I have a 10" table saw that I use for ripping boards and boo to width, a 10" bandsaw that I use for a variety of projects, a drill press that gets some use, and a table top belt sander that I spend hours with on every bow. I pre-taper cores and prepare boo on the belt sander. What should I buy next? I'm thinking of a jointer. What says the gang?
I was thinking of something like this after watching Buckley's build-a-long.

joiner... I just got dean's dvd and I'll be darned if its not the next tool i get!!!
Unless you are really good at sharpening and setting the blades on a jointer you will find it will chatter down your wood or bamboo and will often cause a knot on osage to splinter. I use my jointer for rough wood removal but finish stuff on a belt sander.
