Default Convert a powr planer to a jointer

Having an electric power planer from Ryobi - which I understand is not a
top grade model - but in trying to edge plane 2" thick boards for edge
joining wondering if anyone has attempted to convert their electric
planer such as this into a jointer.
Anyone constructed a table with a fence to accomplish this - seems as
though everything is there to make a jointer except for the table and fence.
Seems odd that lots of router table designs but nothing along these lines.
Or is there a better jig, method for edge planing with the hand tool.
