I have been a woodworking full time professional for 15 years and practicing the craft for 25 years. I run a 1.5 man woodworking shop with my 17 year old son Cameron who has been working with me from the time he could walk. We specialize in high end cabinetry, furniture and custom architectural enhancements.
While we have been on Instagram for some time, and now we are adding RU-vid! We plan on sharing more shop info, tool info and tips.

Quit with the imperial crap! 2 and 7/16ths ffs it's 62mm say it with me 62mm see how it rolls of the tongue a lot easier and people can relate to what your talking about.
I think it depends on what level of job sites you work on, most of the guys I am around on high end job sites are always looking for better ways to do things, there has already been a lot of interest.
@@fultonfinewoodworks i only work high end job sites. Doesn't matter if these are standard operating procedures in 10 years. The first iron men through the doors will be enduring some A-1 jokes
It's light enough that you can hardly tell you are wearing it, I have not noticed and difference in balance as the weight is supported and transferred to your core
They limited the support level to max 22 pounds so muscle atrophy isn't a factor, it's actually capable of giving much more assistance than that from talking to the engineers - amazing tech!
I am a real life contractor, there isn't a camera man, I keep the back side a little lose allows a little side to side movement but arm supports still work great, of course if you prefer to crank it down on your back it's an option for sure
I would encourage you to go to a dealer who stocks it and try it out, my initial thought is absolutely yes, it takes the strain off your back and places it on the forearm supports, the "backpack" has a lumbar support that supports the weight of what your lifting also
that's a common misconception, when I was in Germany I talked to the Festool engineers about that. They worked with experts to determine the exact amount of weight the Exoactive could reduce while still forcing the user to use muscle power. This is where the max of 22 pounds of assistance comes from, it's actually capable of providing a lot more power which is so cool!
@@zxckpxck152and when you asked that, I assumed you were referring to the context of the movie which is people used the machines to do the work and walk around and became very out of shape. It's a common first response when seeing this, I think it's important to clarify this was designed so that muscle atrophy was not a factor.
My dad always said upside down and backwards is how you want to cut crown molding. My dad was a Master Carpenter master furniture builder master welder rail maker in a master hot rod mechanic. Rest in peace, Father
We understand you’re sponsored and received it for free, but what are the cons? We need to know more information before spending $700 for 10 minutes run time.
The run time would be the con for some, I wouldn't want this to be my only vac but it's great for a quick clean up at the end of the job and even keeping my van looking sharp. Another con would be it doesn't take the larger 5.0 batteries, they don't fit in the slot.
What revelation: it is OK to play with your scarf,-joint and butt- joint. As long as you do it alone. The cauk is key to coping and filling small cracks bent over upside down and backwards. The bigger the crack, the thicker the cauk.Small white cracks should run from big black ones depending on what you’re into.
I love my festool but you can keep this one. Look if the next generation is unable or unwilling to sand some drywall with a 2000$ sander a 1500$ dust extractor and now the bozo wants a 4000$ back pack cause his wittle awms huwt, then I’ll just wait till I can buy my employees that come in a xxl sys. Just skip it and start making robots I guess.
22:56 First, thank you for a great vid and instructions. Some, like myself, enjoy learning something new. I’ll never be a professional, but nevertheless, I love doing new things. My question is about a double cope. You said to measure wall to wall. When I did this, it was about 1/2” too long. I cut my first angle, then when I measured the length on the crown, I moved the end of the tape over to 90 degree line on bottom like you did when measuring for your outside corner. I did cut the bottom at 90 degree while doing the cope, as instructed. Can you give me a little more detail on how to measure for a double cope? Thanks again
Currently trying to decide between a sprinter, a transit and promaster. Leaning heavily towards something that can handle 16' lengths, but maybe I'm overly concerned with being able to haul trim. But it's always delivered to site, so I'm maybe overstating a very edge use case. Thoughts on the 170 WB sprinter? Did you consider one before getting the 144? Awesome setup, will be stealing a lot of that layout. Especially the outfacing setup at the sliding door.
Sorry I missed your comment, I did look at the 170 but decided against it as it isn't as nimble and easy to drive around town and fit into standard street parking spaces. I can haul 12' trim to the back of the crash wall, my middle door can open up and get me to 14' - My roof rack is used regularly for things over 16' - I had a 22' load on there two days ago no problem. For me 12' is usually plenty and sometimes when just going around town I let trim stick out the back door 3' and put a flag on it and strap the door on one side so it is cracked open about 1' but that is rarely needed. 4 years in, I still am glad I went with the 144
I regularly place blue tape on the fence or bed and make reference marks for specific projects, you can also make an custom invention on the table for a measurement you use regularly
