Wow!! The Advance Router Class in Indy must be really popular. I signed up to receive notifications on Festool's upcoming trainings. I got one this morning at 9:56 and in under 50 minutes the Advanced Router Class was booked! I'll have to remember to try and be quicker next time  . |

They are popular and well worth attending. Keep trying. Every week while reading questions and comments here I remember the huge amount of information I received in the three classes I attended and the little non-commonly taked about tidbits that pop forward in the brain at just the right time.
Brian and Steve have the experiences and the gift of being able to explain so much in a short period of time in a manner that you will remember once you need it most.
They don't participate here much, but if there was a classification for Rock Stars of Festool and the FOG they would be way up there in that class.

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.

Yeah, and when there is actually finally a single Festool Router Basics class organized here in Finland after a lot of prodding and advocacy it's of course organised on exactly the dates when I'm in the US  |

Argh. Got the email notification today amd laughed (in an ironic way). I have all sorts of family coming to town that week because the PGA Championship will be on Kiawah! Got tickets for the final round...
Some day the planets will align amd I will make it to a class.

As Peter said, keep trying.
I have attended 4 or 5. From the very basic to the advanced classes. I had the prevledge of meeting Peter and being Brice's partner. Kreg was a partner in another class and spent the weekend at my home, prior to him going back for the following week classes. Everyone who I had class with was great.
The staff is fantastic, you will be treated very well. I hope they have a solid surface class in Lebenon. Then again my wife wants to see Vegas.

I live 2 hours away and I have only had time to make it to the very first one. At least you guys can take the time to go, with a back log of projects and 3 kids it seems I have no time to do anything.
I vividly remember what we had to eat each day though.

Yes, the local Festool product instructor (Jari-Pekka Vilkman) aand a specialist tool store here are organizing one. To my knowledge Festool does not have a course schedule for private persons here normally. |
