Place the strips side hy side on the saw horses, and work com-binations whereby the greatest saving of stock will be affected.

Begin with one side, putting all otherstock away. Determine by a plane stroke or two which way the grain rtins in eachpiece, and mark this direction b}^ means of arroAvs, as in Fig. 8. Also,number the adjacent edges. Assuming the position of Fig. 9, carefully run the jointer plane overall edges that come together. Hold it down on the knob, when starting acut, and hard on the handle when finishing. Keep the sides of the planeparallel to the sides of the board being planed. A few strokes should make the edge perfectlj^ straight with the grain,when it should be tested with the try-square to be certain that it is squarewith the surfaces. 22 CEDAR CHESTS When it is straight as to length and square across, lay it aside andplace the edge it is to
