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.

But it's kinda ugly on a nice hand plane.

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,

gorilla sleeve on the Festool Owners Group.

The plane is connected to the Festool Dust Extractor, which is

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.

That's my favorite April Fool's joke so far. I like the irony.

Would a fine-point sharpie work? They make some that are about as fine as
an ink pen (but they don't always seem to work well.)

I was going to post something yesterday about the famous April fools Lee
Valley offering. But I had to work late. I was going to speculate on what
would be offered.

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
hurts.

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
couldn't make out the Festool name, in its usual place, on this monitor.

And it looked kinda naked without it.
