Since another DIY machine was just posted here, I thought I'd add one that I just finished (almost).

It's a 13" jointer with a Byrd Shelix cutterhead.

That's so nice! Makes my jet 6" jointer tiny.

I sold a 6" Jet, and yes, this is a LOT bigger.

That's an aircraft carrier!!! Very nice, Gerry.

Edit: I just watched the video - please use push blocks on those small boards. Hate to see what happens if you slip on that monster of a jointer. Very smooth running jointer!

Wow.

Yeah, the short piece of walnut was borderline, and I'll probably never run a board that short across it again. I need to make some good push blocks when I build the fence and guard.
