Always good to hear your views! I have almost all the planes you mentioned, bar the Rebate and Jack - I have a spoke shave to (…does that count as a kind of plane…..?😳). 🥰🥰🎸🎸🍷🍷
I got a Vintage Sergeant #6 after watching your shooting board/Top Jointing Video. I just ordered myself a Vintage Stanley #7, again on your suggestion. That pretty much completes my collection. I now have #3, 2-#4's, 2-#5's, #6, #7, Block planes And a couple of thumb planes. I should already be on the list for one of your new planes and I can't wait. Love the channel brother. Thank you for all the info!!✌️🤍
Always interesting to here what others use. Personally, I'm finding a no3/no4 is not so great for scarf joints; I prefer a 4 1/2 and 5 1/4(Millers Falls no 10 and 11 in my case). 4 1/2 gives more width and the 5 1/4 gives more length in a very compact size making it easy to control. For shooting board, I think a no 6 is excellent and for acoustic tops I like a Stanley A6 specifically. Denser woods are better with the standard no 6. Squirrel Tail plans, both flat and curved are useful and I like the Stanley 9 1/2 block plane. Not a fan of low angle planes. Cool that every can get good results with tools that they relate to, no right or wrong ways of making guitars!
Do you need more planes? Of course you do 😄. Maybe a cabinet scraper n.80 could be useful for particularly difficult grain, instead of sharpening "normal" planes every 5 minutes. A 62 is quite useful especially if you have limited number of planes. I have a dictum one with 3 blades - quite cambered one for scrub work, low angle for shooting board and a 40 degree for difficult grain. Before i got other plains the multiple blade options have been really helpful. I don't have lot of experience (about 2 years in hand tool woodworking, just started my first guitar) but i have noticed that plane soles move after you flatten them and the vintage ones more then new. But i don't know if that is normally the case. Another thing - learn to sharpen ( whatever method you want to use), spend weeks if necessary to "get it", otherwise is all frustration.
I have a few planes 3 or four different block planes, A No4 Vintage Stanley, a Low angle modern Stanly plane, A jack plane do not remember the brand It may also be a modern Stanly and A Stanley N0. 7
No6 plane is generally a scrub plane. No7 is a bit big for guitars. 5 1/2 and a good block plane is what you need to start off with., Never used a smoothing plane on a guitar build anywhere in 40 odd builds. I'm an acoustic guitar maker so no neck throughs or really long timber to plane
I’m currently making all the tools needed for guitar building. Especially finger planes. This video is absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing. 🤘🏻

I have the Axminster Apron Plane (about 2/3 the size of a 9 1/2) which is great for quick, easy chamfers 😉
