Hey Harold,
Good resto…well done.

Harold,

Nice cleanup on the jointer/planer.

Question: Where does the jointer/planer discharge the chips when mounted on a solid countertop?

Be Careful!

Nice rehab. How many beers did it take to finish?

-- I could quit if I wanted

Just an observation: where you’ve placed the jointer, you’ll have to reach over most of the cabinet to use it. Would it be better to mount the front of the jointer nearer to the left side, to save your back? I know when I use mine, I like to have my body close to the machine; it feels like you have better control over the wood.

Maybe you have a different reason for mounting it where it’s at. I understand, if that’s true.

I’m sorry about the WAY that you got your tools, but truly appreciate the labor of love that it must have been, getting this one back to such good condition.

Thanks fellows for all the kind words, observations and questions. Here are some answers:

Herb – if you look at the last photo you can see a hose that attaches at the middle back of the jointer and then connects to the dust collector.

Wrench – it depends on who’s asking ”...officer, I’ve only had one beer three days ago…”

Robb – I did not think that one through. I was going to place it in the middle (never thought of the left side.) I decided to place it to the right to provide free space on the left. This way I can use that side of the table to lay things down… like beer. I’ve not had any issues thus far but have only used it a few times.

Beener – thanks for the thoughts.

Nice set-up. I like that cyclone thingy before the vacume cleaner.
Sit and sip is my speed too.
Nice post.

I just inherited a bunch of tools from my grandfather who passed away. I used the google to search for old tools with rust and how to remove the rust. I found your blog and joined this website. I also found in my search a product that must be just like the evapa rust you found. The website I found was www.rust911.com. I looked at both removers and rust911 had the better price for more remover. I ordered it a two weeks ago and it worked great. Good luck with your future projects

Jazzy – wow to think, an internet search brought you to my little blog and you joined Lumberjocks. Wonderful.

You’re going to love this place. I look forward to seeing your handy work and those rust free tools!!
