I will purchase a jointer if u can
tell me what benefits there are in having one. I have wondered this for
quite some years, and am hoping someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

I am sorry, I do not understand your question. Are you asking what the
purpose of a jointer is? I don't think so; I would imagine someone with
said 20 years of build well knows the purpose of a jointer. Are you
asking if it is right for you? How would we know? You haven't even
listed your needs?

Or are you being "clever" and criticizing those who do use a jointer?

What is the purpose of your challenge?
