Festool MFTC workstation

[Giff]

Someone posted this link a week or so ago for a Festool MFTC, sorry can't find the original post......but here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5YzIwK-g0E

I decided to make one and have just finished it, so here it is. It is a really good design and the plans as very detailed.

I have had to alter things slightly, the feet and the T tracks, and a drawer instead of one of the Sysytainers for the De Walts screw guns.Geoff

I think that's excellent Geoff, a superbly executed version of the workstation.

Nice work Giff. That looks like a superb solution for the mobile woodworker.

Excellent, how many hours to build?

 

[Giff]

Took ages to make. The plans were good but the measure twice rule was necessary. On and off I think it took me about two weeks to make..It really is a brilliant idea and will work as an auxillary bench in the workshop as well if you are short of space..like me..

Been considering making something similar (bit more steel) to the mftc since I saw the video, maybe next year.
Good work.

Very good, well done. I really like the original as well, not looked at his site, ( bit busy now, maybe later......... but what are the side rails made of?

Do you mean the T track ? that's Rutland 3/4 rails. Or the side of the bench top ? That's birch ply painted Festool-ish colours. I have also used 18mm MR MDF for the top instead of 12mm as he suggested...I think it's a bit better for clamping to.
