Anyone seen a jointer that has a fixed blade? What I'm thinking is
something like a jointer plane held upside down with a power feeder
that rams the board over it, creating a nice smooth shaving along the
length and width of the board. Have some strong featherboards pusing
from the top and the side, and then a piston type thingy or something
that feeds the board through.


Hmm. If you turn the blade lengthwise and apply it to a rotating
log instead of a sliding board...


That's what I'd call making pencils the _hard_ way. grin
