Darn.

Went to borrow a demo RO150 from customer service to "test" (I have to refinish a deck this weekend) and they didn't have one...

I had already purchased three packs of discs - so had to buy one...

Already got the "Church Lady" face from my wife....

No sympathy from me, considering I broke down and ordered a low angle jack the other day.

 

[jacko9]

Dang, didn't she understand that you couldn't waste those three boxes of disks?

[wink]

 

[dltflt]

That actually woked for me once but my wife bought 5 boxes of sandpaper for Christmas so I had to get the sander to work with the paper.

I know that look well,

You should of seen her face when I brought home the 850 planer a few days ago. Now Im thinking about how to sneak out a get a jig saw w/o her all seeing eye pinning me...

 

[Stokely]

Don't I know it. Within the span of a few months I've indebted myself to the tune of a Domino, RO 90, Triton CT 26 and today a TS75 plus a MFT. However I can afford it and I have grown to appreciate the system. I've purchased for certain projects but see value and use in future endeavors. Festool ain't no sippin' whiskey, it's keg chugging.

I could only imagine how mine would look at me if I didn't tell her they cost half as much as they really do.  [poke]

 

[woodguy7]

Stokley, you got it bad dude.  There is no hope for you I'm afraid  ;D

Welcome !

 

[Stokely]

No hope. None at all. Psst, I need a router.

You guys should buy Frank Pellow some new Systainers in exchange for some of his vintage ones.  You could walk right into the house and say "oh this old thing? had it for years now"... no problem

Guys, the secret is to build something your wife "really wants" fast!  It's worked for me for the past 47 years [big grin]

For a minute, I thought you were suggesting shoe-shining with the Rotex!

I actually tried this with a polishing pad. Sort of worked!

Hmmm, so the 25th is a bandsaw anniversary. Interesting. Any supporting evidence that the 20th anniversary could be table saw?

50th is certainly lathe ... I'm in now hurry for that  [big grin]

Think I missed our jointer anniversary (15th?) - need to catch up on gifts ... don't want to be seen as an uncaring partner.
