John Glassey Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well....finished my first commission. Fifteen birds total. I'm waiting to hear if his wife wants more but I got to attach my business card to the order so maybe I'll get some word of mouth [emoji4] Got a wee one on the way! Daddy needs new tools!!!!! Hey Chris, you say they are BIRDS? And someone paid you? I don't care what Kruton says. They look nice to me!

John Glassey Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 It all starts with the festool master and works out from there I think[emoji880] John, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk[emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 It's kind of like the dark side of the force, there is always a master and an apprentice! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Let's just say that though it received a bad review from an even worse reviewer, I still bought it [emoji4] I think it's probably not a bad unit, said bozos review didn't really use it how you ordinarily would use one of those unnamed tools.

ChrisK Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah, I watched the video and laughed my butt off. I couldn't believe he didn't even finish the review. Complete bs. The guy is a total fraud. Besides, Eric and Dan did a great review of the tool as did Concord Carpenter. Regardless....the minute Dewalt introduces one, the one I bought will more likely be up for sale! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interim though, Red will have to do. Besides with my track record of getting duds I figure I'll at least get my money back if this one craps the bed! But seriously, it looks like a well built tool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After driving home hundreds of framing nails at my friends barn, with an old steel head claw I decided a new framer was in line! And while I was at it! How's about a new claw too? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks bro I appreciate that! My only gripe is both the claw and the hammer are made in China! I thought all of their tools were USA! Still thought, super nice quality! And that framer is crazy light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Good to know. I have really enjoyed my TiBone and I think it is made in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well, like all stories this one is coming to an end. My wife and I put an offer on a property in the lakes region. My little shop is nearly closed and hasn't been in use for a month now but in October a new shop is in the works. The new digs will have room for our future child, a couple of horses and endless work. Our new home God willing is a 1911 Four Square craftsman with an attached carriage house. The second floor of that carriage house will be my new shop! My wife and our bun in the oven are pretty stoked 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 No doubt Jason. I'm meeting with him at 2 today for the estimate. Then I'll be doing painting. The interior hardwood is amazing. Completely redone. All of the walls are pristine and best of all, the hardwood trim and doors have never seen paint. Absolutely amazing shape. I am one blessed dude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
