Lee Valley small block plane, a close copy of Leonard Bailey's 1877 "Little Victor" #51 block plane, once advertised as the "perfect tool, useful in house, shop, bank, office and especially in scroll saw work".
A simple, effective tool with an elegant design, it is a great plane for miniature- and modelmakers. For a highly controlled cut on a flat surface, push it with a thumb on the lipped toe while the palm rests firmly on the work, similar to a two-handed paring cut with a chisel.
The investment-cast steel body is accurately machined, with a 45° bed angle and fixed mouth, and a cogwheel screw secures the included 30° bevel O1 blade, 0.085" thick by 1" wide. Both the sole and the working surface of the blade (the 1/2" of the face nearest the edge) are lapped flat within ±0.0002".
At 3 1/8" by 1 1/4" and just under 5 oz, it is truly a pocket plane. Made in Canada.

For children and in school woodwork you need a small plane that is light and fits a smaller hand. Two good choices are:
Veritas Little Victor block plane – a small block plane that is easy to hold and adjust
Veritas inset plane (05P91.01) – a very small plane that also suits finer detail work
Remember that even a small plane needs a sharp blade to be enjoyable, so sharpen it before the children start.
Most products are restocked on an ongoing basis, but delivery times from the manufacturer vary. When an item is out of stock, the button Notify me when available appears on the product page.
Click the button and enter your email address, and we will email you as soon as the item is back in stock. If you are logged in, your email address is registered automatically. If you want to know when the next delivery is expected, you are welcome to contact us.
How often items are restocked depends on the supplier. We receive deliveries from Veritas about once a month, Lie-Nielsen ships in batches and we order from Incra about once a year. You can also add the item to a wishlist in your account, where you can see whether it is in stock.
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.
Low-angle jack planes such as the Lie-Nielsen No. 62 and the Veritas low-angle jack are also popular all-round planes. 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.
