That will come in handy!

MaFe, I Hope you use the neat little jig more than you used the Fe$tool VS600.
That’s an expensive tool not to be using.

Hi guys,
I’m not here soo much these days, so a big smile when I see you guys the comments, I know I’m not able to follow up with comments to all of you, life is too busy these days, sorry (but happy life is good).
Almost a thousand views i less than two days, this must be something a lot of people have been looking for, so I’m happy I posted it.
James E McIntyre, Laughs, yes I have to get started using the Festool jig, but I bought it used for 1/4 of the price, so I just bought it because the offer was too good to let go, not because I had a project for it (it will come, I have some drawers I need to make this winter for my allotment house kitchen).
woodshaver Tony C , (I love that name woodshaver Tony). I agree on that! Thanks.
Peteybadboy, yes the box joints are much underrated I agree, I think it’s because there are no product you can buy to make them, it’s as if people do the things they can get a manual for, also why the pocket screws has suddenly become so popular I guess.
Ivan, cool! Yes on deep drawer it will be a lot of sawing, but you can put them double and saw both sides at once, this will save half the time…
Rick Dennington, here in Europe we are not allowed to use and buy dado sets, so we have to do with this or the router. Thanks and a smile.
drewpy, you will be surprised how fast it’s build, so make a big cup of coffee and you will have it made before the coffee is cold. ;-)
pottz, thank you my friend. ;-)
Lew, handy… Fingerly more like it… Smiles thanks. (Sorry for my seriously bad sense of humor).
Brit, yes this one is a no brainer and so easy it’s a must. Smiles.
Thank you for the comments, as always it warms my heart to see there are people and not just views, grateful I am.
Smiles,
Mads

MaFe. At 1/4 of the cost on the VS600 it would have been tempting even to me. They had a price tag of approximately $600.00 US. Fe$tool discontinued it and as far as I know haven’t replaced it as of yet.
Please let us know how the VS600 works on your kitchen draws.
Happy Holidays!

Hi James,
I will make a blog when I get to use the VS and make some drawers. Agree that the asking price is crazy, but I guess if you make drawers as a cabinet maker, it would make sense to buy one… I just got lucky.
Happy holidays.
