One other plug for making a scrub plane.

I have one of the little horned ECE scrub planes, which I really like.
But the one use the most (and which works the best) is an old, beat-up
woodie jack plane.

It came with a wide open mouth.  I put a bit of radius on the
nice, thick blade; and now it hogs off wood with the best of them.

The best part is it's hard to beat the price on these things.  (As I recall,
I got mine as part of a box lot, so it was next to nothing.  But it shouldn't
be too hard to find your dream scrub for well under $10.)
