: I would suggest your local antiques shop. Around here you can pick
: up a serviceable low-angle block plane for under $10. If you go
: to the Fine Woodworking web site there is an article about
: finding and tuning old tools from about 3 years ago by Matthew
: Teague in issue 180. It's a subscription site, but they'll give
: you a free trial. If you search my name there is more
: information on getting started without spending a ton of money.

Don't forget Ebay. You do have to know what you're looking for and what a realistic price is though.

I just looked at: Stanley Plane and there were 7 pages of them currently.
