A couple of websites that may be of interest

Hi All

Thought I would throw a link to the Festtol section of woodshopdemos. If you have been around here for a while I am sure you would have already seen this site as there have been links to other sections of the site http://woodshopdemos.com/men-fes.htm (http://woodshopdemos.com/men-fes.htm)

most of it is pretty standard especially if you have been around the traps for long enough but I`m still fairly new to Festool and especially liked a couple of the fixes he has come up with..

such as stopping the angle guide from slipping http://woodshopdemos.com/fes-au-1.htm (http://woodshopdemos.com/fes-au-1.htm)

and the MDF straight edge/clamp http://www.woodshopdemos.com/fes-31.htm

As I said nothing spectacular but worth a trawl through his projects to see how someone else has done things and to avoid making somebody else's mistakes.. I find I'm capable enough of making my own why bother duplicating anothers..:p


another site I have happened across is http://www.festoolusa.com/woodworking.aspx (http://www.festoolusa.com/woodworking.aspx) that also has some helpful stuff on it.. infact that's where i found woodshopdemo.

hope this will be of some interest to someone

Another page I like on John Lucas's site, Workshop Demos, is Bob Marino's demonstration of preparing two long boards for jointing using the Festool TS-55 plunge cut saw and guide rail - http://woodshopdemos.com/fes-53.htm

Hi all,

O.K Anthony, I'm impressed. I'm currently thinking of buying a jointer, but if you've seen my 'shop, (which is already a Tardis)... The other thing is that since I often use 240-290mm boards, I would need a 300mm jointer bed, which usually entails 3 phase power or a dedicated 15A plug. So what can you do for me on a plunge saw??? as if I didn't really know.

One other thing, the off cuts could possibly be used as "species specific" dominos! But you didn't want to hear that.

Regards,

Rob.

:eek:

Well you're not freaking me out that much, I like the shop made, species specific domino ideas. Displaying the domino's as a feature of the workpiece gives the DOMINO machine and it's owner even more strings to their bows.

I have not yet tried Bob's board jointing technique as yet, I would like to. I might take you up on the visit to your workshop to see your Leigh FMT, and we could try Bob's technique as well if I bring a TS-55 and guide rails. Post me an email to discuss further if you wish.
