So excited to get cutting with it. I put it together myself as well, fucking thing was SO HEAVY.

Anyway, I think this is my final tool for now.

Nice! My jointer is always my first step when preparing boards with a reference edge, I’m a lousy craftsman but my jointer helps hide that fact.

Yeah I tried to do the "planer hack" with a long mdf sled but it's not perfect or flat, so I had to get this. I got the 8" wahuda but it's too short and my 86" boards are coming out curved. Hopefully this way it's flat flat flat

Final tool, lol!

"for now", indeed.

EDIT: That mobile base looks sweet. Great looking tool. Hope you get the most out of it!

You're right tho, I realized I don't have a ban saw

As far as I'm concerned a jointer is one of the essentials of serious woodworking, I wanted badly to get one but I also needed a lathe and I had no room for both in my shop, so I got the lathe and picked up new 3" blades for my Makita planer, the difference between that and a jointer is the same as amateur and professional...I've done plenty of woodworking, framing, finishing, furniture, truss & joist, I could rough in anything but I was never patient enough to give that professional look, a few projects turned out really good but I got lucky, I just ain't consistent with woodworking, but everything I've ever built is still sturdy as fuck, I'm good with log structures, log is actually easy but it's the handling and positioning that's hard, I've seen logs 30ft long and 800lbs, "ridge poles", fucking brutal to handle...and it was then that I knew fucking well that I need a jointer.

Are you making table tops? Cabinet doors?

This is what I'm going for using sapele, maple plywood and some mdf
