Festool 2013 Tool Catalog

let me guess, the print catalog costs $1400?

Nothing like high class tool porn to pass the time. Just don’t let the significant other catch you drooling.

What do you think?
I think that about the only thing missing from the review section of LJ now is a few paragraphs about the weekly Harbor Freight ad from the Sunday newspaper. And I’m betting that whoever steps up to fill that void will never have stepped foot in a Harbor Freight, or read the Sunday newspaper.

Not a tool in the strict sense

In what sense is it a tool? Maybe you can use the pages as shims or wipe your a$$ with it. The way some rave about their tools, maybe it replaces Playboy?

Why is this in the review section? Why not start a thread on the forum?

I have nothing against Festool. They may be fine tools and I may own one of their track saws some day.

-- She asked me, "Who are you going to please with that?" I said, "Me."

Not a tool and not a review.

-- Tom Finnigan - Measures? We don't need no stinking measures! - Hmm, maybe thats why my project pieces don't fit.

nothing, not even festool, let alone a magazine deserves a 5

pretty soon everyone will be a valedictorian

I’m not sure if this is a tool review but I’ve got one under the leg of my belt sander stand to make up for an uneven floor. As a tool it works like a charm. Then again the L.L. Bean catalog is just as good.

-- The smell of wood, coffee in the cup, the wife let's me do my thing, the lake is peaceful.

I don’t have a Festool catalog at the present time, but I have requested that one be sent to me.

I give 5 stars to the feeling that I now have knowing the catalog is on its way to me.

-- I'm selfless because it feels so good!

Discussions go in the forums. Reviews go under reviews. This is not complicated.

-- - The mightiest oak in the forest is just a little nut that held its ground.

How is this considered a tool review?

When I was a child, there was nothing to match the excitement of the arrival of the Montgomery Ward Christmas catalog. I can still remember how it smelled.

For all the ‘tool’ review purists out there, reviews need not be about tools. See for example all the reviews about dvds. Why not review catalogues? I often learn things from them; like the Lee-Valley catalogues.

True. According to the instructions on the review page they can be:
Review – post your personal review of a woodworking tool, course, book, magazine or DVD

See for example all the reviews about dvds.
Yep, see the instructions above.

Why not review catalogues?
Because they aren’t a tool, course, book, magazine or DVD – see the instructions above.

And I can learn a lot about fruit of the loom underwear by reading the label. I’m pretty sure if I tried to do a review of my tighty-whities I’d catch a little flack.

Weeeell it should be woodworking related. So if you do post a review on your tighty-whites make sure they are the ones you used butt burnish your newly finished table top. And for goodness sakes make sure they are clean.

Excellent point. Underwear is probably out, but there’s some fascinating information on the back of the trojan wrappers, and that’s tool related.
