HART 7-inch Block Plane

So i decided to use this to make a homemade picture frame. After getting it all set up properly & the wood clamped down, I attempted to use it. I didnt have the blade 100% secured, fixed it and began again. After fixing it, it was a breeze to use. All the plane needed was to be set up,& then a little muscle behind it. It went flawlessly without any divets or splintering. I decided to use basic 1 inch untreated wood. It was a little rough maneuvering it, but it probably had something do with the wood itself. However the cuts were precise, and everything turned out nice and even.

Decent little tool for what I needed it for - knocking a 1/4th of an inch off my wood gate after it expanded from rain and wouldn’t close. Took a little while to figure out how best to use and adjust the blade to a good spot. Once I got it down I was able to use one hand while holding the gate door stable with the other. That was pretty much what I was looking for from this type of tool and it worked so 5 stars.
