Hi this is my first post and my first large project using Festools! Basically a bookcase to hold 46 large volumes of music, the complete works of Bach I believe. Made from European Oak which was planed down to 25mm from 30mm sawn stock. The bookcase is 2m long, 500mm high inside and 300mm deep and the 300mm boards were made up from 2 or 3 pieces edge jointed using a Domino. The divisions were butt jointed, again with 8mm dominoes and the ends fitted to the top and bottom with a 5mm stopped housing and 8mm dominoes. The housings and front chamfers were made using a 1400 router, the divisions cut to size using a TS55 and therefore requiring no further work and the whole thing sanded using a Rotex 125 and finished using Surfix. Being retired before I got the Festool bug almost all my tools have been secondhand. My first purchase was an ex demo PS400 jigsaw, not the best introduction to Festool, which was been replaced under warranty by Festool with a new PS420. The whole project took me about 60 hours and the finishing, using Surfix, I found much easier than expected, obviously helped by the Syslite highlighting imperfections. The client was very satisfied, as was I, with the finished result. Now it's back to my other project, the rebuilding of a 1946 MG TC, hopefully three-quarters the way through a two year rebuild. Less use for Festools but the C12 drill has been excellent in the assembly of the ash frame!! Hope the images appear as not showing in 'Preview'
