Recently, Jay (JaysCustomCreations) posted a video demonstrating a way to joint a board wider than the jointer and then used a 'spacer' to run it through a planer...awesome idea and it worked great in the other videos I saw using a similar method.
So, I had a need for an 8" wide board the other day, have an antique (ok, '70's) Craftsman 6" jointer and thought: "Sweet, I know how to do this" and proceeded to make an 8" wedge. My jointer has an infeed table that is wider than the outfeed and is also wider than the opening for the blades...
So, any other methods to trick my jointer into flattening a wider board? I have done the 'rip it, joint it, glue it' and can still, but if there's an alternative I'd love to hear about it.
