Making a $3000 Tool from Spare Parts and Scrap Wood - Full Build

My 9 Project Plan Bundle (LIMITED TIME): I made this jointer using the cutter head from my old, broken thickness planer and scrap plywood. The other parts were salvaged or I had them already.

It took me several months to finish, and those videos are spread out over that time. The jointer has been working problem-free since I built it and gets used regularly.
