Founded by Thomas Lie-Nielsen in 1981, Lie-Nielsen Toolworks manufactures heirloom-quality hand tools for woodworkers. The company specializes in a wide variety of hand planes and specialty tools, as well as saws, spokeshaves, floats and chisels. Lie-Nielsen Toolworks also produces a collection of instructional DVDs, featuring several notable craftsmen in the industry. A considerable amount of meticulous hand labor goes into the manufacturing of each tool on the premises in Warren, Maine, and this attention to detail ensures these tools will be a pleasure to use for years to come.

In the last decade, the company has grown to 80 employees, including a separate wood shop in Waldoboro that produces handles and knobs for the tools as well as workbenches and shavehorses. Lie-Nielsen Toolworks is credited for bringing several new technologies to the plane-making process, including unbreakable ductile iron bodies, powder coating, and cryogenically treated steel blades.

Thomas Lie-Nielsen has built his reputation on a firm commitment to the highest quality in materials, workmanship and customer service. The Lie-Nielsen name is recognized and respected among woodworkers worldwide.
