well i might just have a line on an older 16" jointer

it may take a while to find out what he wants for it
i will post some pic when i can get some shots of it
and some better information

Pictures will be very interesting.

this is a stock photo of one just like it off of QWWM.com
i sure this one is a 5 foot table and the one im looking at is a 7 foot table and 16" cutter on it
it has number 99 on the base which this one doesnt have on it or atleast what i can see

What do you think it will weigh?

And are you going to refer to it as "the aircraft carrier?"

well from the small amount of reasearch i have done it weighs around 1100 pounds or so
i think
and yes if i get it i will rename it the USS kameljoe21 aircraft carrier and give it a nice paint job to boot
this is not a bad idea to redo in this type setting
this would be pretty kewl
great idea
now all i need to do it start working with the guy to let me get it
he is still unsure if he wants to get rid of it as he want to use it to make gun stocks, but hasnt done anything with it since he got it

Double check your shop floor...

you mean cause of the wood floors
as of right now it wont go in there i have another shop ( at another location closer to town ( his shop and my shop are about 7/8 of a mile apart) in which i will put this if he ever decides he wants to give it up
my other shop has a very large house on it and the people who were living in it moved a while back and we have been cleaning and redoing some stuff in it and i have been thinking about moving there , i rent the shop right now and i think i will rent the house as well and move there its about twice as big as my house now around 3500 square feet vs my small 1500 right now
the only thing i will miss out here is the old homestead house, but i might take it or most of it.... heheh

I am dismantling a S.A. Woods No. 99 joiner. I am keeping the base but have removed the tables and cutting head. If anyone could use these parts email me. I hate to see them go to scrap.
