Looks very well built.

Nice project.

Very creative! I hope it meets your needs.

Not very many DIY jointers around. Thanks for showing it. I love shop built tools.

Plywood and a dream! Awesome job. Once you find some CNC parts lying around, we’re all in trouble :).

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

what the #%&#$%&@ is that …...you have slammed together …. can´t you make a propper job !!!!

Just kidden you , I simply love it
It´s great when people can make things like this jointer with what they have around :-)
this kind of creative thinking always makes me a little humble
thank you so much for sharing it Freddy :-)

Thanks for the comments everyone!

dub560: yeah, and I get to enjoy the building process too ;)

mafe: thanks, in some parts I was like “what my friend mafe would do here? ” hehee, of course I left out the beautifying side of the equation but I will compensate in other projects for sure.

bertha: I’m really really afraid to go the CNC way… unless I win the lottery; now, where I left that ticket? :)

Dennis:ok, now you really made me laugh, I had to try hard to refrain myself as I’m at the office now and don’t want some weird looks lol.

-- Learning one thing at a time

Brilliant!!! I love shop made machinery. Well done.

That is really cool. You’ve done a great job planning and designing. The materials used should provide for a very stable infeed and outfeed table.

just breake down and laugh all over so everyone can hear you
I do it all the time when I sit and read something funny and don´t remember where I am
and when I realise it …. well some shake there heads but every one has a smile in the eye´s
and that make my day :-)
help other to loosen up and have a little less stress ain´t the worst you can do

take care
Dennis

Brilliant, and I don’t like talking in cliques, but necessity is the mother of invention. And that is a nice machine to fill the need with the tools at hand.

-- Mel

Hell yeah, you succeeded brilliantly. In true Mexican fashion, that is :)

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

Outstanding idea and execution!

-- Kelly, woodworker under construction

-- I am not so rich to buy cheap tools.
