I'd been talking to a fellow at work for some time about woorddorking
(he's a former lithier, currently more interested in building RC
airplanes). He'd mentioned he had a jointer he was willing to part
with, and while I was interested we never managed to get together on
it.
Went over today and picked up a 4" National Power Tools jointer with
(not original) stand and (not original) motor. It's in gorgeous
condition, two spots of rust on it both smaller around than a pencil
eraser.
He'd asked $100 Canadian originally, then came down to$75, and when I
handed him 4 Twennies, he handed one back to me and said "I changed my
mind".
I've got in on the bench now to be cleaned up. The blased have a nick
in them so I'll heve to get them sharpened or replaced, but it's a
lovely old beast.
Looking on the OWWM forum it appears these are quite rare, but I was
delighted to find a PDF of the original manual posted there.

My sincere, abject apologies sirrah! I shall get me hence with yon
digital soul-capturing device and provide the succor you seek so
earnestly.
The boon you seek shall be posted to abpw soonest, and to yon OWWM as
soon I explore the joining thereof (now that I have a real OWWM).

And here we have the fruits of your labor (labour David).

And, you are now an OWWMer.
Lest anyone think that it only takes the owning (buying) of
one to be one, Dave has given us a little glimpse into the
mettle of what it truly means to own and use Old WoodWorking
Machinery.
I'll stop short of my speech on our machines living through
us and how we are only here to do *their* bidding.
Oh By The Way, I noticed the singular submission of dirty
paper for National Power Tools is the owner's manual for the
4" jointer. I'd say the stars have been made into alignment
for you and you only on this one. Congrats.

Oh! And it sounds like you may suck. Uh-huh, I think maybe
you do.
UA100, who hates it when someone describes a machine and he
can't look at it...
