I've been using mini systainers for a year or more very since I was given a couple, they are 265x170x70mm in size & ideal for bits & pieces that I need both on site & in the workshop. They clip together which makes them easy to transport especially when carrying several & saves me having 2 lots of tools like sharpening kit, sanding & finishing gear etc for both the van & the shop.
Having recently acquired some more as they were on offer I figured it would be a good idea to make a storage unit for them & as I was over at Jonny D's the other day I took up his offer of cutting & edging some MFC while I was there.
He had some nifty shop made cauls which have a groove to hold the 2mm lipping with upstands to centralise the panels when gluing & clamping the trim to the panels
A close up of the caul,
After an hour in clamps the panels were removed & the edges cleaned up with his laminate trimmer.
Back at my shop it was simply a matter of dominoing the shelves referencing the slots off the bed of the planer & utilising the dominos built in guides
The corresponding slots in the sides of the unit were cut using a spacer with reference marks to guide the cutter
The unit was then glued & clamped together
Once dry the back & top were screwed in place, the unit is small enough to sit under the pillar drill utilising space that would otherwise be wasted.
