I have about a 40 year old jointer that was gifted to me. I did the same thing. I tore it completely down. Lots of PB Blaster, WD-40 and fine grit sandpaper and it looked good as new. Good job
I built a bench similar to your a few years ago, I’m looking to change things out and make it more efficient. I work out of a one car garage, so I just roll the bench out and set up a tent to work under. My first jointer was one 4in craftsman that I found on the side of the road for trash. Turned out just needed a new switch. Fixed it, used it for a year turned around and sold it and upgraded to a 6in for what I sold the 4 in for.
Suggestion: Use your videos of disassembly or take lots of pics to know where screws and bolts came from to be able to re-assemble. I do so on anything with more than 2-3 screws or bolts, just for your reason...
This will help me in the future, I’m really happy with how the restoration went. Thinking I might want to save old tools from the junkyard as a hobby and relocate them to future or beginning woodworkers
It’s a SkilSaw it’s been pretty good to me over the years and has some good features but I think it’s getting an upgrade because it’s currently unavailable everywhere
I used to hate TV documentaries where they cut of a great story to switch to another completely different story. And then you would have some idea about the both stories but never get both of them fully. Your jointer restoration made me feel like that. Still amazing content but I didn't like that switch.
Came for a workbench build and stayed for a jointer restoration. Hard to beat a $40 jointer no matter the condition. Great video!
im a new sub longer vids please and more restoration of old machines

Nothings better than a free upgrade. I was looking at the little craftsman before I found this old thing. Hard to beat $40, had to give it a try.

longer detailed video love them
Like the casters, could you drop a link to them?
Btw, 3:04 That's not MDF, that's a particle board. 😉
Thanks for the video.
You need to try and find the pork chop for your joiner.
I finally did find it
8:00 This is why I have a band saw. 🙂
I hate that part, especially if it's oak or beech.
When I get a bigger shop I think the band saw is my first investment
buy a broom and dust pan
Subscribed due to your vacuuming comment.
I enjoyed your method of jointing with the particle board and double sided tape. That tablesaw looks pretty nice, which brand is it?
