I am totally clueless when it comes to hand planes but I would like to learn
about them and to use them. There seems to be a thousand different styles.
Is there an assortment of planes that are the most needed and most widely
used to get started? If so could someone steer me in the right direction?

www.supertool.com is a good starting place. Check the Blood & Gore
link. If you have further questions, contact me via e-mail to save
bandwidth or DAGS this NG for planes.
