I finished up the Jointer today.

The pictures aren't that great, I apologize.  On a side, I even used a tripod.  But I learned that I cannot press the button on the camera with out jiggling it just a bit.  So, off to Amazon to buy a wireless clicker-ee-doo thing.

So, here she is in all her glory.  I wish I could find what year this was made in.  Regardless, it works quite well.  It will need some attention in places, but then again, maybe it's my technique that requires the attention.

 I tried resurfacing the deck, but it really didn't need it.  So it was mostly a thorough and full cleaning, followed by a bit of lubricant to free up some adjustable bits.  I was even able to zero out the depth gauge perfectly.  I hope it sticks. :)

 Same for the fence angle... nailed it perfectly at 90degrees.  Again, I hope it sticks.  I'll always check it though just to ensure it's right before each use (that's my machinists square pressed up against the fence... no light.  always a good thing).

I finished up by running a bunch of cedar through it.  Then put the cedar through the 13" planer, followed by ripping them on the table saw... this is too much fun, with just  a taste of 'work'.

PS, Whats really nice is that I was able to retrofit my dust collector to all the tools, and only had a little clean up to do!

Thanks for reading, hopefully I'll start posting hope chest updates soon...
