Adria dovetail and tenon saws are guaranteed to
cut fast and track straight. They are handcrafted one at
a time and each saw is tuned-up and tested before
shipping. Each saw is guaranteed to make a full depth,
absolutely straight cut out of the box.
The hardness of the steel used for blades is RC52, which
is hard enough to guarantee long use and infrequent need
for sharpening. |

Traditional style infill planes - Each
plane skillfully designed and built using old world
methods. Bodies of bronze, brass, or steel, carefully
hand dovetailed to a steel sole, and then fitted with
exotic woods. All components are hand-shaped and
assembled.
These planes are more than copies of the tools of the
well known makers of the past; they are unique examples
of the art of fine hand tools. |

Forging metal has become a passion and
a livelihood that has patterned my vision in life. I
have arrived at a stage where I no longer grapple with
the material. I revel in exploring the styles of the
past, as well as expressing new visions in metal. |

We've been at this since 1981, starting
out making knives and doing the craftsfair gigs, which
has got to be the toughest marketing work in the world.
The staff and students at James Krenov's Fine
Woodworking Program at the College of the Redwoods here
in Fort Bragg convinced me to re-tool to make plane
irons for them. |

We Make Fine Hand Tools for
Woodworkers. We equip our shaves with a pre-sharpened,
A-2 Steel blade. This steel is used because of its
exceptional ability to hold an edge and its durability.
Our standard and extra large size blades are hollow
ground on both sides, like an old fashioned straight
razor. This profile produces a smoother cut with less
friction and makes the blade easy to sharpen. |

The hand plane is an ancient tool, and
its design has changed little over time. I do not see
myself changing it. I do, however, borrow ideas from
different cultures and traditions, combining the best of
them into a new and better plane. I use Western,
Japanese, and Chinese traditions. By taking the best of
all worlds, I can combine features into a single tool
that can be used, enjoyed, and cherished indefinitely. |

Sauer & Steiner Toolworks was founded early in
2001 by Konrad Sauer and Joe Steiner. We had both been
building furniture for many years - and infill planes
were cornerstones of our furniture making. We loved
their feel, performance, aesthetics and the heritage
they came from. In 2003, Konrad Sauer became the sole
proprietor and plane maker at Sauer & Steiner. |

While the saws we list
are patterned after saws of our choice, we really will
make any saw one desires. For instance, we might be
making one patterned from one found in Moxon's book. As
its size is roughly the size of the small end of our
large tenon saws [14"], its pricing is based upon that
saw. |
