  26. Dave,
  27.  
  28.   I took a woodworking course at North Carolina State University and they
  29. showed us the technique of using the jointer to thickness plane boards over
  30. 3 feet in length.  They had a 12" power jointer and I saw quite a few
  31. people using the jointer instead of one of the thickness planers.  It's not
  32. a technique that I personally use or endorse, but this seems to be a valid
  33. method for thicknessing boards.
