I about completely

Youtube.* I like ABOM79 and David Richards Old Steam Powered Machine
Shop, but watch and subscribe to a few others machinist shows as
well.

Check out mtmwood on Youtube. He doesn't do many videos now,
however, he
went from a garage operation to a production plant doing end grain
cutting
boards. I especially like this one.

Yes, I believe I watched that one before.* Very nice cutting board. Not
my style of shop though, too clean, too, neat, too many Festering
tools.
(Through that in for Leon:-))

Thank you Jack. LOL.* I am familiar with this guy too.* I never noticed
the Festool till now though.* I was more impressed with his large
stationary equipment.

Jack is just jealous - Festool envy.

Jack doesn't need any festering tools to get his work done, particularly
now with his dramatic decrease in work flow.* Might buy the festering
Domino if in an active shop, even though it's super over priced. More
likely would spend the money on a nice drum sander.* The $600 vacuum
though would be an embarrassment to own if everyone knew what it costs.

FWIW Festool offers, if you sign up for the e-mail's offers, refurbished
tools. I probably get an average of 5 offers per day. The small
Domino, like I have, typically goes for $700. Less than what I paid new
10+ years ago. Just saying.



If Jack was going to waste money on any tools it would likely be on a TS
with a sliding table, I think that would be nice.* Also would like a
larger jointer with segmented, spiral cutter head.* Too old to justify
any of that stuff however. Fortunately, Jack has about every tool he
needs to build cabinets, tables, chairs, clocks, lamps, bird feeders,
and whirligigs. Been there, done all that, and no longer in the mood.

I have looked closely at sliding tables form my saw, SawStop even offers
one but like most they tend to make the saw less mobile. I move my TS
several times a day. soooooo the Dubby jigs get me through when I need
that type set up.

For me having a jointer, I did have one for years that I tied the dog
leash to, is probably like you buying a Domino. A cool tool but I
seldom buy rough cut lumber anymore, for that matter I seldom buy
anything but S4S. My time is more valuable than the small amount of
savings buying wood that has to be sized. Plus, I extensively use an
optimizing program that lets me tell what and how much material to buy.
That program imports from Skecthup so it is pretty darn accurate.




Whirligigs are fun though if you are old and done with large projects.

I have got to get into building smaller stuff.


Sometimes I just go in my shop, sit there with a coffee and think, man
this might be the worlds greatest shop.* Jealous? Not hardly.

I do the same but think, this stuff, that began as a hobby, has paid for
itself many times over. If only my wife's stuff had only cost what I
have spent. 12 months ago she added a $12K sewing machine to her
collection.
