I have a cheap Silverline No4 bench plane that I though originally was total garbage but then watched the Paul Sellars video on restoring planes and followed most of what he was doing (sharpening the blade, cleaning up the body, taking off sharp edges where they would cause a nuisance etc) and now it's more than adequate for my capabilities.
