Coming to Australia: Thomas Lie-Nielsen

If there’s one man whose brand has become synonymous with the kind of quality in hand tools that people lust after, it’s Thomas Lie-Nielsen. Handplanes with shiny bronze and metal bodies along with mechanisms that can deliver the finest of shavings are just part of a range of tools that includes handsaws, chisels, spokeshaves and more.

In our increasingly digital lives there can be sense of unreality when we come face-to-face with someone we look up to. The good news is we can all come face-to-face with Thomas Lie-Nielsen when he visits Australia for the first time in October as a guest of Wood Dust Australia.

Evan Dunstone, Wood Dust Australia co-founder, writes compellingly about his own meeting with Thomas Lie-Nielsen when he visited Lie-Nielsen Toolworks in 2001 for his Churchill Fellowship. Read Evan’s account of that trip where you can also find out about the details of Thomas Lie-Nielsen’s visit to Australia in October this year.
