Wow, an electrified hand plane! thud

I don't like the concept. It diminishes the experience of the hand
plane. It'll try to tilt the plane away from a right angle and the
hose will get in the way as you push it, I'll bet. PASS!

It's a solution for no problem which creates yet another problem.

P.S: Shavings aren't dust, they're Hungarian Paper Towels.

Does the overarm hose holder really exist? Does it work?

I get annoyed with the corrugated hose catching on the work bench while
sanding. I suppose I could make something similar with a mike stand and
some wire, but it's not worth doing if it doesn't work.

Having to constantly clean out the plane gets a little tiring. I'd rather
clean out the plane than change the vacuum bag, though.

A small butane torch near the mouth of the plane would work as well. It'd
simply burn the shaving as it was created and as long as you didn't drop it
or let it get too hot, "perfectly safe!" *g*

Do a search for gorilla sleeve. And yes, it really is a working,

Hi -

No photoshop.... we actually make these AFD tools - and they do work.
The plane is connected to the Festool Dust Extractor, which is
actuated using an RF switch embedded in the plane handle...

It's kinda cool, in a useless way.....

Their tape measure "story stick" AFD tool wasn't a bad idea, and is
still for sale, IIRC. The only reason I didn't buy one was that you can
apparently only mark on it with a mark-a-lot, which means the lines
would be too gross for fine measurements.

I was going to post something yesterday about the famous April fools Lee

It still took a few seconds for me to fully grasp it though. Even though I
knew it was coming. My first thought was, Neander meets Normite. My head

But looking at that video erased any doubt as to the silliness of this
product. I like the line in the ad copy that the Festool dust extractor is
now converted into a shavings extractor.

Lee Valley is a class act. How many other tool companies have a totally
silly and fun tradition like them? Not only do they have good tools, but
they have a sense of humor too. Good people.

Could tell it was a Festool dust extractor because I have one ... just

And it looked kinda naked without it.
