About Us

Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Australia

Is an internet sales business, based in Strathalbyn, South Australia specializing in the supply of high-quality hand woodworking tools in both Australia and New Zealand. Made in the USA, these tools were created with the intention to be superbly functional heirlooms passed on for generations, created to maintain skills that are in danger of becoming a lost art. 

Additionally, a school is attached to the business with the express intention of teaching hand skills in woodworking. Not just to allow the use of some of the finest hand tools made today, but to improve the knowledge and skills to get the best from them, to get a second life for our timber resources, and produce beautiful pieces that will also become heirlooms themselves. 

To be able to use and produce something well made and beautiful is fundamental to health and wellbeing in our throwaway society.
