Thread: festool freaks demo day with German technical demonstrator @ vek tools

A few Pots and a Big Mac plus a play with the Kapex. Sounds like a great day out to me

Vek Tools, great guys to deal with, have purchased various Festool gear from them. The Kapex day should be interesting.

Now there's a first, Festool giving something away

You sure its not an optional extra?

Should be good if I can find the time on Friday.

BTW - Thanks for reserving the Kapex for me.

Oh my, I'm starting to sound like someone else I know.......

Suppose I better not criticise this blatant example of the commercialisation of this forum, least I be sanctioned again!

As you all can see we are virgins to the woodworking forums, i would like to thank you guys for the positive coments & hope there is many more to come.

ps- festool isn't giving away the compound saw , we are from our own stock as a showing of our appreciation for the people whom take the time to come out & make the event a success

we are hopping to make our Festool freaks club a benchmark in the tool industry & set the standard

cheers from Team VEK TOOLS

Aye ... very nice...
But just to say that I already rec'd an email about this in my bigpond email today, addressed to me at [email protected]...
and just wondering HOW you happen to have my email addy as I've never sought or bought anything from you "forum virgins" before...
not seriously complaining, mind you...
just seriously wondering...

Maybe through the email facility of this BB, similar to sending a pm to those in the target area.


Peter.

Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrator and they may be able to help.
and still wondering...

The only people to get emails sent to them from the forums are those who specifically said they wanted to receive them. even then the email is blind so the address cannot be seen by the sender and the receiver is notified that the email is sent from Woodwork Forums email service.

I can assure you that no Admin or Mod will ever give out an email address or any other member information without the express permission from the member.

We have on a number of occasions had people try to contact members and in every case we have taken their contact information and handed it on to the member rather than disclose member information which we regard as highly confidential and keep in the strictest confidence.

We also have delays of a few minutes before a person can send a second and subsequent emails or message which virtually eliminates the ability (of anyone who wants to stay sane) to spam members.

Cheers - Neil

Sounds good VEK - you don't happen to have a branch in Queensland do you?

Thanks for the clarification Neil. Often wondered about the email facility.


Peter.

Nah - I wasn't suggesting that the forum gave out my email...
I'm aware of protocols etc - and I have every faith in the forum and its operators and mods...
I was addressing the question to VEK...
Maybe shouldn't have used a public forum to ask them a question.
Sorry for any upsets caused to you, the forum and mods.

As every good business we certainly have the resources to expand nation wide but unfortunately finding the right workers is the biggest drama to maintain a high level of service, we do service aus wide thru our website if you require anything.....www.vektools.com.au

ps. if you know of any good workers in Queensland or aus get them to get in contact with us...as the saying goes 'good workers are hard to find'

Well ............. did one of those Forum hat-wearers win the drop saw?
