That was nice of you DaddyT.
Looking good.
I’m off to the streets of to 25 degrees c in Paris, no woodworking here…
Here a link to the planes I spoke of:

It was not me saying the No. 1 is a letter weight, I read it in a test, where they called it a kids toy but a exelent letterweight for collectors, but for collectors we speak Stanley No. 1. I personally even find my No. 2 too small to be really usefull, but I love it still. I Usually go from no three to a block plane.

(And I would still be a walking smile if I owned a Stanley No. 1, but I think it will be a LN one day).

task were bigger planes or blockplanes can´t make the job as good as number 1, 2 and 3
just like you did with this little nice box

Found the thread, here a answer to the no 1 story:
TOOLS AND TOOL COLLECTING
The lovable little Stanley No. I
Stanley tools represent a major category of collectible tools, and can form the basis for a rewarding and stimulating hobby. One of the most desirable of Stanley tools for the collector is the diminutive Stanley No. 1 bench plane. This tiny, 5-1/2” long plane poses some interesting mysteries for the collector. First, what was it used for? It’s so small-that even a craftsman with a small hand finds it uncomfortable to use. And second, for a tool that was manufactured in abundance over a 73 year period (1870-1943), why should it be so scarce?
As to the first mystery-its size-the explanation is relatively straightforward. These planes were designed for use by elementary school woodworking classes, and were used in the introduction to the proper care and use of woodworking planes.
The second mystery requires a more hypothetical explanation. With the advent of U.S. involvement in W.W. II came the need for scarce raw materials by factories involved in the rapidly increasing war production industries. Those with memories reaching back that far remember that not only were civilians in general involved in paper and fat saving drives, among others, but schools and other institutions also were called on to collect and donate large amounts of scrap material.
The widespread draft also was a factor. Shop teachers, especially at the elementary school level, came into short supply overnight, thus freeing up the tools and materials formerly used in their courses as vital scrap. Since the majority of No. 1 planes produced were to be found in schools, a large number of these planes were absorbed by the wartime scrap drives.
In case you’re thinking of purchasing a Stanley No. 1, be prepared to pay between $400 and $650 for an example in good or better condition. Also be sure to buy from a reputable dealer who will guarantee the plane is genuine.

Here are the link for the discussion:
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?44488-No.-1-Stanley-Plane-Useful-or-Paper-Weight

So it was a school class handplane, and that is then the explanation why the handle is so small.
I understood why they made a small plane, but never understod why they made thet handle so small.
