ChrisK Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't worry Nicholas, it's well spent. I've found if you spend good hard earned money on good tools it's worth it. And I really wanted to go too so I could comment on it. Sorry guys, no can do. I got an email today and was like "crap...Going to Florida :(" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm thinking about going. I registered looked in to a airline ticket $120.00 round trip so if I leave here 4:15am I can be back home by 9:30/10pm not bad for a day of tool info and fun.

Krane Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I bet that the Festool connect is pretty informative. Hopefully Regopit gets to go and can give us an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Maybe they will have some sweet deals. I think it would be cool to go if I was more into woodworking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Man I am really envious Regopit.I hope you have fun and get some cool swag! I am going down to Florida on the 17th to visit my parents so unfortunately can't go. I think Norm Abrams will be there so if for anything else it should be pretty cool. I'm already scouting my next tool and am looking at the Domino. I can't see getting a new router, I've got a PC and my Milwaukee and love them both but the demos they are advertising sound pretty sweet. All in all my investments so far with Festool has been phenomenal. I can't get over how well the dust collection is. It blows my mind away and the quality is unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Got a email the other day and this should be a good time Hello Carroll, You are receiving this e-mail because you have responded to our tool research survey and are planning on attending Festool Connect. You indicated that you are available the afternoon of Thursday, March 20th to participate. You will miss part of Festool Connect to participate in this research, but you will still receive the freebies we are giving out that day. The research we are conducting is for mobile tablesaw solutions. We’ll present a short presentation and solicit your feedback. The meeting for this research is in Room 554B, which is adjacent to the Festool Connect event. We’ll escort you to the room for the research. Thanks again for participating in this project to help shape the future of Festool products. See you Thursday!

DR99 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 That is one thing Festool didn't sell in the states yet was a table saw. Regopit could shape a tool for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Well I made it here nice flight only 35 people on the plane. I think that the cab ride to and from the airport is going to cost me more then my flight here. Going to go check in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
