I started a project some YEARS ago. It's been on a bench for a while one thing led to another and I am only now thinking about getting back to it. It's 2.5" thick Walnut boards. I wonder if I am insane. I got this bug to make a really thick table top for a 9 foot long table in two halves lengthwise. I did the math and at that thickness I should be working with widths around 8" or so. I am just a little unsure about the joining of the boards thing. I know my jointer is good. It's a shellix in a 12" Hammer It does a nice job but I'm still a little shaky about joining such thick lumber. I mean there is no way my pony or bessy clamps will pull anything together. So if the machining isn't absolutely perfect I won't be able to tighten a clamp and squeeze it into place. Am I insane? Should I just go for it and see? The worst that can happen is I won't like it & I'll re-rip it and change something.

So I had to learn how to sharpen some joiner blades today and the manual was decidedly unhelpful… Not saying that this won’t work, it probably will, but that sounds like a job for the “new guy”.

This may be old hat for some but, there are some great tips for even well seasoned wood butchers. https://www.woodmagazine.com/video/how-to-glue-up-boards-perfectly Don't know why it didn't go straight to the video but, it's worth a paste and/or click.
