Hey Pete, i have some pics of my Fogtainers for you at last. Just so you know they arrived at the north of Scotland today. Had a bit of a problem with the delivery people, they "missplaced" them. All is good & they arrived safe & well today. Thank you very much, i am more than happy with the stickers  I was going to get all my systainers together & post a pic of them all together but after seing Windmill Johns i dont think i will bother  Cheers Peter, Alan. |

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.

UPDATE for those still waiting:
Everyone's order is bubble wrapped and should be boxed tomorrow. Shipping invoices should go out on Saturday via email.

The last batch of ordered and paid Fogtainers. I really love my MFT/3. Increased productivity by at least 75% when packing. The tallest stack is about 10 1/2 feet tall. The shortest - 8 feet.  YEAH! Peter |

OH bleepety-bleep! There was a contest here...and for once in the past eight months I didn't check this thread sixteen times every twenty-four hours, looking for updates.... something tells me I could have won this one...  ...well, it does seem at least I'm going to get a Red Lantern award: the last being in Creation to receive the first batch of Fogtainers. Or is anyone going to receiving them later than me?  ? |

Mr. Flick...
I hooked up my 14 foot trailer to my one ton truck and made a special trip to the post office that is only open for 2 hours on Saturday so that I could ship you your beloved Fogtainers today.
I assure you that you will not be the last.
On the way to you.
Peter

Oh, I forgot to mention that the FOG will get the last Fogtainer to be used as it sees fit. I will work on getting it personalized much like the prototype was. It would make a great prize for a contest!

But your wait for the Fogtainers will be shorter than my wait for a CMS! Invoices have been sent for the remaining purchased Fogtainers. Lucky me - I discovered some more extras for later this week. Yeah! I plan on having a big shipping day Tuesday! Peter |

Where's my free gift Probably the same place mine is. As you might have guessed, I am confused and wondering what was included inside of a Fogtainer. I did use some of them for storage. Right now I can't locate a whole bunch of envelopes used for customs forms. I did check and my Bridge City Tools DJ-1 is in the house - that was in a Fogtainer 1 at one point. At least I am not a Leper and leaving parts of me elsewhere  . Confused |

Ken,
I checked with MacGyver and he denied everything. In fact he is rolling on the floor laughing right now.
On a more serious note, more Fogtainers arrived today at their destinations, more are in shipment, and the last huge load leaves tomorrow. Fifty-four more on their way to new homes / shops.
That will leave only a few orders here to ship and the surplus ones.
Should be some gloat images in the next 4 days or so.
Peter

I had a box waiting when I got home today I think theses are the first printed FOGtainers in the public domain. Other then the prototype. It looks like a Bob Marino packing job, lots of bubble wrap. The printed logo looks fantastic, glad I waited. Super job Peter, Thanks a million. |

Your staying power on this project has been extraordinary to watch. Seriously, what a job you've pulled off single handed. Absolutely first class. The end's in sight, now!

Mac, Thanks. Several international members had theirs leave today! I was thinking for the next project I would try laser engraved toothpicks. NOT! Just checking if the Foggers who have been waiting for apparel are reading. Peter |
