You're definitely onto something here. With 8 or 10 Festools I've grown to hate Systainers but RU-vid content providers such as yourself have convinced me that I'll love them when I can pull them out and push them out of my road.
Great idea. I love the idea of keeping everything in Systainers for protection and for the super slim chance that I'll be working offsite. It also feeds my OCD. I'm glad that you used the full shelves instead of just the new style that don't allow the boxes to open unless they're pulled out.
Thanks! My middle SysBENch uses the new style drawer slides. I'm a fan of the Sys-AZs for sure - makes retrieving/storing a breeze. I think the new drawer slide system is better for mobility and not as much for shop use. The plans I'm selling are for the SYS-AZ drawers, not the new style slide measurements (different than SYS-AZ). I really dig the style of the bench as well.
@@BenMarshallDesigns you nailed it. I'm looking at converting a bare Transit to a combo camper and mobile work van so the Festool rails are the way to go. I started off working towards Milwaukee Packout but they have zero elegance to their setup whereas I can use Sytainers for clothing and food storage just as well as I can store tools.
Very thought through design to support your work flow (and dust cleaning). As a Festool user over many years, I have learned many useful tricks from your videos. I am using both Festool's drawers and home made drawers with push to open slides and like the push to open better the Festool drawers in a stationary design. One advantage is that home made drawers could be made to double (systainer) depth which would give you easy accessible storage for two systainers per drawer. You can never get enough storage space for Festool systainers. 😀
Glad you found the videos helpful 👍🏻👍🏻 systainers are addicting 😆 I use the systainer from the shaper to hold my camera gear on my motorcycle, works fantastic
While I love the workbench (I'm also a Festool lover and own many of them), I just wanted to tell you that you are SO handsome. :) Bald and bearded--just how I like 'em! LOL....Ok...Now back to dem tools....Great design. I'm finishing the interior of my 16' x 26' shed and I am looking for storage ideas for my systainers. This is helpful!
Hi Ben.. The link for your website does not seem to be working. I would like to order your plans for your Sysbench as I really like your plan. I am building some garage shelving very similiar to your sysBENch. I hope your still offering your plans as I would like to purchase them...thanks
That was good. That was very good. Extremely detailed & concise. You have the benefit of a concrete (type) wall, so am curious about the approx weight of each sysBENch without systainers & tools. I'm also looking at using mft style tops instead of ply, as I already have them. Due to the weight, does it have to be wall mounted, or is there a way (additional info) to floor it & secure to the wall (wooden studs)?
Although I don’t have a scale to measure it, I’d rate it 6/10 on back pain, and a 9/10 on solo awkward installation 😆 have a tire jack REALLY helped out and made it easier. It’s about 1.5 sheets of 18mm ply. I’d say it’s close to 100lbs
@@BenMarshallDesigns. Mine will definitely need to be floor mounted. My wall has enough weight on it already, so looking forward to trying to this out one day very soon.
I am new to the Festool ecosystem and am starting to collect a pile of systainers. Would it be possible to make your sys-bench so that you can have systainers double deep in each drawer?
I found out that Ben is no longer doing woodworking videos and has moved on. Was wondering if anyone who has commented on Ben's video on his sysBench would happen to have Ben's plans for his sysBENch? I would pay for his plans if someone here would have them....thanks
I have the Fuji Q5 platinum. I’ve had it for a few months and will review it probably This summer depending on my schedule. It’s been a great sprayer so far, still learning the ins and outs of spraying as I used to roll and tip all my projects.
@@BenMarshallDesigns Thanks Ben I look forward to it and appreciate your time to full learn & experience the product prior to your review. I know that one can chose from three Fuji guns with the Q5 and you chose the T-75G over the T-75 or the G-XPC. I’m interested in hearing about why you chose that gun over the other two when you do your review (I believe your buddy Jason is using the G-XPC). (I’m trying to pick between the two Gravity Guns myself). Thanks.
@@warrenbarnes6629 Thanks, Warren. When I ordered the Q5, I don't recall having a choice on which gun to use (was an amazon purchase). The gun I have works, however it can be finicky at times. The screw on lid can be a pain when there's a little bit of built up residue near the threads.
Nope! Still holding out on the Festool CS70. Shipping to the US is about the same cost as the saw, so for the moment it's still not in the cards. I did upgrade to the TSC55KEB, which is a fantastic track saw
@@BenMarshallDesigns could I rip 1x2s with a track saw? I'm trying to avoid getting a table saw until I can get the Festool, also. However, I make laser signs and frames. I would like to rip my own wood for the frames. Thanks
@@Jesusistheonlyway549 it’s very possible. Festool makes the parallel guides and an edge guide for narrow rips on sheet goods. for that kind of cut, a table saw would be more of a convenient way to rip rather than actually capability issue. www.festoolusa.com/accessory/491469---pa-ts-55#Overview
@@Jesusistheonlyway549 Good luck with the hunt. totally possible on a track saw, but much easier on a table saw if you’re doing it constantly. If I had to make small rips everyday, I’d much rather do it on a tablesaw
I hope that you guys are secretly friends and this is hinting at a future collaboration. If you guys served together or he made you cry when he was a drill instructor, that's okay too.
