Lie-Nielsen Toolworks LIE-NIELSEN TOOLWORKS began in 1981 as an effort to make top-quality hand tools available again from a U.S. maker and to revive discontinued, but useful, designs so the average woodworker could obtain them. Today we make over 50 types of planes, saws, spokeshaves, chisels, floats and more. We have improved and refined designs, and use better materials like Ductile Iron and Manganese Bronze for castings and cryogenically treated A-2 Tool Steel for the blades. Our plane blades are much thicker than those of any other production planes. The quality of machining and finishing results in a tool that looks as great as it works, and will be a pleasure to use for years to come.

Ron,

Yes and when it does John is going to have the brightest shop in existence. In fact at night astronomers will think they have found a new star.

What's this? John's tables have electric motors that make them turn? Well, at least when he gets powered up. I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it!

Anyway, I have one too, and while I've never thrown 70 doors at it[] it's worked great for the few times I've used it since I don't own a jam/router set for cutting out door hinges or lock set holes. Brice, it's actually one of their cheaper hand planes, so you're not even in the pricey league yet with L-N.......

Dear Leakyroof: I'll have you know that I did not write "butt mortise chisel" which was what Fred had also not written in his post. He then used his administrator status to go back and change things just to make me look good but it did not work. I wish I knew what a butt mortise plane is. I had just never heard of a one and thought that it apparently did not exist - either in reality or in my other reality. Sigh. I am such a ba$tard!

Pilkow,

I think that you are being a little harsh on yourself. Never fear there are many of us here on the board that know your issues and will still speak to you.
