This tip came in the post today, courtesy of Fine Woodworking: -
"With really small pieces it's often better to clamp the plane in a vice or to hold it upside down in one hand as you push the wood over the blade with the other.
This technique is faster and it's certainly safer than trying to shape small pieces of wood with large machines. It also provides a finer control over the process."
Cheers

NB I took this straight out of Fine Woodworking and I am not condoning the method employed.
