If you can only have one plane in your toolbox, make it a low angle adjustable mouth block plane.
This plane is one of the most versatile tools you will ever use. It can smooth surfaces, joint sides, and chamfer edges. Our version features a high carbon tool steel iron. The adjustable mouth and knob make it easy to change from thick/coarse cuts to super-fine smoothing cuts.

It is simply a must-have woodworking tool.
