I've been interested to read about Krenov planes, so looking for recommendations from anyone who has made or used one, particularly small block plane or smoother. Maybe @thetyreman could help?

I made myself a Krenov style plane a few years ago. I imported a Hock blade for it that takes a good edge.
An interesting project, but it hardly gets used. I find it difficult to adjust compared to standard planes. My Grandfather's old Stanley No4½ is always my first go to.

I can recommend buying david finck's book making and mastering wood planes, you will definitely not regret it, he was actually taught by krenov himself, it's about £30 from classic hand tools but it's one of my favourite woodworking books, if you need any help let me know, the blades are pretty expensive in the uk but my one remains my favourite smoother of all of them, I should really make a few more.
