You're taking off a lot in one pass on that edge jointing! What's the power rating on that motor?!
You seem to have the right technique (i.e. letting the knives flatten some of the board and then transferring your pressure to the outfeed table and feeding it through), but that being said, the boards here seem to get more warped when you put them through the machine. Is it out of whack? If so, you should get the tables flattened...it seems to work well other than that.
@GamingDrummer89 The machine is has a 7 1/2 hp motor. This video is when I first hooked up the machine. I had the tables milled flat but that must have relieved a lot of stress because the tables then warped and cracked. Upon further inspection I noticed that the ribs on the bottom side of the table have no fillets on them. Anyone who knows casting knows a fillet adds a lot of strength. I've also shimmed the cutterhead to square it up and changed pulley diameters for a lower safer surface speed
haha nice. our school has two on efrom the 80's that sounds like a squirls stuck it it and one made in 1948 called "Oliver" nice machines but they sure make a mess of your fingers when if they get sucked in...
You need to work on your technique a little. During the first face jointing, the board had a pronounced bow, but you pressed it flat against the table, thus defeating the purpose of the jointer. During the edge jointing, you kept the weight on the infeed table to long before you rocked it to the outfeed, leaving a v-shape in the edge of your board. Not trying to be critical, but just trying to help.
I think it may just look like I am pressing the board against the table. I understand the principle behind the machine completely. As far as the edge jointing I noticed what you are seeing about the end of the board rising. That is improper techique. Once the knives have cut a datum on the edge of the board pressure must be maintained at that point to keep the rest of the cut in plane. This video is more to demonstrate the machine than how to actually use it. Also the outfeed table is warped.
Nice machine, I have a 1950 Northfield that I restored. One thing I noticed is that you are not using a push block on the board, but your bare hands. This is VERY dangerious on a jointer. ONE slip and your hand is in the cutter head which also has no guard.
Push blocks were one of the first things I made once I got her running. This has been the only time I've used bare hands to face joint a board on this jointer.

No bridge guard over the cutter block! Taking risks guards should be the first thing you restore not the last! You only get one set of fingers!

looks like your outfeed table is lower than your cutter blades in the last pass. are you getting snipe?
