I don’t know about the Drivel Starved Nation, but I am out of neurons. I can’t figure out how to trick you crazies anymore.
You don’t actually believe that do you?
We will post final Sneak Peek images of the CT-18 at the end of today. We also have some fun freebies for you as well.
Other News Dept:
We have a very low employee turnover here at Bridge City. Part of it has to do with our minimum salaries which start at $250K. Add in the 32 weeks of paid vacation and it is no wonder that these loonies hang around here forever. That said, our favorite spy, Natasha, is moving on to a brand new job in the marketing department of a printed circuit board company. We wish her the best, and if you want to drop her a parting line, I know she would love hearing from you. natasha@bridgecitytools.com. Her last day is, get this, Friday the 13th.
Now for those of you who participated in this totally hilarious and worthless CT-18 clue nonsense, we are presenting an award to a single Drivel Starved Nation member who impressed me the most. This is completely arbitrary, but what I like best about this award is that the rest of you are losers. How cool is that?
Customer Paul-Marcel, who hails from beer and donut land plays hockey. He created the rarest hockey jersey in the country–no, make that planet. It is a fitting (pun intended) tribute to the lack of neurons floating loosely amongst the Drivel Starved Nation–hence the number CT-17-1/2.
We asked Natasha to model it for us and we believe this is a perfect way to bid farewell to a loyal, valued and soon to be ex-employee. That said, she should shave more often…
The winner is Bob Metzger, and his guess, “some kind of expensive metal tool” is spot on and works for me. Bob, send us your shipping info and this jersey will be headed your way. Oh, and Natasha has agreed to include an autographed pic–congratulations! (FYI, no frame included and a billfold pic is extra.)

John,
That pictured turned me on a little. Is there something wrong with me, or do I need to get a date soon?
Congratulations Bob; I’m sure you’ll look much better in your new jersey!

Yay :0) a plane! Love it.
I see some customers did not order extra irons for their CT-17, and what is this toothed blade on the right!!!! Love the black mushroom and adjuster knob styling. Put your power jointer on eBay.
Still wondering about all these Ikea screws floating around, how will the fence / guide / track will work? Can it slide on a Festool TS saw track ?
Body material?
Sorry to hear that Natasha is leaving :0(
Good luck for her on the new path!!
I see there is a scalloped chocolate blade included for making confectionery curls to adorn Paul-Marcel’s Donuts. The locking mechanism can also be used to crush a few nuts, should occasion ever require it. I suppose this will be adjustable to produce shavings which barely exit the realm of the superficies.
Good luck, Natasha!
Jeesh, John; you need to get that girl some lotion!
Man, I don’t care how much you pay. I guess that is why I am unemployed. Bob, congratulation man, but I would wash that thing as soon as possible, It looks like Michael has gone commando.
I also feel sorry for the guy who one day is going to get the middle walnut box….eeeww
John,
Talked with Natasha earlier this week and got myself on Auto-Order at the printed circuit board factory- hate to miss out on the latest board.
-Rutager
Masood,
Michael’s nickname is “girly-man”. The middle box is safe. Do the math.

Got the Jersey yesterday, thank you very much. I actually thought you were kidding about it.
Someone at your office must have pilfered the autographed picture however. I wanted to surprise Rutager with it.
