Don’t be afraid of buying a new block plane if the budget is there, from my experience the Lie-Nielson are good and one doesn’t get overly precious about loss or damage. They make a great couple of rebating planes, too.

It started off as a bit of a novelty, too see if I could actually do it.
As Loonar mentioned, "Nothing like the sound of a sharp plane blade cutting a few thou. off.. "
It is actually quite satisfying and addictive!
