I don't know what a woond shop is or how Festool can help!!

Anyways, if I had those cabinets, I would put them to good use, and systainer storage is a great idea.  The only thing I see based on the PDF, is that it might be better to have a separate shelf for each systainer, or you may have to jockey them around to get the one you want.

My drawing wasn't as clear as I meant it to be. Here's a better rendition:



All items are to scale. The green trays under the Systainers are full-extension drawer slide trays. I am trying to make then work as double-wide trays so I can get by with half the number of slides. But I have room to make them single width if that's what I decide to do.

Wooden Skye:
 a woond shop is apparently what you type at 4 o'clock in the morning after putting together First Aid kits until then.

Tom Bellemare:
You said "I would love to have those cabinets, if for no other reason, to keep dust out."

Exactly, and precisely why I am configuring them to see if I can make them work.

And although mine is a one-man hobby shop, it never hurts for OpSec to be able to close the tambour doors to hide the goodies behind them! Here's a cleaned-up example of that:



Anyway, hope this helps it make more sense?

Can you get electric openers for the doors?

I don't see why not. I already planned to wire them for chargers for my cordless tools, so I don't see why I couldn't add a circuit to control a small motor for the doors.

OK - one more project added to the shop list. Dang you, Kev...

 

I think your plan is solid and these would make great sysports.  As Tom mentioned, I like the fact that you could close the doors to keep dust out.  What are the dimensions of these cabinets?

All cabinets are 36" wide and 18-1/2" deep.
Useable depth inside is 16-1/2".
The two short cabinets in the center are 60" tall.
The four tall cabinets are 80" tall.
