Veritas Ball Tail and Tall Front Knob Set. However, steeper cutting angles require more force to push the plane—a challenge for those with small hands or less strength.
The bevel-up configuration of the Veritas low-angle block plane lets you vary the blade angle to suit the task, from low angles for end grain to high angles for figured wood. However, steeper cutting angles require more force to push the plane—a challenge for those with small hands or less strength.
Inexpensive hardwood grips are available that adapt the Veritas low-angle block plane into a small bevel-up smoothing plane, giving the firm hold and greater leverage needed to plane difficult wood. Used with these simple retrofits, the plane works similarly to a #3 smoothing plane for small-scale work, working in tight areas and for use by children or those with small hands or less strength.
The ball tail is a traditional style of rear grip, offered in a set with a tall front knob. Combined with optional blades, they convert the Veritas low-angle block plane into a highly versatile plane that is easy and comfortable to use.

Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
