We all read and see larger projects and I certainly feel that too many people feel that bigger projects are better. I don't buy that.  So the question is:  What is the smallest project you used your Festools to complete.  Postings with images win extra credit.

No pictures so it didn't happen  [big grin]

  It was a picture frame -- TS55, Domino, Sanders.

Smallest project I can think of is using my T15 to drill 1mm holes in a small circuit board that controlled the lighting in a 1/24 scale model car. Sorry, no pics.
 
My chess board, out of offcuts from other jobs.
TS55 and OF2200 with the CMS table, Domino and Rotex125 all with CTMini.
Woods are Maple and American Black Walnut. Finish is Liberon Finishing Oil but needs cutting back and re-doing due to embedded dust.

Just have to carve the chess pieces now.

Might have to amend that and say my T15 to make dowels with the Veritas dowel maker while my clients son told his young son that I was making Harry Potter wands.  ;D I gave him one to take home, the smile was priceless.  [big grin]

These two coasters made of Bubinga and measuring 10 centimetres in diameter are probably the smallest:

I sanded and polished them up to 4000 grit, then applied paste wax and buffed them:

I drove a wood screw in a drawer runner with my trusty centrtec screwdriver once...
 
I found something smaller that qualifies.  Here is photo of me sanding a shutter:

Too funny. My most recent project was for a very demanding customer... My 5 year old daughter!

"Pops, Lora needs a new bed to sleep in". (Lora is her American Girl doll)

It was a fun build actually...  All dominos, sanded and wood ripped and crosscut with the 75.

Cheers. Bryan.
 
I used the ETS-125 to put a polish on sets of Tangram Puzzle pieces. (Sorry for my error. These are not Tangram pieces.  The fixture was also used for Tangram pieces.) The square shown here is a little over 5 inches on a side. The smallest piece is a right triangle with base and height of 1.75 inch. These pieces are about 1/4 inch thick. Other sets are as thin as 5/32 inch. The makeshift frame shown holds the small pieces so that a set of them can be polished all in one go.

Smallest is a dog bowl stand for my daughter.  This was the first time I'd used my track saw to cut plywood for a box.  I could not believe the accuracy. I then cut thin hardwood-veneered MDF to face the box on four sides.  Bottom is open, top is tile.

Made about 40 sets of coasters out of scraps for family christmas presents. A first and last time for that. My ets got its first try at a marathon and did really well.  Yes, I used surfix heavy duty oil on these. I love that stuff!

Also, the smallest hardwood floor I have ever done. For my nieces doll house. Sorry, no t/g on these. Oak scraps. SO tedious. After 3 floors of this I was spent.  I was extremely grateful for my rotex I must say. Surfix here too!
