You know you are a Festool Junkie when you find you are still reading this thread.

And what page is this already?

Good Afternoon FOG!!!

This is a reminder that Phase 1 of the "You Know You Are A Festool Junkie When:" Contest is winding down!  On September 30th at 12:01 AM the "entry" part of the contest will close.  The Top 10 will then be chosen by the Junkie Team and posted in a Poll for the entire FOG to vote on the top 3 to determine the respective winners.  This is the last hours of the contest so get your entries in.

Thus far the contest has been extremely entertaining.  The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and it has been a blast reading all the posts.  The "ladies of FestoolJunkie" are extremely surprised by the enthusiasm exhibited by the FOG.  There are several comments that talk of getting the wives involved (buying in) to the Festool craze; my wife's comment was, "Dude, that is so you!!!"

Thus far, there have been over 1200 reads on the post, and over 100 posts from 24 members.  Thank you all for your support.  Comments have ranged from naming children things like Rotex; learning German to better understand the manuls; the things we go through to obtain Festool products.  Very amusing indeed!

... I look up from my PC and see my "other" tools, sporting dabs of specially mixed bright green paint and plug-it connections, and realize the Junkie thread I have been reading was all about ...

Would that overnight bag be for for you to spend the night in, or your Fesgear?

...you use a Maxi Systainer as an overnight bag.

    You know....  thats not a bad idea.  A sortainer for the little stuff, and however many / size systainers for the rest. Neatly stacked folded clothes in a systainer? Not bad.

-when you still re-read your woodworking tips and techniques books every month, but now you put a little pencil check mark next to every jig you'll never have to build...

-when the word NAINA actually means something to you.

 

[Eli]

And you giggle every time you say it, because you aren't INA!

 

[Eli]

when you do something wrong now, the kids take after their Mother, and call it a "Fastake", which stands for Frequent Accidental Shopping Trip by misTAKE. To you it just means you're taking tools faster.

When you named the kids "Brilliant, Rubin, Titan, Saphir, Vlies, & Platin" but suddenly realize your going to have to get out the old Rotex to polish the Misses bottom to add "Cristal" to complete the set
