There are a load of youtube videos about the squaring part, so I won't butcher that. As for wonky tables, I used to only have a rickety workmate (well, that's still more than I have now). When I started trying to plane stuff, I would either butt the workmate up against a low wall to provide resistance in the direction I was planing. Or butt the work piece up against the side of my shed, but that doesn't allow you to plane right up to the end. A solid workbench is a godsend for planing. One I won't have for a while it seems.

If I've got some long pieces of 45mmX45mm that are warped on all four sides.
I've got a Stanley no 4 Plane in the post and a very large antique apprentice's plane.
Is it feasible to get it roughly square?
And if so are there any tips or tricks? Thinking especially about clamping. I work on a folding garden table that isn't very stable when doing vigorous stuff on it.
Cheers
