This is one concern keeping me from making a multi-piece body blank. I don't mind spending some dough on wider bar clamps, but can't justify any expenses on extra machinery.
You don't "need" a jointer for stuff like that. Many manage just fine with either the right blade on a table saw /circular saw, or failing that, a jointing plane. If you realy feel the need for power tools, there are several You Tube vids about turning an electric plane into a jointer.
