If I were you I would definitely get the LV LABP, I got one, and it
is really nice quality. But also check out eBay for a nice looking
Stanley #5 jack plane (avoid the color maroon, dreadfull, blue is
okay), you'll need that, and you can upgrade the blade with a Hock
or LV A2 or HCS steel blade (easier to sharpen than A2). That's
the basics, then there's tuning the #5.
