About thecraftspost.com: Your Gateway to the World of Lee Valley
Welcome to thecraftspost.com, the online destination for discerning woodworkers, gardeners, and makers who demand precision, quality, and inspiration. We are more than just a retailer; we are a dedicated conduit connecting you to the exceptional world of Lee Valley Tools. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide you with seamless access to the tools and hardware that transform raw materials into objects of beauty, function, and enduring value.
Our Story: A Foundation Built on Passion
thecraftspost.com was born from a shared frustration and a unifying passion. The founders, avid woodworkers themselves, understood the unique thrill of using a perfectly balanced chisel, the satisfaction of a joint that closes with a whisper, and the creative possibilities unlocked by a well-designed tool. While Lee Valley has long been revered as a benchmark for quality and innovation, we recognized a desire among the crafting community for a specialized, curated, and accessible online experience focused on this legendary brand.
We set out to build a platform that does justice to the products we sell. We are not a massive, impersonal marketplace. We are a team of enthusiasts who have felt the heft of a Veritas plane and have marveled at the ingenious design of a Veritas marking gauge. We vet every product we offer, not because we doubt Lee Valley’s standards, but because we want to speak from experience. We are here to be your trusted guide, helping you navigate the extensive Lee Valley catalog to find the exact tool that will elevate your next project.
