48 - Small Block Plane / No. 4 Style Plane!
There’s a point where sanding alone won’t fix uneven edges or tear out, and that’s when I reach for a small block plane or No.4-style plane. It lets you shave thin layers with full control—great for smoothing edges, leveling glue joints, and dialing in door fits. For under $50, it’s a finish-quality upgrade that shows immediately.
Pros
- +Shaves thin layers for controlled surface correction
- +Great for leveling glued joints and smoothing edges
- +Improves surface quality beyond what sanding can do
Cons
- -Requires setup and sharpening to perform well
- -Takes practice to avoid tear out on tricky grain
