Hi guys,

I know I am being lazy, and can probably find my answer somewhere out 
there on the web, but hopefully someone can give me a relatively quick 
answer.

What are the different kinds of hand planes and what are they used for?  I 
have seen the terms jack plane, block plane, bench plane, smoothing plane. 
I think that there is some overlap in how these are used.  Also, there are 
the different numbers, like a #4 plane and #5 plane.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
