If all UK members just say a Hello/Hi  then when a NEW UK member says Hello it will pop in your new replies making you aware of a new GB crew! + If I update this posts I can make a comment so it will pop up in your New Replies also!

Hope this will help for some future organised events OR trying to get some tools or other items from the USA across the pond in quantity.

I'm guessing, from viewing the chart at the beginning of the thread, that the yellow represents a stong DeWalt presence for the Welsh and that's the problem?

I guess your only an addict if you admit to your addiction!
I only popped into my local tool shop and came out a festool nut (bloody sneaky festool)
I came out with a ts55 and guide rails.............
Oh and now the list is as follows
Kapex with ug undermount
Rotex 150 sander
Dx 93 sander
Ctl 26 dust extractor
Ctl midi dust extractor
Ti 15 impact driver x 2
C15 cordless drill x 2
Cxs cordless drill
Centrotec set
Ps 400 jigsaw
Spirit levels
Of 2200 router and copying rings
Ofk 700 edge router

A few sortainers and systainers for all other tools (non festool)
As I said I only popped in the shop
Now the wife says she is a festool widow, she says it's not normal to have a festool catalogue next to the bed and recently she checked my browser history   only to find nothing but festool and FOG...........

No Festool at the NEC again Sad    Mafell are at the NEC though.

Festool always seem to be represented by other companies  like bunny bolts.  Cus not sure when but Bunny bolts was their last time with Festool and Protool Tools thats when I bought the Protool Sword from the NEC from bunny bolts.

Been the last few times! I just stare at the machinery I cant afford  Crying

We have different brands here. Nothing like what you guys get. We do have some english/ irish pubs that sell a variety of UK beer. But believe me. I will be a authority by the time my 3 years over there is over :>D

I thought you were going to retire to Nevada?

So did I. I even forgot I applied for this job. It  came out of nowhere.


 I forgot all about even applying for it.

I must of applied when I was deployed in AFG.

I told them yea Id take the job but I need to know before Apr1 cuz Im due to retire.

When I got the first phone call (13 Mar) asking if I was still interested I told the guy  that they would have to make their decision before then so I can pull back my retirement. Then monday I get a email asking If I would accept a tentative job in huntingdon England. I told the family, I  thought about it and accepted it.

My 16 y.o. daughter (calm down boys I got a big bat I carry) has been talking about wanting to go there for 2 or 3 years, my son who is a excellent (brilliant in english terms) football player (soccer) has been wanting to go there and try his luck. His trainer here has connections there and will try to get him a look at.
So I took everything in consideration and accepted it.


I think I got a handle on the language, lets see

"Hey Keep how about a  effin pint over here and one for me new mate"

"Bullocks the bloody reds lost to that russian team again "chelsinski"

"Bloody Ref screwed us on that call, effin wanker, go back to the coca cola league ya piker

So I think Im coming right along with my communications skills , Big Grin

Im sure they will get fine tuned after I get to know the guys at the local pub, lumber yard and tool store.

Seriously my only concern is shop space. Im going to be looking for a garage , preferably a 2 car.

Im going to sell my stationary tools to a good friend of mine and take my festools with my. Im guess I would not need a table saw, jointer, big router table etc anymore. I havent used mine since I started using the festool system. I am going to get the CMS (one with all the attachments ) and the OF2200 here before I go  and ship them over.

I can pick up the centering ring for it there along with the TS55 / jig saw belt sander and module there. Ive been considering getting the TS75 module and leave it in the module just in case I have to cut some thicker wood.

But to be honest, my wood working will be playing second fiddle to traveling and seeing the country. I think its a excellent opportunity for my kids and wife, to see all that history there. We are so deeply tied with the UK in our history and they will never have a chance to get over there in there entire lives to actually send time enjoying the country and culture. Plus being so close to Scottand, Ireland, Wales , Germany, France, Austria, Chech Republic etc. Im really excited about it.
I havent been there since the 70s. Germany was divided, I looked over the wall into East Berlin, Now we can go visit it.

Im hopeing nothing happens to screw this up. Its like a dream to me.

Peter and I have been conversing, He gave me a link to Axminster. Looks like a decent supplier. Thanks for the heads up about the box store. I dont usually go to them for much. so you guys get 4X2s huh? Do they sell them by how tall they are rather then length? Cool

Im hopeing once I get settled to start a few small projects to keep me busy Maybe a lot of the jigs and kewl things Ive seen some of you guys post here.

They are all busy at JLC live so I guess I timed it perfectly :>D.

Id wait a little bit before you decide to this side of the pond. Things are starting to turn around, barely. But there are a lot of things happening that may throw the economy back i the dumpster.
We alway like nice decent people to come here .
What part of the country were you thinking about?

BTW I know about the kids in school thing, I have the same issue. Thats why it took me so lng to make the descision to take the job.
It is a difficult one.

I've only ever been to Florida Orlando to be precise 2 years ago and loved it. A guy I sub contract off told me he's off to live in Canada in a couple of months . He will still be keeping us busy here to give him a bit of extra money . He's already got a place he shares in whistler but he's not living there.

Hi,
Only just found this thread but then I am still very new to both this place and Festool !
I am Steve, from London originally but now in Cornwall.
I paint mainly but do a little or everything, and so far have a RTS400 and a Rotex 90.
Looking at a CXS though I don't really need one and a TS55R though I have no idea how to use it to anything like its abilities !

Also looking for help when the credit card bill comes thudding loudly through the letterbox.....

I thought I might make use of this Topic I started a while ago!    Although I started it mainly to see how many UK members there are and I thought it might be a good way to make ALL UK members aware of UK events etc

I thought I could use this topic to see if some one might have an answer!    I know Festool Should answer his question!  Just be nice if some one else was able to answer it

Hopefully, or maybe, someone from Festool UK will learn of this post and get in touch with him.  If he hasn't gotten in touch with them directly he should.  I haven't followed the link to see what happened, I just saw his question in that other thread and hoped it was an easy answer for a UK user.

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.
