Paul Having made (marine) blocks, I can’t imagine that any steps needed a unique plane to accomplish. Recently there was posted an 1696 wooden window sign of a Dutch block maker, and on that sign were several carved workers, one of them shaping a block with an axe. I was involve in this discussion somewhere a few years ago, and someone presented evidence that “blocking” was an operation to square up pieces?? and this small plane was developed for that.
