I'm trying to edge join the two boards for my bench top. Each board is
80" x 3 1/2" x 7". They're big and I need to join the 3 1/2" edges.

Something like this might work?

I don't have one. If I want to do work like that one time only, I
take it to someone who already has the tools, and there are two
sources around here.

If you're going to suggest expensive tools....why not just use a jointer?
The following 16" jointer costs about as much as what you suggested and
has about twice the length (since the shaper fence is only half the length
of the table).
