hi everyone this is cole from mason wood shop and i posted a video about nine months ago but a handful of tools that i was looking to sell as my interest in woodworking shifted from general purpose collection of all tools to do all things to more of a cabinet-making uh woodworker and i think the reality is that that cabinet making space still very much appeals to me as i put out a list of these tools i wanted to sell and i did sell about half of them and the great news is that over the last nine months i haven't missed those tools at all so i sold the biscuit joiner that i had i would generally use it for alignment purposes with panels and i don't do a lot of panels and i found that really kind of the way that i do a lot of my glue ups now and using tongue and groove i don't need it so i found a much better way to do it versus using the biscuit joiner so it was nice to not just sell it to save a little bit of space but to sell it to also fund additional tools the other one was the dovetail jig from porter cable and it was an awesome jig i posted a number of videos on this and had had great feedback from viewers on youtube about it making it a relatively complex tool to set up much more consumable so i'm thankful that i did have that jig and was able to make those videos but the reality is i wasn't using them on any of the drawers i was making anymore so it made sense to get rid of that it's also an awful thing to store finally the bandsaw so i had a 14 inch porter cable band saw it took up a lot of space in the shop i mean i could kind of wheel it into the corner but it was still very tall and it was a tool that i just wasn't using very often i'd maybe pull it out every three or four months for a couple of cuts and over the last nine months there maybe been twice where i would have pulled out to use it but the reality is i now love my jigsaw and i have a video on that so i use the jigsaw instead so i can get by without the bandsaw quite easily right now do i think i'll have a bandsaw especially when i have a bigger shop absolutely i think that'd be cool to do some bandsaw only projects one of the tools that i did have on that list that i'm so thankful i did not sell was my table sauce and my ridgid r4512 table saw i have a number of accessories for it and it just would have been much more difficult for me to do a handful of projects that i've had since um since i posted that video and i also included the planer in that video and that's going to make a bit of a reappearance here as well as a lot of the rough cut lumber that you'll see behind me so i have a lot of rough cut walnuts that i bought that i'm not going to be using anytime soon so again i'll get to that in a few minutes and to also break a misconception and i'm thankful for the community the comments in there the support that i got on some of my decisions the the feedback i got on potentially the wrong decision which was really quite helpful in me determining which ones to sell and which ones to not sell thank you to everybody for that and i think that when it does come down to to who i am as a woodworker and the amount of time that i have in the shop my time is limited so the quickness to set up is important dust collection is important because this is a shared space the other factor is that i'm not made of money and i think that was a misconception in the video and and and i've heard this from other woodworkers when you throw out the name festool i think that there's a misconception that you have a lot of money to go sink into those tools and i think for me i have to value the time in my shop a certain way so there's going to be a couple things in this video that that you may not like but what i'm doing by selling tools and it may be great to have this great variety of tools but i also need to be able to fund the tools that i want the most and it's not just about saving up my money and going out and splurging on those it's about selling what i have and then using projects that i'm working on to justify that so i think that that's one misconception that i definitely want to get out in this video so without further ado let's take a look at the few tools that i do plan on selling it and through the the tour of those tools i'll talk a little bit about why and what i am looking to replace them with so i'm working in probably three phases with some of this and i'll definitely really appreciate your comments below if you haven't already subscribed to my channel please do i'm very thankful for new subscribers and leave a comment below on this video about if you think i'm making a mistake what you've done how how do you fund new tool purchases is it by selling older tools is it by selling tools that you just don't use that often so let's get to a few of those tools and i'll show you what i mean so the first tool that i am looking to sell to again kind of get some funds together for what i'll be talking about in just a moment is this uh craftex uh spindle sander so this is a spindle sander i bought it was on sale because it was going out or they were raising the price permanently on it for i think from like 200 or 180 to 250 canadian and i think the reality is that they had do still discount it quite often i used it once in a video and that is it so uh it takes up a lot of room in a cupboard i don't use it i'm not gonna be doing a lot of inside curves so this is going to be sold next up and let's just kind of skip around here is the dewalt dw 735 planer so i'm i think i'm 80 sure that i'm going to be selling this tool um it is a great planer it has not seen a lot of use by me so it has probably maintained a pretty decent value as far as being sought after as well as also being in excellent condition with the extension wings and a spare set of blades and i totally agree with the arguments that were left on the other video about using it for face frames using it for edge banding and that sort of thing and i think i i could but a couple things i don't enjoy breaking down lumber i don't enjoy milling it there is something neat when you see a rough cut piece come out of the planer and be much better but i don't have a jointer um and it's because of the small shop so i have a small one car garage shop so i did have a jointer at one time and it was just awful in here so as far as being too cramped so i think that the planter is going to go i do have ways to get milled lumber not from the home center but yes i do think the planer is going to go and that's going to be the primary way that i fund the first tool purchase and then we have some of the rough cut lumber so i probably have i don't know probably 50-ish board feet of walnut so i'll probably be selling that off again not just to free up room but to also raise funds for the first tool purchase next up we actually have and this is going to kind of spawn that that phase one of my plan and that is going to be selling my dewalt track saw so this is the cordless 60 volt flex volt track saw from dewalt and it is a very good track saw it's something it's a tool that has seen a lot of use i do very good job maintaining it it is probably the primary tool that i use in my cabinet making but what i am looking to do is to upgrade to the festool cordless so the tsc 55 um the new one with the thinner blade better dust collection uh much more repeatable setup the track system with festool is also going to be a part of my phase two of this kind of tool purchase plan which is going to be to change over routers to one of the festool routers that can attach to the track for a lot of the cabinetry work and drilling the pinholes so i will be looking to move to the lr32 system for that so the track saw is something that will hold its value pretty well uh so selling it's not gonna be that much of a sting although there is that upgrade cost to the festool and i am planning to keep this for about a month after i get the festool so i can do a lot of head-to-head comparisons i mean if if it if the festool doesn't blow me out of the water and i'm like you know what the dewalt one can actually get by i'll keep this and return the festool so we'll see how it goes but that is my plan for that first phase i also have a number of accessories that i want to sell so i have i'm not going to show you all of them by any means but things like this like this rock straight edge that i used to use with my circular saw before i had a track saw so that's going to go again lots of other little accessories so now that's the first phase of my plan and that is to acquire that festival tracks on selling my existing track saw and planer and lumber and spindle sander that i really just don't see a lot of use nor are they the kind of things that interest me as a woodworker i think that that's something for us to all remember is that i may have a great collection of tools to do everything related to woodworking but what interests me right now and what motivates me is getting into the shop being efficient having repeat setups and just trying to work a little bit more efficiently sorry camera move there second phase of the plan is to transition my routers and i talk about my routers a lot 2021 was after all the year of the router and uh i've done a lot of videos on them and they're the videos that are by far the most well performing for me as far as what i posted last year but there are a few things that i want to talk about the the bosch evs or 1617 evs pk is a phenomenal all-around router it's a big router it's powerful with the plunge base and the fixed space it's great you can load it up with accessories and oh gosh i know that i have all of the accessories for that it doesn't work on a track it um the setup on it takes time it's a great router and i highly recommend it to anybody and talk about moving to a festival route or like we're talking about multiple times that the cost and i'm very much aware of what that means um for my videos going forward and how it may be out of reach but for me i i my woodworking is meant to be accessible i i even though i'm buying some of these more expensive tools it doesn't mean that you need to have them it also doesn't mean that they have to be able to reach for you the other router that i have that i've done a number of videos on that i genuinely like but there are a couple things with it that i don't and that is the dewalt 20 volt cordless router and it's so versatile to be able to throw a battery on here and go and zip around and do your trim routing that is awesome i have the plunge base forward i have i even bought a compact rotor table for it that i made a video on a little while ago and that makes it such a versatile tool it is slightly underpowered for some of the things that i'm asking it to do and whether that is due to the battery which i don't think is necessarily the issue because the corded version isn't that much different so what i'm looking at doing by selling both of these routers is buying the festool 1010 router and it is probably in between these two so it's it takes a quarter inch and an eight millimeter collet it doesn't take the half inch that is on the uh larger bosch rotor so i will be missing out on that and that is a void that i will want to address in the future but i haven't used any half inch bits in a long time which is also why the bosch 1617 has actually been sitting over there for most of those nine months outside of the videos that i produce so i try to use this little guy for everything that i can but it does get a little bit bogged down so the 1010 from festool is going to fill that void nicely it's perfectly well suited for cabinet making for it's also got a really cool attachment to do the edge banding on um shelves and cabinets and that sort of thing so that's my plan with the kind of phase two and phase three i've kind of toyed with ideas i don't know if i'm gonna go the mft route and being able to fund that through some other tool cell sales will will be necessary or if it's one that i kind of bite the bullet and uh plead with my wife to allow me to purchase that but the mft is very appealing to me and i think for a few reasons one repeatability the easy setup the things that i really outline or outlined at the beginning of this video on what gets me in the shop right now and the limitations of the time that i have in the shop so throughout this process i do want to produce videos on comparing the festival tools to these existing tools that i have and what i want to do in those is to not just share my thoughts on them and where i think the festival is better i think that there could be a lot of things that's better but is it worth double the cost and i think that that's something where most of the time my answer is probably going to be no but if you are like me and you're very time constrained in the shop and you're trying to simplify the tools that you have access to it and i just get in the state of analysis paralysis all the time when it comes to some of the projects that i work on but um yeah that's where i am right now as much as i'd love to sell my large table saw and get one of the portable saws which i did talk about in the video and i think one of the commenters early on said don't do it like you're going to be selling this table saw spending more money on a rigid job site saw and you're just going to be disappointed in that and despite this being a large saw i think i'm just going to kind of carve out a place in the shop where i can kind of tuck it into the corner and then bring it out when i need it so that's my plan right now and again feel free to leave a comment below telling me that this is a ridiculous idea i think for me it's doing what what what first of all what i want uh what i think fits my woodworking where i want to go and i also want to bring you along for the ride to show you that festival is not all that it's kind of out there to be it's how you can make use of it and i think that that is where i'm going to make use of it but i will make sure that i always produce content that is accessible and easy for people to learn with kind of whether you're using a smaller router like this or whether you have a big table saw or a big router table that sort of thing um yeah so i think that's all i want to get across in this video so thanks for watching there will be more videos soon and uh i'll see you then thank you ...
