Building cool tool storage cabinets, which integrate in a Systainer tower?

How many go to the trouble of green drawer fronts, mixed in?

That looks like an amazing workspace. In the place that I live, real estate is at such a premium, virtually no one can afford shop space. We pretty much have to take our shop with us, and very few modern contractors are willing to hire us at the shop rate. We're doing solid design, and shop quality work, onsite. And believe me, that, and commandeering shop space on a job-site can cause a lot of resentment, even if it's just a for few days at a time.

I love seeing systainers being used in creative ways! I've been trying to move over to using systainers for all my tool storage. It's been a slow expensive road, but I'm getting there!

For us, it is basically the opposite. As much as possible is done in the shop, which is quite large, with only installation happening on-site. The installs are somewhat split between rough "job-sites", from new construction or additions to remodels of existing spaces. Those can be very restrictive, noise, dust, etc. often any cutting has to be done outside or in a dedicated space. (away from the actual room)

Thank you for the compliments, I have spent years refining it. We have moved a few times, and that is always a great opportunity to change things. It's hard to do major remodeling, when a simple add-on will work. This results in a patchwork looking mess. Most of this was built at once, with planning for future add-ons. I'm basically out of space, at this point, but I won't be here much longer.

I am building boxes to hold my sustainers and have bought a combination of the pull out drawers as well as the sliders from Festool. The idea is to have the drawers at the bottom to place heavier tools so I can reach in and grab them and the slides higher up in the stack. I noticed in the literature the drawers and pull out slides require different widths. Has anyone built this combination?

I have some drawers in one of my stacks, but they are not intended to hold Systainers, just smaller tools.
The difference of widths is not really a big deal though. Just build the main case to fit the wider of the two and put a properly sized spacer behind the runners of the narrow ones.
