...and it'll probably be the last piece of "big" equipment I'll buy until I can get a bigger shop.
~1920 American Woodworker No. 1 8" Bench Jointer. Found it on Craigslist. Motor runs well, though the drive pulley wobbles just a bit. I dunno if it's enough to warrant attention; hopefully it won't. It's a 3" belt drive. I'm hoping to keep it that way just for the cool factor. It's missing a hand wheel on the out feed side, but I can live with that.
I have no clue when I'll put it into service, but I'm super stoked to have it. I really want a 12" jointer, but hate my 6" jointer, so I'm happy to have this, ESPECIALLY since it's a short bed--42" overall.
I'd say I got it at a killer price--$250.
