I just completed my first real furniture project. I have never owned a router, circular saw, jig saw, etc. You get the idea. I decided to try my hand at woodworking and made some major purchases to get started. In this project I used the TS 75 for jointing the boards and cutting the lumber to size. I also used it for the miter cuts for the trim. I used the 1400 router for the dovetails, rabbets, and dadoes. I used the carvex for the base. The trim was installed using dominoes. The sanding was with Rotex 125. I used a Leigh jig for the dovetail work. The wood was maple that I dyed with transtint dyes-amber first, then followed with medium brown. The final finish was 4 coats of waterlox.
Needless to say, I learned a lot on this project. I doubt I could have done this without the festool system, the information obtained from the FOG, and all the Festool videos. Loads of fun and looking forward to my next project.
