"Portable Carpentry Workshop" video

[rmwarren]

Just stumbled onto this on YouTube, there are a few ideas that could be adapted the mobile MFT/Sysport builds on the FOG.

In another of his videos they hook a dust extractor to the cabinet itself  providing centralized extraction for all the tools. Interesting idea, not sure how well it would work.

i saw that last year but lost it again and  couldnt post it . there is some good potential in there. i bet there would  be a bit of weight to it all loaded up.
i think it would work great in aofice bloacks or schools or open plan homes etc. it would be a pain to use in homes here as most doors in our houses are 2'6" doors . i wish i could use it in the shop but my shop is too small

No place to store a  push stick then? [unsure]

...maybe there's a first aid kit in one of the drawers [wink]

on the PCW web site the price for this workstation is in Festool country.

The Price of the All-In-One PCW is $4,850.00 plus tax and shipping. [scared]

I reminds me of the old Bob and Ray routine about their new copy machines. The price was $500,000, to which the foil remarked, "Gee, that's quite a bit of money. I don't think you'll sell too many." The reply? Yea, you're probably right. But, then again, we won't need to sell too many."

That is pretty cool.  I could definetly see a Festool set up like that.  I think the super fast set up would be very good for those with non-dedicated shop space (pull the car out roll out the shop)  or those who work on the patio or in front of the garage.

Not a bad idea,but not really single men friendly if you have to pick it up.This could be good for commercial job site.
Also i don't know about the miter saw platform,seems a little high to me. ???

Where is the power winch to pull it up the ramp into the 1 ton truck? Or does it just come with a included hernia operation at a hospital of your choice?

Wow... one whole dust collection drawer...

Gee....makes me want to buy a Shopsmith Mark V.....OH wait they now have the Mark 7 now...WOOOOHOOOOO look out Festool... well maybe not.

Cheers,

what strikes me is that if you buy an MFT plus all the CMS units needed, and a kapex, ts 55 , ct26 and of1400 you will not be spending allot more and you will actually have the tools, be truly mobile and have DC...  [eek]

And whats with the "portable carpentry workshop" designation? I expected something portable for job sites, theres nothing portable about it. But i guess it makes sense to have all your tools on a rolling cabinet, so that you have place in your workshop to store the forklift required to "portable" it on your truck bed  [big grin]

What, you don't have freight elevators on all your jobsites...? [poke]

I can see the value of this. When I was living in my condo with a sigle car garage, all I really had room for was a contractors table saw with a router mounted in the extended table (40"beismeyer fence on it) I didnt know about festoons at the time (12 years ago).
So this would of been perfect for that situation

I think it needs a canopy, a fridge and a couple of bar stools.

There's nothing smart about creating a monster trolley to "solve" a space problem.

A few years ago a friend and I were at my local Lowe's waiting in line at the cash register. There was a huge toolbox system on display next to where we were waiting. It had built in power, lights and a radio. I jokingly commented that all it needed was a fridge. Then we took a closer look and realized that it did have a fridge!  [blink]

Sometimes too much is way too much.
