Published 24 Jul 2026My hand planes have served me for six decades of daily use, and my #4 Stanley smoothing plane can be bought via eBay for as little as £20.
I advocate that people start with a secondhand version because so much can be learned from the process of restoration. I wanted to explain my choices of planes because they will enable most people to buy them at a lower price than so-called premium planes, yet you will achieve the same results for a fraction of the cost without compromise.
My choices of a handful of planes will democratise woodworking for anyone starting. Enjoy!
