Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

It looks like the Shopsmith to me. It would be such a pain in the arse for me to set it up for the task at hand that all I could think of would be ways I could avoid using it. :)

I suspect it would be more than one person. What's the plural of Whomever? Whomsever, whomevers? ROFL! Perhaps it's some young man who played with Transformer toys when he was a kid.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
Looks like he's been updating the site. Pricing is on now.

I wish I could afford a shop full of Festool stuff. Those folks have amazing ideas, and terriffic engineering.
Politics is the antithesis of problem solving.

I have to admit, after my first purchase I was hooked. Kinda like Lie-nielsen. However, this Walko is not festool, it just happens to be distributed by festooljunkie.
A dealer who sells festool. I found out about it when I ordered my kapex. I'm sure festool would love to own it.

When new tools come out I think we should have a Knots contest to see who can guess the manufacturer. On second thought that won't work we would always know which were from Festool simply be picking the highest price.

Chuck, they are not cheap tools for sure, but they are excellent quality and design and feature rich. It's like some will pay for Lie-Nielsen when they could buy a stanley.

Looks like a workmate on steroids :-)
It looks like a good tool system for a custom trim carpenter.
Very innovative, but rather pricey, considering the construction. It does remind me of the B&D WorkMate, taken to the next level. It also appears the photos on the Festool-junky site may not be accurate.
