I was reading Mark Duginski's book on tool setup for the jointer, something popped into my head.
Anyone ever seen a jointer bed that was not a sold surface? Maybe some sort of open diamond pattern or a "grate". Something like what I see on some table saw wings.
In my "so called mind", I'd think it'd be easier to flatten and reduce the issues around warping/twisting.
Just curious, I have no planes to build my own jointer
