Hi Folks,
Have you noticed that some lovely sets of H&S chisels have been going up on the HNT Gordon website and selling very fast? Similar things happening on sites in the USA that are agents for...

I just wanted to thank Ray and Josh for getting these chisels to me today. They look great and I look forward to dressing them up and putting them to use. The thread started nearly 11 years...

Thanks Derek...I do like your solution very much. The Tetris is going to be fun.

Thanks IanW...these are the uses...I bring back the bling once each year. I do have other tools that are a little more rustic but these do show a few signs of use. I love your solutions.

Here we are a few years down the track and still no chisels.
I am more than a little frustrated by all of this. I know things go pear shaped but this is just frustrating.
Ray? Thumbsucker?

If you only knew...

Hi Ian,
I agree about the need for finger room between the tools. These pics are more the general groupings at this stage.
The Clenton try squares with 12-15mm between each, still deciding if each...

I’ve been off these forums for some time but I’m back now.
Over the years I’ve been collecting a few tools and been learning a thing or two about using them. I’ve yet to build the for ever home for...

Ask Mike at heritage Saw in Melbourne.
They have a source for their saws and have lots of secondhand and brand new saws right here in Melbourne.

Today I received some of the Chisels I ordered a good few years ago. Trents work still impresses me. I have always hoped that H&S would make a come back and again be producing his fantastic products....

I would not buy this stuff in my current situation. Most of the tools were purchased/ordered many years ago and I'd just get them as they come up on the production schedule or not. The US/AU exchange...

Over the years I have been blessed in being able to obtain some amazingly beautiful and functional tools from tool makers here in Australia and from all corners of the world. I will be offering up...

Just friendly bump just to keep these things fresh in our thoughts. Ray, if these chisels do make an appearance I'm still keen. Respectfully, Kev.

Have fun tonight folks.

Would love to join you guys but my two kids are still too young to be left at home alone. I hope it’s not too far off till I can get out and about again.

It’s been some time since I’ve posted here so I’ll add a few pics of groups of tools I’ve been using of late....

Me too.
Yes, I agree with you about Konrad being the maker of his generation. I’m a huge fan of his work. The design work and the execution are sublime.
The K series is his modern take on the...

Great Video. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you can get plenty of planes for less that potentially could work just as well. I see these as great value for money myself. AU to US dollar is pretty good in the US direction.
I’m very happy...

Have a look at Brian's Instagram feed for lots of pictures of the build. BJSPLANES on instagram. I'll take a pic or two with the camera this weekend. This one is a a quick snap with the phone.

I’ve been following Brian from BJS planes for a number of years now. I recently talked him into making me a little plane and matching mallet. Damascus and Ebony.
He has refined the design over time...

I hope you are not talking about me. Mine do get used... not as much as I’d like but I do have some output. Lol

I love this community. We are all a bit nuts from time to time but the comrades pull together to help get stuff done.

Terry told me that the plough planes may be available later this year but other stock production is coming first.
I have a few of Terry’s tools and I find the MF to be an excellent tool. I rate the...

Many of us have been waiting years and Trent has been delivering on orders from 2011 & 2012 in the past few months.
He appears to have come through a bad patch and is working through the list. ...

Hi John,
Have you made contact with Trent in the last few months? The email on the website is active and is now being checked regularly. I suggest you touch base to reconnect and clarify things. ...

Good to see. I love the look of these. I’m told mine are not too far away. I hope you enjoy them.

Well done on making this lovely plane Ian. It looks lovely and obviously works as intended.
Your method for peining the dovetails lines up with every method Ive seen.
Great stuff.

RIP dear fellow.

Hi Folks,
I've just been contacted by Trent and he has asked me to let people know that he is almost ready to jump back into production. But, first he wants to make good on any back orders and...

Well done Dom. You just need to make the time to use them now.

I find it hard to believe Trent does not know who he has taken deposits from. It is sad that his buisness has gone under. I still live in hope that I'll get some tools one day. Im not banking on it...

Matt,
I'll bring a few along at some stage and of course people can handle them and use them. They are just tools that cut wood after all. If they are not used they are totally wasted. Konrad was...

Ray, from what I have seen the chisels are right up there. Looking forward to setting up shop in a dedicated space for the first time.

I'm moving house shortly so I hope to build my shop in my double garage over the next little bit. So by the end of 2018 I hope to have a few tool cabinets and chests sorted. The big Ebony Set, the...

Yes it is. I got to choose which casting I wanted and Konrad used the same desert ironwood for his as in mine.

Today I decided a few of my favorite planes needed some space and I've put them on display for a bit.
I love to use these things and I enjoy the aesthetic too.
Sauer and Steiner and Daed...

They are great tools and work very well. I went for Ebony and I'm always thrilled with the tools Terry produces.

I like the ebony stuff I have but they are just tools that need to be used.
I'm hoping that I can set up a useful, productive shed in the next 12 months and use the tools most days.
I hope to...

Yes, a few of the infills are in need of a little TLC. I'm packing up and moving house shortly so it won't be for a while. I've promised myself some time next year to build my workshop.

Every couple of years I try to bring many of my tools back to as close as new condition as possible. 412904

OMG...head in a bucket of sand time. It is an accident waiting to happen.

Bob,
I find it amazing that you feel that you don't have 'trade cred'...anyone that knows your background knows you have loads of hands on and a theoretical understanding beyond most people's reach....

Amos,
From the bottom of my heart I say thank you for you generosity and craftsmanship. At the very first forum get together I attended you were kind enough to shown me your pens, talk to me about...

Congrats on the HNTs Lou,
they a functional Art.
Enjoy
