I love this plane. As it floats across the work, a delicate whisper entices lace-like fibers from the wood. It is functional and beautiful. I love this plane. +

John Economaki founded Bridge City Toolworks in 1983. He manufactured high-quality hand tools for woodworkers at a time when fine hand tool options were very limited. The tools were designed to be both functional and beautiful. John always said, "Quality is contagious." Every tool from Bridge City marries functional design with artistic form in an effort to inspire that same quality in all our efforts. +

One of my best friends gifted me this tool. Whenever I use it, I think of him. This tool is so handy to use for small drilling tasks. You need to use it with a hex shank though. Sometimes I dream of removing the small chuck and swapping it for a quick connect style chuck but then I get to work and enjoy the tool how it is. Such a fun little brace. I highly recommend the brace and my friend who gave it to me. +

This is my favorite marking gauge that Bridge City Toolworks made. The rosewood and brass combine to create a tool both elegant and hefty. I love that the ruler is easy to read and easy to adjust if it gets out of whack. You can easily set this and get accurate and repeatable marks on your wood. Such a cool tool. +
This tool is based on the Stanley No. 60 1/2 but is so much better. It just goes and goes, fits well in the hand, and is made of their super durable ductile iron in case you drop it. This is a worker for sure. +
This was one of my first tools I bought from Lie-Nielsen. I remember carefully opening it to discover delight inside. The bronze was perfectly brushed. When I took it out of the box I just held it and looked at it. I had no idea what it was. I knew it was a smoothing plane but I didn't know how iconic the plane was but I could see that it was something else. The well-proportioned size and shape with the surprising heft that the bronze brings left me in awe and still does.
I've thought of changing the handle and knob to some golden olive wood with figure or a rich rosewood but something about the cherry it comes with is how I keep it. Sometimes I let a patina develop but sometimes I can't resist polishing it up so it shines. My appreciation of this plane might get in the way of me using it but the shavings it makes are so thin and wispy that I can't resist using it.
I didn't know what I was doing when I started with this plane and while I was planing over a knot in a piece of wood I must have run it over a rock a couple of times because the bottom is scratched. I could probably resurface the sole but those scratches remind me of a time when I didn't know very much and a time when the wonder of hand tools began. I love this plane. +
This was one of the first tools I purchased from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. I had been watching Roy Underhill talk about hand tools for a little while and I wanted to try my hand at it. Woodworking looked easy and fun! So, I went out to a woodworking store and bought three planes. The purchase felt like a lot of money at the time. I went home and unboxed these items to find tooling marks, iron filings between the frog and bed, dings in handles, blades not at right angles...it was rough. I was so disappointed.
I didn't have the know-how to fix these tools up but I felt like I shouldn't have to for that much money. I went online and found someone recommending Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. I had no idea what that was but I ordered three planes. This plane was one of them. When it finally came and I handled the tool, I couldn't help but smile.
Since then, the 62 has been a tool I regularly use to quickly dimension roughed boards. I love the moderate length but somewhat light feel and the adjustable mouth is super handy for all kids of work. +

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. +
