That is stunning!!
Is there down lighting under the top edge, or is it just light reflecting off the stainless?

Thanks David, yes there's strip lights under the counter top shining on the metal

Few new pics of the locker build and it fitted yesterday, just phone snaps...
Rough shape cut out after vacuum pressing flexible ply. How messing is that workshop
Cutting out door...
Cut out and edging added to door opening and holes put out for lights and fixing bolts...
Thankfully, the door fits!
And how it looks fitted in the van after a fair bit of fine tuning to get it to fit

Using a TS55 is almost cheating! I used to sell Festool products, expensive, but very, very good.

Re: Dai Syncro's interior build (with photos)
I wouldn't be without that TS55 - probably the most used tool in the workshop. If I had the money I'd replace everything I could with Festool stuff, it'll be a sander next, or maybe a jigsaw.

Festool kapex chop saw is painfully expensive but I've never used anything that comes close. Their routers are as good as the plunge saws, I've used dewalt, mafel, and the new makita pluge saws and they are all clunky in their own ways. The festool jigsaw with the oscillating light is weird to use, bit of a design faux pas. Got to go along way to beat my bosch blue d handle jigsaw. 20 years strong.

Agreed - these are great jigsaws. I still love my Hilti WSC55 - a great plunge saw that was about half the price of the Festo at the time.
Beautiful cabinet work in any case.

Ah yes, the Kapex... that reminds me, I've got a lottery ticket from Saturday I haven't checked...
I haven't actually seen the funny light thing in action on the Festool jigsaw, looks like an interesting idea, no good then?!

Re: Dai Syncro's interior build (with photos)
Apparently the light strobes in time with the blade to make it look like its not moving but this only cuts in a higher speeds so if you like to feather the trigger it, and you , are never going to settle. judt wierd and gimmicky i think.
If you fancy a one handed style jigsaw the makita one is very good
I loved your explanation of your employment background , pretty much described mine exactly. Started with furniture design at Middlesex Poly. Now doing whatever's necessary.
