hey,

I'm a 29year old diy'er. I grew up surrounded by wood because my grandfather was a woodworker. He taught me everything until he passed away when I was 15. Unfortunately my grandma then decided to throw away all his machinery. I was only able to save his handtools. Been making little things with cheap saws and electric tools.
But now I have bought myself a flat have decided to buy some decent tools to renovate and make furniture. And when you google for decent tools you always seem to end up with festool Grin. Pretty standard wishlist: ts55, mft/3 and of1010/1400 (ratchet and depth-setting makes me doubt) and accesories. Haven't bought any tools yet but when I entered a little online competition from festool I won my first festool 'tool' Wink.

met vriendelijke groeten,

Tim

Tim,

Welcome to the FOG  Welcome! Welcome!.

Pretty cool shirt!  You have found the place for questions and advice about Festool and just about anything else wood related.

If we can help, please let us know.

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.

Welcome.

It's the first Festool that does all the damage - the rest seem to show up all by themselves Smile

... that's my excuse !
