wow nice one.
This will definitely require pics!
Did you buy new or second hand, how big is it?

I bought one of these a few days ago which has arrived :

and donated it to Eric the Viking as he said he wanted one ("lusted after" was his exact words), who has already started making plans for how to use it..... It does look like a quality bit of kit.

Does 'what tool did you make today' count ?
I bought some 6mm pine dowel but it was oval and oversize, I drilled a 6mm hole in a piece of steel to make a dowel plate and 'extruded' the offending item through it, spot on.

I just bought a woodpeckers mft/3 square.. have to wait for it to come from the USA.

Magnetic Chuck for recently acquired Grinder...

It's a tad big, with 4" more length than travel on the bed of the Grinder, but I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it.

An Axminster Azebiki. Might have to chop out some floorboards soon.

Soon as you get it cover in saw dust, she will never even know :mrgreen:

Yes, as soon as it's dirty you're in with a chance. I knew a guy who owned nine black motorbikes (in different places) and his missus thought he had one.
I haven't the luxury of trying that, though. Swmbo's my bank manager.

Doing my level best to not run over the road to Cromwell and Pro Trade in Derby :lol:
I dropped my expenses in for the past 6 weeks and given it was mostly mileage, I reckon there is a slim chance I could get a Domino for no reason :lol:
Might settle with an Incra 12" pro T measure...

Festool CTL Midi vacuum with the accessories kit - been wanting one of these for a long time and finally bit the bullet.
Even SWMBO thinks it's a good idea - health reasons and all that...

a big first aid kit.. saves rushing out to get steristrips from the nurse!

 

[Zeddedhed]

Nothing special - a springbow compass and pair of dividers (Faithfull I think).

I got a proper bollocking for borrowing my daughters from her school geometry set and getting Cascamite all over them!!

The tracksaw arrived today. I wasn't home for delivery but my SWMBO was, although she didn't open the package. I got home around 7pm and she was in the kitchen when I opened the box.

Her exact words when I opened it. Nobody will believe this but scouts honour it's true:

"Ohhhhhh, Festool, thats awesome love".

She's a keeper, no?

PS. She's had a go with the rotex, vac etc before and was impressed, so she's familiar with the brand.

Hello Jmac80
I live in France and unfortunately the offer you speak of doesn't seem to exist here... worse luck for me but never mind.
Thanks for the tip anyway
