Hi everyone.
As you can tell from the photos my garage workshop looks like a missile testing site with all of my recent tool and timber acquisitions. I decided it was time to get organised and learn some new skills with new tools being a domino and router virgin.
Just completed (well about 95%) my first festool project. It is a tool storage cart built from a mixture of merbau and tasmanian oak, with aluminium channels to accomodate CMS modules and aluminium angle to support systainers. The whole thing sits on 5 casters. 2 of them braked.
The whole thing is domino'd together using 10x50 and 10x80 dominos. BTW love the domino and the possibilities it opens up. The cart is finished in tung oil.
I built this cart measuring and changing from a design in my head. Never been really good at drawing a plan and following it. For the whole I am pretty happy the way it has worked out.
For the vacant top slots on the CMS side I am going to machine a 6mm aluminium plate shelf to hold associated CMS bits and pieces.
One thing that became apparant during the build is how innacurate my Makita SCMS is. Fine for framing but no amount of adjustment got it accurate enough for furniture construction. It looks like a Kapex is on the cards. ;D
