Electric Planer jig - turning a planer into a thicknesser (almost) #woodjigs21

This is my entry for #woodjigs21. The basic premise of this jig was that I wanted to turn my electric planer into something closer to being a thicknesser. I’d bought this planer when I couldn’t find the timber I wanted and had to settle for rough sawn timber, and thought I could plane it to make the timber useful. What I didn’t take into account, because I hadn’t researched it enough, was that as the planer wasn’t wide enough it would leave lines, and that no matter how hard you tried there would still be a lot of sanding left to do. Since that project i’ve been fixated on looking for a solution, and finding more uses for my planer, so it isn’t left on a shelf and forgotten about. I suppose that’s what’s great about a jig, it can often give a tool more uses that it’s original design. I’d like to have a crack at turning it into a jointer at some point too. The jig still needs some refinement, but i’ll work on that in time, i’d got a lot of inspiratio
