About HNT Gordon

After several years of development H.N.T. Gordon and Co Classic Plane Makers of Australia sold their first woodworking hand planes in 1995. They are a family business that produces a range of hand crafted woodworking planes for the person with craftsmanship in mind. In 2007 HNT Gordon released the A55 smoothing and trying planes bringing their impressive range of planes up to 14 in total (including the Aussie Jack and Block Kit Planes).

Terry Gordon is the head Planemaker and owner of the business and the following statements outline his business principles.

• `Any plane we make will be able to plane or scrape any wood without
tearout.

• We will only use high quality materials with a simple appropriate design to offer customers affordable quality in tools.

• We 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. When Terry and staff are attending the Woodshows, the showroom may not be open every day. Please call ahead or email us prior to your visit to ensure a representative is available.
