I was an engineer throughout my career and really only became interested in woodworking/furniture making more seriously the past couple of years so I have lots to learn. Festools really solved many issues that I had working in a fairly small garage shop -- dust collection and MFT's being high on that list. I'm also attracted to the relaxing quiet of working with hand tools so I've been buying a few quality planes and things. i have the Leigh dovetail and mortise jigs as well as a Domino which make machine joinery fast and easy but I'm also trying to develop my skills on hand cut dovetails and other hand joinery.
I love quality hand tools and as far as tools with "tails" Festools are hard to beat.

After nearly a month with tennis elbow I've decided the hell with it, I'm going to keep working on the bench anyway. This thing just isn't going away so I may as well be productive. Tha last end cap needs to be done so that looks like a good place to start. Spent all morning clearing the junk out of the shed that accumulated while I was doing 'nothing' (actually, I built a box), amazing how stuff climbs out of drawers and boxes while you are not looking.

Called "old age" I think I remember?
I'm in a similar state............ shoulder which flared up after pressure cleaning outside walls, and has persisted through grouting, plastering, planing, ....everything.
Reckon you've got it right Groggy, it won't go away, and have to just work through it. What I'm trying, anyway
good luckAlastair

Seems to me the solution is obvious, give up tennis.

... or at least play with a straight arm.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Darn painful, I've been out in the yard most of the day and have had to call my son in for a number of tasks. Probably time to go see a Dr.
