New Festool Testing Center Mesa, AZ - build out. Lie Nielsen coming this weekend

[anthonyz]

Working all day to install new displays and new work area for the Festool line at Timer Woodworking in Mesa. I have been pushing for a long time and it's finally coming together. I designed the Layout and helped install all the fixtures. Should be in full swing by Friday when Lie Nielsen comes to Timber for their Annual visit and show this Friday and Saturday. JAN 8 & 9th.

If you are in near Mesa AZ, come out for Lie Nielsen this weekend to check out their great hand tools and then check out the New Test center.

Personally, I'd swing the boom arm legs in ... that's an accident waiting to happen in an open space!

Good Idea, Will get on that today. That thing was probably the most difficult assembly of Festool I have done. The pictorially directions are a little hard to get.

Very well done, does Festool have merchandise lay out plans for dealers or is it up to the individual dealer. Brings back memories of build outs that we did when I was with a retail architectural design firm.

I worked on the layout. I don't know if they have any plans. I think it's up to the dealer and the Store on how the displays are filled in. I drew it up in CAD first, I have a background in architectural and Interior design. On one my past lives.

It was very interesting work back then. Amazing how layout and merchandising can effect the bottom line. The firm I worked with would contractually guaranty a percentage increase in sales per square foot. Again very well done, much better then my local dealers.

That's interesting...as much as they try to control every other aspect of their business, I'd have thought that they would have very stringent guidelines as to how their product is displayed.

Nice job BTW...
