You are not the only one with planing troubles!
As Dave said, the Robert Wearing book is very good. I find it to be closely related to Paul’s methods.(I actually want to do the coffee table project and incorporate Wearing’s book on it.) He does have some valuable tips on planning. He talks about using a cambered jack plane iron to fix out of square. I find that easier to do corrections than the straight iron of the number 4.
I think my next project I will rely more on the cambered iron of the jack plane and see how I fare. I actually thought about picking up another #4 at the flea market and putting a cambered iron like the jack plane.
