    Beautiful shop Mon chum. Of all the shops I've found online, this is my dream shop. Btw, I don't think you need any celebrities? When you have all that talent in your head,heart,and hands. It was still kind of them to offer help. Many hands makes light work.

    I think it's hilarious that in one scene they use hand miter saws, and a minute later it's the Cadillac of all miter saws, the Festool.
