It's not a big deal. It is just a simple 11 piece kit for a 4 leg step stool. I think the Australian dealers were giving these away with early orders for Domino a couple of years ago. The ones that we built in Germany for the Editor's tour required some cutting of the parts, but this one had everything pre-cut. I believe they are used in the Festool training sessions.

My son learned how to measure, mark, and cut the 20 or so Dominos, and then glue everything up. He's never touched a router before, but I think I'll have him profile the corners with the MFK700. It should be easy enough for him to handle with a small bit. I've never even plugged the MFK700 in yet, so he'll be taking it out for its maiden voyage. He has used the TS55 once or twice, and has a fair amount of time using Kapex, but this is his first time with Domino and with a router.

Rick, It is so great that you are working/teaching you young son how to use and appreciate the use of the same tools you are so familliar with.  When i was 9 years old and tried to sneak peak at my father's craftsmanship, i was alway escorted, either loudly verbal or physicaly, out of his shop. 

Many moons later, my son was fortunate enough to learn how to run the same machinery i enjoyed operating first hand.  He was riding on my tractors (sitting on my lap) nearly as soon as he could walk.  By the time he was only 5 years old, he was able (and very capable) to run my backhoe.  As years progressed, he laerned all I was able to teach him, especially the safety factors, until he was able to purchase his own equipment and start his own business at age of 19.  With the skills he had learned so very young, he was able to purchase his own house at age of 20.  All without my signature.  He is now very prosperous as his "toys" continue to get larger and larger.  My own toys keep getting smaller and smaller, but we are both enjoying all of our toys, no matter what the size.
