              Ain't about to volunteer to help Thom, or anyone else, load something that heavy. And...

              If your wife can help with something that big, I ain't about to mess with her!

                  Take it easy Thom....

                  I would buy that in a heartbeat for $150, even if I'd have to redesign my whole shop around it. And you had better be able to find someone to help you, if not, hire a few temp guys.

                      I think if you reread that description you'll agree that he's referring to just the beds of the jointer, not the entire assembly.

                      My best guesstimate is that this thing probably weighs in somewhere around the 1100 mark.

                      I was just kidding anyway, as tempted as I am, there's no way I can house something like this right now. Altho the price tag sure makes it tempting to try.

                        Wow, I'd love to get my hands on that. I wonder what the overall dimensions/weight are? Since it's only a 20-30 minute drive, I'd be tempted to go take a look just to check it out.

                        I have one of those extra Rockler mobile bases that you fabricate with the 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" lumber - I wonder if I could put it on there?

                          C'mon... your ex-FIL could keep if for you in the basement of his shop. Right next to the one he's got.
