@TSO_Products Hans, I already have Gregs book and video, for those that dont know the video is included with the book.
I have built many many cabinets and gregs book is a great reference for those who want to learn/understand the different methods of cabinet making.
Gregs class focused on using Festools and their tools and methodology for cabinet making. Im not 100% sure but about 85% sure thatthey gave Greg a ciricculum to follow /methods to use to build cabinets using their tools their way.
I have taken this class before and Greg followed the same process the other festool instructor followed.
What stands out to me is Gregs hands on knowledge as He uses these tools in his business.
Another example (I havent gone back to see if I mentioned this or not ) Is the CMS router table.
There has been some discussions here about it. Some say its over priced, some say its lacking is accessories that the fence is inadquate etc etc.
Greg blew most of the criticism out of the water, when I walked into his shop and see professional cabinet makers using the CMS router table to produce various pieces for a high end kitchen Greg is currently making for a customer. Especially when his 3 CMS RT are equipped with the stock festool fence.
I agree with Greg when he said that he can do anything he wants to do using the accessories festool created for their tools and no real need to buy other after market accessories.
Sure I do have a few after market accessories like the slop stop and the Lee Valley stand offs for cutting on the MFT.
But do I need them to perform at a acceptable level making quality wood working products? No not really.
Its mainly understanding the tools and how to use them properly .
For those who have taken FT end user classes from Steve Bace, Steve starts his classes i the intro lecture stating:
The average festool user only uses 58% of the tools capabilities.
Then he goes on to teach the other 42% of the tools capabilities.
