Last November, I went to the Festool System Essentials class in Las Vegas mainly because I wanted to see an MFT/3 in action and decide if I was going to take another sip of the green kool-aid. I ended up mixing up a gallon or two and chugging it.
When I started the class, I had a TS-75 and a Domino 500, a CT-33 with the cleaning kit and my first ever Festool, the Kapex. I stopped into Woodcraft on my way home from the airport and picked up C15 drill, OF1400 router and the LR32 kit, RO90 and RO150 Sanders, and Carvex PSB420 with accessories. Stuff they didn't have in stock that I had to order on line, 15 sys-AZ drawers which I had to wait over a month for, MFT/3 and the WCR-1000. The WCR-1000 I thought was ridiculous until I took the class. After using one for two days, I can't imagine not having it. Below are a few pictures in my shop.
I realized my storage for Systainers was insufficient. Here is my old Systainer Storage which is going to be refurbished and repurposed. My guide rails were laying on wire shelves
Below is the Festool Training classroom that was my inspiration
My shop is a two car garage that also houses a tractor which is easy to move out of the way for projects. My Festool corner is shown below.
Easy access to my rails
I'd always wanted to add a sys port or two to the shop, but the price was just too high. The SYS-AZ made a decent compromise. 14 of my 15 SYS-AZ drawers are in use. These are simple plywood boxes and my first LR32 project. The inside is painted with some ceiling paint I had left over from the garage build and the outside is Rustoleum Hammered metal gray. The casters are from a datacenter teardown I did about twenty years ago. I'm down to two 5 gallon buckets of them.
