If you do furniture work just use tenon saw and chisel. Cuts finished in same time it takes to run your leads and a good sharp handsaw does as good a cut with far more control.
Slip with a circular and it can totally stuff up the job.
Just my 2 bobs.

Almost snuck out and got grabbed by the earlobe, dragged back inside and told clearly to finish laying the tas oak floorboards in the new entry.  It rained outside anyway so all good

Still got to make some shavings.

I can smell those shavings from here!
A lovely looking low angle plane. ????
Gotta love hand tools, the right hand tool can do almost any job better than the powered 'make do', provided the user knows how to use it.

How good are you with a chainsaw? Should take 1/4 of the time..................
If you mess it up a bit, builders bog is the forgiving tool.

Nothin like a shaving.
