Lie-Nielsen and Blue Spruce to merge?

[Hilton Ralphs]

Heard that after a savage report in the press recently, Blue Spruce and Lie-Nielsen are cutting their losses and are merging.

The new company will apparently be called Bruce-Lie. :)

Groan :cool: :)

Oh man. Totally got me. I was all excited about LN offering something larger than 1" chisels with flamed maple handles. Sadly, forum rules prohibit me from calling you what I am thinking right now. ;)

If you want to irritate a FedEx courier, just tell them a similar joke with FedEx and UPS merging and becoming FedUp. I always hated that joke. Every time the person was so sure they were the first person to ever tell you that joke.

That's better than Blue-Nielsen.....I guess.

[Harold Burrell]

Wait...does that mean that they are outsourcing to Hong Kong??? :eek:

*facepalm*

All I can do is shake my head.

Hook line and sinker for me.

[Danny Thompson]

Hook, line, and "snicker"? Nothing like niche humor, like Steve Martin's "I said 'sprocket', not 'socket'"!

Funny you mention that. Blue Spruce is making a cylindrical mallet for Lie-Nielsen. It's in their new item section. I have one and it is very nice and a pleasure to use. The head is infused hornbeam.
