After several years of
development H.N.T. Gordon and Co Classic Plane Makers of
Australia sold their first planes in 1995. They are a
small family business that produces a range of hand
crafted woodworking planes for the person with
craftsmanship in mind. In 2002 HNT Gordon released a ½"
Shoulder plane bringing their impressive range of planes
up to 10 in total.
Terry Gordon is the
Planemaker and owner of the business and the following
statements outline his business principles.
- Any plane I make will be able to plane or scrape
any wood without tearout.
- I will only use high quality materials with a
simple appropriate design to offer customers
affordable quality in tools.
- I offer a unconditional guarantee on my
workmanship and materials.
Terry says - Making high
quality products that last a lifetime makes him feel he
is contributing to the health of the environment as too
often today we are seeing cheap poor quality imported
products ending up as landfill in Australia after only a
short period of service. This is not good for our
environment.
We are now in a new
workshop with a show room in ALSTONVILLE, northern NSW.
The showroom will be open to woodworkers to try HNT
Gordon planes and view planes being made.
All planes will be
available for sale and visitors will be able to hand
pick the plane of their choice. Other related
accessories for hand planes will also be available. The
showroom is generally open Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm.
