Any woodworkers who want to get into medicine? Maybe, in 5 years time.

Just saw this news on the BBC. Apparently some Italian scientists have found a way to turn wood into something like human bone. Who, knows, maybe in a couple of years you guys will be going into the hospital with your TS55 and help out the surgeon replace a new bone.  [big grin]

So, "Rattle my bones" will become "Shiver me timbers".  [poke]
Sorry Popeye.

Hey Alex
So does this mean that Festool may come out with rattan dominoes for the medical field?

Sure could come in handy fixing all those broken bones.  [cool]

Can you imagine: People preforming surgery on MFT's and being held there with Festool clamps.

Years ago I did some work for an Orthopedic Specialist, he loved doing woodworking projects when time allowed, he said that many of the tools used in theatre are similar to woodworking tools and used in a similar way.

I wonder if Festool would make an all stainless steel Domino with a selection of Titanium dominoes! ;D
