Don't know that for sure, but I think you are right about some tracks
working with other saws. Could be a woodworking myth/legend though,
as I don't know anyone that has interchanged their use.
I have a DeWalt right angle attachment, for the DeWalt tracks, that fits
my Festool Track. I would assume the other parts interchange, maybe not.
The one on the left, cherry and white oak.

The cab farthest left with the light valance is existing, no? Will
the new match the old, or are you going for different/complimentary
styles?
Yes the forward left "desk" does exist now, leaning on it right now.
:!) It is currently on the west wall facing east. I am going to clock
it 90 degrees to the south wall facing north. The new cabinets will be
on the north wall and face south and or the desk.
Same wood, same basic style.
Here, but they will actually face each other on opposite sides of the
room. I thought that it was going to be overwhelming but you will not
actually see it from the entry hall. You will only see the desk from
the hall but when you walk into the office and turn around to
exit, surprise!

BTW, did you ever find the library/sliding ladder hardware you
were looking for? I remember a lot of ideas flying around, but no
final decisions.
Yes! I found plenty but a friggen ladder and the hardware will
cost as much as the file cabinet/shelving unit.
Sooooo. It think I am going to do something like this.

I remember joining the hunt for the hardware and it was indeed nasty
as far as pricing went. I remember that photo... does the ladder
simply lean on the rail up top or does it hook in some way?
That ladder is in a tourist shop in Rock Port. It only leans against
the bar but it would be easy enough to have it hook. I will probably
simply pick it up and move it to where I want it.
Either way, having a simple ladder will be relative inexpensive so if I
don't like it I can probably retro fit it with hardware.
IIRC hardware is about $1,200. I might be able to forgo the top steel
rails and fancy roller hooks at the top rails and just get the wheel set
up. THAT would be a lot less expensive.
Thanks for the mention of the shears again. If I ever do siding again
I'll build it into the price. ;~) I replaced most of the Masonite
fiber board that came on our first home and I think Bryan had the
balance replaced when he had the roof replaced. Sections above the
short roof sections in the front and back of the house. I used a
carbide tooth blade to cut that. About 12 years ago I built a store
room and use Hardi and used the diamond blade on that job, and there was
duuuuuust. ;~)
He had some facia replaced and learned that the life time aluminum roof,
that Kim and I had installed 20+ years ago, was leaking. And of course
Alcoa no longer stood behind that product. It looked like cedar
shingles and could not be repaired.
Insurance paid to replace the whole thing and they paid him 5 times more
than I paid to have it installed. Good investment! He ended up getting
a 50 year parts and labor GAF composition shingle roof for 1/4 of what
the insurance company paid him......
