Going To Camp


I had some cool news today.

I got invited to a first run, end-user training camp at Festool Usa headquarters in Lebanon, In.

They are wanting to offer training classes for end-users.
Festool sent out an alert at the forum they run.

I filled out the survey/application and was informed tonight that I got one of the 10 spots they were offering.

So now, I get to play with their tools in their own shop.

Hopefully I will get the chance to use the full line of tools and learn some of the in's and out's of their system.

Cool Beans! It must be a rewarding experience to get offered to test drive tools you like and get/give feedback possibly seeing features you helped implement!

Re: Going To Camp


No, I just dont care for Indy, everytime I go there I end up lost and in the ghetto. When you see a place called Wayne's BBQ and Tire Repair, thats where I usually get lost, by the way, the rib tips are excellent and you get free valve stems with a tire purchase.
