I’m going to go look at this 4” Dunlop 103.0501 jointer. Seller wants $25 and another $25 for a working motor. Seems like a good deal to me. I see it doesn’t have a fence, any ideas on how difficult it will be to make an accurate fence for this? I really only need it now to face some rough cut...

This weekend I came home and the thermostat was off, so I went to the unfinished basement where the panel is, the AFCI was tripped.

I’m putting up a 30x44 garage with useable 14x44x8 attic space. I’m putting a slider on the back 30’ gable wall. Plan to put a small deck off that, with stairs that go to the ground for access rather than take up floor space in the garage. If any of you have done this, could you share photos...
