If you have been thinking about buying some Festool product(s) you might want to do it today. Tomorrow 4/1/08 the prices go UP! If you thought they were expensive before, wait until tomorrow!!

The dollar does not go as far as it use to in the "Motherland". I'm done buying Festool for now-but maybe that $510 mini router would look nice next to the $430 1400?

Thanks for the heads-up Doug. I vow to get so good at woodworking, I can justify the Festool expense. So I hope they keep raising the prices 
Although that Domino does look cool.....

Dang, and I had just convinced myself that a collection of Festool would make me a better woodworker. I was ready to take the plunge. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle with being mediocre 
That's got to be an April Fools joke...the prices on Festool couldn't get any higher, they're maxed out already.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

With my budget, it doesn't matter whether I'm thinking about today's prices or tomorrow's. Festool is way too expensive.
