My version of IPhoto also defaults when it publishes to YouTube that the video will be private.  If you don't notice that and select share with the public it will happen.

I'm sorry, forgot to make it public....

Fixed now.

It's not the lack of burning that impresses me(ok, it does a little)...It's the utter lack of dust!  I can't wait for my CT22, I'm sick of getting a pocket full (and a lung full) of dust everytime I use my ts55.

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing. I know how much dust those cuts make, without a Festool vac I can just imagine the mess.

John, you're going to love the CT 22!

Brice,

It's coming tomorrow (not that I'm counting the hours or anything), then I'm off to Home Depot to get some materials to fabricate a boom.  I just wish I could rig something like they use at car washes where the vacuum hose is attached to a retractable reel when not in use. 

Sorry to get off topic guys.

Yeah, you tend to forget just how nice it is to use a saw and not have dust to deal with.  I wouldn't think of using my TS55 with being hooked up to the CT33.  Actually, that goes for the sanders, routers, jigsaw & Domino also -- it makes woodworking a pleasure.  The pocket hole jig works much better with the vac hooked up also.

Darn straight it does!

Just buy the boom arm set.  I know it is a tough pill to swallow, but once you have it you'll never have to worry about it again.  I thought about making something, then decided that I couldn't build anything that was nearly as nice a quality.  Plus, it comes with a 50mm antistatic hose to attach to the vac and the vac hose.

"Quality remains long after price is forgotten" or something to that effect.

And the pocket hole stepped bit will last longer and be much less prone to breakage!

Wonderful table!  (I especially appreciate it after reading Doug Stowe's book on Rustic Furniture.  Good book, by the way.)
