    My Super Single Car Garage

    Thought I would do a little update. I was checking out another thread about lighting since I am not happy with mine at all and I saw some LED's that he was using so I grabbed one off of amazon. I like it a lot, its plenty bright but it is a little to much I think for my low ceilings, maybe...

    Lighting for new shop

    Just got mine tonight and man is it bright! I am thinking about getting the 10w ones and trying them too. I have a small garage and kinda low ceilings (10 foot) and maybe it would be a better solution for my application. I mounted this one on the angle iron that mounts the garage door opener...

    My Super Single Car Garage

    SLOW!!! Here are a few pictures of it as it sits today. We are going through some issues we found with the condo and I am thinking all the baseboard trim and carpet need to come out of the condo as well as all drywall on outside corners at least 8 inches up. If we do the tear out the carpet...

    Yeah good point. I try to remember to take pics but it's a lot of work. And as far as writing posts a second grader could do better than I could.

    That looks an awful lot like a blue merle great dane, except those ears look a bit small. Both my Danes had ears so big they could almost trip on them when they ran. Great idea on the clamp. I get frustrated with the Festool ones all the time.

    Gregor, I found myself in lebanon indiana today buying some systainers off of a guy and he informed me that Festool USA was right down the road. After I got a tour of the place the nice lady asked how I got started in Festool and I placed the blame squarely on your shoulders. Told her about...

    kreg system

    just bought the K5 and am really happy with it. The dust collection is awesome, seriously nothing to sweep up at all. I also like extended arms on both sides if you are doing anything of any sort of length it is handy for stabilizing the piece. also a nice place to keep the parts.

    Is there any chance of reporting him as a missing persons?(I assume he is a legal citizen, not that I care either way) Do you have contact with any of his family? I really hope he is ok, you just dont leave for a long period of time with out your glasses and just leave your dvd on pause.

    Jumped into the Festool world

    Thats what I came from both a worm drive one and a regualr one. biggest difference (not counting the whole track thing) is the ease of blade changes, light weight, adjustable RPM, and the dust control is out of this world. If you are in a small shop the dust extraction alone might be the...
