I'm definitely going to give it another go on the stone. This was just practice and I could definitely do a better job. I might make an angle block to to help keep the right shape for the edge. I was happy with the ribbons I was getting on the "correct" grain, so that's a start. I imagine solid wood would have been even better.
I do need to curtail my buying. If I spot a block plane in a charity shop or stupid cheap, then I'll pick one up.
I get what you mean about the one handed use too. Also, setting that one up is a pain in the balls.

If you haven't already tried stropping the edge of your plane & chisels, I'd highly recommend it.
