Does anybody have a 12"+ Jointer that I could face joint 2 boards with near Goshen,OH? I only have an 8" Jointer and would really like to use the entire board width for some drawer fronts. I would gladly pay for the time.
Thanks

Sorry, I don't have a 12" jointer. My question is , is this the Goshen just outside of New Phila?

How about a planer sled?

Don't think so. Just outside of Cincinnati.

I tried a planer sled from Fine Woodworking but got a ton of snipe. I may try the one you linked.

Sleds do increase snip a tiny bit. The key is to make certain the ends of your board are thoroughly supported on the sled.
Once my board is flat and off the sled, I use the planer to get the 2nd side flat and parallel to the first. Finally, while planing the board to final thickness, I am flipping it over and taking even amounts off each side.
When I'm all done, I have very little snipe.
Just remember to keep the ends of the board well supported while they're on the sled, whichever type of sled you use.
