Am I lucky or what? I have been helping my son-in-law do some work on the house they just bought, and he loves to work with wood, so I just happened to mention that I was looking at some joiners and planers for my next major purchases but it would be somewhere way down the road. When I showed up the next day he opened the back of his truck and said look what I got for you.
That beautiful man had gone to Home Depot and bought a Ridgid JP06101 jointer/planer. The exact one I would have bought. To top it off he said later he is getting me a Thickness planer... I haven't been that excited since I was a kid at Christmas.
Sorry to be so long winded but I just had to tell someone.

It sounds to me like he is very pleased with the assistance you have been giving on the house project. I am very happy for you.

Hi George

son-in-law

Would you like to trade I have one that's likes to drink a bit to much .
I would pay the shipping charge,I'm sure I could get him on the plane on a Friday night just after work.
Tell you what , give him a try out and then lose my number

So true BJ. Her first was a real dud but I think she made up for it with this one.
