Please forgive me... I did not realize there was a rule for having to have the photos before I was allowed to share !! :D

So as a bonus... I have a few extra pics of the shop. Now keep in mind, it is a bit messy, moving things around to make room. What do you mena... doesnt everyone have a Bridgeport in the wood shop...

I have a couple more pics in another post to follow

Hey Jim, when did the Navy start painting their new carriers GREEN. ;) :D

Be sure and let us know how that puppy does. Did you get the shelix head?

Jim,

Congratulations! I got the same machine last April and I know you'll be happy with it. The tables on mine were dead-flat, too. The kids cal it "Dad's thousand-pound thing".

The only issue I've had with it was during the summer, as it is near a window, the sun would beat down on the control stalk. Since the thermal overload is inside it, I got some nuisance tripping due, I believe, to the overload protector being so hot in the first place. 'hasn't been a problem in cooler weather.

You also have a ready-made guest cot in case unwelcome family members invite themselves over to visit.

"Stout" looking machine, Jim!! I'm looking forward to your comments once you have some mileage on it.

[Peter Pedisich]

Good Luck with that beauty...by the way, nice wood walls!

Nice looking jointer! Wow! I havn't seen a Doall Vertical mill in a long time. Like Jim said above be sure and let us know what you think after the "new machine smell" wears off. :rolleyes:

Forget the bridgeport clone, tell us more about the camel back straight edge. Looks like a brown and sharpe. Now that is the tool for checking the jointer tables. How long is that puppy? Is it in good shape? That is a find as i am always on the hunt for these. Nothing makes jointer work easier than a couple of nice camel back straight edges. Esp. if they are wearyweary long!

[Chris Rosenberger]

Jim you have a nice jointer & a nice shop.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful jointer and shop Jim. That is a hunk of iron.

[Jerry Olexa]

I think you need a bigger one...Only kidding. Great choice. Let us know how u like it...

[Michael Ballent]

Nice collection of toys. Especially the mill and the jointer :D

[Dan Forman]

Nice jointer, looks like quite a step up form the previous one.

Good thing you got that inside quick, someone might have tried to land an F-14 on it. Nice jointer.

You mean like this???

[Marcus Ward]

Hahaha no kidding! It's to scale too! Too funny. I've got the grizzly 6" and really like it so far. I am wondering how long it'll be before I want the 8" or bigger.

edit - hey wait a sec, that's an f-18, not a 14. Tryin to trick me, eh? ;)

[Jim Becker]

Marcus, when I bought my J/P nearly everyone was referring to it as the "aircraft carrier"...so I stopped at the local toy store and fed the myth...

18, not a 14. Tryin to trick me, eh? ;)It's ok, an F-18 is a carrier plane too.
Funny thing, I was just wondering yesterday WHEN someone would actually do this picture!

BTW, if you're ever in the the Smithsonian's National Air and Space museum on the mall in DC. Take a look inside the hanger deck of the huge aircraft carrier model (Enterprise, I think). Inside you find a Oliver 12" jointer! no not really, but you will see something that doesn't really belong, anyone care to guess?

[Jim DeMarco]

What an eye you have Dev. It is indeed, it is in great shape, and I believe it is a 36".... Oh by the way Dev, NO !

[Jim DeMarco]

Lets see what Dev can spot here????

Do you push wood by hand across a 12 inch jointer? I find that pushing wood across a 6 inch is work.

Excellent point. As the wood actually gets flat, you start to get a "suction" effect between the material and the tables. That makes moving it a little harder each pass when you have wide material. My jointer/planer gets around this with the particular swirly grind on the table tops. They are flat, but not "smooth", so there is air there, too. That make sliding wide boards a lot easier when you are "getting close" to done.
