Old Jointer Restoration

I bought a very old jointer and restored it. Sometimes dealing with an old piece of equipment can be challenging. But result might be rewarding!

Cheers!

That is a very impressive restoration of a machine that seems to have been left for dead. Where I come from, we always say, "They don't build them like they used to." Your persistence may have provided you with a solid machine that will work to your benefit for decades. The green paint is perfect, and assuming the cast iron surface is clear and flat, you'll have the bragging rights and a story to tell. It isn't perfect, but it's a very nice machine, and it has personality. Clearly that was a lot more work than your video could explain. Congratulations!

HI Jonas. That's a really solid machine, it should produce a good finish. Enjoyed the restoration, those old blades were atrocious you did the tight thing buying a new set. Looking forward to some machining videos. Tony

Congratulations! Looks good. How's it holding up and do you have issues getting parts?
