AWFS Photos

[Matthew Schenker]

Are any FOG members planning to attend the Las Vegas AWFS Fair this month?  If so, please take some photos.  Later on, we can get them posted in the "Woodworking Shows" album in the gallery.

I took a series of photos at the last fair.  Here they are: 2005 AWFS Fair

James,
Excellent!  Take a bunch of photos, then get in touch with me after the show.
Thanks,

Today is the last day of the show.  Festool Owners Group members -- take photos!!

 

[James Biddle]

Good news is that I have some pics from the show... Bad news is that I forgot to take any of the Festool area, sorry.  I was half-expecting to see something new in the Festool area, like a Kapex or something.  But no, it was the same tools that are already released.  I did enjoy getting a demo of the MFS400 and 700 systems though.  It was also cool to see Marc Spagnoulo (aka The Wood Whisperer) demoing the Domino.

I took a few pics, not as man as I thought i did though.  See the gallery.

Phil,

Here's a screen shot of your Gallery.  I don't see anything that looks like it could be the AWFS show.

Regards,

Dan.

Phil, following the gallery link I come tohttp://benchmark.20m.com/projects/projects.html and there are nine good looking projects but not AWFS or other woodshows. Could it be an old version or a broken link?

By the way how's the new shop coming along?  I came by your site around X-mas and was very impressed by the project. However looking now I can't find any pictures after dec 1?

...I don't see anything that looks like it could be the AWFS show.

I think Phil was referring to the Festool Owners Group Gallery:http://www.festoolownersgroup.com/CoppermineMain/thumbnails.php?album=44

Hey Guys!

Nicole here from the Wood Whisperer. Sorry to bring this post back to life, but I came across the site by accident tonight and I thought I would share a few things from the AWFS show that you might enjoy.

I took over a 100 pics at the show and added them to flickr for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind they are pics of the whole event, but most are in the Festool booth (where Marc and I were for 4 days

Enjoy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/83258888@N00/sets/72157601166193177/

I saw all the others though, nice work!

hmmm, it might have been a permissions thing in Flickr. I reset the permissions and checked it.  The link should show all 108 pics now.

 

[Matthew Schenker]

Nicole,
I just went to the Flickr site, and the photos are accessible.  Thanks for letting us know about them!  Let me know if you'd like to post any to the Festool Owners Group gallery.

All the 100 pics show up when I clicked on the link.  The only issue I later had was when trying to click through them on that site that many when displayed in enlarged format were sideways with the top of the room toward the right of my PC screen.
