Yep, me too ET. The Stanley version here is about $8 or $9 but the cheap Harbor Freight one while not quite as pretty for $5 works just as well on strips.

:-)
What are you guys talking about? I couldn't see the tool clearly in eT's picture.
Thanks!

I have some small inexpensive planes in my collection which I sometimes use for bevelling and trimming strips...things like these:

They work fine, but the easier blade adjustment and larger blade (making sharpening easier) of the apron plane is an advantage for me.
BTW, most of those smaller planes can benefit IMO from having the edges knocked off on your belt sander (trick from the luthier world to avoid nicking soundboards when planing braces....) .
