Serious Woodworkers Know and Trust the Forrest Name
Forrest Manufacturing Company is one company where the virtues of quality and service are still important.
We're proud of the reputation for excellence we've earned since our company was founded over fifty-five years ago. For more than three generations, craftsmen have appreciated our superior products and customer-friendly way of doing business. They've come to rely on Forrest blades for superior handling and performance. They also enjoy dealing with a service department that really does put the customer first.

Family Owned
In this age of impersonal corporations, we're pleased to say that Forrest Manufacturing is still family owned and operated.
Because our name is on the products we sell, we insist that every blade and dado be made in the U.S. by skilled workers who share our commitment to quality. Equally important, we stand behind what we sell with a 30-day, full-refund guarantee.

The Story Behind Our Success
Here at Forrest, we take the extra steps during the manufacturing process to make certain our blades meet or exceed your expectations.
For example, our blades are precision engineered using a unique, corrosion-resistant C-4 micrograin carbide. This type of carbide, the hardest available anywhere, dramatically reduces the brittleness often associated with C-4. So you get blades that are 40% stronger and last up to 300% longer between sharpenings.
Forrest also uses a proprietary process to create the finest cutting edges in the world. We select grinding equipment that utilizes the best technology available, and we combine that with the time-tested method of straightening our plates by hand.
Our specially-made diamond grit grinding wheels produce an exceptional grind and the finest cutting edges possible. Each tooth bears exactly the same chip load as the others, giving you a smooth, solid, quality cut without chattering. Splintering, scratching, and tearouts are either eliminated altogether or reduced significantly.
Perimeter concentricity, plate flatness, and side runout are held to such tight tolerances??an astonishing +/- .001 runout??that perfection is ensured for every type of cut??whether crosscuts, rip cuts, or miters. And our blades cut quietly??as quietly as other blades with extra slots that compromise blade strength. You'll welcome the reduced noise in your shop once you're using your new Forrest blade!

Our Mission is to design and create beautiful, heirloom quality, hand tools that inspire woodworkers and other artisans. Through exceptional support and education, our customers receive the same personal attention we put into our tools.

Quality
Our first priority is quality. Instead of out-sourcing all our jobs for the cheapest price and short-term profit, we are stubbornly local and believe the best quality is right here in New England. We source our metal castings from New England foundries, our wood from Maine sawyers, and use a combination of modern CNC technology, Bridgeport milling machines, and good old-fashioned hand work to make nearly 100 different types of tools in our mid-coast Maine shop.

Education and Support
Many of our customers are new to hand tool woodworking or want to take their skills to the next level. Our expanding line of instructional DVDs and YouTube videos, produced in-house, explore a wide range of hand tool woodworking topics and feature many of today's master woodworkers .

We also offer a variety of Weekend Workshops each summer, held in our classroom in Maine and taught by expert woodworkers . Our showroom and shop are open to the public year-round for tours and demonstrations.

Our traveling Hand Tool Events? give you the chance to try our full line of tools and learn techniques directly from our staff. These events are unique in the philosophy behind them and the experiences at each one. Each year, we visit over 40 schools, guilds, woodshops, and businesses across North America and set up a full Lie-Nielsen shop for two days. We invite other hand toolmakers to join us and demonstrate their own tools at each Event, giving visitors exposure to many lesserknown fine tools on the market. There is no charge to attend. Our focus is to promote woodworking education, hands-on skill building, and a spirit of collaboration.

Grinding and Polishing a PlaneHistory
LIE-NIELSEN TOOLWORKS began in 1981 as an effort to make top-quality hand tools available again from a U.S. maker and to revive discontinued, but useful, designs so the average woodworker could obtain them.

Today we make over 100 types of planes, saws, spokeshaves, chisels, floats and more. We have improved and refined designs, and use better materials like Ductile Iron and Manganese Bronze for castings and cryogenically treated A-2 Tool Steel for the blades. Our plane blades are much thicker than those of any other production planes. The quality of machining and finishing results in a tool that looks as great as it works, and will be a pleasure to use for years to come.

We are proud to continue the tradition of Made in America. Instead of out-sourcing all our jobs for the cheapest price and short term profit, we are stubbornly local. We have found that the best quality is right here in Maine. We source our metal castings from New England foundries, our wood from Maine sawyers, and make almost everything else the old-fashioned way at our shop in Warren.

About Our Tools
Many of our hand planes derive from discontinued Stanley designs, refined to meet higher quality standards. Our blades are thicker and harder, our castings are thicker, flatter, and more resilient, our parts fit more precisely, our surfaces ground more accurately, and we put careful hand work into the final fit and finish of each tool.

We make our tools from high-grade materials, many of which had previously been too expensive, not yet fully developed, or unavailable in suitable tool-making quality

Ductile Iron
We were the first plane makers to start making our tools from Ductile Iron, which is far stronger and more resilient than traditional Gray Iron. Ductile Iron bodies absorb vibrations, are highly resistant to cracking, and will survive an accidental fall to the workshop floor that would break a Gray Iron casting. In our tests with the 60 ? Rabbet Block Plane, a 15' drop onto concrete, nose first, bent the tool a trifle, but did not break the casting.

Manganese Bronze
Though Cast Iron has long been the material of choice for mass-produced tools, we use Manganese Bronze for many of our components and smaller plane bodies. It is heavier than Iron and adds heft to the tool, doesn't rust, won't crack if dropped, and has wonderful warmth in the hand. It is one of the hardest, strongest Bronze alloys and wears very well, unlike Brass and softer Bronzes.

Stress Relieved Castings
Stress relieving metal castings is an essential part of making quality hand planes. When metal is cast, particularly in a long flat shape like a bench plane, internal stresses must be relieved to ensure the machined casting will stay flat over time. We stress relieve all our castings by soaking them at high temperature with a slow cooling over 48 hours.

Blade Steel
The blade is the most important part of a hand tool. Our blades are thicker than other manufacturers' for a solid cut with minimal vibration. We use A2 tool steel for most of our blades because our tests have shown that the edge lasts significantly longer than O1 tool steel, and sharpens readily with waterstones. Blades are hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically treated and double tempered for an even finer grain and enhanced durability.

Some folks are used to working with O1-type steel and like the way it sharpens with oilstones, so we offer O1 blades for many of our planes as well.

Wood Handles & Knobs
We use sustainably-grown, native hardwoods for our handles and knobs: Cherry, Curly Maple, Hickory, and Maine-grown Hornbeam. We carefully shape our plane and saw handles by machine and by hand to ensure a comfortable grip, finish them with wiping varnish, oil, or wax, and hand-buff them to a silky smooth surface.

Quality & Workmanship
Our first priority is quality. Instead of out-sourcing our jobs for the cheapest price and short-term profit, we are stubbornly local and believe the best quality is right here in New England. We source our metal castings from New England foundries, our wood from Maine sawyers, and use a combination of modern CNC technology, Bridgeport milling machines, and good old-fashioned hand work to make nearly 100 different types of tools in our mid-coast Maine shop

Well, it's no small task to summarize twenty years of woodworking history, but we'll try!

Marc Adams School of Woodworking 1993 was the first year of the school. That summer Marc taught 16 classes in 16 straight weeks to over 150 students without the aid of assistants or outside instructors. It nearly wiped him out! Clearly the school would have to enlist the aid of other master woodworkers.

In 1995 the school saw several notable authors and woodworkers (such as Dr R. Bruce Hoadley, Bob Flexner, Bonnie Klein, John Jordan, Kelly Mehler, Seth Stem, and Dr Roger Cliffe) come to MASW to help teach specialized areas and expand the curriculum. The school went from 16 classes the first year to 25 classes the in the second year.

1996 was the first year that we started offering two workshops every week. It was also the first year that we offered a two-week Apprenticeship class. Our workshops expanded from 25 classes to nearly 40 classes. Classes now ran from the first of June to the end of September.

The school took another major leap in 1997 when we started the Excellence Through Education program which now boasts over 30 students per year who complete their Masters certificate. Today there are over one thousand students currently working toward that title.

1998 to 2000 were the years that the school defined itself as a leader in woodworking education. Our curriculum continued to grow with nearly 70 workshops each summer! It was during this time that Zane, Doug, and Herman started working each summer on a full-time basis.

2001 was a difficult year for all of us with the events of 911 and unfortunately it was also the year we lost Dr. Roger Cliffe to a sudden heart attack. It was in that same year that we added two new workbench rooms taking our total square footage up to nearly 14,000 square feet.

The tenth anniversary of the founding of the school was 2003. It was also the year that Michael Fortune helped develop and direct the Fellowship program that would allow the MASW family of Masters to pursue a series of advanced level workshops. The school also began planning a new facility to house all those new OneWay lathes.

2004 was the year that that new facility was completed with over 6,600 square feet of space that allowed us to grow from two workshops each week to three. For the first time MASW offered over 125 workshops in one summer! This was the year that Alan Lacer helped develop the Woodturning Fellowship. In memory of John Coolidge, the Masters of MASW started an award for the Student of the Year.

In 2005 the school saw continued growth, both in the number of students attending classes and in the diversity of the programs. The school also reached out to become truly international as we were honored to have our first international intern, Yuko, travel from Japan to join us for a summer of learning.

2006 and 2007 brought a combined total of 110 world-class instructors and over 140 classes - half of which were totally different from those taught the preceding year. In addition, the school's return rate remained above 90%! In the summer of 2007, we hit a record number of students for one summer at 3,058.

The school celebrated the 15th anniversary of the school in 2008. In just 15 short years we had offered nearly 1000 workshops, taught by nearly 200 of the most recognized authors, artists, and woodworking legends this craft has to offer.

In 2009, MASW featured more than 60 world-class instructors in more than 135 classes. We have had just over 200 people complete their Masters, representing 34 different states. Currently there are more than 1,000 people working towards that same goal. As a group, the alumni of MASW have developed a very unique community where belonging means something special.

Can't wait to see what 2012 will bring!
