Bloggers' Visit to Festool HQ 2017

Hey [member=41214]Phil Beckley[/member] , will new pads be available for the RO, ETS & ETS EC lines?

Does a hard pad remain "hard" when the thin interface pad is added?

A car has just smashed into a power and landline pole 20 yards from our house. We are the only people still with power and phone line. I may be a bit slow responding to posts once they send the repair guys in to clean up the mess.

Peter

I hope that no one was seriously hurt as the result of knocking down the pole.....

No the guy had just a few scratches but the power has been on and off and we lose the internet when the power goes. I also lost my last 10 minutes of video editing, got a corrupt back-up file and am still re-building.

I do not have a list of the attendees and for some I only know their first names. Whilst I wait for the list to be sent I thought that I would mention Paul Sprague from Toolpig...

Find him as @toolpig on Instagram (whatever that is !).

Peter - you know that if you would drive on the right (correct) side of the road these accidents wouldn't happen! I have drove over there a few times and always struggled making turns as always wanted to go to the American side!

The driver was lucky to walk away from that.

That driver was on the "American" side of the road just before he crashed  [wink]

Hi

Darn Phil that is a really steep slope!  [big grin]

Maybe this image will show how it would look on level ground.

That's just a truck - what about a bit of woodwork - maybe a challenge to some of the critics out there to see how good they really are...

The picture shows Frank Jaksch, a great guy, who is a Festool teacher and demonstrator based in Germany. He made the Goldberg Polyhedron thingy on a Precisio. It consists, like a football, of hexagons and pentagons all of the right size and cut at the right angles. I might try and make something like this one day (when I have nothing better to do than make firewood).

Maybe we should have a FOG competition to see what others can do?

Can anyone tell me the make of that truck...

  ... is it an Opel - No !

  ... is it a Mercedes - No otherwise Lewis would be at the wheel !

  ... VW - nope

  ... BMW - it could be a Rolls Royce but the colour looks wrong

Okay what is it then?

Peter

 

[bbeaulant]

Dodge, no ?

Love this thread, amazing content - please keep it coming Peter & Phil.

By the way, the truck is a Dodge Ram.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Okay Phil, what about bringing the naughty pictures in early?

I have got one of that stripped down Domino, oh, and another one of you juggling.

What do you think?

Definitely a Dodge...that's what people buy when they can't afford a Ford.  I've put 250,000+ miles on four vans over the last 37 years, fifth one has 233,000.  I had one two vans ago that I put two sets of tires, two exhaust systems and that was it for 255,000 miles.  When I upgraded I could run my finger in the exhaust pipe and not need to wash.

Of course Peter, I'm back to my workshop to make dust

And you, not so tired after this trip ?

....if this comes to the UK I would hate the fuel bill - it would be huge for here  [eek]

When I get my social media and IT wrong I usually find a 12 year old to sort it out. You just get Peter H.

Do we do the caption competition now or maybe that is risky ?

Please watch what you say FOGgers !
