Well, I've watched clips of both of these systems till I'm blue in the face. For the word count of all the stuff I've read about both, I could have re-read Ulysses. And the religious devotion, and counter-revulsion, displayed by devotees makes me think a new St. Batholomew's day is coming. It's like red sox/yankees, or chargers/raiders. Or mayo/mustard. Geez... It reminds me about my favorite saying about politics: "A horse is just a horse. It ain't Pegasus...
I have some sympathy for the bricolage approach. But I'm a complete doofus, as we know. On the other hand, both systems seem to lead to more purchases. Dino invents some new bridge concept, and pretty soon there's more stuff to buy. But speaking of more stuff to buy, people end up with a shop full of festools. For what they end up paying, I could end up with some serious mustard! Lots of people don't even build their own MFTs! They just suck it up and pay. Maybe I'm on the wrong platform. This train don't carry no gamblers, and for me, this is high stakes serious green.
But I need something. My most precious commodity is time. I have even less of that than I have pocket change. Yes, either system would cost more than I spent for my table saw. I actually walked Doorlink into the local woodcraft yesterday, hoping they'd have something to look at, but no dice. And there's no way I could ever think about the 400 bucks for the dust collector, which means another bricolage set up for a shop vac. Which means more time, and I'd still be working like the doofus I am!
Arrgh!
Thanks,
Bill
