lemonjello Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I saw a video of the Festool fancy tool holder and also the half inch shy dude also made a cart similar to mine. Anywho...Here is mine. Pieces of garage tool rack kit, some 1x3, and plywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 looks good can i ask why you have stones on the top is that to keep your stuff grom geting scratched but to let the sawdust fall between the stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjello Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Haha! No, they're not stones, although it does look like it. It is a piece of a silicone rubbery sink mat. It's nice and grippy. I cut it to fit and laid in the top so I can remove it and vacuum dust and debris. Great for "landing" the sander or the saw on. The garage rail pkg came with a bunch of different hooks so I can move stuff around, add or remove hooks. The best addition were the baskets and pieces of PVC onto the shelf piece(got from dollar store) to put all the vacuum tools and pencils etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a similar cart I build for my welding stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMarcel Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nice, like the hook lip you put around the landing pad for other tool hooks. I had mine like that for a couple years (with a Sys4 raising the landing pad) then swapped it out for a Sys1 I wasn't using (C-12 drill box; it's always out) stacked with a 4-drawer sortainer (Sys3 height). Love having the sortainer there for pliers, drill bits, all the drill chucks, etc. You might not have an open side for the drawers, but the idea might work if you put the sortainer first then Sys1 stacked above before the landing pad and simply put tools that don't hang down too low on that side so you don't block the drawers; maybe that basket could be on that side. Definitely makes it that everything is right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckkisser Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 just got my own tool cart............its a big masterforce tool cabinet that way i can move everything around and lock up my tools at night since my tools are at work. going to get a side cabinet to put my sander/spray unit it and then i can use the top of it as a small table top. now i can push the cart around to help the kids and dont have to make lots of trips to take to get the tools i need. but i want to get some kind of rubber mat to keep my wood from moving around on me and keep the wood from geting marks on it.
