PS I followed the link to your Instagram page and from there to your Facebook entry (my first ever visit to Satan's website ). Not a member of either so not sure I can see as much as I would otherwise be able, but was interested in the fence on your router table build, if you had the time to post a few pictures on here and a bit of detail I for one would find it very interesting. Also thought that brush handle looked absolutely lovely. Looks like you are a very talented chap .

I don't bother much with Facebook myself Terry, most of my stuff on it is old, I prefer Instagram these days as a lot of friends post there & it's so easy to post up photos.
I'll try & dig out the router fence photos, re the brush handle if it's this one
I made it for Jonny D think his username is Bungle on here, now he is a very talented designer maker.

That's the one. I presume you laminated the wood first and then turned the handle?
Seems Bungle is not posting on the site anymore, or at least I have not seen anything from him. Real shame, the things he posted were really good. If you know him maybe you can try and persuade him to post some more things he has been making recently.
Terry.

I was selling some old style systainer tool boxes and had a lump of polystyrene that came with one designed to hold 2 Panasonic drills. Stuck it on for 99p to see if anyone bid on it. It ended on a Sunday afternoon and the winning bid was £80

PS for anyone who missed the mug there is a Festool windscreen scraper up for auction at the moment that can be had for a mere £11.50 at the current level of bidding.

I saw that, only because since clicking the link to the mug EBay have been sending me emails telling me about other Festool auctions "sigh"

Very confused.
Doug, how does the Festool/Protool compare with what was/is generally considered to be the 'best' ..Sens??? -something IIRC ?

Protool isn't a brand I've used Rog though more than likely like Bessy who make clamps for Festool there is a Festool/ Protool tie in, I read somewhere that they also had some sort of tie in with Fein though I don't know how true that is.
My previous drywall screwdriver was a 110v DeWalt which wasn't auto fed but certainly didn't owe me a penny as it lasted me years from when I first started using screws rather than nails more years ago than I care to remember.
The main reason I went for the Festool was as I already had the batteries & charger it made it a very cheap option buying the bare tool, plus working on scaffold with a power tool with a lead like my old DeWalt can be a pain.
Also what I particularly like about the Festool other than the auto feed is it will work on non branded colleted screws, I've been using Screwfix screws which are easily available for me, I'd read previously on forums that some brands could be temperamental when not using matching brand screws.

Doug wrote:Re Festool fever I bought a Festool DWC Duradrive last year when they had an offer on buying a bare tool, as I had a Quadrive I though I could utilise the batteries on the Duradrive.
Last week I finally had the opportunity to put it through its paces on a kitchen remodel, it really is an awesome piece of kit, so much better than the Makita I tried.
Should have bought one years ago, makes boarding ceilings so much easier.
