I'll take some time in next week's class to examine the jointer and get a better understanding of how it works and it's measurements. I'll try some tests to see if the components are aligned, assuming the teachers don't intercept me.
The jointer I was working with is big.. Not a home shop jointer by any means. There is a "small" jointer available also, but that is still much bigger than any jointer I've seen at at retail stores. So, the wood I'm working with is shorter than each table--no problem.
Excellent idea about the winding sticks. I had read about them before and thought they were primarily for hand tool (non-powered) woodworking, but I can see how useful it would be to understand the wood I have in hand.
