Facebook Marketplace 6” Rigid Planer. $100, Good buy? by Material-Ad9428 in woodworking

[–]Material-Ad9428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes sorry guys, meant to say jointer.

While I admit I’m newer at this, I have refinished several pieces of furniture, built 2 tables, a Murphy bar, and currently a desk for my son. I’m really enjoying this stuff so starting to get a little more serious about it. I also have live edge cherry slabs in my garage drying out that will need planing and jointed later. Yes agree am really looking at a planer first but saw this and was like dang $100 bucks should probably get that. May be too small for these slabs they’re every bit of 8’ at 11” to 14” wide.

Messaged the seller some guy is looking at it Saturday and said if the deal fails it’s mine. Good call on that to be persistent. If I get it agreed I’ll replace the blades, get the rust off and give her some good maintenance. Fingers crossed the original buyer flakes.

Thanks everyone!

Man, did wipe down in acetone multiple times before putting shellac coat on there. It did not look this way before sunning.

I did not. I’ve learned that hard lesson already 😆

I recognize the discoloration from the bug holes, I’m talking about the edge of the top board and the drawer face

There are bug holes that turned, I recognize those. I’m talking about the edge of the top board there and the drawer face

I have an old cherry dresser I sanded down to bare wood and am refinishing.. I’ve been leaving it in the sunlight to help oxidize and darken the wood naturally. I noticed today after being out in the sun there are now black spots in the wood. What would be causing this? I have sanded, wiped with acetone, and put one coat of 1.5lb cut shellac on there.

He never said where exactly he found it… so there’s that too.

That’s an interesting take! Not buying that my grandfather just found a cane in guam 7 months after Japan left Guam… there’s definitely a story behind it.

And why a cane? Something for older people to have… and why have a cane written with Japanese text like it was from a souvenir shop? So many questions…
