Last December, I stumbled upon a Craigslist post for a Powermatic Planer for CHEAP-ish, yet expensive for being completely rusted out. The seller was located just a few hours away-- a drive I was willing to make for a tool I knew would be worth the investment. The seller gave us the full address the day before the trip. Joke’s on us because the address was located two hours further away on the border between Arkansas and Missouri. Still worth it. Once my Dad and I arrived, the seller walked us to an open air barn and presented to us a Model 100 Powermatic Planer full of rust, yet still capable of milling a board. We claimed it ours and made the trip home where I spent the next two months restoring the planer, affectionately named VASH, to its former glory. A few things before you go: We have a newsletter!
