org'ing accessory parts

[spmitchell]

He there, First time posting.
I am not a professional - which is why I love Festool.  I have invested in all sorts of accessories to try to keep errors from happening, but keeping everything together has been a pain since I do not have a dedicated shop where I can get organized.  Does anyone have a good method for storing all the part for things like the parallel guide, the MFT Table accessories (when it is down) etc?  They don't fix in systainer.
Thanks!

[welcome] to the FOG!

I too struggle with keeping things organized, which is what attracted me to the whole Festool/Systainer product. I am putting nearly everything I can into systainers, simply because it is such a clean, organized look when everything is stored neatly away.

I don't mean to insult you by asking, but did you know that in addition to the Sys 1-5 Festool also has  a Midi and a Maxi Systainer? The Midi is maybe 1.5X longer than the standard Systainers, while the Maxi is as long as two systainers are deep.

I only ask because it took awhile before I became aware of them, and perhaps knowing this will help you?

Great Idea for all the tidbits.  It is the longer pieces of the parallel cut guide that just get banged up and spread all over the place.  Ah the fun of sharing the garage with kids!
Thanks for the quick reply!  I might try a project to make a small cabinet (Gun Safe) for these bits. 
Cheers!

Another welcome, SP.
