Festool shop vacuums - a quieter option
gjdale replied to druxey's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I too have a Festool vac that I use not only for all of my Byrnes equipment, but also my full size hand held tools (sander, router etc). I also have the blue tooth unit, which is handy, and I always plug my machines directly into the Festool power outlet so that the vac turns on when the relevant machine turns on and turns off a few seconds after the machine turns off (to clear the line). I also added Festool’s own cyclone attachment, which stacks on top of the base unit and works well, although it does add to the overall size. -
Nice progress Bob. I have sent you a PM about dealing with ME and missing parts. I hope this helps you get it sorted.

Frank, I wonder if it might be time for you to start your own build log, rather than hijacking Andrew’s?
-
I’m no expert, but that layout looks pretty good to me Bob. I agree with the others about not doing all of one side at once, for the reasons already given. An alternative to the chart tape is thin cotton held in place with some diluted white glue.

I somehow missed the start of this log Bob, so am just catching up. Looks like you’ve made excellent progress so far. Model building is a series of challenges and problem solving, and I think this is what makes it so enjoyable - actually working out solutions and implementing them. You’ve done a fine job of solving the problems you’ve encountered to date, so have confidence in your abilities as a modeller. I look forward to following along the rest of this build.

Congratulations on completion of your capstan build Eric - you’ve done a great job on it, with your own unique take on the project too.

….and I thought I was joking…….🥴 So we now have a game of “where’s Wally?”…. I’m afraid my eyes aren’t good enough to find it - I’ll need a hint.

Outstanding Glen - well done! Can’t help but notice the absence of the penguin though….😉🤣
-
Well done on the “big push” Glen. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly with the mast raising.🤞
-
Now you’ve done it! You just know that Glen is gonna do something with that don’t you?

Sorry to hear that Mark. Hope you are able to resolve the vision issues soon. We’ll wait patiently for you in the meantime.

Another interesting little project Tom. I’m pulling up a chair in the front row for this one.

Glad to see you back at this lovely build Bob. Funny, it was only yesterday that I stopped by to see if you'd made any progress - seems that mental telepathy does work after all. 😊

Donington 93, Sorry to hear of your woes with Model Expo customer service. Sadly, this seems to be a common experience. I have sent you a Private Message with the company owner’s direct email address (we don’t post email addresses in the public domain here). It was only when I made direct contact with him that I received any real assistance, and even then it took a second email to him to bring his parts department into line with his promise. He does stand by his promise - he is let down by some very poor attitudes in the parts department, along with what appears to be a lack of appropriate supervision there. I hope you resolve your issue soon.

NRG VIRTUAL WORKSHOP - USING THE TABLE SAW

Watched the video today Kurt - well done on an excellent presentation. Thank you. -
Dave, Looking good - nice "cheat"! Before you go too much further, you should be aware that an error has been discovered in Toni's drawings (see Cathead's log for details). Toni is presently revising the drawings.
