Ever notice that some long, wide boards will simpy not stay moving straight over the cutter when all available hands are busy on the outfeed side?
My only problem with the method being commented upon is that, on long boards, and particularly those that approach the maximum width capacity of the jointer, you often need three hands, two pushing on the outfeed table, and one on the infeed side to guide the stock past the blades.
But, there's hope for the future!
It's been my contention for some time now that evolution will eventually give the wooddorker three hands and two more eyes on the back of his head so no one can sneak up and scare shit out of him whilst attempting to accomplish these often awkward tasks in the shop.
That said, all bets are off if you have an aircraft carrier flight deck jointer, like B A R R Y ' S DJ-20! ;)
