Ben Riddering is a custom furniture designer and builder using mostly reclaimed materials, www.benridderin.... In this video, Ben describes how his passion and ideals for fine woodworking parallels those of Festool for power tools made to a higher standard.
At first, Ben was concerned that the price of Festool was high, but quickly realized after using his first Festool, the TS Tracksaw, that the quality and versatility offered by Festool was uncompromising. He found that what Festool does with power tools is much like what he does as a producer of furniture. He builds furniture that's unique and made with high quality; choosing to work for those clients that prefer quality, rather than something that's mass produced.
With Festool, Ben is able to do things in his small shop without the use of large stationary equipment. He learned that a single Festool can replace multiple conventional power tools, allowing him to take the tool to the work rather than the materials to the tool. To quote Ben, he said, "If you show me a tool that performs well, saves time and takes up less space, now you've got my attention".

I have most and have used the tools in this video and I can tell you that the quality is incredible! From the Domino 500 to the track saw to the Carvex jigsaw - amazing! The best part about the tools - or I should say a big part about the tools is the dust collection. When you don't have to spend a 30-45 minutes cleaning up sawdust everyday its nice. Its not all over your clothes, it's not in your lungs, it's where it belongs - in the vacuum.

+Will Leingang The American dream is about the free market meaning you can buy things in from abroad if you need it. I can guarantee you he also has American tools as well.

Commercial grade workshops can be 5 to 10 times bigger than that. He can do the same type of work as a commercial grade shop but probably does it on his own or with one or two workers.

I admire Festool products. I am, however, slowly unplugging my workshop. Only rough dimensioning some stock with power tools. Using top quality hand tools( I don't need to tell any of you what they are, you know.) Enjoyed the video and the design work. Be well.

That is fine for low volume output on high quality products. But there are people who want higher output with good quality as well.

I tremendously enjoy and count on my Festool products but one of the earlier poster nailed it... This is tool porn- emotion based marketing without much substance. If you really want to know what's up with their tools check out someone like Marc at the wood whisperer or halfinchshy, they'll show you what you can (and can't) do with festool products.

Its the price you must pay though to move into the professional world.Thats true for any type of work, not just woodworking. I have used the Festool track saw one time at a demo, it was marvelous. I am just fine using a circular saw and homemade guide currently, but if and when I want to step up more work, or become tired of the 'workaround methods', that Festool will be in my garage.

No information? He is telling you he can work a small workshop from these tools and also take them on the road which he cannot do with other machines. How much more do you actually want?
