History
The Lie Nielsen No. 1 is based off of the Stanley No. 1 bench plane. The overall size of this plane is loosely equivalent to a block plane, yet with a rear handle and smaller front tote. Made for small detail work and smoothing operations during touch up. The bronze body lends heft to this smaller size plane, typically smaller iron planes feel light and some users observe the bronze in the smaller plane improves performance.
Lie Nielsen has been making hand planes since 1981, bringing discontinued designs back to production.
