There are lots of plane irons you can buy. Many of them are cheap and they suck. The good ones are pricey. The good news is that making your own iron isn't very hard and doesn't take long. You just need a heat source, a way to contain it and some oil to quench in. The rest is just careful measuring and timing...oh and not setting your shop on fire.
