Rich,
THANK YOU!!!!
Nail on the head! Except for missing the Festool/loose tenon exchange I thought that I was being very specific.
I typically don't mind if a thread branches a bit here and there, as long as it weaves back to the original track (or at least close to it).
And Festool... Everybody has their own thing. And Festool is is one of those things that people are passionate about. As for the Domino, If I were looking at them seriously, I would be looking at the XL because the original model produces mortises that are too small for me.
Ok, now I do collect tools. My passion is for Woodpeckers tools. Granted they are expensive, but they made in the USA and I don't just collect them... I use them.
