I've been away from ncwoodworker for awhile, but recently asked for help understanding the used tool market (especially LN) in the hand tools forum:
As many said and I agree, the current level of pricing for LN tools in new-or-close-too is more speculative than practical.
Bought a few Lie Nielson hand tools with the intent of moving to hand tools over time. Alas, this never happened.
I discovered that Lie-Nielsen Toolworks has suffered production challenges and many items are backordered or no longer in production.
The following new, never used items are offered for sale:
- Lie-Nielsen 3/8 inch Skew Chisel Pair $200 for both as a set
- Lie-Nielsen No. 49 Small Tongue and Groove Plane $300
- Lie-Nielsen Bevel Edge Socket Chisel set: 1/4",3/8",1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" and Tool Roll Plus addition of 1" chisel and one longer wood handle. [SOLD]
- Lie-Nielsen Mortise Chisels 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 inch. [SOLD]
- Lie-Nielsen 140 Skew Block Plane Right Hand - [SOLD]
- Lie-Nielsen 140 Skew Block Plane Left Hand - [SOLD]
All items have never been used or sharpened or tuned. Same condition as from Lie-Nielsen.
