I agree. You are trying to do something for which you don't have the right tools. Look in your phone book for a local cabinet shop or a lumber yard that does mill work. That joint needs to be perfect. If you aren't already fluent in hand planes and hand saws, this is not the project for you to learn on.
If I'm understanding what the guys intend correctly, I don't think the sled idea will work either. That table looks more than twice as wide as a contractor saw's vertical depth of cut. And even if you can make 2 passes from opposite sides, I'd be concerned about getting both cuts perfectly aligned/flush. This just looks like a job for a big commercial tablesaw or a slider.
