Hi to all on FOG . Just signed on to see what this place has for me . Just bought some green for the first time . Bought a TS 55 REQ , CT MIDI , festool tool box tail , quick clamps and deflector .

I'm a 32 year old contractor from New York . Married with to baby girls a 5 month old and 16 month old . Been in trade since I was 14 helping family around job sites . Have my own business now for 6 years . I drive ford trucks . I love to fish and hunt when not working . Construction is all I know .

Welcome to the FOG!  Glad to see younger guys getting interested early because you will have a LONG time to learn and profit from using the tools.

My day job feeds my green addiction.... Woodworking as a hobby. Trying to get into finish carpentry/cabinet making after I spend years plugging around my house with all sorts of projects (latest was rebuilding my patio roof, I posted some pics about that). I want to start building furniture for fun and maybe money eventually. Long road ahead of me.... Pondering redo of my kitchen but let's get not ahead of ourselves.......
