Show Us Your Festool Usage Contest

[PaulMarcel]

Just use your stein before you turn on the camera; helps!

Wish I wasn't so camera shy for this [embarassed]

You can shoot photos and document with text.  You don't have to appear in the images.  You don't have to be in a movie.

We were trying to get as many members as possible to just show us how they use their tools in real life and take into consideration that some would be camera shy or might not have a video camera.  Hey, if you look at any of my videos you will see arms or a bald head, you won't see a face.  I have so much adrenaline when I talk abut Festool stuff that my mind and mouth can't sync and I stutter and say the word "and" in a subconscious time out so that I can re-sync.  All I hope is that at the end of the day viewers can get something substantive out of my stuff and pass by the bald head and the stuttering.  If not, then the information is out there for others to see.

Relax,  you will do well!

Please keep the questions coming, but have fun with this!  It isn't work, it is what you love to do.  Just show us how you do it!  

And keep smiling.

Peter

Lol...your videos are great, Peter.  I too have a lack of hair but I figure I can Bounce light off of it and help lighten the scene... [big grin]

Another note on the entries.  They don't have to be an awesome, incredible new way to use the tool type of thing. Showing  something like basic ROTEX use , how to hold it etc. works just fine for an entry.

And just in case it went unnoticed , there is a sub-board called "Contest Entries" under the "Fun, Games...."  board , Thats where they go.

I would assume Canadian pricing.  If I find out different I will edit and let you know.

We have sort of a similar contest running in Belgium, but theres a winner every month. I already won once, it was 500 Festool euro's! And currently they are also giving away a new tool every week to someone who bought a tool that week. And at the end of the year €10.000 of tools to one winner! I think this year they are giving away at least €30.000 of prizes in Belgium only!

[PaulMarcel]

Where is the Special Board  ???

It's in the back of the guy's pickup who got to the hardwood dealer before you   always my case...

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

Right under the Fun & Games board. It's listed in the green bar as a child board. Although adults can use it (Paul-Marcel's humor is rubbing off, sorry). [tongue]

[Frank Pellow]

You certtainly did hide it well.  [tongue]  Now that I have found it (with help), I should post almost anything there and have a good chance of winning due to the obscurity of the board.

Who even knew there were such things as child boards  ???

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

Sorry about that, Frank. I updated Peter's original post with the contest rules with links.  [wink]

 

[peter halle]

Before now the only use for the Child Board was this:  [dead horse] [dead horse] [dead horse]

Shane repurposed it for the contest.  [poke] [poke]

Thanks Shane, I forgot.

Ten pics with captions should get you at least 50 words.  [thumbs up]

I posted this in another thread, but storage ideas for a small shop might be an idea for showing Festools in action.
