    Gloataholic

    Hi my name is Per,
    I am a toolaholic.
    I have suffered endlessly
    in the throes of tool envy.
    I understand the first step
    is admiting you have a problem.
    I write this with a shakey hand
    as I have just read Mr. Sansone's
    latest shop update.
    For you edification I present
    todays manifestation of my disease.



    Thanks for sharing
    Per

    Nice haul (even if it is a thousand pounds lighter than some of the other things posted around here lately ).
    My favorite router.

    hmmmmmm

    Mr Swenson

    Am I to blame for all of this! Honestly I do have some small light weight tools. I just did not want to bore you all with the piddley stuff. I am feeling that I better show you all some of my work. Even my wife asked me if I had actually cut a board today or just what was I doing out there in the shop all day.

    Seriously, nice spray rig and festool. Congratualtions

    At least you have something nice to show for your sickness. I ask my wife "fast women and booze"? or "tools". Tools wins every time.

    Hi Per, I see you got the Fugi 4Q. Weren't you looking at a conversion gun that you could use with an air compressor.
    Are you going to shoot latex with the Fugi.
    take care,
    John

    Latex, Nah

    John,
    In the intrest of profit and man hours,
    (I pay myself) I needed a better way.
    So I bought the fuji to spray Target coatings
    line of products.(waterborne) I needed transportability
    quality and above all Quiet.
    This one fit the criteria.
    The only latex around here is the gloves we wear.

    Per...Congrats!......Now about your sickness......You and the rest of us are hopeless! There is no known cure. The only chance we have is to buy so many toys...er....tools that you become totally saturated with the process and loose the desire as a result. Of course.........bankruptcy can probably slow it down if not cure it! Good Luck!
    Ken

    So much to learn, so little time.....

    Glad to see you went with the Fuji - let me know how you get on with it.

    I am dithering on the Festool router at the moment so am interested to hear your comments on that as well.

    Congrats.

    Please don't dither!

    Ian,
    I have come to the conclusion that lifes too short.
    I have said this before, gonna say it again.
    For years, back when they called themselves Festo,
    I secretly coveted these tools but publicly
    scoffed
    at the notion of paying top dollar for a yuppy
    imported tool.
    Not only was I incorrect in my assumption,
    it made me poorer as a result.
    (Festool dust collection saves me 2.5 man hrs a week)
    About this router. I believe the 1400 is the best router
    on the planet in this class. Period.
    You will do youself a injustice if you dither any longer.
