Jointer
A jointer (also known in the UK and Australia as a planer or surface planer, and sometimes also as a buzzer or flat top) is a woodworking machine used to produce a flat surface along a board's length.
The jointer derives its name from its primary function of producing flat edges on boards prior to joining them edge-to-edge to produce wider boards. The use of this term probably arises from the name of a type of hand plane, the jointer plane, which is also used primarily for this purpose.
Design
Fundamentally, a jointer consists of two long, narrow parallel tables in a row with a cutter head recessed between them. This cutter head is typically driven by an electric induction motor. (Older machines were driven b belts from line shafts.) A moveable fence is normally set perpendicular to the tables, though some may be adjusted to various angles.
The two tables are referred to as the infeed (table from which the work piece is fed into the machine) and outfeed (table to which the work piece is fed as it leaves the machine). The work piece to be planed flat is placed on the infeed table and passed over the cutter head to the outfeed table.

Summer Night In Seattle
by: Jenna DreyAnother magical day
The sun reflects on your face
Your eyes they sparkle like the clear blue sky.
The breeze is calling our name
You wrap your arms around my waist
I rest my head on your shoulder, you hold me till the world stops spinning
Whisper close, and as the sunset fades
This feeling that takes over me is like a sudden rush of Ecstasy
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
And when the winter's begun
Our hearts stay warm as the sun
Just like the evergreens, our love doesn't fade,
It lasts forever.
Close my eyes, and as the snowflakes fall
The memories all rush back to me like a never-ending fantasy.
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
