This whole "Faster. Easier. Smarter." thing is getting out of control.

So my wife and I are getting ready to go out for a night on the town to celebrate my birthday and my neighbor knocks on the door and then asks if I can cut some doors down.  He just had some carpet installed and now the doors won't operate.  I tell him that we're going out in an hour or so (and I'm quite obviously already dressed to go out).  His reply: he'll be right back with the doors!

So I grab my ole 55 out of my truck, hook it up to my ct22, and set up some horses in the garage.  Set up time, 5 mins tops.  He brings four doors over and I cut them faster than he can deliver them.  Total cut time 3 mins tops....it took longer to set up my tools than it did to cut the darn doors!  And I didn't get a speck of dust on my fancy pants.

So as we're now pulling the car out of the garage, my neighbor chases me down and hands me a card with 100.00 bucks in it.

I really love Festool.

Thanks Tom!

I hope people aren't rolling their eyes at this, but I wasn't telling the story to get the bday wishes.  It was just a great story about how Festools make work so much faster, easier, and smarter!

Yup, if there was ever a tool for impressive speed of set up & use it's the TS 55.  I have 4 doors to cut for my neighbour tomorrow & I know it will take longer to get the doors off than to cut them all.  Gotta love that track say.

Oh, happy birthday  ;)
 
Jon,

There aren't any images - so it didn't happen.  Birthdays are not like that.  They happen but we generally don't ask for images.  [eek]

All the best to you.  Enjoy your special day!

Lend Festools? No Way - take the children instead  [big grin]

Happy Birthday!!!

Awesome story - You're the James Bond of Festool users  [big grin]
 
Owning Festools made your birthday even happier -- who'd of thunk it?  [unsure]  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
 
Happy birthday Jon!  That was nice of you to help your neighbor...while wearing your "fancy pants"!!!
