Home made jointer guard

[Darcy Warner]

The original sac looks like the old style surety guards.

I really liked the fold backs ones, love the one hanging off the martin.

Warrens pictures showed some vintage European machines with the fold up guard. I had a chance to try one of these in Germany last year. They are functional when set and out of the way in all positions But like most guards don't cover the cutter head while facing. The owner of this shop did all his S4S work on this J/P in the early days of his business. I asked if I could try it and one of the shop hands said you will be sorry. I believe it was the loudest planer I have ever heard.

Here is another vintage jointer I used in the Bhutan furniture shop. It is a Danish made machine and very solid. This guard was functional and adjusted fairly easy. I think they may have cut the cover short or perhaps had a longer one for facing.
