I made this jointer using the cutter head from my old, broken thickness planer and scrap plywood. The other parts were salvaged or I had them already.
I originally bought the motor to build a new table saw, but used it for this instead. I did have an old pump motor that would have been powerful enough, but it spun the wrong way and was too difficult to reverse. I had the steel for the infeed and outfeed tables for several years, again bought to build a new table saw.
This video is compilation of 11 videos I made while building the jointer 5 years ago. It took me several months to finish, and those videos are spread out over that time.
The jointer has been working problem-free since I built it and gets used regularly.
Here's a playlist for those original videos, if you want more details:

My 9 Project Plan Bundle (LIMITED TIME):
Welcome back John!
I put a Byrd Shelix on my Powermatic P100 12" planer 10 years ago. Hung onto the original head and finally got around to making it into a jointer this year after using an old Beaver 6" jointer forever. Bought a couple pillow block bearings at Grainger, used a 1 1/2 hp induction motor I had laying around. Made pretty much what you made but used Mathias Wandell's parallelogram idea for the infeed. Made the tables to the width of the pillow blocks which allowed me to just use a couple of hanger bolts in the outfeed table for fixing the fence in place. If need be, I can skew the fence for a shearing cut like the old Yates jointers. Works great and fairly quiet. Oh yeah, for the tables I just yellow glued up 3/4" mdf using my flat workbench and about 20 12" pavers to weight it down overnight. After they were dimensioned, I used two coats of epoxy, sanding between and sanded the final coat with 220. Then buffed with wax and finally talcum powder. I can always add metal later if need be.
I have a shelix head in my old Ridgid planer and a motor on my HF blower. I have the plywood and hard maple. Hell, I even have the steel. I think having a 13” helical head jointer in my hobby shop would be serious overkill.
So so happy to see your channel back up and running!!!!!! 🥰
What I appreciate about your design method is you don't get stuck making decisions. You just go for it. Respect!!
I am mesmerized, inspired, intimidated, baffled and a hundred other things all at once. Amazing work!!!!
Wauw!
I need something just like this... I've been thinking about buying a 12" jointer and cutting the infeed and outfeed tables down because I don't need the length. The longest board I need it for is about 24" long. This one looks about perfect for the boards I deal with. This looks great!
welcome back
Watching every one of your videos, I am amazed at your craftsmanship, ingenious solutions and overall competence. It is a pleasure and an honour you share that with us. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, John Heisz. Your videos and projects are always awesome.
I enjoyed traveling back in time to see this built. The music really added to it. I also enjoyed the ambiance music. I don't think this was the first you've used it. Fantastic editing and great video. Thank you!
I bought your plans and started building the deck chair! Thanks John!
Thank you for the bundle John!! Bought them right after the video. This build really has my attention. I have an old craftsman planer I can pull the spindle out of. Just need to grab a motor and I’ll be set to start building!!
I must say I'm always impressed by your ingenuity to create real good working machines mostly from wood with the least amount of complexity.
Really impressed with this build. Came out amazing.
John: I’m semi-retiring
Wishing there were more amazing folks like you, John.
Man I hit those plans hard and fast. I was planning to buy the 7 plan bundle already, but this gave me urgency :)
