#ecovacs #ecovacsgoat #robotmowerTree Disaster Update #2 - It happened again....Mason Woodshop2025-05-17 | Two weeks after a giant oak tree split our home in half, another massive full-size tree came down at the temporary house my family is staying at, just barely missing the bedroom my wife and I were sleeping in. This beautiful basswood came down around 3am during another quick, but intense, storm.
Hard to believe it happened to us again, and while we're thankful no one was hurt and the house didn't have any damage, it's hard to rationalize what's happened these past few weeks.

We've received lots of love from neighbours, friends, and family and are not in need of anything, but I wanted to share why I'll be taking a break for a while.

#festooldomino #festool #tsoproductsFestool Domino DF 500 Set // Unboxing & First Impressions - WOW!Mason Woodshop2024-03-08 | In this video, I'll show you the most expensive tool I've ever purchase - the Festool Domino DF 500 Q-Set with box of assorted Domino tenons and additional cutters. This is a wild tool that has blown me away in the first few days I've owned it. Let's take a look!
NOTE: After using this for a few days, I highly recommend NOT placing the material you're cutting into on a flat surface as this can sometimes cause you to accidentally reference of the base, rather than the upper plate. It's best to clamp the workpiece on the surface of the table with it hanging slightly over the edge so that the table will not interfere in any way.
