In this short video, furniture-maker Garrett Hack offers a series of tips and techniques that demonstrate how to use a block plane effectively.

Like you, I keep 2 block planes handy. One set fine, the other coarse. I also keep a pair of #6 Stanleys set the same way, as well as a pair of Stanley #4s.
very good advice thank you
I have to admit that I use my small pocket block plane more than I ever use my large block planes.
