Hello,
My name is Shane and I'm new a Festool-aholic. This is my first post so a little about me and what I do. I am blessed to be able to make a living working wood. We mostly do cabinetry but some furniture as well. My shop is in a completely renovated 80 year old barn on our property in Northeast Tennessee. It's a good fit as we do a lot of old school reproduction pieces. Heck, my jointer is over 100 years old so an old barn, at least on the outside, seems like a fit setting.
My wonderful wife bought me a Domino and the acc kit as two early Christmas gifts and, little did she know, she has created a monster. I've lusted after the Domino since the first day I saw one but would never pull the trigger due to price. After actually getting my hands on one and using it in my shop for a few days, I wish I had bought it years ago. In the past, we mortised with a square chisel morticer and a made tenons with a dado stack on a radial arm saw. Both excellent machines and I have nothing at all bad to say about either but this Domino will save enough man hours to pay for itself in a matter of months. The build quality impressed me to such an extent, I ordered a TS 75 EQ yesterday! My tracksaw wont be here for a few more days and I've already been looking at green routers (anyone want to buy a dozen or so Porter-Cable 690's?) to run in the tracks! I really need the BIG Domino to go with my 500...and our Dynabrades have a lot of hours on them, maybe a couple RO 150's...A CT48 with a boom arm sure would keep the shop a lot cleaner...and I have to get at least a couple MFT3's to set it all up....
Wow...I need help...
