Work right now is governed by how this thumb feels.....I don't want to work in the shop while on painkillers like Percocet....don't feel like losing any of MY parts...
Tried the Stanley No. 8.....could not get a good enough grip on it. When with the Ohio Tool Co. 0-7 instead..

At least I could get a grip on this one. One edge needed a LOT of trips with the plane...the other edge..not so much..

Set that plane aside, clamped the stile to the bench's top, between the dogs. Had a groove to do..

Then trace the foot pattern and cut out the waste. Then some cleanup

I wound up clamping both stiles together. Beltsander to make the two match a bit better, then a little more clean up.
While the two were all clamped up, I used both a square, and the rails, to transfer where they will go onto the other stile....mortises and all....

A few dry fits....Panels were marked and crosscut for length....yes, I only got two done...

Thumb started hurting a bit too much....that was the end of the "heavy work" for the day
I could, however mark a few things for the next adventure in the shop....Have the rest of the panels marked for length, and a couple for width.
Tinner's Rule to mark the last two stiles as to where they need planed to.....wonder what Dummy made all them wavy cuts, anyway.

So, until either the pill wears off, or the thumb feels better, will be enough for one trip to the shop, for now..stay tuned
