Workshop Drill and Charging Station

[Gary in Texas]

Here is an ongoing work in progress.  I needed a place to store my various drill / drivers / impacts, and thought it would be a good first project using only my Festool equipment, and convince myself I was of right mind to buy the Domino 500.  I guess I convinced myself, I went and bought the Domino XL afterwards.  [eek]

Anyway, as mentioned, work in progress.  I still need to add a sloped shelf at the top to rest the chargers on, and hide the cords underneath.  Wasn't sure I liked the design, thought I would hang it up for a week, decide if I wanted to keep it or do a redesign.  So, still needs the shelf (with hinges), and obviously needs a finish applied.  Probably Watco natural.  Once oiled and waxed, walnut usually pops quite nicely.  Middle shelf for drill bits, Forstner bit sets, spare batteries, etc...

I used the MFT, TS 55 REQ, Domino 500, Rotex 90 and ETS125.  Oh, and the CT-26.  Enjoyed using each tool.  Big change from using a cabinet saw, etc...

Yeah, those are a bunch of DeWalts hanging there.  Haven't been able to make that quantum leap to the Festool drills yet.  ;D

Nice, attaches right to your wall cleat system. Do you have other storage racks on that?

Be sure to update when you add the charger shelf.

Seth, thanks!

LOL, as luck would have it yes I'm in the process of making two additional wall shelves for the cleats.  Was only making one new shelf unit when late yesterday discovered that I didn't figure in the depth of the dados for the new shelf, and as a result of said discrepancy, the shelf is not wide enough by 1/16".  I'm pretty certain that if I cut those cross members of the shelf again, they will still be too short!!!  Oh well.  Just means I will make another shelf later this week.
