I am building a dresser with 6 drawers and each drawer has red oak trim
around all four edges. I can put up a picture on apbw but I don't think you
would need to see anything to give me some advice.

I need to remove a small amount of trim (up to 1/8" in a couple of cases -
usually less than that). I believe a plane would be the right tool to use
rather than a sanding block and sandpaper. The only plane I own is a 40 year
only monster from Sears. I have looked on the web and in this newsgroup
history via google but I can't find any resource that can give some advice
on what kind of plane to buy. Can you either point me at a good on-line
resource so I can read about this or can you give some advice based on your
own experience?

TIA.
