Wall unit using SYS-AZ

Looking good, thanks for the pics, I love this sh%t

Great looking units! You inspired me to set up a template in Polyboard to create some similar units. For anyone that uses Polyboard for cabinet design, I've setup a manufacturing method and sub-methods for 18mm birch ply, with 6x40 Domino fixings, 18mm MR MDF tops, with single panel pattern for MFT holes, and drilling pattern for SYS-AZ drawers. Using that manufacturing setup I created a single cabinet, double cabinet, Kapex unit, and XCarve 1000mm cabinet, all with 900mm worktop height and 100mm plinth height so you can use 100mm locking castors and make them into carts.

Once I've measured up my CMS unit I'll design a cart for that (to use with its legs folded away) and add SYS-AZ / CMS insert storage below it.

I really like your rail and material storage so I'll create some rear cabinets to mimic those too.

I'm happy to share the cabinet files if anyone's interested.

Neat.

For the double unit, I did double up on the middle partition so that the SYS-AZ’s euro screws do not clash and so that the overall width is double a single unit. Likewise my unit with the middle cupboard is exactly 2.5 x a standard unit with (18+427+18).

I have indeed acquired further systainers since the last photos (no idea how this happened  [blink]) so I am in the process of proceeding around to the adjacent wall with more units.

Thanks. I realised that the euro connector holes would end up being through holes of insufficent depth, so I was going to make it a 25mm panel to minimise the problem, but doubling up would be much better (and all cabinet widths would then be multiples of 463mm as you say). I made the large storage unit design to be SYS-AZ compatible as well ... just in case ;-)

Happy days expanding the collection!

I'll take some photos once I've made a few cabinets.

The blade drawer.......I'm gonna have to copy your idea.  Brilliant!    Thanks !

I doubled up the vertical division ... Thanks - good pointer.

Do you have a construction manual for the wall unit? Greetings from Black forrest

Honestly hon, I don't know where all these extra systainers come from!

I have had to extend around to the other wall. Unfortunately it is window so I am blocking some light. The base of the clamp rack has a cupboard at the front for boxes of grit. A 'standard' unit is in front. The latest addition is a 1-systainer-lower back-to-back unit which currently lives under the MFT. The top is a nice size and height for the Kapex. I now have room for about four or five more systainers...

The MFT moves out to the middle of the garage on weekends.

[member=52790]jjowen[/member] That's a nice bright space you have there to work in, I see you have the new Sys Vac, what are your thoughts on it ? Is it worth the dollar? Thanks.

I was struggling to study for a physics exam. I bought myself a new HP programmable calculator (big investment for way back then) and coded up every formula I was supposed to be studying. I blitzed the exam. (And no, I did not use the calculator in the exam.)

I have to repaint all of the exterior door and window frames of my two-story house. If the new LS 130 and CTL SYS help me blitz the painting job, then yeah, they will be worth it!

With the 1st story windows the alternative was just have the old paint dust going everywhere. I have done one door frame and the CTL SYS worked fine. The capacity is small. In the past I have put the CT26 in the back of the car for small 'on-site' jobs, this will be a little easier.  I'll post my thoughts after using it more.

Great shop organization - did the city or county miss those blue stone tiles when you brought them inside [wink]

Is this a "Where's Wally?" challenge .. are you in there some where? [eek]

Thankfully I also have that Bosch drill, otherwise you'd have made me, ehr, my woodshop feel ~really~ incomplete ...

Very nice and clean build. I envy the room you have there. I have a small shop that I have been building out. As I work in the space for a while I get a better feel for how the layout needs to be set up or changed. I'm no more than a few steps from any tool I need but still have a way to go. Here's a picture of the first couple of projects. New combination outfeed table/ assembly and second work bench coming next.

I just started to use Polyboard today to create a Kapex miter station and I'm interested in your files of Pollyboard if they can help me.

Thank you in Advance.

Made my last sys-az bench. That is it. I have no more room. Can't buy any more Festool.

Come on, can't you built a two story shop  [big grin]

Q: Are those cabinets on wheels?
