    Ok. Thanks Ben!

But investing in a good one will pay off in the long run.
    Yes there are Retailers of course, Block Planes arent common here at all I've never seen one in any company or workshop i've been in Austria is Powertool and Machine Land in regards to Furniture making. A Good tool will pay of yes but if you dont have the budget that doesnt help the Veritas PMV11 Apron plane would cost me about 100€ the Dictum or Juuma about 20€ cheaper though i barely have any idea about the quality of the latter 2.
    I need to think on this some more.

    By far the hand tool I use the most is a Japanese Razor Saw for trimming off just a hair. Chisels and planes are also useful for this kind of work.

    One hand tool you all left out is a rasp. I have two, a big aggresive rasp with a handle and a smaller rasp flat on one side and curved on the opposite side.

    See this link.
