Buzzing the Plane

We just purchased a Power8 Workshop. OK, so there's no planing tool in it. But this thing is still awesome - it has a hammer drill, jig, circular, scroll, and table saws, drill press, plus a halogen light. Plus it's got a bunch of other bits and bobs, and runs fully on battery power with all kinds of cool power connectors. Everything packs away neatly inside the "table," (item 8 for those of you who are counting), which is really a large carry box with all kinds of nooks, crannies, and work surfaces.

The handheld bit is really heavy, so I much prefer attaching the bits to the table. Yes, I am learning to use this thing. I thought it was so flash that I promised I'd learn to use every tool in the kit if we got it.

It's not high quality by any stretch of the imagination, but it does have the advantage being portable - at least if you use your imagination for that. The only way I was able to carry the unopened box down the hallway was to wheel it on a trolley. I was a amazed that the chap we bought it from was carrying it under one arm. Maybe after a few weeks of using the power tools I'll be able to do that, too. Goggles, please.
