Quiz answer. It's a festool TS55 & CTL Midi holder/boom arm

[Howie]

Just 'knocked' this up for using in the workshop. It ain't pretty but will do the job.
What do you think this is for?
No prize cause I'm a tight git, just the satisfaction of guessing correctly.

a)An ioniser stand - to push sawdust out of suspension in the air.

Looks like a shelf for your hot-glue gun; the angled slope below must be for the glue sticks, they'll roll down to the front so the whole essential kit is readily to hand. ;-)

 

[Howie]

Good guessing so far chaps
Ian, I already use a pyramid to do my ionising and dust extraction. :wink:
Jake, that's one hell of a big glue gun. :lol: But you're right it is a shelf. In fact it's two shelves for two bits of kit that work together.

Love it pete.
It's not the first time I have painted myself into a corner. :lol:
At least with those big shelves I have enought tea and biscuits to last me for several days until the cavalry arrives to rescue me.

[Howie]

You're just getting desperate now Pete.
Also it's amusing that no one is trying to actually seriously guess.
Another clue, I made a table to go under it which is 8' x 4'.
Answer with pictures will be put up around supper time.
Keep guessing.

OK then chaps you have all had your chance, here is what it is.

I have always found the hose on the festool vac is getting tangled/caught up on anything it can and annoys the cr*p out of me. After looking at various options including the expensive official boom arm I decided to try out this idea. Didn't take long to make and was cheap to do with mostly stuff I had lying around the workshop.

It's a holder for my track saw and vac setup.

Notice the high tech quick release suspension doo hickey.

Here is the bench I made out of an old consul table, bunged some wheels on it and a sacrificial sheet of 8'x4' 18mm MDF on top. The sheet is cut at 800mm wide and the other 420mm folds down so it doesn't take up too much room. I fixed the MDF sheet down to the CLS timber supporting frame with dowels as I didn't want to hit any screws when using the track saw.

and here it is in action showing how I now don't have to worry about getting the hose snagged up when doing a cut.

So that's my quick fix on how to safely cut up my sheets. I am looking forward to making a few marks into the table top tomorrow.

Nice one, It was difficult to judge the size of it from the photos, well that's my excuse anyway.
