The September/October issue of Quercus featured an interview with Thomas Lie-Nielsen, the driving force behind a renaissance in hand-tools over the last 25 years. Tom tells Quercus about the early days of his toolmaking business, and looks ahead, moving ahead after the pandemic and other challenges. There’s plenty more about tools in QM14, including Robin Gates’ feature on chisel planes alongside John Lloyd discussing paring chisels. Derek Cohen from Australia gives detailed instructions on cutting accurate through tenons and in Spain Germán Peraire makes his own honing guide, while Swedish concert pianist Martin Sturfält tells how Lockdown transformed his woodworking life. George Walker and Jim Tolpin explore the principles of marking up and laying out projects, and Bill Ratcliffe reveals why he loves fish glue.
