CXS sweepstakes thread

[Duck76]

I used my TXS while drywalling the ceiling in my garage.  Nice and lightweight.  The right-angle attachment got a workout screwing on the fiddly bits around the roller doors and the monorail beam I have stuffed up between my joists.

Having a CXS would make for a nice pair.  [smile]

I used my T18 and Centrotec Installers set last night to refasten some deck boards.

Extensive covered porch, stairs and handrails repair/replacement job using a TS55, CT33, RAS115, RO125, RO90, ETS EC125, DX93, Vecturo, and Domino 500. 

Talk about reliability...I purchased my CT33 in 2000 from Festool-Goleta, CA and it is stilling running strong after sixteen years.

The last project I worked on using a Festool product was a rolling kitchen island made of pallet wood and rustic maple.

I used my domino 500, ts 75, mft table, T15 drill, trion jigsaw and 18v carvex, and ro 90 and ro125.

I would post a picture of it but you asked not to so I am not

I have been helping my Mom set up displays and shelving for her antiques collection. Nothing fancy, but I have used my CXS and Installers kit, Kapex, Domino, TS55, CT26 and also the T15 impact to fix some fences around the property.

I just used the LR 32 set with a 1010 router to do shelf-pin holes for the first time, for a bookcase.  It's great.

 

[Peter Belisle]

Im finishing up a 76 inch wide by 48 inch tall 4 door cabinet for a customers 80 inch TV.  My Domino 500 and TS55 did most of the casework.  and my ETS 125 did most of the sanding.

I recently built a Kapex miter station for my shop.  I used the OF1400 router, Conturo, and MFK700 to build this project.  I used a medium gray double sided melamine (PB core) with both 2mm and 3mm PVC edgebanding.  The top corners have a radius to prevent what I refer to as "hip jams".  This was also my first use of the Sys-AZ drawers that provide storage for 4 systainers.  I also included a regular drawer and shelf for storage of Kapex accessories and additional blades.  The back has shelves deep enough for storage of various connectors I use (storage is in plastic cookie jars from a dollar store).  The saw is easily removed for attachment to a mobile stand when used away from the shop.  I have also attached Aigner rails so that I can attach extension tables when required.

I used my new domino d500 in a nightstand that I'm building.  I liked using it so much that I Just purchased a ts55 and a ct36. Thanks for the contest!

other thread still broken.

cool prize, here's my entry:
Installed laminate flooring in 4 rooms in the house; part of an ongoing 'doing it myself' renovation of a nearly hundred year old house.  Good portable dust collection was a big consideration in getting Festools.
