First timer here...

As I have just recently started my black & green slide (Domino plus CT22 due to arrive Friday), my shop doesn't have any Festool in it.  Many years from now when I wonder how I ever managed, I can look back to the video I did for the Mark S. (the wood whisperer) contest at:

as documentation before my conversion.

Carl,
Now if he were a member of the Festool Owners Group, and posted here, he would be a candidate for the contest!

Everyone,
Due to lack of interest, I'm closing this competition.

It seemed like a good idea, and I'm rather surprised by the response.

In order to learn from this, and have more successful contests in the future, I would like to hear members' responses.

Thank you,
Matthew

Bill,

If the prize goes to the messiest and least organized, according to my wife, I'd surely win.  Some tools in the garage shop, many others at the complete opposite end of the house garage - in the basement, in two different rooms.  Wood is stored in a "lean to" structure attached to the foundation of the garage below and in my basement below my living room.  But I get a lot of exercise rounding up what I need for any project!

OK, i know the contest is closed-

bill-e, any chance of getting some close-ups of the festool storage that you have in this pic:

I assume that those are sliding shelves that they are on, what kind of slides did you use, and are they fixed in place or adjustable?
thanks!
