My version of the MFT on new Systainer

[Asterix]

To help others in building there own Systainer MFT / mini workbench I shared my photos.
Just got informed that it's a close copy of an existing patented product. so please be so fair not to copy it.

For a nicer and easier lock mechanism I would advice others to look at solution from FestoolViking .

Please visit T-Systand by Diafer in case you want to order one (or more).

I'm afraid that you have copied the Diafer T-Systand and his design is patended.
He's also a Dutch guy from Bergen NH. And he has also published his design on the FOG.
Please look at the following thread: T-Systand.

Uhm.... Looks dammed close. Even the corners are made the same way, which is funny as my first sketch was with a thinner material which I adjusted (offset) by 5mm. By coincidence Sketch-up created the connections in the corners.

Just had a look on his website, probably it was even easier to buy one from him as he even lives very close. And he does use better material. [wink] But it was fun building one for my own use, which is allowed by the dutch law. ;D Using a patented (octrooi) design, even for private use, is not allowed by the law in the US. Just checked, as I wasn't aware I made a close copy of an existing product. Pfff.

So before anyone will ask me for any drawing the answer will be "Sorry, cannot and will not share my drawing". And the drawing isn't an exact copy of the final product as I modified some parts on the fly.
