Kev
Thanks for the welcome
Guys at Carba Tec Brisbane particularly the sales manager.....can't speak highly enough of them. They were great to deal with.

I named the order "I hope I still have a missus when she gets the bill" lol

Frank
Thank you for the welcome and I'm sure I will enjoy my new "toys".

I have a small workshop and am OCD about being tidy and organised. Festool is a godsend to me compared to the normal makita, bosch power tools. The dust extraction and storage capabilities was a big draw card.
I have a few small projects planned mainly being Tims MFTC which will be perfect for my small workshop.

From further south.

You will certainly find the FOG helpful as you start to use those new Festools.  [smile]

 

[mike68au]

Welcome... and as Kev said - YAH! another Aussie

Looks like you jumped into the Kool Aid head first!  And yes that organization and tidy factor is damn easy to fall for.

 

[Birdhunter]

Very nice starting collection.

The first things I'd add would be a Domiplate for the Domino and a set of Qwas dogs for the MFT.

 

[Mr_Mod]

Nice setup

BTW: whats your address and the pin number for the alarm system?

 

[kdzito]

WOW!  You definitely went full on.  There is no turning back now.  Congrats on your haul of goodies!

Merry Christmas in March. Nice haul

 

[SoonerFan]

Christmas in March indeed.....likely the nicest collection I have seen after just one purchase. 

Welcome to FOG!

 

[bkharman]

Welcome mate!

Better be careful, someone might catch on that you have Festools because of that lunch bin you have there.

Enjoy!

My son, you have it bad, unfortunately there is no known cure for this green disease that has infected so many people around the globe.

Scientist are working on a cure however much like other diseases they havent come up with a cure yet....

One of the main symptons and most tragic associated with this disease is it attacks your finances it is a financial degenerative disease

Lets hope your bank account doesnt suffer to much

Man I dig that lunch box. Maybe with some stickers I could make mine look like that.

 

[wow]

Welcome to the FOG!

I am jealous - that's a great start - much more robust than mine was. And I, too, dig the lunchbox.

BTW, what is your EXACT address and the hours when you aren't at home?

;D

 

[microworkshopsystems]

Thank you all for the positive comments. Yes I do have a new addiction.
I went into my local store just for a look today and came out with a Systainer MFT Top and a Systainer Toolbox.

Yes I do like the lunch box too  [smile] Got that and a few other things as freebies.

And no my address and alarm pin are not available LOL.
