put one of these together for my Dremel tool, only on mine I swapped an attic lid onto it.

It's sky yellow now, TdF and all that!

I think sky blue existed as a color before Sky, the network, made it theirs.  [tongue]

And Team Sky is folding after this year anyways, no?

Dead?

I'd say the opposite, they just swallowed up 1/2 the best of the old Euskatel squad...

By next year they could be collecting classics and more than one grand tour.

Unless Brailsford retired in the last 24hrs???

Yep, still listed on Woodcraft.com as Sky Blue.

Sky is pulling out as title sponsor from what I read.

edit: my bad, after 2016, which is nice of them to give them a heads up. Hopefully they'll find someone else to bankroll.

[CrazyLarry]

Well given they've just signed I think, 7 riders (prob more by 01/08) with some from €1 - 1.6m Brailsford *might* have a plan...

Who would have deep enough pockets... Team Google? Team Virgin? Team Jaguar?

Turns out it's simpler than that ... no change to Team Sky the Pro team at all. Sky are no longer sponsoring the broader British Cycling (which covers everything from Olympic athletes to family leasure rides for people who don't know a wheel from a saddle!)

That clears that up

Snarky remark...you...naw I can't believe it.

I do think the idea you came up with for the kids using Systainers is outstanding. Get em started early. I know several adults that would have benefited greatly from that exposure at an early age.

I have to admit that would have been my idea of the perfect present: colour coded lego storage that stacked!!!

Maybe that's the kickoff to a new sales/marketing program.

SYSTAINERS...just Legos for big kids. [big grin]

I'll show my age here by saying I never had Legos [sad] [sad] [sad] I had to settle for Lincoln Logs and Erector Sets.

i made that "get them started early" comment while chuckling to myself.  the unbelievable amount of cool stuff that my kids have access to these days:  i-gadgets of all kinds, supervised access to my fine tools, the list goes on and on.  at the same age i had not much more than a stick and some imagination.  they still roll their eyes when i tell them every christmas that a great gift for me back then was an orange, while they're sitting in a mountain of toys still looking dissatisfied.  but i will admit that i also had the basic legos.  this was behind the iron curtain in the early seventies and virtually no one else in the country had them.  my dad knew some people in western europe that sent them to us and somehow we received them.  an unbelievable long line of relatives came out of the woodwork to get a hold of these colorful "magical blocks" when we left and could not take them with us.

Interesting story...leaving the Legos behind must have been gut wrenching at the time...so then you and Vlad are on a first name basis? [poke]

Erector Sets, all those nasty little screws and nuts to get left in the carpet and stepped on in the dark  [thumbs up] I loved them but my mother... not so much.

One of the best Christmas gifts I ever got was a huge cardboard box full of wooden blocks my dad cut up from scrap, there were hundreds of them in every conceivable size and shape. Around that time I also had a bb gun and sometimes firecrackers, I would build enormous forts, man them with little green army men, blow them up and start over again. It was awesome.

Something a little more subtle today, Anthracite SYS V with a Light Grey catch...

 

[toolfest.co.uk]

I like this one going out today too, Anthracite with a Festool Green catch.

 

[toolfest.co.uk]

This one leaving us tonight should stand out.

 

[toolfest.co.uk]

Black with red catch, always a fetching colour combo - Hotrod colours.
