Knew Concepts 6 1/2'' Coping Saw
On the Knew Concepts Coping Saw the blade is tensioned by a cam-lever and pulls so taut that the blade "sings" when plucked. Chris Schwarz said "...it's more like sawing with an unbendable wire than a floppy steel hotdog (which is what is typical of most saws)". Make turns that are tighter than ever before.
The solid steel indexing blade-hooks lock in eight 45° positions...
Knew Concepts Mk.IV Heavy Duty Fret Saw with Lever Tension
The Knew Concepts Mk. IV saws are designed to pull 50-60lbs of tension on their blades, which makes it much stronger, and the blades vibrate less than the standard saws.

Lee Valley Winding Sticks

If the edges are parallel, the board is not twisted. Reposition and repeat to check the entire...

Lie-Nielsen No. 85 Scraper Plane
Scraping Planes are used for finishing woods that do not yield well to the hand plane. A scraping plane is more comfortable to use than a hand scraper, and a plane body helps you keep the surface you are scraping flat.
They can be tricky to master, however. To make it easier, Lie-Nielsen do not recommend using a burr, at least until you’ve learned how to use the tool. These tools will cut...

Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisels
Until recently we stocked the Narex 8116 range of bevel edge chisels which were popular amongst students and people starting out in woodworking. Most importantly the steel in the 8116 range was very good but in our opinion the balance and feel would sometimes let them down. I'm glad to say that this new premium range 8150 from Narex is a massive improvement upon the old chisels. Yes they are not...
