Holtey Custom Planes

Jaw. Dropping. Beauty.

If you have a lot of money you don’t want any more and know a thing of absolute beauty when you see one, check out the staggering—just staggering—beauty of Holtey Planes.

A former cabinet maker and joiner, Holtey makes everything himself except the blades. Everything. Yes, he has modern machines, as he points out, but each plane has hundreds of hours in it. He tries to make the next one better than the last one—words, perhaps, that have a bigger meaning for our day-to-day interactions with the world around us.
