Welcome Grant! Im glad you've joined us.
From everything I've heard and read, Terry Gordon builds great stuff. I know Derek Cohen (also an Aussie and extremely talented) has sung HNT's praises in a number of posts. When I get skilled enough to warrant tools in that price range, I'd like to see for myself. So when the website comes back up and you place/receive your order, it would be great if you'd post a brief review here!
Take care,
Fred

Hi Grant,
Welcome to The Creek!
I thought maybe HNT Gordon had retired a ways back when my local store, Highland Woodworking, stopped carrying things they use to carry. I also discovered Craftsman Studio in California, who use to offer many of Terry's planes, only had old stock. As I understand it the shipping from Australia is quite high. Maybe shipping costs made HNT Gordon prices high here in the US causing some of the stores that use to carry Terry's planes to stop carrying them.
I was interested in Terry's planes too but could not find them in the US so I tried a few other routes.
Sorry, the site is not up for me yet. Maybe it is sleeping in?

Still get a 403 error too. I'm going to blame the NSA, it's a plot to keep us Yanks from getting quality planes.
Just to keep the Where's Waldo tone going ;-)

Took a bit to load, but it worked for me. Am I in the right place? www.hntgordon.com.au/
Works fine on android with Google chrome. ... I was stunned by the amazing work he puts into his planes. Incredible stuff...
I got a 403 error as late as noon yesterday, but it seems to be working now. Windows 7 / Google Chrome
Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.
