That kinda describes me too sometimes!
I was given an old, don't know how old, 4-1/8" jointer/planer and decided to spend some time making it usable. The blades were nicked and after about 2 hours of work with wet-dry sandpaper and another half hour getting them reset in the machine, they cut very well.
Then there was the fact that the guard was missing. I looked all over for information on this thing and although I found a few guards on ebay that I may have adapted, nothing appeared to be a replacement part....so I made one. It works good and helps keep my valuable fingers away from the blades.
This is why I am so reluctant to throw away anything. The spring, small ball bearing, hardware and wood pieces were kept around...just in case!
