My dad picked up this Jet 15" planer at an auction about 1 month ago. When he brought it home i was excited until i saw it. It was rusted, the stand was crooked, infeed and outfeed tables were completly crooked and bent, it looked like crap but i had faith after realizing it actually worked. So i started taking it apart and cleaning this, painting that. Finally i am all done so i thought i would share my excitement. All i have to do now is sharpen the blades and start planing alot of wood.

I made the base out of 1 1/2 angle iron then wraped it in 16g galvenized. I was going to make it with less strength but after lifting this i decided to go all the way. I didn't want this thing crashing down to the ground. I also used the original infeed and outfeed rollers. I had to tweak the heck out of them trying to get them back to square. It was fun some of the time but well worth it. Thanks Josh
