Since Ive been coming here, Im continuously amazed how creative and inventive you all are.
Plus how you share all your ideas and projects with each other.
Ive set up a library in my bookmarks with links to all the great ideas I think I can use now and in the future.
Any new festool users out there I highly recommend taking the time for going through all the old threads here.
You'll find a wealth of good info.
Keep it up guys , Your the best.
Now if we can get some sort of get together here in SoCal…..

Hi Sancho
Don't forget that you are part of the 'Festool collective' and we are greater than the sum of our parts!
I love the idea of a get together - how about here in the UK? You could charter a flight, Shane might pay, and we can dance around Stonehenge as the sun sinks over the skyline. Actually, at the moment we would swim around Stonehenge as the rain comes down.
Peter

Absolutely true. This is a great place with great people. People with a common goal of raising the bar with their craft, finding a better solution to their challenges, about creating a legacy of fine workmanship for future generations, selflessly sharing their wisdom and experiences.
I'm lucky to have been a part of it since about 2005 and look forward to many, many more years of being able to call many of you my friends. Thanks for letting me be a part of the club.
Glad you posted this.
Peter, I think it might be a little cheaper for you to fly here, where we've had no rain for months. At least it's not in the 100s (F) this week.
Shane

You might be right Shane, I have had so many wonderful visits to the US over the years. How come, Sancho, you know about Soho? It is a very quiet area of London - I think! The Kings Road might be better - see the photo - they sell cowboy boots!
I am saving up for the air fare guys.

Peter, It even looks like a real western store. I heard about Soho and Picadilly Circus from WW2 movies and such. Then when I was in the military I went there, quite different then what I thought it would be. But as a young kid in the military hehehehheee Ill have to tell ya in person about what we did… Shane would boot me off the site if I wrote it here  |

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

For me this has been the greatest site I have ever been a part of, There is nothing by great advise, fun facts and just great sharing of on-line friends.
I thank all for what they have done to create this great place.

I just had to mention that Michael Johnson has just carried the Olympic torch around Stonehenge - I should have included him in the story line of my e-book -never mind. We were a little way away from Stonehenge but even so the traffic was awful. I have just found a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18802568I hope that it works. Peter |
