Hi
As I'm getting into this wonderful hobby, I have now grasped the need for a jointer and a planer.
I have some beautiful koa, but it is mostly not square.
Thanks to this forum, I am the happy owner of a Craftsman 113.
Is this 113 jointer an OK buy? It looks rough, but it looks solid. Is this even worth a look?

Also, what do you recommend for a planer?
I am am strictly a hobbyist. But I am the sort who would rather buy a Laguna 14 twelve vs. cheaper band saw. I realize the Laguna is not a Mercedes; I offer that example, and my 113 table saw to help you with scaling your advice to by perhaps-ill conceived approach to building my shop.
thanks
