Checkiing in

[Per Swenson]

Lets face it... we dang near lost our collective shirts, and panties too, in the last economic fiasco.
That of course does not absolve me or Swenson & Swenson from crawling in a hole and subsequently ignoring the woodworking community that brought us where we where to begin with.
 So now with a new shop. hopefully a new attitude, we would like to try again.
For those who are unfamiliar with us, a brief history.
One day we needed a sander.
We called Bob Marino.
Because he was close.
We discovered Festool.
And. we have been beating the crapoilla out of these tools ever since.
As a commercial enterprise they have paid for themselves over and over again.

I know how to abuse these babys and I am willing to share.

Shane,

We grabbed this dump, which I/we will transform into a Palace, for less then a Ford F450 fully loaded.
Right time. right place and a basement full of change.

Now here is the funny part.
The very nice and endearing lady who services the propane "round here, catches my name... and said,
You are that guy.
Now I am thinking the jig is up , me Bob Marley and Warren Zevon are exposed and done....

No, she says you are that carpenter guy.,

Funny ,
as I had my suspension rig on and a lolly column in my hand. Good guess am I right?

No, She knew me from here.

Your reach goes far and wide.
