Yet another Sysport build

[six-point socket]

Didn't know you wanted to use the SYS-AZ "shelves" - to find a matching cabinet is going to be a bit tricky I guess.

And even when you build them yourself, 400 is going to be a bit small anyway when I look at the Systainer. Sorry, I didn't pay enough attention to the dimensions.

So, what about getting this: http://www.ikea.com/de/de/catalog/products/60212565/#/60212565 and cutting it to have inside dimensions of 425 x 380 x 1000 before assembly? You could make 2 out of it.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi!

Maybe take a look at the "METOD" series for Germany/Europe. Can't guarantee it though, but it seems to be the closest match.

Oliver,
I think you are right about METOD!  At the beginning of 2015, in the US, IKEA transitioned over to a new style of kitchen cabinets called SEKTION.  I haven't made any comparisons, but I was told that the new style is patterned after METOD in Europe.  The old style called AKURUM was in place here for over 20 years and is no longer available.

i had http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60260429/ laying around so i modified it. iirc the bottom panel was a bit short but i didnt have it around to verify. however the side panel holes lines up perfectly and the sysaz sticks out about 4mm. the predrilled holes works with the locking latch as well. the back sits flush with the sysaz rails but the back cover will no longer work.

Before undertaking a Sysport build using good plywood (need to build 6), I decided to make a practice run out of MDF. Huge shout out to MrBigerock and his great youtube videos. Got the cabinet put together tonight and will start on the drawers tomorrow. I plan on making this one mobile and adding some tool hooks, paper towel holder, and maybe a power strip to it so I can roll it up next to the workbench while working on a project.

Learned a lot while working this, mostly how to use the LR 32 and begin my conversion to measuring everything in metric. I do need to learn how to prevent my joints from drifting apart while using pocket screws. I used dominos in each panel hoping that would prevent the drift but it didn't. Anyone have any tips on keeping the joints flush when driving the pocket screws?

These look great!  I am planning to build a couple of these that are the same height as my MFT3 so I can use them on either side for cutting support.  One concern I had is once I put casters on them it seems they may be a little top heavy since they are a bit narrow.  Should I be concerned at all or not?  Thanks.

Very neat solutions.  However I am still debating with myself, if I should get rid of my systainers,  [scared] and build a hutch style cabinet with doors, on one wall. I would store the various tools in them, with drawers below for clamps and other accessories that come with the various tools. Just seems a shame to throw out the boxes.  [unsure]

I'm sure they'd sell quick enough

Had to take some time away from the shop but was finally able to get the cabinet boxes built and mounted. Used maple plywood and edge banded it in walnut. Time to start building the drawers.

Hi,
Quick question on these if you have a moment.  I am new to woodworking and am working on various sysports myself, including considering a multi column sysport.  Here is what I have been wondering in planning this and what I think about when looking at your design...

1. It looks like your end panels are the same length as your center dividers.  Whereas I had in mind that cabinets are best constructed where the end panels run the full height of the cabinet.  So the top and bottom would attach to the inside face of the end panels, rather than rest on the top of the end panels as your do.  Was this done for a particular reason?  Is one design better than the other?

2. How are your stretchers in the back attached?  It seems that if pocket screws are used that the pocket screws would interfere with each other where the stretchers meet at each interior vertical panel.  Hope this makes sense.

Great finished product and thanks for your comments, or anyone else who would not mind commenting.

Thanks!

I make up corner jigs on my assembly table.  There are commercial versions - like from Woodpeckers - hold everything square and tight.  Kreg also makes clamps for that job - more money - but if you're in production . . .
