This is an awesome video, so appreciate you made it , Conturo is exactly what I’m looking for !

[@ModernArtisan]

Thanks I appreciate it!

Looking for MFK 700 videos and came across this one. I enjoyed this video a lot. Good pace and I really like the Father/Son working together. Never seen the Conturo work. I guess only certain people can benefit from this tool as its expensive but its pretty cool to see how it worked.

[@ModernArtisan]

Thanks Rick I really appreciate the feedback

[@afbigfish1]

adding links or part numbers would be nice especially the bits used in the mfk700. I would have liked to seen better shots of edgeband joint. once complete. keep up the good work

[@rezakarimpour5897]

Well done 👏

[@ModernArtisan]

Thanks!

[@Joe_Veno]

Nice job. Thinking about getting the Conturo and not too many videos out there showing them being used. Tops came out nice. Hope you make more videos showing the Conturo in action. 👍😎

[@ModernArtisan]

Joe Veno Thanks for the feedback-I guess there really is someone out there watching these videos 🤣

[@Joe_Veno]

Modern Artisan Haha yea buddy people are watching. I also enjoyed your nursery video. Pretty cool tree and boxes. Also liked how you narrated over that one. Keep at it brother and the subs will come. 👍

@ModernArtisan. I think more people would watch your videos and actually subscribe - if that's what you're hoping for with your channel - if you actually answered some of the questions that are relevant to the video post... like from @TheLeericky11 the type of router bits you used or from @afbigfish1 part numbers would be nice especially the bits used in the mfk700. I would have liked to seen better shots of edgeband joint. or @suparngupta6949 what roller you used... info helps a lot.

[@TheLeericky11]

I just bought a Conturo and it would be nice to know which router bits you used. Could you tell us?

[@marcnastase7796]

Great job! How did you call the small metal piece you run it to clean the edge after the trimming. I would like to buy one. Thanks,

[@ModernArtisan]

Just google “Festool Scraper” and it will come up. Very handy.

[@danewoodcraft2533]

Will the Conturo edge band 1/2 material ? or is 3/4 the smallest ?

[@opis1188]

I got question. How you protect your material from scratch of festool. I work with acrylic and other laminated materials. Scratches is big problem. For now I use some paper tape. 🤔

[@nathapong1962]

How thickness of edge tape that you use with?

[@ROCKY44]

Nice tools. The finished edge looks like there's a gap, or a dark line though?

[@ModernArtisan]

Yeah I think there was a dark hair line (no gap). But I see that same thing with manufactured tops that I've ordered. Thanks for watching!

[@lapseofeternity]

Loved the video! What roller is that?

[@mrowenhorst]

Thanks, it's just a laminate roller from Lowes or something like that

[@michaelsd88]

Do you recommend a certain contact adhesive?

[@ModernArtisan]

Any contact adhesive for laminate is probably fine. I usually just use Weldwood

I also cut with my tracksaw like a 6 year old playing with hotwheels
