You know you are a Festool junkie when

You talk your family into going on holiday to Wendlingen in Germany.

"oh look darling thats the Festool factory I never knew that was here"  ;D ;D ;D

But you enter anyway, even though you'd much rather have an LS130 or an RTS or DTS 400 and an ETS125 would just mean stocking another size paper for orbital sanders, because you look it up because you feel you should know.

Hi,

Hi,

          ........ The phrase "let the chips fall where they may." No longer has any meaning for you.

....you look forward to the day when "Recent Posts" has more entries about tools than contests.

Timmy/Trevor, no mean-spirit intended here  -- the entries are funny -- but I am a tool junkie!

 

[The Dude]

Matthew, is there something we could do about that?  Without loosing interest in the thread?

Aaaarrrggghhh...I don't want to start a controversy here.  I regret posting it.  I considered modifying to "void" but then context of following post lost.  I did think it, but I should have followed Jim Becker's sage advice of "Think twice...write once..."  Sorry!

 

[The Dude]

Jim, no harm, no foul my friend.  No worries at all!  Timmy

back to business...

-when the quality of your work finally catches up to your standards

 

[Llap Goch]

back to business indeed Sir.

.......when you look out of your window at Systainer Mountain and shout

"There's tools in them thar Hills!"

 

[Eli]

when you'll endure 40 people a day saying "g'day" to you, because it means you get to drive home on the wrong side of the road with a Kapex and belt sander....

 

[Jim McFarland]

Because Timmy generously forgave my earlier faux pas:

....when you still record This Old House but fast forward through all but the Tom Silva shots.

when your Festool dealer knows your kid's names.

when you spend more time showing friends and relatives your Festools than the things you made with them.

Poto

 

[poto]

when your eight-year-old daughter gets as excited by the new Festool catalogue as you do!

[poto]

you tell all your friends how wonderful your Festools are, but you refuse to lend them.

-when people ask you what you're building, you tell them. By the time you finish telling them how, they're waiting for the pitch to sell them some tools (it doesn't help that I've been wearing my Festool vest pretty often)

 

[Eli]

-when your collection is no longer referred to by number of Fes-tools, rather by number of Festacks (cueing up for a third Roller Boy)
