I got the last new toy I will get for a while. I bought Ryobi’s 13” planer for the shop tonight. All I need now is some wood.
It looks and feel kind of cheap. Set up was ptting the crank handle on and putting it on a convenient bench. I’ll add more when I have time to try it out.

So you are going to make your first project on your new planer the Greene and Greene Side Table in the Woodworking Challenge.

No, the first project is going to be the entertainment center. After destroying a few practice boards of course. As for paying for itself, well maybe somdeway I will be good enough to sell stuff. Right now I just want to play around.

Well then make the practice boards in the shape of a Greene and Greene side table.

It looks like I am going to have a snipe problem until I can build an infeed and outfeed table for the Ryobi. I did some extra fence planks I happened to have lying around last night. Just wanted to play around. The ends of the boards were pretty badly sniped no matter how hard I worked at it. I also found that my jointer has a tendency to clog up when I am facing 6” boards. That put a damper on my evening. It was making the surface very rough when it started blowinbg back up through the blade cutout. I guess I will have to get a dust collector sooner than I planned.
