This week's woodgears.ca is worth checking out. Matthias builds himself a 12" jointer. Here's the link:

That guy's always doing something surprising with wood...I wonder if he's married, and what his wife's wedding dress looked like...

Pretty cool project, but it seems an awful lot of work for an experimental version!

That jointer is an interesting project but I would never test it the way he did. I like to play guitar too much and need all my fingers.

Yah!!! That project was sehr cool but he scared the bejeezus out of me when he ran the stock through flat with no push paddles or whatever. I can understand and regularly push stock through the "tall" way without push devices but flat is just scary!!!
