You left out the best option: Use somebody else's jointer.<br><br>If you have a maker space near you, sign up for a month and mill a bunch of your boards all at once. And, ya know, make friends and stuff.

Alternative methods are useful. I’ve used them for years. But the jointer was one of the best tools I ever purchased, hands down.

Step 1: Make sure you have enough space in your workshop for a jointer.

at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPx9ZjWyyCc&t=766">12:46</a> the quick cut from the spinning table saw to you just casually hitting the (stationary) blade with your hand sure was disconcerting

I subscribe to the school of thought that you can't have too many big woodworking machines to make your woodworking the most efficient, accurate and enjoyable as it can be. I have both an 8" jointer and 20" planer for getting my lumber straight, flat and uniform in thickness, plus an 18/36 Delta drum sander.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPx9ZjWyyCc&t=422">7:02</a> youtube woodworkers love calling everything a "scrap piece". that shit is a big piece of melamine, not something you'd find in your scrap bin
