I went to Sears the other day and behold laying on the floor of the
clearance area was a Craftsman 6" jointer for $200. I didn't know if SWMBO
woul allow me to buy it so I put it on hold.

Low and Behold SWMBO allowed me to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No kidding, but, what if you were HWMBO???

Congrats.

When I got it home and unpacked it it was all there except for the stand and
the motor......

I am making a stand out of scrap 3X3 and the motor cn be acquired for about
$59.00.

$250 for a $379 jointer......
