First Project with Dash-Board and Festool Track Saw

This video walks through my first real (but very simple) project using the ‪@dashboardportableworkshop‬ and the Festool TS-75 track saw. I am an experienced woodworker (although not an especially skilled one), but I had never used a track saw or an MFT-style bench before.

I also used the Festool Domino for this, and that tool is fairly new to me as well.
