Default How do you use a Joiner Plane?

I do very little woodworking. However I'm
planning on making something that requires doing
some joining.

I've been looking at purchasing a joining plane.
But there is one aspect I haven't been able to get
a handle on. That is keeping the plane at a 90
degree angle to the side. I was planning on using
1" stock - which is what, maybe 7/8" in actuality.



You can clamp a couple of pieces together for a wider base, you can just use
the plane and check it from time to time with a square or you can get one of
these

Something I've seen people use that does about the same thing is make a
small L-shaped fence from scrap plywood, and attach it to the bottom of
the jointer plane w/ small C-clamps. 'course, for $30, it might just be
quicker and easier to order the Veritas fence and not have to fiddle as
much
