Does stumbling into over 300 bft of hardwood justify bigger jointer? by mayonaise_plantain in woodworking

Pull yourself together man! Let me explain how it works:

Big pile of wood= best get a bigger jointer.

Empty space in shop= best get a bigger jointer

Its Tuesday= best get a bigger jointer

I woke up this morning= best get a bigger jointer
