I am throwing a lot of pics at you, but this is what I have done since my first post. I did a small "golf cart" garage add on to the back of a house that consisted of replacing a window with a door from the existing garage to the new one. We had to keep the walls directly below an existing screened in porch above that was built when the house was. It was a very simple garage but the TS 75 saw sure made cutting the siding panels a breeze.

After that, I built my son and daughter a lego table made from hickory. On this project I used the TS 75, Domino, MFT/3 table, RO 125 and MIDI dust extractor. I was amazed at how smooth the TS 75 went through the hickory. I used the domino for the first time ever on this project, and I can see why everyone on this forum is so high on that tool. I added a slight taper to the legs using a homemade jig on a table saw but wanted to know if anyone has used a "professional" taper jig and can make a recommendation on one that is easy to use, accurate and safe?? Also, I rounded over the corners using an 1 1/4" home made jig made from hard board but then saw that woodpecker had a one time release of a set of these with a bunch of radii. Anyone know where a guy could find these?? Of course when I was looking for something to weigh down the lego plates while the epoxy set up, Festool to the rescue.

And then after all the hard work, I put the TS 75 to the ultimate test, cutting some poplar plywood to frame out the inside of a kegerator. Definitely a simple job, but probably the most important. [big grin]

Why the wood? For a place to mount the pressure regulator and temperature regulator?

Look into upgrading to Perlick taps and low profile keg valves as soon as you can. I had tons of problems with co2 leaks from the cheaper stuff. You'll pay for the Perlick stuff pretty quick in not having to get your co2 refilled all the time.
 
The wood is to help support the weight of kegs and co2 on the plastic bottom of the fridge and to give a shelf above beer for small amounts of whatever else we may need in there. Those are perlick faucets and perlick lo boy couplers. I did a lot of reading prior to purchase.
