Thomas Lie-Nielsen founded Lie-Nielsen Toolworks in 1981 with goal of making high quality hand tools available to the everyday woodworker. They started with a bronze edge plane based on the Stanley No. 95. His low angle block plane and skew block plane came next. The iconic Bronze No.4 would come later but remains a much sought after tool in every hand tool worker's collection. Every tool from Lie-Nielsen is heirloom quality. Every package they send out is sure to delight. Their efforts take us to a time when quality and craftsmanship mattered and remind us of a time we hope can come again.
