Planer-Jointer - Part 2

Originally I planned to do all sorts of ways of lifting this device.

Today I realized the right thing isn’t to lift it, but to have the ground do the lifting for me. By that I mean using leverage to get the job done.

Using a lever, for instance, is a way to transfer weight around. Many times, that force is directed into the ground.

So I have some block and tackle in case I need it, but I think that Pete and I won’t really have to lift more than maybe 100 pounds any time tomorrow. 🙂
