Wall unit using SYS-AZ

[jjowen]

The demonstration videos with towers of Festool systainers in the background both amused and worried me. Then the SYS-AZ hit the streets. Am I on the slippery slope to becoming equally consumed?  You be the judge (photos below).

The unit is made up of seven separate components which can be bolted together. Each components is on locking castor wheels. Long pieces of wood can be stored through the bottom half of the rear units, ‘cept for the rail cupboard in the far corner. I may go up at a later stage with more storage. It is mostly made out of 18mm Russian Birch plywood, with MDF bench tops. Bench height is 900mm, with 55mm clear under the top for dogs and clamps. The Kapex is a bit too high where it is.  I typically pull the single-width unit at the front left out as a satellite bench to the MFT 3.

Very nice ,look like you put a lot of thought into this .Are those MFT profile you've in the front ?

First....  [welcome] to the FOG!

Very nice design and work! [big grin]

Question.... I'm interested in your floor. Can't figure out what you've done there. Tile? Concrete?  Nice looking and I'd really like to know what that is.  Looks easy to sweep/clean as well.

Cheers,
Frank

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

Very nice. Interesting offset arrangement on the center section cabinets. Is that for something particular?

Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the questions.

The cabinets were sized to fit a) two packs of extractor bags b) three boxes of 100x150 abrasives and c) user manuals - both A4 and is it A5? Odd arrangement is just to add a bit of fun.

Yes, that is MFT profile. I certainly did not pay full price though!

The floor is natural bluestone titles. The street outside still has bluestone kerb and guttering. I thought it would be fun to take this into the garage. I won't use this again as any spills stain.

Where did you get the 18mm Russian Birch ply from, i have not found a good source for it here in Melbourne yet?

Nice job on the cabinets [thumbs up] [thumbs up]

Hi Mr Mod,

Plyco have a couple of sites around Melbourne (www.plyco.com.au).

What are their prices like? I find it so annoying that most companies don't have them on their website!

Great-looking cabinets, too.

Welcome to the FOG.  That is a very nice project. I hope my stacks of sustainers look that organized some day.

I'm in two minds with those drawers ... Wish they'd introduced them for midi and maxi sizes too!

Nice unit - bet you need another soon! [wink] [big grin]

What a clean setup.  Great work.

It was a conscious decision to only just accommodate the systainers that I already had. This will stop me buying any more. Right?

Right?

Wow, that is a very nice build there! I like the idea. I also like using the VS600 when I can. I need to build something like that in my shop. Thanks for sharing.  Do you have anything for your Ct vac or other cool pics to share.
Thanks, Marc

I originally planned to get the CT into the unit, but it would have cut into the long wood storage going through the back. If I extend along another wall…

I have included a couple of additional photos. One shows inside the rail and MFS cupboard. You can see two of the bolts near the top holding the system together. A couple of the front units have been rolled away. You can also just see my Fest-a-rest* tool rest sitting on a Systainer on the extractor.

The second photo shows my new Kapex blade storage. No matter how long you spend re-arranging your systainers, you always end up with a couple of vacant holes at the top.  A set of 18mm high drawer runners hold a piece of 18mm ply. The runners have perfectly spaced holes so I can use Euro screws into the SYS-AZ’s holes. Anybody thinks there is a problem storing blades like this?

*Paint pending.

You think you might have the bug??

You probably drank a whole jug of the green stuff.

Welcome .

Great set up but I REALLY like your blade storage , awesome idea

Looks cool too!
