Lie-Nielsen also just introduced their hold fasts.
I was just going to post the same thing. They're in the new LN newsletter.

Auriou Forged holdfast

"The Forge De Saint-Juéry, where Auriou's exquisite hand-stitched rasps are born, now makes a hand-forged bench hold down for the discriminating bench owner and woodworker."
I like how they make a point of saying its for the discriminating bench owner and woodworker.... as in those are two different potential buyers.
LOL, they must have done there research on the boutioque tool buyer market!
I don't like to discriminate so I won't be buying one of those.
Well, I ordered 2 holdfast's from Lie-Nielsen today and they said they would be shipped Mon. I hope they work ok. Will let you all know how they work when I get them.
I just ordered a pair from TFWW.....

Nope, Mark Atchison's work; bought these a few years ago and they work great in my 4" thick bench top.
These replaced a pr. of Gramercy's, which I confidently sold to another ( I'm sure quite pleased) woodworker.
For a quality, economical holdfast that actually works like it should- Gramercy is#1;
for something with real panache- Peter Ross or Mark Atchison.
I got my lie-nielsen holdfasts to day. I have a 4" thick workbench and when I tried them out they worked fine. I am going to like them very much.
