That's a very good idea to reverse engineer one. There are plenty up for sale on eBay. Your advice is very useful as always.

I hoping to gain some good advice here. Recently Window Shutter/ Plantation Shutters have become popular again. I have been looking for a detail plan for it with little success. There are some plans out there but not detailed enough to build one from scratch. Have any of you experienced...

I have seen couple of hand planes and chisels with previous owners name on them. Do you mark your tools? Why and how? Is there anybody here who makes metal stamps? let’s get some opinions in.

@Adam W. Hi Adam Did I miss the LN no 6 plane here?

Hi I couldn't see the LN NO 6 on the pictures. Do I need to visit Specsavers?

Well, let's start with some background. I don't have much family history of cabinet making to rely on. Besides a few summer months, I spent watching a backgammon maker and a few boxes I made in my uncle's basement. I rediscovered my love of working with wood in recent years. A novice to hand...

Hi My price comparison was just a market reality. We get charged more compared to our friends on the other side of the pond. The fact that I see some item overpriced is my personal opinion. Although I would love to support the last man standing but my budget stretches to a limit.

That’s exactly the numbers thank you. LN small shoulder plane was £185 until last weekend and Clifton was £190. I think they should be near to £140 as LN actual pre export/input duty added.

I need to make it clear. LN has its products priced for the US market let’s say $250 which is almost £190 but we end up paying £280 due to different added costs of importing. The TF is pricing their products almost £280 and equal to LN product. They could use their advantage of being local...

I started with some tools from eBay and enjoyed hours of flattening and sharpening. That said I bought a plane (brand new) and spent days trying to flatten it. Rewarding myself with some beautifully made tools is a treat and almost the only remaining one.

Thank you for the information. I’ll try to call them.

The collection looks amazing. Are they getting neglected in the box?

WOW Such an amazing response. I am delighted with all the new information I learned Has anybody got a spare LN 7 or 8 for rehousing? https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/lie-nielsen-jointer-plane.136182/

I've seen their workshop and manufacturing facilities. It's a small company with limited capacity. They produce Clifton planes and lots of different hand saws. Covid lockdown caused an increased demand for hand tools and a reduction in manufacturing capacity. I prefer old Clifton tools better.

The only problem with Clifton is their price. For Lie Nielsen, they are cheaper in the states but Clifton is asking for the premium price even before export duties and other costs. In mho, they should review their pricing strategy.

I am after a no: 7 or 8 Lie Nielsen jointer plane. I bought another brand but it was an absolute pain to get it to work. Has anybody got one suitable for a new home? Ta

Thank you for the link. The fact that Axi is stating they are unlikely to receive any supply is worrying.

Hi Adam I have a shooting Board right-handed version 51 and a 5.5 jack plane in my toolbox. Thank you for the offer though.

I was after a shoulder plane and would love to have one of their jointer planes in the workshop.

I have noticed there is a severe supply problem with Lie Nielsen tolls. Now Axminster website has marked them as unlikely to receive any more supply. Is it the end of the Lie Nielsen market in the Uk? Does anyone have any idea? Cheers
