What is the best hand tool for rounding edges and creating long sliding dovetails?

Thank you very much Derek. This is a very interesting idea. I will try to find #79 plane somewhere on Ebay.

There is also a very good copy by Veritas (but good luck trying to find one in stock at the moment though) also Rutlands carry a Quangsheng one I think.

Thank you very much for the link. This plane is not a priority for me at the moment, but you have shown me a new UK shop which I did not know before. I can look up some good stuff there. Can you please give me tips on other good woodworking shops in UK or Europe?

I know Axminster tools,Workshop heaven and Classic hand tools in UK and Dictum and Fine-tools in Germany.

Thank you.
