What on Earth did three people see to give this video a thumbs down? This is a craftsman working at a level that’s very sadly fading away. All done by hand with power tools being used twice but not with automation. You also showed how a true master uses his eye. I wish my father and his father were alive to see you work. Thank you very much for making this video.
Sat watching this with moist eyes because I know that I have just watched a master at work and I will never get that good. You sir are a true master, I would of liked closer views and to hear you talk.
Hi Roger, it is really nice to know we stired your emotions, thank you for letting us know. As we get better at making videos we will endeavour to add comments as we go. It does add another dimension which is tricky to get right. Regards Terry
An outstanding and informative video despite the refreshing lack of verbal commentary. Your planes are truly functional items of beauty. I'll own some one day. Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship.
Really enjoyable and interesting to see the process and how you work. I own 8 of your planes and always marvel at their design and use, and wonder how they came to be. We're lucky to have you and producing such amazing tools and keeping the tradition alive. Much of my inspiration and passion for woodworking is drawn from your hand planes.
Hi Terry, We did make it ourselves for plane making about 6 years ago and have been testing its reliability etc. We have made 4 more prototypes with improvements from the first one and we have been testing them for about 6 months now and it is all good. We are just starting our first production run which will be released in mid Oct. If you are interested let us know and we can put you on a list to be contacted once they are made, but with no commitment to buy.. Our email is planemaker@hntgordon.com.au. We estimate they will be about AU$1500, but will confirm the actual price once we have made the first batch. Regards Terry
@@felixriestra7929 we have a tilting jaw that can be used with this pattern vice or our front vice to hold round or odd shaped objects. The link to this is here: hntgordon.com.au/collections/bench-vices-clamps/products/tilting-vice-jaw
Very nice work! I am making a Rabbet plane right now and after testing it works great. This has given me some ideas to incorporate into my plane. Thanks for posting your work.
9:04 - I call it 'the craftsman's squint' -- that expression people get when checking if something is 'just so'. Found in workshops all over the world, apparently :-) I'm saving up to buy one of HNT Gordon's smoothers - for those properly ornery woods. Best regards from a Norwegian woodworker.
Hi Gordan! I love plain.I amazin your work! Congratulation! I I bought one, she's 50 years old, I'm going to restore. I hope it stays perfect like yours. Thanks for sharing. Lourenco Brazil
Sorry for the late response - we manufacture these pattern makers vices. The link to it on our website is here - hntgordon.com.au/collections/bench-vices-clamps/products/pattern-makers-vice We also do a bench vice and tail vice which can be seen via our website here - hntgordon.com.au/collections/bench-vices-clamps If you need any more info let us know.
This was an absolute joy to watch. Wonderful workmanship, and beautiful tools. What do you use for the inlay of the lettering? Is that brass powder with epoxy or something? Thanks! Harrie
Hi Harrie The HNT Gordon that is stamped in the end grain is filled with the standard Linseed oil putty that they use when fitting glass to wooden framed windows. Its easy to apply and lasts for ever. Thanks for the compliment on the video. happy wood working. Regards Terry
I've never heard of that putty before, will look into it, thanks! Are you mixing the putty with brass powder or some other sort of pigment to get that cool gold color? I was thinking of applying this technique for signing my furniture. At the moment I'm using a burn stamp, which is fine, but the gold inlay is a whole other level of cool.
Hi Harrie The gold colour can vary with the wood used in the body. Gidgee does have a yellowish colour when it bleeds a little. That is probably where the goldish colour is coming from when the putty mixes with the tanins from the wood. When we use ebony the putty turns a greyish colour due to the ebony. I think you can buy coloured putty which may be helpfull to you, but I'm not sure where you can get it from. Regards Terry
Great job. What is the tool you using at 16:28? Look like big metal scraper, just hollow ground on the front face. If I'm not wrong, you use a similar one just smaller, on 8:52
Hi, both of those tools are High Speed Steel (HSS) scrapers, just different widths to suit certain tasks. They are basically sharpened with a 90 -100 degree edge on worn out sand paper on a disc sander. Easy to sharpen but it only stays sharp for a short period, very efective for scraping beds and the outside of the body to a perfect finish. Hope that helps. Regards Terry
i,m having breathing problems because i didn,t bother with good extraction. i wish the dangers could have been stressed to me,sorry terry it did sound a bit cheeky , think your a great craftsman i apologise again
We are testing this vice as a prototype and if successful we will probably make them to sell. But it may be some time away and couldn't give you a date. Regards terry
Thanks Terry for this video. It was nice to see the process from log to finished product that my planes went thru…. David W

Truly amazing craftsmanship. I have a whole new appreciation for my planes.
Thanks Shane.

Craftsmanship at its best
Fantastic how much hand work goes into these. The time and skill involved totally justify the price.

That vise is most awesome I’ve seen! So versatile.

Definitely this vise is like nothing out there. I just maybe will add a groove to support round pieces.

Great title.
What floats do you recommend as a starter set to make wooden planes?
That vice is awesome!!! Is there anything you can tell me about it? Did you make it? Any plans available?

It's plaesure to watch how you making planes :) Btw 16:17 what kind of pigment do you use?
That is just the old lindseed oil putty that you would use when glassing a window. Stays there forever.
Regards Terry

Hello, Please expand on your comment as I'm not sure what you are asking about. Regards Terry
i,m having breathing problems because i didn,t bother with good extraction. i wish the dangers could have been stressed to me,sorry terry it did sound a bit cheeky , think your a great craftsman i apologise again
I want your vice.
We are testing this vice as a prototype and if successful we will probably make them to sell. But it may be some time away and couldn't give you a date.
Regards terry
I would guess that that's kinda a chinese style hand plane.
SO THIS YOUNGSTER HAND BUILD'S ALL HIS PLANES N R NOT MASS PRODUCE 🤔🤔🤔🤔
