i've been grabbing up old stanley planes on ebay and restoring them. the new veritas and certainly the $300+ lie nielsen planes are fantastic but are out of my price range. cleaning these old vintage planes up is a good option at a much lower cost, usually $50-75, sometimes more if they've already been restored. i finally got a stanley #4 1/2 smoother & found a record combo plane with a bunch of cutters both coming soon. the combo was more a bit more at $120 but has tons of options. a new veritas combo plane is $400 with ONE cutter. i've also been watching videos making your own and might take a shot at making a shoulder plane.
i hadn't even used a plane til last summer but wow this is getting addictive.
