    Hi Christian, Just catching up on the SMC posts. Very nice well organized shop. Do you want to fly over from Austria and organize mine. I could use some help.
    take care,

    festool vac holder

    Christian

    Could you show some more details on the hose holder for the vac? Shop rehab looks great.

    Hi Jay,

    I can't offer any detailed pics our measurements right now because I'm not at home. I didn't use any plans either but I just did a quick drawing. It's pretty basic and simple because I used Paint but I hope that it helps.



    The connection - holder to vac- only works when there's a Systainer on the vac. That's no problem for me because I constantly have my Compact Cleaning set on the CT 22. So when there's a Systainer on the vac there remains a "slot" between the vac's "body" and the Systainer. A piece of wood sanded/planed to the right thickness perfectly fits this slot.

    Hope this helps,

    Christian

    Thanks for the drawing! I echo Jim's comments, build something other than shop furniture!

    Great little ball we live on, this earth...

    It never fails to impress me that someone from Austria can post some pictures on a web site and get comments from someone in Iowa, Texas, or Canada - and that no matter how much we are different we are all the same - we ooddle over the Festools, marvel at some small detail, ask for help duplicating something and, low and behold, have the same problems and outlook (my wife swears that the primary function of my tools is to make something else for the shop.) I even have an old dresser in my shop very much like Christian's - and it holds things very well - of course, it is also a future project when it is restored, but that is another story.

    Perhaps we should get gov'ment folks to emulate our example.

    By the way - it would be nice if everyone would include their location even if it is just the state - but town and state would be best - I enjoy knowing where folks are from, as do many others, and there is no invasion of privacy issue here (and I am a privacy nut - well, maybe just a nut, you be the judge.)

    Thanks again for your replies.

    I already built some non-shop stuff (a doll cradle, some more doll furniture, basic jobs around the house…) but I don’t have any pics and I don’t think that this stuff would be worth showing any pics here.

    @ Ray: I completely agree and although I don’t want to get into a political discussion here I think that even the “gov'ment folks”, as you called them, could discuss the way we do as long as the subject isn’t politics.

    @ Byron: Yep, it’s a nice Lamello Classic C2 biscuit joiner. It took me more than 6 months of thinking until I finally bought it.

    Regards,

    Christian

    ..............or Festool vs EZ Guide, or Craftsman vs any other tool, or..............well, I'll let it go at that, but I still think we get along better (unless, of course, you disagree with me, in which case you are wrong)

    As I don't have any other options I agree with you. Honestly, those examples show, that even woodworking-related discussions can cause some kind of "touchy" atmosphere. So the chance, that politicians get along without "troubles" is even a lot smaller.

    Thanks, Mark. I really appreciate your kind words.
