It's DNA!  The recipient will be able to clone people who work at Festool USA as well as the attendees of the last class.  Don't worry, I wiped it down after I touched it!

DNA from the FOG?? OMG!! LOL!!

I haven't seen the little guy in over a month and I have heard rumors that it isn't what I remember.

Peter,

I think you need delete something from your signature...

[tongue]
 
There was a package at my door when I got home from work today??.

Apparently Peter deemed me worthy of the coveted FOGtainer 1.

I?m honored, I really am.  I can?t say enough about Peter?s generosity, and a special thanks to the Festool staff and all of the forum members that supported this great project. [thanks]

Here are a few pictures of the FOGtainer 1.

?Hmmmm, I wonder if we could put together a big enough group order to have a custom color (I like dark blue) with a custom FOG logo made up. Anyone interested??

The result was a project with unprecedented participation that fostered community spirit, encouraged participation provided fun and humor, and enriched the live of Forum members.

As a thank you I pronounce you to be the new owner if this, THE one and only prototype of the Fogtainer Project.

FOGtainer 1 !
I hope you will enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed this entire experience!​

Thanks again to everyone involved! Now, let the next phase of this contest begin, picking the winners. [thumbs up]
 
Congratulations Brice.  It couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. 

Thanks for the inspiration on this project, and all of the great advice you've shared over the years.

Heck yeah Brice!  Congrats man, very deserving of it as well.  I'm just bummed I didn't pick the correct winner.  I'll have to go sulk.  You shouldn't have won I tell you, you shouldn't have won!!!

SO, the question we all have.  What are you going to put in it?
 
Well done Brice [big grin]. Much deserved reward for all your input on here CONGRATULATIONS.

John
 
Haha! I was right!!!

My guess is BRICE BURRELL.

He was the first person on that thread to suggest a group buy on a custom printed systainer.

Congrats Brice. As I said, it was you who suggested it first, so it's right you should have gotten it. Looks like I'm in with a chance of winning something too! [big grin]

Congratulations, Brice!

+1!  ... and I won't say a thing about those shorts.    [scared] [big grin] [wink]

Very good of of you Corwin.   [big grin] Geesh, I'm going to have have to crop that picture again....

Yeah, I would think you would have been more concerned about 'exposing' those shorts than that new extractor.
 
Congrats Brice.

The last time i seen a pair of legs like that they were hanging out a nest  [big grin]  [poke]

Seriously though, well done, you deserve it (& i guessed right also  [smile])

Woodguy.
 
Brice,  Congrats!  I was not expecting it to arrive today so unfortunately the drawing for the two other winners of something yet to be announced will be tomorrow.

BUT,

In the meantime, I want to announce that there are TWO other winners of Fogtainers.  Thru this entire project two members have contributed much time and effort to the project.  This time and effort goes far beyond what we saw on the forum - so much goes on behind the scenes.  Remember that old saying " a picture is worth a thousand words"?  We have a saying here that is similar "If you don't have pictures it didn't happen!"  Maybe from now on we can have a new saying: "If you have pictures - It CAN happen!"

Well, those two members were instrumental in the development and continuation of this project and have pestered me to death with questions about what else they could do to take a load off of me.  Well, I have an answer for them finally.

Wayne and Jonathan.  It seems that I will be getting some Fogtainers in the future, and I don't have room to keep a few.  So, in recognition of your skills and efforts to make this project the sensational success that it has become, as fully evidenced by the comments of others here, I hope that you will enjoy your new Fogtainers as a thank you from all of us.  

JONATHAN & WAYNE,  CONGRATULATIONS!
 
I think all this is the closest thing to a "Group Hug" you can get on the internet.  [thumbs up]

Congrats to all, and hats off to the FOG admin and mod group! [not worthy]
 
Congratulations Brice!  So well deserved, truly.  Not only for catalyzing the Fogtainer project into a "retail" movement, but for all you contribute to this forum and we all benefit from.

Congrats also to Wayne and Johnny.  You guys have an alternative career in 3d modeling / CG content.  I dunno if your pictures were worth a thousand words.. my jaw just dropped and I was kinda stunned quiet.  [wink] 

 
Congrads to Brice for sparking the Fogtainer fire and Wayne and Jonathan for keeping it burning.  Enjoy the fogtainers...
