It not what you are thinking.

This is a pet duck.

It has a name fer crissakes.

So just stop that silly thinking.

Just to clarify, the duck is NOT trained to test the brake on the SawStop?

I knew we were going there. I knew it.

No shes not that kinda duck.

She is very considerate.

not everybody can afford power tools...

Ha, it's good to see a hand tools forum here, but I couldn't help but laugh when I read that comment on this website.  [big grin]

I can't wait to see Festool's take on dust-free chiseling and hand planing.  How many chisels with Festool squeeze into a systainer--or will there just be a single metric chisel with adjustable width and/or a bunch of attachments?  Here's hoping for an early April announcement!  [wink]

What can I say

I've nothing to Adze

Seriously I'm going to upgrade my old hand tools next year

Set of chisels a couple of hand saws and a block plane and a smoother

I've told myself the kapex will be my only festool purchase next year (accessorys don't count)

I recently sold a set of blue Marples chisels and treated myself to a set of Lie Nielsen beveled edge chisels, LN honing guide, 10000 grit Ohishi stone, and oh yeah a No. 7 LN jointer. The money I got from the blue chisels only paid for the shipping! I get carried away sometimes and after honing a razor edge on them and polishing the backs so I can comb whats left of my hair in the reflection  I proceeded to polish the sides and top. OCD I know! But they are sure pretty. Got a set of Marples mortise chisels to sell to pay the shipping on my next order!    [big grin]
