Hello there

I usually work on small pieces in my garage but I am getting frustrated anymore at how long it takes me to straighten some of the lumber I work on.
now I am getting ready to get either a jointer/planer or a thickness planner and I am definitely confused on what to get first since I have the budget for only one.
I am sure this question get asked many times but I could not find an answer while searching in the forum.
do you guys know of any cheap jointer/planer or Thickness planner deals ? -after doing some research at the local HD and Lowes I found that ryobi has a $199 planner that seems to have ok features for the money and have ok reviews but I haven't looked really for any jointer deals.

Thanks in advance
