Cool! Do you do this often? Does not look like dust control was your primary goal looking at that floor.  Looks like a good time by those who attended. |

sean this was my 2nd time but I am working on doing them more since they are more successful.
had dust control on all festool, Kapex etc except on the 2200 had it on the top port, but mdf I was doing a raised panel bit and it goes nuts.. plus I used a bosch colt router with an ogee that makes mess.

I think its great that you take the time to share with others. Education in the trades is really important, and probably not happening enough, especially in my industry.

I wonder if there would be much appeal for a dvd that took Gary's finish work through a cabinet grade finish sequence, prep to finish. Myself and my operations manager are actually going to be doing a series on finishing for tic, which should be really good, as far as you can go with print, pictures and video anyways. I think its really important to make better connections where finish carpentry/cabinetry transition in to prep for finishes and the actual finish. We see alot of backwards motion professionally in that transition.

Scott - I'd be very interested in such a project. |

Scott - I'd be very interested in such a project. Corey Good to know. I dont want to create false hope, or start any rumors about a finishing dvd. This thread is the first place the idea has ever hit my radar, but I think its a good one and could be a logical extension in the future of what I (and Todd, and our other guys) do with our online program for sharing information. In the meantime, the first thing that we definitely are doing is the series I mentioned for TIC which will be sequential, starting with basic paint grade prep through finish of woodwork, and then getting into stain grade, cabinet grade and spraying down the road. We are pretty excited to get that info out to guys who I think are hungry for clarification, particularly regarding the suddenly monstrous product and tool options for finish application. There are many, many of us who wander back and forth between working with wood and finishing wood. You are as likely to find Todd or I with an impact driver, compound slide or jigsaw as with an hvlp, aaa or Purdy. Its all connected. |

I hope you gave the guy in the blue shirt grief for falling asleep in class. In school I used to suffer from "the long blink", but never when standing next to the teacher's desk.  |

I was just joking about the dust on the floor. Congrats on the class. How hands on is it? How long is it?

You know I would be interested in checking it out. |

Good to know, Sean. There are alot of little nuances in the cabinet grade end of things, both in product and process, that would be fun to compile and share in the right format, whatever that may be.

It is interesting to see the direction you are taking things Scott. |

Interesting in a good way, I hope. Todd and I have been pretty inspired over the past year during the course of changing the way we do things. Finding new ways to get to the same and sometimes better result more efficiently has been huge on all fronts. |

I'm looking forward to your article too Scott. I never do any of my own finishing but would love to know more about it. I try to do the final sanding on some of my work but I'm always shocked when the painter starts putting the finish on. Usually in a bad way, once the finish starts going on I see alot of areas I thought were good need more love.
Dave

Thanks Dave. Todd Pudvar, who works with me, and is also a member of the fog, is working on the article. I know that he will be covering some of exactly what you are describing...what needs to happen for a smooth transition from carpentry to painting, with the least amount of backwards motion. Alot of minor imperfection and joint sanding tweaks don't show up until after primer, or even first coat when sheen is introduced, and Todd has some tips on how to avoid the surprise you are describing.

We keep the bloopers to ourselves. Maybe to be released on the 10th anniversary of the site or something.  |
