HTN Gordon Planes

They really appear to be wonderful planes. I had been admiring them via the web for a while. Glad your happy with them.

Don
Terry makes some wonderful planes – I have a few, myself :)
Do you have one of his new range with the adjusters?? How do they work?
Oh, and if you check Terrys site he often has planes available is unusual and very beautiful timbers!!
Cheers
Phil

Thanks for the info, Don.

I’ll be honest and say I really don’t get why so many woodworkers are fanatical about planes. I’m not referring to their use, but more so the WWer’s who spend over $100 per plane! I don’t get it. The cheaper ones can get the same results with some tuning. The cheaper ones require more more frequent tuning, though.

Jeff, I think the answer to your quandary is in the use of these planes. Once you’ve used them you you know why woodworkers spend the money and wax lyrical about their merits. Trust me!
Quote Philip Edwards: ”Do you have one of his new range with the adjusters?? How do they work?”

Phil, no, I just learned that Terry had introduced this range. They certainly look interesting. For so many years Terry has been promoting his traditional planes – I wounder why he decided to add these to his range?

Yeah, I’ll buy that Don. I am far from a hand tool woodworker. I’ll admit that I have never taken the time to master many of the larger planes. I use a small block plane fairly often, but there is less of a learning curve with the tiny planes. Maybe I’ll find a buddy with a nice plane and learn what’s up myself!

I have a couple of Lie-Nielson planes. Nothing like quality tools. You just have to try them yourself. I wish I could afford a few of these as well. Going to try Phils method of getting good plane. Before long I am hoping to make a few.
