well, my nickname is Oak
my name is Philippe
and I am a Festool addict!

I have just ordered "a lot" of 'Festools' that I am still waiting... and I am broke
Now, I have to justify this tooling orgy!

I love DIY... I have been doing a lot of stuff in my house for 6 years now : masonry, electricity, plumbing...!

Now I am heading to build cabinets for my house and maybe for friends...
But most of all... woodworking allow me to get cool tools ; Fescool tools

I started with a T15+3 in october 2008 and love it. I recently get an MFT/3 and some accessories.

I live near Toulouse in France and my day job is to provide technical support on testing software.

The small parcel on the top left is does not contain any Festool.
But the three others....

Fancy dust extractor! We don't have that yet in NA.

For once, we have something you don't !

For instance, the 4th package I got today is the remaining of a previous order I placed in England.
The only good parallel clamps I could find are some Bessey's in England. I can find some in France but they are overpriced!

I don't even mentioned my ongoing research for a cyclone dust extractor at a normal price.

The Besseys and some transfer balls :

Phillipe

That is a super way to join the forum, welcome! And I can see that you're going to drive the NAINA guys crazy.

Jay

Hmmm... may I ask what means NAINA ?
google replies with picture of Indian/Asian woman that does not fit with "NAINA guys"

"NAINA" was invented - I think - by our very own Fred West. It means "Not Available In North America". The bane of our Festoolian existence...
