Terry Walker

Terry Walker was fortunate to have a father who had great woodworking skills and who delighted in sharing his knowledge as well as the extensive collection of his own father’s classic woodworking tools with his son.  So, from a very young age Terry has enjoyed working with wood and appreciated the need to use the right tool for the job.  Inventing new and better ways of doing things has been a driving force throughout his life

25 years ago Terry’s involvement in design and manufacturing resulted in joint venture projects in Australia, Hong Kong and Japan. In 1987 Terry formed a company designing and building custom

furniture for a variety of household and industrial applications.  Years later as Managing Director of the same, by now a substantial, organisation, he had grown its endeavours to include high volume manufacture. Terry sold the business in 2002.

Since then, following the growth in the use of power tools and DIY, Terry Walker’s motivation is still a love of functional design, working with wood and finding a better way to do things.  A chance meeting with inventor and educator, Terry Gosschalk, and their mutual recognition of the need for power tool attachments, which are useful, versatile and inexpensive has resulted in the formation of  T and T Design and the realisation of this range of outstanding products.

Call Terry a woodworker or a metalworker and you still have not covered the variety of skills he has accumulated. But then that is not much different from most workshop enthusiasts who derive personal satisfaction from Doing it Yourself.

Terry has worked as a coach builder, and a cabinet maker, and has 32 years experience as an

The accidental finding and partnership with Terry Walker, a person with complementary skills, interests, experience, and personality has resulted in a very productive entity with the promise of many more innovative products to come.

As they say in the advertising world: 'Watch this space'.

All of the products on this web-site evolved in answer to unsatisfied needs that the two Terrys have encountered in the workshop (and the classroom). Finding better ways to get the job done has always been a challenge and a consuming passion for the two Terrys.
