After a LONG time of nothing in the shop,,,wasn't feeling all that great. Decided to try ONE HOUR in my shop..and see how things go....before the cramps and spasms start up, again...had 4 blanks to surface ....and 4 square...before any joinery could be attempted...
2 sides..

That needed their edges jointed..

Run those edges against the rip fence, to get the other edges parallel...maybe a swipe or 2 to smooth things out..

Just your basic set....chisel as a lay out tool?

Had to set the finger spacings, to match the chisel that will do the chopping
