I made a wooden toolbox that also acts like a workbench with lots of clamping abilities, these simply lock on the systainers so that you always have a portable workbench with you.
i had to make a couple prototypes to get it right, but the result is there. i made several ones for myself of different height, one of them i plan on turning into a portable jigsaw/router table.
I occasionally go help other woodworkers on job sites, and having them not be equipped properly always annoys me. thats where i got the incentive to make this, and it’s simply fantastic to have a mini workbench with you that doubles as a tool box.
i made a video demonstrating it:
for those who are interested i made a 26 page instruction manual with everything you need to build this, including plans, jigs and pictures. I have a page about it on my site
For a small fee you can buy the plans.
thanks for watching!

thanks for the comments, if you follow the link to my web page you can buy the plans there. They are in metric just like the systainers, but i added directions for those who use imperial measures and materials as well.
