Gentlemen,
Here is the deal with me. I work 4 weeks away and then I get 4 weeks home.
I work in Africa at present so I have actually 25 days off as I travel on my time.
I live in Newfoundland, Canada.......an island with a population of about 5 to 650,000 tops.
There is one Home Depot on this island and one Festool distributor. And the Festool stock there is just a few samples.
For me, I have to order from Lee Valley, either online or on the phone. I cannot hop in my car and go buy something; I try to get hopefully what I will use. So getting things, especially festool I have to rely totally on what you guys say, I have no other basis.
Peter has said wait until I see if I like the router, a good point, but it is likely I will and I am sure he feels the same.
Incidently Tim, The garage is detached 22 x 26, 2 floors (barn style roof) solely a woodworking shop. My first plan is to build a bench against one wall about 8 feet long, made from sheet birch ply and drawers. And with this order I am ordering the Kapex as well and the 500 domino. The kapex I plan to set into the bench and use the top to run flush with the kapex table.
Then I plan to build an assembly table and then a scandanavian style woodworking bench.
From there I want to make some furniture for myself, ie, bed, lamp tables, mirror and so on.
So my LV order, here it is:
OS 1400, table widener, small bore base, guide stop, and edge guide. What I try to do is get a general feel from everyone and then place my order as it is a week before I get it
Thanks guys for all the comments, I still will read all the comments over and over again and think before I ''proceed to cart'', LOL
Sincerest Regards,
Dan Power
