    Jointer Technique

    I've noticed that my jointer technique is really in the toilet recently. It seems that recently... no matter what I try to do, I seem to make nice wedges out of what I am trying to flatten out. I'm pretty certain, I've done it right in the past. I'm also pretty certain I'm not now. I know...
