OK...

Im looking into getting a (Hand) Plane... but I've seen block and bench
planes. Which one would be the way to go for a first timer? What's the
difference in the two? Im gonna be doing hand dovetail/box jointery as well
as some 'common' woodworking projects.

If you're asking what type of plane will be more useful in joinery
tasks, I'd say a block plane over a bench plane.

I think I should add that a bench plane will serve you better if the
type of joinery you envision is gluing up boards for panels.

Cheers,
Mike
