    Default Finally got a jointer

    The last bit of machinery on my list, despite having nowhere to put it.

    Thanks to another Forum stalwart, I assembled my new(ish) 6" HAFCO jointer today.

    I'm in love. Not only after dis-assembly, transport and my inept re-assembly, was everything still true but I put it together with no bits left over. Fired it up and it just emits this whirr of contained power. Fed a few pieces into it and it really works! Jointed two sides and got out the square. No daylight visible!

    You gotta have a win, every once in a while, and I think I just had one.

    Have thicknessor and jointer, no more excuses.

    Thanks Pete.

    Just need a bigger shed.

    Congrats Bodg....
    I share your affinty with the jointer(I call it a buzzer, juz coz!)

    There is not much more pleasure in woodworking than truing up an ugly stick of timber to precise proportions, with some mere inertia and a few sparks!!

    G'day Bodgy,

    Congrats on the jointer/buzzer. I'd be lost without mine and you'll probably be in the same boat too I guess. They give a great sound as you run some stock over them don't they.

    Just have to work on that thicknesser, then I'm set.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    I know Pat, but its about plurality.
