multi-tool workstation built from old desk

now thats using space to the fullest. Chock full of good stuff. I think im going to head into space problems sooner than later so im always on the look for space savers, i dig it.

-- Its not a crack, its a casting imperfection.

I recently stripped down the jointer and cleaned up the ways, re-adjusted the outfeed table and blade height, etc….

The jointer motor mount vibrated the bench quite a bit, so I added a Harber Freight link belt, and it cut the vibration roughly in half.

I borrowed a 36” Starret straight edge from work and was tickled pink to find that the infeed table is parallel to the outfeed table within two sheets of paper (I could slide one sheet under the straight edge, but not two).

I did some research on the jointer on one of the old tool web sites and found out that the date of manufacture was circa. 1938!!

:^O

It’s an oldie, but a goodie

Those jointers were made by Walker Turner. The fence you have
is the better one, a really well-designed jointer fence that holds
its setting. There’s a rare swing away guard to keep your eyes
out for on a similar jointer… the guard is worth a pretty penny
to Walker Turner fiends.

I like your forward thinking. Is there a coffee maker on board….............

“Is ther a coffee maker on board”

Not a bad idea. :^)

That’s the Swiss Army of workbenches! Cool

I think you just solved a problem I was having with my new drill press. I designed up a whole flip top thing with my planer that was going to be a beast to use, and way too tall. Yep, this gives me way good ideas.

Thanks a million
