Stanley - Stanley- Sweet Heart 9 1/2 Block Plane
The Stanley Sweet Heart 9 1/2 block plane is well-balanced.

Well-balanced but a little bulky; aluminum lever cap is difficult to engage and you must be careful not to overtighten; sole was flat.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Starrett 4" Double Square
Head is easy to remove, replace, and lock down; narrowest blade, at 5⁄8 in., made it easier to fit into tight places; hard to read under bright lights.
Veritas Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
