I'm again teaching a paddle carving class starting in the middle of January. Looking for decent block planes that don't break the bank, since I'll need like a half dozen. Anyone found a good place to get these? I've got the tiny finger planes and they work great for the small details but take too long to remove stock, need something that the non-woodworker can use quickly to remove stock in a hurry and still be relatively cheap. I might make enough $ on the class to pay for the planes if they are cheap, it's not a money maker by any stretch :)
