That is great news - especially that overseas orders work out quite reasonable.
I am tied up with a private project at the moment but have a number of additional ideas for the Parf Dogs.
Perhaps someone could try this one out...
If you regularly want to cut large lumps of wood or ply and have thought about an extra large MFT top why not get a big piece of MDF, cut just 4 x 20mm holes (2 across the top and 2 down at right angles) and use the top two for the back rest bench dogs and the other two for the Parf Dogs. Bingo, you have as big an MFT top as you want and you do not need to drill more than 4 holes (unless you need more for other purposes).
Take care.
Peter

The watch is working brilliantly - it just needed a new battery - this country needs a bit more than a new battery to get it going...but we should stay away from politics!
Thank you for the comment about the Parf Dogs. They have solved a number of issues for me. I have been away all day today and only needed to take a bare MFT3, 1400mm rail, TS55 and a pair of Parf Dogs and bench dogs (plus a hammer, a chisel, a screwdriver...).
I am looking forward to all of the new uses that users will discover over the coming months.
Thanks again.
Peter

Parf Dogs is short and simple - a bit like me really - and is now being used throughout the known Universe; there is a rumour that there is a planet around a small star in Andromeda that may not adopt the name as they pronouce their 'P' like an English 'F' and their 'F' like an English 'T'. There is no accounting for taste!

I think it's unlikely you will find a dealer over there carrying these any time soon pugilato. Delivery from us in the UK to Puerto Rico would be £8

Gosh, Epicxt, you do move around a lot. I have just posted a reply to you on another thread.
Good luck with the Parf Dogs - let us know how you get on with them.
I think that someone should run a competition to see who can demonstrate the most brilliant use for the Parf Dogs - we would need photos... Perhaps the 1000th Parf Dog order should be free of charge!
Tom...TOM...Hello Tom...He may not be answering...

Woo-hoo! Parf dogs arrived today in Washington state.  Have a small project in mind for these. Could be done with the mft fence but this should be quicker, and the timing is right. Cheers! |

Hello Everyone The prototype 'Parf Dogs' have arrived and I have made a quick video to describe just some of their uses. They are being marketed by Intelligent Workshop here in the UK and they ship to most destinations - they certainly have Europe well and truely covered. Although I have designed the Parf Dogs I have not been paid for the design but have managed to keep the prototype pair of Parf Dogs as a reward and expect a pair of the production items in due course. I hope that you will find them interesting. Here is the link... Parf Dogs for the Festool MFT3 and Walko work benchesPeter In a world full of several billion people plagiarism is inevitable, intended or otherwise. |
