I bought this today:

Thats a Jet 12" jointer/planer, 500 pounds of cast iron and steel with sharp blades. I feel very manly now, even though it took four men and a Schnauzer to get it off the back of the truck and into the garage.

    Actually I am sort of jealous of that purchase. I can think of some projects I could use that for.

    Oak, Walnut and Cedar are all available raw here for a very reasonable price, I don't suppose you have access to a kiln as well do you? I need to build a new aquarium stand! It needs to hold about 1700 pounds of weight including some pirate treasure. I am suffering from tool jealousy right now...

    Unfortunately we used a miniature schnauzer, he wasn't much help.

    I went out to the garage to make some wood chips and man it does a great job, getting enough wood to feed it is going to be a problem though. My uncle in NC has offered me 1200 board feet of rough walnut, just need to find a week or two when I can load up a trailer and go get it. But anyone in the Houston area is welcome to drop by and make some sawdust, it will plane 8" high by 12" wide boards, we could make a fish tank with that.

    So then I bought a coin to celebrate it working so well, sellers pics. 1711, 1 1/4 Silver Ducat celebrating Karl (Charles) VI, election as Holy Roman Emperor and King of a whole bunch of places, in NGC 62.
