String Inlay Tools – Radius Cutters

Glen D. Huey — Wed, 08 May 2013 22:30:12 +0000

On Hannah’s Inlaid Chest from our June 2013 magazine (issue #204), I scratched most of the string inlay by hand using tools from both Lie-Nielsen Toolworks and Lee Valley/Veritas. Of the string inlay tools used on the chest, the most import is the radius cutter. For that job, I selected the tool from Lie-Nielsen (item … Read more »

New Bulletproof Vises from Lie-Nielsen

Christopher Schwarz — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:10:16 +0000

Lie-Nielsen’s heavy-duty chain-drive mechanism has recently been used to create two new vises from the Warren, Maine, tool manufacturer – a dovetailing vise and a leg vise. I got a chance to use both new vises while in Maine in July, and am both impressed and convinced. By “impressed” I mean they are worthy of … Read more »

Megan Fitzpatrick — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:20:01 +0000

In the August 2012 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine (which mails to subscribers on June 13), you’ll find a review of the Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Violin Maker’s Plane (also called the 101), which is based loosely on the Stanley 101. I filmed the short video below to show how the plane comes apart, goes back together, … Read more »

Tool Test: Lie-Nielsen No. 101 Block Plane

Article Index — Tue, 29 May 2012 20:54:17 +0000

By Megan Fitzpatrick Page 16This wee bronze plane from Warren, Maine, is a reproduction (of sorts) of the Stanley No. 101 plane – a small block plane originally designed for household use and light work (and sold in toy tool chests, according to Patrick Leach’s “Blood and Gore” web site).But unlike its inspiration, this new version from Lie-Nielsen, which is also called a violin maker’s plane, has all the same features as its slightly larger cousin, the No. 102, including a stainless steel adjuster to advance and retract the blade.With a sole just less than 3" long and 11⁄4" wide, the plane fits comfortably in even the smallest hands, and its size allows you to work very locally indeed, and in tight spaces – and anywhere else you’d typically turn to a block plane. Plus, it’s the perfect size for slipping into an apron pocket or even your pants pocket.The 7⁄8"-wide A2 steel iron is bedded at 20° for a typical 45° cutting angle.Web site: www.lie-nielsen.com Video: See the No. 101 plane in action.

The Lie-Nielsen Crates are Here! The Lie-Nielsen Crates are Here!

Megan Fitzpatrick — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:27:35 +0000

Last year when we moved the crates for the Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event into our former shop, it was a half-hour production with a lot of grunting, sweating and jerry-rigging to get the 3,000+ pounds of Lie-Nielsen goodies off the truck, through inconveniently narrow gates to the “loading dock” outside our doors, over the annoyingly … Read more »
