this is to give an update on at least one aspect of our upcoming BBQ.

I mentioned in another thread that I'd have a Festool rail system and wondered if anyone had a Eurekazone they could bring.

Well,I will definately have one of the Eurekazone systems here at the BBQ. We will be able to compare two rail systems and the slider.

From what I have seen so far, for the "typical" small shop a rail system would increase safety, accuracy, and ease of handling panel products. At this point I'm referring to managing the panels down to a size where you have the option of either continuing with the rail system or going to the table saw. We can also see how they work with solid stock.

When we actually have the chance to use them in various ways we will all have a better feeling for the capabilities and possibilities.

I'm always interested in innovations in the shop and seeing what is possible.
I'll have a few sheets of mdf (it's cheap), probably 1/2" ( it's lighter than 3/4),so we'll have lots of stuff to cut up. I'll also have some veneered ply to see the quality of the cuts.
Should be a very interesting and informative session and everyone that wants to give any of them a try will be able to.

Sounds good, Steve. Be sure copious pictures are taken!!

[Dennis Peacock]

Not too worry Chris.....I'll have my Canon Rebel Digital SLR there to take plenty of pics and will get them posted upon return.

Dennis - We're going to have a real Texas Shootout (digital SLR shootout, that is ). I just "pulled the trigger", or is it "snapped the shutter", on a Nikon D70 (stealth gloat ). It should be here next week...

Get some more wood Steve. I be there too.
As I stated in another post...Enough talk.talk.and more talk.
Have the rules and the tasks ready and I will combine
both systems VS All other traditional tools...and the tablesaw mentality.
See you in Texas.

Looking forward to seeing that, Steve, I'd love to find a decent solution for sheet goods (of course, a real/bigger shop would help!).

Hey when is the BBQ, anyway? I need to mark my calendar. If it's a Saturday, you'll probably get to meet my #1 helper, son Ian, as LOML teaches nursing students on Sat.

[Steve Jenkins]

The BBQ is the weekend of Oct. 23 and 24. The dinner will be on Sat. 23rd. That is also when the demos and most of the people are here. If you want to come by Fri. you might get roped into helping get things straightened up and Sunday there will be more time to play with stuff without as many people around. Steve

.......
See you in Texas.

Looking forward to it Dino. I'll have plenty of stuff to cut. Mostly panel stock but some solid too.
I guess I should get some of that 4x8x2" thick styrofoam. Where do I go to get it?
Anyone have a good circular saw? I'll have to check mine, the last thing I cut with it was a patio's worth of pavers. Reminds me I need to get Chico's WWII back to Sophie. Steve

[Dennis Peacock]

I'll bring my DeWalt skillsaw....it pretty good.

Is that anything like the "bend and snap"? You devil you. :>)
Just saw legally blond for the umpteenth time with a little one. Steve

Hi Steve.
What other tools you got in your shop?
I know you have a sliding table saw.What about jointer-radial arm saw-tapered jigs-Straight line rip jigs-router table-chop saw?
Can you give me a tool list?

You name it...Steve has it. All pro stuff, too. He also knows how to use those tools to create amazing furniture.

'Wish I could be there for this one...but I couldn't get an engagement in the area that week...it's a long walk from those I have in New Jersey during that period of time.

I will try to go there Jim. I like to test the theory of the Dead wood concept and the more tools and more woodworkers the better.
But If I can't make it I will put on my Texas hat and have my NJ Bbq.
Stop over some time.

I have a PC left blade I can bring, but I'll bet someone has a Festool layin' around...
