Well - I gave up on the jointer that my son loaned me and just went to work
on things the old way. I used some scrap walnut that I had in the garage
forever, and proceeded to make every mistake in the book. As shown in the
pictures, it only has one coat of oil on it, and will receive a couple of
more. As well, I haven't cut down the stop screw that holds the guide in
place for the selected thickness of stock, yet. I will...

Not Leon or Karl quality work for sure, but this was an enjoyable project to
undertake. It felt good using my garage for something besides sheet metal
and paint work. It has been a loooooong time since I've used any of my
woodworking equipment for anything more than cutoffs or rough work.

But - it works, it's solid, and the pile of scrap walnut is a little bit
smaller.

Here's a link to pictures...
