I like the layout for the planes in the systainer, are they all Stanley No.9½-60½-4-5?
But I don't like the use of the Festool logo for other tools.
You should use a Tanos systainer which has no coloured logo on the top.
And you miss a proper label. Here is an example how it should look like.

Thanks to all of you. The FOG is a great place.
Neeleman: The two block planes are Stanley. the #4 is an old Sargent that i restored and the #5 is an old Victor that i also restored. My better planes tend to stay in my shop.
As far as the Festool name on the top, my wife said the same thing... Strange thing, I just like the lighter color boxes.
It is nice to have my planes all in one box and not being banged around in my larger tool box. in fact i now have all my trim tools in 3 systainers with black handles and black locks.
I am slowly moving towards trying to use as many systainers as i can for all my tools. they just work better than having all different size boxes to move around and store.

Looks great- nice job
Welcome to the fog
Welcome to the fog
Really nice job on the systainer! But I wanted to congratulate you on your restorations. Even though you've only pictured the sides, the job you did on bringing these old tools back to life looks great! Judging by what I've seen so far I know they all must be capable of taking very fine shavings.
As far as using Festool Systainers for other tools - if you spent the money, you are welcome to use them however you like. I recently bought some used ones that housed non-Festool tools and I also plan to use them that way.

VW mick:
LoL should have seen it coming.
Wahoo609:
Thats a great link but i don't have a sand blaster and evaporust set up. i just use wire brush, sand paper and a buffer wheel. And a lot of muscle.
wow and Don T:
sorry i did not document the process (never thought about it,,,,maybe i should) but the process is different for different kinds of planes.
Planes i might use every day would get heavy sanding, more polishing and more finishing. but a plane like some bailey's i would go lighter on the process, just enough to clean it and still maintain some patina.
I just love looking at those old Bailey's (still need a #1)
jacko9:
i do take my #7 on job sites all the time and would love to put it in a systainer. I have a safe spot for it behind my seat. I just need some help on how to get it in there. maybe i could cut it and weld a hinge on it or something.
