That's an awesome piece Chet!!

That appears to be a pretty good deal for lightly used tools congrats!! Other than the price I cannot recall any negatives thoughts on my Festool items...well there was one sander I actually wasn't fond of and sold ...but considering how much I now own pretty much just price and you definitely hit a score there 🙂

yep!

I like @Chet use my TS55 to primarily knock down sheet goods and the only thing I would change is to go cordless if I were to do it over again.

Nice!!

That was my thought as well 🙂

Kev for what its worth I saw woodturningz.com had 4 pack of ornament blanks at a pretty good discount to Craft Supplies.

I have forced air furnace heat/ Air conditioning in my shop becuase mini splits weren't a thing when I built my shop but I have always thought if my unit craps out I would look at them for both space and cost considerations. Keep me posted we definitely get cold here -1 is the high for the next few days 🙂

Looks great!! I appreciate the mini split info as well I had heard they wouldn't work well in markets that cold good to know they have either improved or what I had read was not accurate.

Picked up the blanks and the parts from Craft Supplies USA ...but I think I would look elsewhere for the blanks they were quite a bit bigger then required and I ended up cutting about 1/4" of two sides of each blank before turning.

Pretty straight forward using a pen mandrel well except for the huge mess pink shavings everywhere LOL

Great looking lathe space Kev!!

Welcome!!

Happy New Year all!!

Happy holidays all wishing nothing but the best for you and your family's!!
