Hello from Kansas!
After reading this forum for months I thought it was time to join, introduce myself and say thanks. I have greatly enjoyed reading your posts and learning from your varied experience.
My name is Rod. I do complete custom car interiors in show cars, street rods, muscle cars and pro touring cars. Usually, the customer brings an empty vehicle to my shop and everything gets built from scratch. Fit and finish are the rule here. A top priority in every job. I have been doing upholstery work since 1985. Learning is a life-long achievement goal. I believe when you think you know everything there is to know, you know nothing at all.
I am a tool junkie. Wanting the best is a constant. I am changing the shop over to Festool. Last year I made a significant purchase and this year my list is even longer. So far I have a CT-36, TS-55, couple of guide rails, OF1400, MFK-700, RO-90, RO-150, PSB-300, MFT/3 and assorted sustainers.
I am thrilled with the accuracy of my new tools. I should have been here years ago. My wife liked Festools long before I saw the need. However, now we are preparing to take our business mobile and the lighter weights and compact sizes make sense. I plan to have a full Festool shop in a trailer. I couldn't do that any other way. We are selling our house, moving into a Prevost bus full time and looking for adventure. Our customers are excited to have us come to them and we will finally get to travel.
We are in the process of remodeling our house to get it ready to sell. I will be doing lots of trim work and building new kitchen cabinets. Probably will have a few questions as I go. And if any of you have any upholstery related questions I will do my best to help.
