Which part Peter?! The rain or the tools?! Looks like you're in VA too so you've got rain coming your way if it hasn't started already! LOL! [big grin]
The TS 75 performed flawlessly and I'll give the Parallel Guides a 9/10. The plywood, for the most part is splinter free, and the reason I'm giving the PGs a 9/10 is because there's extra effort involved keeping them from falling down on the opposite side of the rail (I've clamped them on the ply using some 2" spring clamps). I'm tempted to drill into them and put a flap or some other modification that I've seen here on the board. Once the first cut was setup, the subsequent cuts were almost a thoughtless process.
The PG do, however perform as intended, the pieces are all uniform and, you guessed it, parallel. Next step is to rip them on the MFT to square them up and rip the sides and dividers.
Seems like I'm doing this bassackwards but I need the grain to go a certain way…
Cheers,

Managed to squeeze some shop time in today… I got the sides and dividers cut, I also routed some dadoes. Finally got to use my new ETS 150/3 and boy it's a dream to handle; it almost makes my ETS 125 seem broken! [big grin]
Shot these with my beater lens!
Cheers,
Eric

The ETS 150 is a work horse of a sander with the ability to go from aggressive sanding to finishing sanding. The ETS 125 is truly a finishing sander, light weight easy to handle and a pleasure to use in the build up of your finished on your projects. It is also a great sander for small drywall projects.

Thank you!
Neil, I used the "thrifty 50" aka "nifty 50", the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. It's a lens I use when I'm goofin' around! I got it years ago when it was sub $90, now they go for $120+ or so. It can still yield some great images if your patient with it, just don't use it when it counts, especially if it's commissioned work!

The Multi-Jetstream technology seams to be evident in the difference between the two sanders. While the 150 is larger, it glides across the work pieces effortlessly. I can simply grab the tail of the sander and "float" across the stock.

VM mick,
I appreciate the warm words and am flattered and honored that you and a few others would consider hanging my work in a place that means so much to us, our shops! I have seriously considered offering downloads and creating an online gallery for FOGgers with interest, to be able to download images (in the very same fashion using our servers and proofing site that our clients use).
At the moment, I haven't really put much effort into doing so as I've been so swamped with commissioned work as it's wedding season! In passing, I'm trying to figure out the logistics nightmare of being able to do so.
Stay tuned, I'm sure it will happen soon! Thanks again!
Cheers,
Eric
