Holy $h!!t. If that's for real, it's the coolest thing ever! How many dominoes do you figure it took?

 

[nickao]

It's for real . Maybe a million!

I haven't read through the entire site but I would not be surprised if Festool were the tools of choice.

Now if this guy can do this I know I can make a systainer work for the clearvue cyclone!

...I would not be surprised if Festool were the tools of choice.

Unlikely, given the apparent Delta/Porter-Cable sponsorship.

Yes Ned you are correct. But what does he use when the cameras aren't around!

That is one super cool car but I think he mentions Porter-Cable and Delta about every other sentence.  ??? The car would obviously be better made with Festool and as suggested may actually be used when the cameras are off.  That would truly be funny. 8) I would love to drive that puppy when he is finished and MIGHT even let him "borrow" one of my Festool tools.  ;D Fred

Do you think he'll use a tung oil finish?  :

Hi,

  I hope he is accounting for wood movement.    " I can't come in to work today, my car is warped!"

Not to mention that nice charcoal smell coming from somewhere near the exhaust...
